She let go of the doorknob, stepped over the debris under her feet, and walked in. She stopped one meter away from Old Master Samson and called out to him gently. “Grandpa.”
Old Master Samson was not on the leather chair behind the desk. Instead, he sat on the sofa by the window, next to a coffee table that had the tea set she had given him. Most likely freshly brewed, the tea was emitting a thin mist.
Old Master Samson glared at her angrily the moment his eyes found her. Stern and as cold as eyes, he asked, “Did you sabotage Selena and John’s divorce?”
Through the anger in his eyes, Serenity could also see the fatigue that lingered.
Old Master Samson had been in Oakland all year round and would not come back for no reason. Yet, here he was, arriving so suddenly and all because of Selena and John’s divorce.
The moment he stepped off the plane and reached the main residence, he had Mrs. Walter call Serenity over. He had not had a moment of rest since.
Old Master Samson was getting on with age and a ten-hour flight was tiring even for the ordinary person.
Serenity found the air around her turn stifling as if she had forgotten to breathe.
Instead of thinking something had gone sour in Selena and John’s relationship, Benjamin Rivers’s and Old Master Samson’s first thought was to blame Serenity.
What did she do wrong?
Was it because she had known John since she was young?
Or was she wrong because she was once in love with him?
Or was she born in the Rivers residence by mistake?
Finding her own thoughts ridiculously amusing, Serenity started to chuckle in a low and soft voice, like a bubble in an illusion. With clarity and purity in her eyes, she coolly said, “You’ve already come to such a conclusion without properly investigating. So why did you call me back at all?”
Old Master Samson glared at her. “They were fine before you came back. The moment you stepped foot in this country, they got divorced in less than half a year!”
“So what?” Even if she didn’t come back, Chris Grant would have still died and Grant Group would still go to John. His plans would have played out nicely and he would divorce Selena immediately.
Old Master Samson rubbed the dragon head pattern on his walking stick with his thumb. “It was you who interfered with their relationship and ruined their marriage.”
John and Selena entered the living room of the Rivers residence together – they had met on the way here.
By now, their divorce was official so he technically did not have to be here. But since Old Master Samson had personally called him over and Selena had told him that Serenity was called too, he eventually found himself walking through the Rivers residence’s main door.
Old Master Samson had never liked Serenity so it was obvious he would blame her for John’s divorce with Selena.
Despite what had happened so far, John still couldn’t bear to let Serenity bear the blame. He had let her suffer alone in the past and he refused to let that happen again. That was his motivation in coming to the Rivers residence.
Helena heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them.
But before she could tell them to head to the study upstairs, they heard something smash on the ground from the study. The sound was loud and filled with anger.
The trio in the living room looked upstairs at the same time, with John being the first to react as he silently headed to the second floor. Selena hurriedly followed him. After catching up with his pace, she said, “You must not provoke Grandpa again. Otherwise, Serenity will continue to suffer.”
As they walked up the last step, John coldly said, “She has and always will be deemed the black sheep in this family. No matter what she does, they won’t like her. I’ve had enough. Today’s the day 1 will take her away.”
Selena quickly blocked his path. Despite being of average height, she was wearing ten-centimeter high heels today so she was almost at his eye level. “Don’t forget that she’s not alone now. She has Gabriel..”
