Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the banquet ended, Benjamin Rivers asked her about what she thought about those she had met at the banquet as they made their way back. She leaned back in her chair tiredly and gave him a vague answer.

Benjamin’s tone turned cold as he frowned. “If you continue to be so perfunctory, then I’ll make arrangements for you. President Fulton seemed quite promising.”

Serenity’s eyes suddenly opened and she turned to look at him with eyes filled with disbelief and shock. Her face was pale by this time.

President Fulton was thirty-five years old, a divorcee, and had a seven-year-old daughter.

Seeing the rejection in her eyes, Benjamin Rivers coldly said, “President Fulton said that if you marry him, he will give you 5% of the Fulton Group shares to show his sincerity.”

It was clearly midsummer, but Serenity felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar as she felt a chill down her spine.

The next day after work, Serenity returned home on time as usual. When she saw an unfamiliar car parked outside the courtyard, she started to grow suspicious. Were they expecting guests today?

When she stepped into the living room, she immediately knew something was not right. Benjamin Rivers and Helena Turner were present while the single-seater sofa in the living room was occupied by an unfamiliar man – President Fulton.

Her face turned pale and she clenched her fists. She did not expect Benjamin Rivers to move so quickly.

“Serene, come here.” Benjamin had always been cold to her. But today, at this moment, he decided to be warm and gentle to her. After all, President Fulton was present.

Serenity changed into her bedroom slippers, walked over, and greeted their guest with a smile. “President Fulton.”

The man had a relatively ordinary appearance, the kind that could easily blend in with the crowd. Fortunately, he was not the kind with a big belly or Serenity didn’t think her heart would be able to take it any longer.

President Fulton smiled lightly and the corners of his eyes wrinkled slightly. “Miss Serenity, we meet again.”

Serenity was silent for a moment, then she said, “Dad, Mom, I’ll go upstairs first.”

Benjamin looked at her indifferently and said, “Sit down. President Fulton came over for you today.”

And so, Serenity sat down beside Helena Turner but did not hear a single word of what they said after. Her mind could not help but recall what Gabriel had said at work today.

Earlier this afternoon, she received a call from the president’s office. Gabriel had asked for a cup of coffee so she brought the brewed coffee to him and placed it on the table. “President Jones, your coffee.”

Gabriel looked up from his computer with his cold and indifferent gaze. “Have you thought about what I said yesterday?”

She was stunned for a moment before she understood what he was referring to. A peaceful smile hung on her face. “President Jones, did we talk about anything yesterday?”

Gabriel coldly said, “Fine.”

His single-worded answer crashed into her heart, but what else did she expect when her response was equally cold-hearted?

“Serene? Serene?” Helena Turner had called her daughter’s name several times before the latter finally came back to her senses.

Benjamin Rivers’s face darkened when he saw how absent-minded his daughter was. However, he could not lose his temper because President Fulton was present. He asked, “Are you too tired from work?”

Serenity remained calm as she said, “A little.”

“Then go back to your room and rest,” said Benjamin expressionlessly.

Without wasting any more time, Serenity nodded and walked towards the stairs. The moment she walked into her room and closed the door, she could no longer maintain the fake smile and her face started to look expressionlessly cold..
