They had tried their best to interview him, but they kept facing his rejection and she had reached her limit.

...

At that moment, Zander had touched her sensitive spot. So, naturally, she would not care about his reputation and identity.

Her words made Zander’s face turn very sour and he coldly said, “Ms. Serenity, if it was not for your father, do you think I would be wasting time talking to you? 1 can just send you to the police station for the disruption of state business. In the end, you are just using your father’s reputation as well.”

Serenity had no change in expression and her face continued to have a smile, which seemed warm yet cold.

She parted her pink lips slightly and wanted to speak, but Sam realized the situation was getting out of hand and immediately pulled her shirt sleeves before apologizing to Zander, who had a furious look.

Zander did not give face to them and coldly scoffed before leaving with his secretary.

Serenity wanted to follow them, but John held her wrist back before glancing back at Alfred. Alfred understood his gaze and jogged to the parking lot to get the car.

Serenity shook his hand off and did not back down even if Sam was still there. She coldly said, “I don’t need you to be concerned about my matters!”

John placed both of his hands into his pockets. Behind him were the neon lights of the hotel, which were bright and colorful, accentuating his slender figure.

He furrowed his brows and warned, “You are the second daughter of the Rivers family. Every action and movement of yours reflects the Rivers family. If you are caught by the police, you will negatively influence the Rivers family and portray it in a bad light, and this will result in the value of the stock of Rivers Group to drop. You have to be cautious when doing things.”

Serenity said while not quite smiling, “How thoughtful of you to think of the Rivers family.”

Sam, who was clueless, could not distinguish the mockery lurking in the dark and reminded Serenity with a smile, “President Grant is your brother-in-law and is considered part of your family. Naturally, he will lean over to your family’s side.”

Serenity was already frustrated, and Sam’s words made her chest even more painful as she growled at him, “Shut up!”

Sam was startled by her shout and instinctively looked toward John, who had a complicated expression. He blinked his eyes at a loss and placed his two hands at his side before he muttered, “Was 1 wrong to say that?”

Alfred had driven the car over and John looked toward Serenity. “I will send you back.”

Serenity did not accept his kindness. “No need. I can take a cab.”

John fixed his gaze on her before he furrowed his brows slightly. He knew she had a stubborn personality and did not pursue the issue further before he nagged. “Come back home early.”

Serenity said nothing and tilted her head to look somewhere else.

John glanced at her and walked past her before he proceeded down the stairs. Alfred had already opened the car door for him and he sat in. Through the car window, he stared at the slender woman who stood on the stairs.

Sam finally realized something was wrong. After John left, he hesitated for a moment, but as he saw Serenity’s foul mood, he did not dare to ask about what was bewildering him.

As the car gradually disappeared from her sight, Serenity took a deep breath. She turned her head sideways and met Sam’s examining gaze. Hence she touched her cheeks. “Is there something on my face?”

Sam shook his head and hesitated momentarily before cautiously asking her, “You… don’t seem to like your brother-in-law, huh?”

She heaved a sigh. Dislike? It was because she loved him so much that she felt so terrible..
