Chapter 2017


    The crowd was buzzing with disbelief and shock.


    [Serena, of all people, still has suitors? Is her allure really that irresistible?]


    [Who the heck is Martin? Never heard of this guy before.]


    [Does anyone have the scoop? I''m drawing a nk here.]


    [Good heavens, you don''t know about the Coopers? The Cooper family owns department stores all


    over the world, with over six thousand locations and a workforce of over two hundred thousand. Martin


    leveraged his family''s resources to start his own logisticspany. Justst year, he sessfully


    raised funds, acquired a fleet of fifty cargo nes, and secured exclusive air routes. His business


    reaches every corner of the country, setting the pace in the industry, and it''s seriously outperforming


    thepetition. That delivery service you all love when you shop online? Yeah, that''s his baby!]

    get revenge on behalf of his girlfriend by tampering with the award-winning car. That''s just terrifying!]


    Meanwhile, Florence was fuming as she scrolled through the onlinement, especially the


    cringeworthy video of Serena hugging a tree during her confession of love.


    She was about to call her son when, the next second, he called her.


    "Mom, I need to talk to you." Martin didn''t wait for her to speak, "I want to get engaged to Serena as


    soon as possible. I want to give her a home, and I hope you and Dad can bless this."


    "Mom, the past is the past. Serena said she''ll change. Let''s give her a chance." Martin''s plea was cut


    off.


    "Not a chance! The Cooper family will never wee someone like her. I''ve told you, if you dare marry
