Gabriel didn’t miss the subtle changes in her expression as his warm voice carried a faint smile. “Are you worried that the Gilbert family will abandon you as their future daughter-in-law if the reporters catch you cheating on them?”
The words ‘cheat’ were unbearable to her ears and Serenity’s expression turned cold as she raised her hand and pointed at the door. “Get out!”
Her watery eyes were dark but Gabriel was neither angry nor annoyed. Instead, there was a faint smile on his thin lips. Before he left, he gave her a meaningful glance that was so secretive that a chill ran down her spine.
The door of the lounge opened again. Not bothering to look up, Serenity immediately said, “What exactly do you want…”
But when she saw the person who came in, she immediately stopped talking.
Selena looked at her blankly. “What’s wrong?”
Serenity smiled and changed the topic. “How are things looking outside?”
Selena was wearing a purple gown today, making her look even more dignified and noble. Her gentle temperament was full of charm as she said, “Almost everyone is here, so it’s about time. I’ll help you touch up your makeup.”
Calvin was wearing a white suit and a red tie today, making him look elegant and dignified. He patted John’s chest and proudly said, “Is this really what you’re going to wear today?”
John was dressed in a black suit. With the two men standing next to each other, they looked like an angel and a demon side by side. John smiled and said, “You look like a dog.”
Calvin snorted. “After today, Serenity will be my fiancee. If you don’t go along with my wishes in the future, don’t blame me for abusing her.”
John sent him a look of warning with a side-eye. “You wouldn’t dare.”
As the two continued to tease each other, Zachary Gilbert came over anxiously. Calvin noticed and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Zachary couldn’t keep himself calm as he said, “The German and American companies that are collaborating with us in this new project have pulled the money. A restaurant under the Gilbert Group’s name has caused a death and the manager has been taken away by the police.”
Calvin’s and John’s expressions changed as the two quickly returned to the VIP room and turned on the computer. The news of the death in the restaurant was all over the headlines. In just half an hour, the Gilbert Group’s stock fell.
It was possible to hush up the loss of life at the restaurant, but the most critical thing was the withdrawal of the new project’s partners. The project had already begun. If it stopped now, they would lose billions.
Calvin had just joined the company not long ago. Before that, he only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Now that such a big thing had happened, he panicked and did not know what to do. He grabbed his hair anxiously, messing up his smooth hair.
John was calmer than him. “Let the public relations department of the Gilbert Group suppress the media first. Call the partners and ask for the reason for their withdrawal.”
“I’ve already made the call,” said Zachary seriously.” Don’t worry about the media. However, we can’t contact the partners. The persons in charge had their phones switched off.”
Calvin slammed his fist on the table, looking disheveled. “I’ll go to the company to look for them. I don’t believe 1 wouldn’t be able to catch them in time.”
John grabbed his arm and looked at him seriously. “Today is your engagement day. What will happen to Serene if you leave? You stay, I’ll go.”
Calvin flung his hand away and his open suit jacket slipped off one of his shoulders. He turned around and glared at John angrily.. “Serenity, Serenity! You only have eyes for Serenity! With such a big incident happening to Gilbert Group, how could 1 care about her? If you’re afraid that your Serenity will be wronged, marry her yourself then!”
