Selena looked at the calendar on her desk and her fingers swiped across the numbers on it. Today’s date was circled, marked because she had a business banquet to attend.

“Let’s have dinner together after work tomorrow,” said she after a while.

Lunch break was coming to an end and it was time to go to work. Francesca passed a document to Serenity and asked her to send it to the president’s office. Serenity happened to have something to ask him, so she took the document and went to the office. She raised her hand to knock on the door.

When the man’s deep voice allowed her entry, Serenity pushed the door open and entered. The man had just come out of the lounge next door and had not officially entered work.

Serenity placed the documents on his desk, turned around, and looked at Gabriel who was fixing his tie. “The day after we registered our marriage, did you invest two hundred million in Rivers Group?”

“Mmhmm.” Gabriel remained calm.

Although she already knew about this, her pupils still couldn’t help but shrink when she heard him admit it.

Gabriel walked up to her. Under her dark gaze, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.

“Don’t you feel that it’s a loss?” A betrothal gift of 200 million was equivalent to the development of a new project. She was too valuable.

Gabriel caressed her delicate little face and meaningfully said, “Buy one, get one free. It’s not a loss.”

Serenity wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. “If you have money and nowhere to spend it in the future, don’t do such a loss-making business again. Use it to crush me to death instead.”

“My entire body is yours.” Gabriel’s eyes had a hint of mischievousness. “Why don’t 1 crush you to death now?”

The cold and aloof man was not ambiguous when he said those explicit words. Panicked by his teases, Serenity fled in panic.

Gabriel’s lips curled into a faint smile when he saw how embarrassed she was, yet she still had to maintain her elegant posture.

After Serenity left, he sat back at his desk and started working.

After dinner, Gabriel went to the study room while Serenity went back to her room to take a shower. She came out of the bathroom and received a call from Benjamin Rivers. “Is President Jones beside you?”

Serenity thought that he was looking for Gabriel so she said, “He’s in the study room. If you’re looking for him, I’ll pass the phone over.”

Benjamin’s calm tone suddenly changed to a sharp tone filled with anger. “Does Selena and John’s divorce have anything to do with you?”

Serenity was disappointed. They were his daughters, but Benjamin Rivers had given Selena all his fatherly love while he remained lukewarm towards Serenity. Now, he was even suspecting her of ruining the marriage of his other daughter.

She did not know the real reason for their divorce, but how could Benjamin Rivers conclude that it had something to do with her?

Sometimes, she wondered if Benjamin Rivers had spent all his fatherly love on Selena to the point where Serenity was an indifferent dispensable.

“If you did ruin their relationship… 1 shouldn’t have let you return to Cador,” said Benjamin coldly.

Serenity stood in front of the window sill and smiled lightly. The curve of her lips carried a deep sense of sarcasm. “Then wouldn’t you be unable to get Gabriel and his money to float your company? You wouldn’t be able to get that two hundred million yuan of funds and you wouldn’t be able to get those big contracts.”

Benjamin did not expect her to know about this. Gabriel wouldn’t have told her because he was the one who told Benjamin so. “President Rivers, it’s best if Serene doesn’t know about this. I don’t want her to think too much about it..”
