Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Company lunch time commenced at noon, and Sulia was not an unreasonable person, which was why she suggested 12.10 p.m. to factor in the travel time of taking the elevator and walking over.
After all, Sulia came from a scholarly family.
She called the waiter over who handed her the menu. She pushed it across the table to Serenity. “Take a look and order whatever you want to eat.”
Serenity knew very well that Sulia did not ask her out for a meal. She handed the menu to the waiter. “Give me a glass of lemonade. 1 don’t need anything else.”
“Pregnant people should drink ‘that’ to be healthy,” said Sulia.
Serenity was surprised and eventually said to the waiter, “A glass of plain water instead.”
After the waiter left, Sulia Silver looked at Serenity with a serious gaze. “Ms. Serenity, I’m sure you know why I’ve invited you out today.”
“Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it,” said Serenity calmly.
“Leave Gabriel after you give birth. I’ll compensate you fairly,” said Sulia.
Although the circle of wealthy families was complicated, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing. She smiled lightly. “Madam Jones, I’m his legal wife. If he doesn’t ask for a divorce, I won’t leave.”
Sulia started to glare at Serenity. “Didn’t you marry him for money? As long as you can leave him, I’ll agree to any amount of money.”
The Rivers family wasn’t as wealthy as the Jones family so it was reasonable for Sulia Silver to think this way. Serenity remained calm as she said, “It’s not for money.”
“If it wasn’t for money, how did your dad’s company come back to life?” Sulia sneered. And why would Gabriel invest in Rivers Group?”
“What?” Serenity looked at Sulia blankly.
Sulia continued to relay the news she had found out. “On the second day after you registered your marriage, Gabriel invested 200 million yuan in Rivers Group. He even gave a few contracts to your father.”
Serenity’s eyes widened in disbelief. She had no idea about this at all.” How did you know?”
Sulia couldn’t tell if Serenity truly didn’t know or was just pretending. “You can ask Gabriel or your father.”
“Even if that may be true, I didn’t marry Gabriel for his status and wealth. Regardless of whether you believe me or not, if you give me a chance, I will prove myself to you.”
Sulia was taken aback by the stubborn tenacity of the girl before her that shone through her dark eyes. Even after she said such embarrassing words, Serenity remained calm and composed.
“You have to know that I’m not the only one who has the final say in you entering the Jones family.” Sulia was still determined to make Serenity back down.
“I know.” Serenity nodded.
There was also Gabriel’s father, Keith Jones.
A woman holding a magazine was sitting at the table behind them overheard their conversation, especially the earlier part when Sulia mentioned the ‘healthy drink’ pregnant people should have” The woman was so shocked she almost dropped her magazine.
Linda had followed Sulia over when the former saw the latter’s car leaving the mall the former was shopping in.
Sulia looked like she had an appointment, so after disguising herself, Linda chose a seat closest to her and sat down.
She didn’t expect Sulia’s date to be Serenity.
Not only was Serenity married to Gabriel, but she was also pregnant!
A ruthless look flashed across her gorgeous face and the magazine in her hand was deformed by her grip.
Before Sulia left, she took a deep look at the gentle Serenity.
Once the lady was gone, Linda put on her sunglasses and elegantly left with her expensive bag as well like a proud queen.
Serenity did not leave immediately. Instead, she stared blankly at the water that the waiter brought over..
