“Serene, | heard that you are working for a magazine agency?”

In contrast to her outfit, Serenity wore a plain pair of ear studs.

Thus, Selena took it down and replaced it with a pair of royal blue crystal earrings from the makeup box.

She looked at her unfamiliar appearance in the mirror and was startled. “Anyways, | will be bored staying at home.”

She had never styled herself up so properly with a high-end custom-made dress, exquisite necklace, and costly earrings. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she had the realization that she was the young missy of the Rivers family.

“Then you should have entered our own company.” Selena did not agree with her working in the magazine agency. “You will suffer grievances during work. In our own company, with me and Dad around, nobody will dare to bully you.”

Although Selena married John, she did not work in Grant Group with him. Instead, she remained in the Rivers family’s company and was the manager of the design department.

It was heard that her workplace ability was very strong. Serenity gave a gentle smile and changed the topic. “Sis, how have you been these few years?”

Selena was retouching her makeup, and when she heard those words, her hand that was holding the powder puff paused in its movements while her eyes darkened. But it was only for an instant.

Serenity was putting on her bracelet and did not see it. Selena placed the powder puff back into the box and smiled. “Other than being a little busy at work, everything else is fine.”

Helena pushed the door open and glanced at Serenity, who was properly dressed. She had a satisfactory smile, yet when she thought about the purpose that Benjamin had sent her here for, she hesitated for a moment.

Serenity realized she had stopped talking and asked, “Mom, do you have something to tell me?”

Selena did not know why, but she thought that Helena seemed hesitant to speak because she was there. Hence, despite the unhappiness in her heart, she still sensibly put down the mirror in her hands.

“Serene, accompany Mom and take a break. | will head down and take a look.”

Helena called her back. “Selena, you don’t have to go.”

Hearing that, Selena came back and looked at Helena before looking at Serenity with a look of curiosity. Serenity, who was even more curious than she was, said, “Mom, speak your mind.”

Helena went silent for a while as she held her hand. “Serene, today, your dad will introduce a few young and handsome men to you. Although your job may not be in the same industry as them, you can still make a few friends.”

Her words were very obscure, yet how could she not understand it? Benjamin wanted to stop her desires, to prevent her from having any fantasies about her brother-in-law.

On the other hand, most reputable families had joint marriages. This would find her a suitable match as well.

If Benjamin found a suitable match for her today, he might make them date and sacrifice her for a political marriage. She should not have come back.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

If it were not for Helena personally calling her, she would have suspected that it was all planned for the joint marriage. But she was still not worried about Helena.

Outside the door, John had one hand stuffed in his pocket and the hand, which was supposed to knock on the door, paused in the air. His smile slowly vanished, and he pursed his lips tightly.

After a while, his lips curled into a faint smile and he raised his hand to knock on the door. Inside the room, Selena replied with “enter,” and he pushed the door before entering.

“Almost all the guests have arrived. We can go down now.” He calmly glanced at Serenity. She was very beautiful today, but her expression did not look well.

“We should head down.” Helena looked at Serenity and softly sighed. “Let’s go..”
