    Mrs. Abbot''s eyes had a hint of shock as she sized her up with a curious and surprised gaze.


    Could it be that she was ignorant?


    She had not heard that the Rivers family had another daughter.


    Mrs. Cook’s arm gently nudged Mrs. Abbot before Mrs. Abbot realized that she had lost herposure. She drylyughed. “Ms.


    Serenity is really pretty. Are you still pursuing your education?”N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    Serenity’s skin was tender and fair while her face was exquisite and small with a pair of clear ck eyes. To those who did not


    know better, she really looked like a university student who had yet to step into society.


    Selenaughed. “Serene has already graduated. She has been overseas for the past few years and only came back half a


    month ago so you may not have seen her.”


    After hearing her words, Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Abbot understood, and their mouths were filled withpliments for Serenity.


    Serenity’s face kept on a smile, and waited for them to stop talking before she said, “Thankyou.”


    Selena was prepared to introduce her to others when a “swoosh” sound rang in the banquet hall. Before everyone could follow


    the sound and look—


    Aman wearing a suit walked into the hall. He had handsome features, and a hint of coldness was seen with his grace while the


    aloofness in his eyes made one unable to ignore him.


    His appearance seemed to have added a bit of color to the whole banquet as a person immediately walked forward and


    weed him.


    Although his face had a smile, his expression was indifferent. It was neither warm nor friendly.


    Benjamin walked over, and Serenity and Selena greeted him.


    Benjamin nodded his head and looked towards Serenity before raising his arm. “Come with me.”


    She was startled momentarily before realizing the meaning of his movements and linked arms with him.


    Benjamin brought her through the crowd and walked towards Gabriel Jones, who was chatting with others.


    Benjamin walked closer and smiled. “President Jones, it is our honor that you coulde.”


    “President Rivers, you are too modest.” Gabriel’s lips curled up into a faint smile before looking towards Serenity, who was


    linking arms with Benjamin. He said with a cheeky smile, “President Rivers, you have such a beautiful partner for Mr. Samson


    Rivers’ birthday banquet. Won''t Mrs. Rivers be angry?”


    Serenity had never thought that Gabriel would be able to joke.


    Benjaminughed. “This is my youngest daughter, Serenity.” After that, he introduced Gabriel to Serenity. “Serene, this is


    President Jones.”


    Since Gabriel pretended to not know her, she was not so dumb as to expose their rtionship as this was what she wished for


    too.


    She smiled. “President Jones.”


    Gabriel nodded his head slightly before another person greeted him, and Benjamin brought Serenity to another ce.


    Today, many young people from well-known families came, and Benjamin enthusiastically brought her to shuttle back and forth


    through the crowd.


    John lost focus as he talked with others while his gaze followed Serenity. He did not even listen carefully to what the person in


    front of him was talking about, and the twirling ss in his hand showed his frustration.


    After one round, Serenity’s smile stiffened. Benjamin seemed to have realized that she had lost interest and did not force her.


    She took the opportunity to head to the washroom as well.


    John saw her walking towards the washroom and excused himself from the person he was talking to. He put his wine ss on


    the tray when the waiter passed by him and retreated out of the banquet hall.


    Serenity walked out of the washroom and met John as she turned the corner.


    He leaned against the wall on one side while his other hand yed with a lighter. “Bam.” The lighter lit up and had a faint blue


    light..
