Chapter 420: Who Allowed You to Touch My Phone?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She had used the word ‘in’ instead of ‘went’. Just the choice of one word over the other was enough to cause a misunderstanding.

Gabriel left South Bay to be in the same room as another woman? And now he was in the bathroom?

Serenity took a deep breath and hung up the phone.

Linda removed the phone from her ear. She had clearly heard Serenity’s rapid breathing when she hung up and Linda’s lips curled up into a strange smile.

The door to the private room opened before she could put the phone back.

When Gabriel returned to the private room, everyone had already left except Linda. He saw her holding his phone and his expression turned cold.

“Linda, who allowed you to touch my phone?”

Linda was shocked by his malicious gaze, but she forced herself to calm down and handed the phone back to him.

“Your phone kept ringing so I thought I could help and picked it up. It was from Serenity but don’t worry, she won’t misunderstand. I’m her friend after all. Besides I had told her that you went to the bathroom.”

Gabriel opened his call history and saw a missed call before a call that lasted for 16 seconds. Both were from Serenity.

When he and Serenity were simply bed partners, he had saved her full name.

When he heard John call her ‘Serene’, he followed suit and changed the name in his phone to Serene.

He put away his phone and went to get his coat. Then, he glared at Linda with a cold expression and turned to leave.

Linda pretended to reach out to him as if to explain herself and clear the misunderstanding. But in truth, she was simply taking the opportunity to spill the contents of her bag.

A photo fell at Gabriel’s feet and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Gabriel looked at the photo at his feet and froze. He bent down to pick it up and remained silent for a long time.

Linda noticed his gloomy expression and tense jaw as he looked at the photo. She knew that she had achieved the effect she wanted, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smug smile.

The next second, she immediately pretended to be in a panic and picked up the fallen items including the photos before stuffing them back into her bag.

“President Jones, this is a misunderstanding. It’s not what it looks like. President Grant is just Serene’s brother-in-law.”

Gabriel was still looking at the photo in his hand, the one of John kissing Serenity’s eyes through the back of his hand.

He pursed his lips and spread his other hand.

Linda pretended to hesitate for a moment before taking out the remaining photos from her bag and placing them in his palm.

“President Jones, you have to believe in Serene.”

Some time ago, she sent photos of Serenity and John to the magazine agency, wanting to expose their ‘affair’.

However, it was suppressed in the end. And no matter how she investigated, she could not find out who had interfered in this matter.

She thought it was John. In Andalas, other than Gabriel, only John was capable of such things.

If she wanted Gabriel to know about this, she would have to send the photos to him directly.

However, doing so would make him suspicious, so when she came to this dinner today, she had thought of this method.

Linda initially thought the opportunity was gone since Gabriel had not shown up and she started to wonder how long she would have to wait. Little did she expect that he would show up belatedly..
