NovelEnglishChapter 181: Everything Was Ruined
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity was dumbfounded as her small face scrunched up like a crumpled piece of paper. With a slightly aggrieved tone that was mixed with some regret, she said, “Unfortunately, the woman you brought ruined everything.”
Gabriel’s handsome eyes turned cold, his lips turning into a shallow arc. “Not everyone is blessed with such a good life.”
But Serenity was not angry. Instead, she chuckled softly and relaxedly said, “You might be right.”

Serenity walked out after she had settled the bill and noticed that Gabriel’s phone kept ringing. She looked at him suspiciously but his face maintained the same indifferent stone cold look he had on when he walked out earlier.
She hesitated for a moment before joining him. They loitered around near the restaurant for a while before heading back to the company.
In the next few days, Benjamin Rivers arranged a few more blind dates for Serenity and she had no right to say no since she was the one who had offended President Linde.
Not even John’s calls to President Linde could resolve the issue.
Unfortunately for Serenity, not all blind dates went smoothly. The minds and hearts of young aristocrats were frivolous after all. Serenity was halfway through a blind date when a pregnant woman barged into the restaurant and cried out at the man sitting across from Serenity, claiming him to be heartless.
On yet another blind date, the man started making sexual advances to her despite it being the first time they met. Serenity immediately picked up the glass of water in her hand and splashed it on his face. Then, she excused herself to the bathroom, using that as her chance to escape the nightmare.
When it was almost time to get off work, Benjamin Rivers called. Serenity almost jumped when she saw his name on the screen. Overcame with a sense of helplessness, she answered the call. “Dad.”
Benjamin’s dignified voice traveled into her ears through the receiver. “After work, 1’11 get Mr. Charlie to pick you up. You’re going to a dinner party with me.”
“Alright.” She had no reason to refuse. This was probably another ploy for him to introduce her to more young and ‘promising’ young men at the banquet.
Serenity walked out of the company after work as usual and immediately saw Benjamin Rivers’s car parked by the roadside. She opened the car door and got in. Surprisingly, Benjamin was also there.
They were driven straight to the hair salon. Serenity went in and came out half an hour later, looking like a completely different person – she looked noble and beautiful, carrying the gentle temperament inherited from Helena Turner.

At the same banquet, Gabriel was resting in a lounge while holding a glass of champagne as his cold gaze landed on Serenity.
He was not the only one who was looking. Many men’s gazes followed her, looking like they were on the hunt for a beauty to claim tonight.
After all, she was wearing a white openwork dress with a few straps crossed at the back, revealing her snow-white skin. The dress was decorated with sequins that sparkled under the lights. Every time she smiled, her red lips would part to reveal her pearl-white teeth. She looked like a beautiful flower.
In just a few minutes, several men stepped forward to greet Benjamin Rivers in an attempt to get to know her.
She maintained a quiet and gentle smile on her face, looking dazzling under the crystal chandelier. Staring too long at her might cause one to fall into a daze.
Benjamin was a smart person – when he saw that many people were trying to strike up a conversation with Serenity, he quietly left to make space for the young men and walked over to join his business partners..
