Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity’s black eyes were filled with stubbornness. “1 don’t think I did anything wrong.”
This was the first time she talked back to Benjamin Rivers who was slightly stunned. In his memory, this younger daughter had always been docile and obedient.
John was about the say something when Selena grabbed his arm. He looked at her and she shook her head at him

He pursed his lips and leaned back weakly.
Just then, the door to the private room opened. Everyone turned to see Calvin Gilbert walk in. He could clearly sense that the atmosphere was not harmonious.
He narrowed his eyes and looked around. His gaze fell on the helpless Serenity and his voice was as gentle as water. “Serene.”
Serenity heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him. If he had not come, she was not sure how else Benjamin Rivers would embarrass her in public.
Calvin’s gaze swept past President Fulton as he walked to Benjamin Rivers and extended a hand to him. “Hello, Mr. Rivers. My name is Calvin Gilbert. I’m Serene’s…” He paused for a moment before saying, “Boyfriend.”
His words were like a ticking time bomb, shocking everyone.
Other than Calvin Gilbert, only Serenity and John were the calmest.
Selena looked at John and noticed how calm he was. There was not even the slightest bit of surprise, let alone shock. He knew about this.
She had been wondering why John wasn’t panicking as much when he found out about the meeting tonight. It turned out that he had already arranged everything.
Mrs. Fulton was the first to react as she shrilly said, “If she has a boyfriend and still agrees to marry my son, is she planning to be a two-timing woman?”
The word ‘two-timing’ was a great insult to women. Putting aside the fact that Serenity was the woman in his best friend’s heart, she was also his girlfriend in name. How could he let others bully her?

Although he was talking to Serenity, he did not deliberately lower his voice. The private room was extremely quiet, so everyone heard what he said.
When the Fulton heard the last sentence, their expressions changed, all except President Fulton’s daughter who was young and did not understand the meaning of the words adults used. She looked at everyone with a blank expression, but when she saw that President Fulton’s expression was not good, she softly said, “Daddy.”
Calvin glanced at the ugly expressions on the Fulton family’s faces and looked away in satisfaction as he ran his fingers through Serenity’s hair affectionately.
Serenity’s body stiffened and she almost wanted to avoid it. But her shoulders sank under the weight of a hand and she immediately sat upright without moving.
Calvin and John had a good relationship, so Benjamin Rivers naturally knew him. “You and Serene…You two… Why didn’t I hear her say anything?”
“She wanted to wait until our relationship was stable before telling her family so that you wouldn’t worry.” Calvin’s answer was flawless and Benjamin did not say anything else.
Of course, he knew which one was more helpful to the Rivers family. The Gilbert and Fulton families were not on the same level.
Helena looked at Serenity and Calvin Gilbert, wanting to say something but didn’t in the end.
Calvin’s name and photo often appeared in the media so President Fulton recognized him. The latter stood up and said, “Hello, Mr. Gilbert..”
