Chapter 219: She Refused to Apologize

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mrs. Fulton was speaking the truth, but her tone was aggressive and arrogant. And there were some people in the room who just couldn’t stand Serenity being bullied.

The man’s clear voice rang out diagonally across from her. “Mrs. Fulton, although the Rivers residence is in dire straits, there is still the Grant family. Serene hasn’t even married into the Fulton family and you are already putting on airs as a mother-in-law. If she marries into the Fulton family, wouldn’t she be crying and running to her mother’s house every day?”

Mrs. Fulton was speechless. Her words just now had belittled the Rivers family, but she had forgotten that there were still people from the Grant family present. The Fultons were still a far cry from the Grant family.

Of course, Benjamin could also hear the sarcasm in Mrs. Fulton’s words so he wasn’t looking too good at the moment either.

“Since the Grant family is so capable, why don’t you invest more in the Rivers family? Why do the Rivers have to marry off their second daughter for the Fultons to share the burden?” asked Mrs. Fulton.

John’s expression gradually darkened as he looked at Mrs. Fulton with a stern gaze. The latter was immediately shut up.

There was more than 500 million in his personal account. However, when he thought about how Serenity had been disliked by the Rivers since she was young and how she had to be at the mercy of Master Samson and Benjamin Rivers, he did not want to give the money to the Rivers.

She might be a River, but he also knew that she would have remained in Willow Town if she was given the choice instead of returning to her life as Serenity Rivers in Andalas.

And now, Benjamin wanted to marry her off to a divorced man for the sake of his own interests.

It was as if he was still holding a grudge in his heart. How John wished he could register a shell company and destroy Rivers Group.

Helena was probably the remaining ray of hope and warmth for Serenity in that household. Without her, the Rivers residence would probably be sad. Therefore, he was only willing to pay half of the money and let the family hang on half-dead.

The matter of injecting funds into the Rivers family had already been discussed in advance. Both sons-in-law would pay half of the money. However, Serenity did not know about this. Now that she heard Mrs. Fulton say this, she finally knew the full picture.

She slowly put down her cutlery and wiped her mouth with a napkin. She was as calm as if the flames of war had never happened. “So, Mrs. Fulton is not satisfied with me, right?”

Although Mrs. Fulton was afraid of the Grant family, she was not afraid of the Rivers. Hence, when she spoke to Serenity, she was not polite at all. “Yes, I’m not satisfied with you as my daughter-in-law, and my granddaughter doesn’t like you either.”

Serenity was wearing a beige knitted coat today, which made her fair cheeks look as shiny as jade under her calm eyes.

She turned to look at President Fulton. “President Fulton, do you also think that the Rivers family is trying to climb up the social ladder with our current situation?”

“It’s not what I think, it’s the truth!” Mrs. Fulton was desperate to emphasize her point.

President Fulton deliberated over his words before saying, “I hope to marry a virtuous wife who can take good care of my daughter, but Miss Serenity doesn’t seem to like her.”

The meaning behind his words couldn’t be clearer. Serenity nodded and was about to call it a night when Benjamin Rivers slammed the table with a loud bang. It scared President Fulton’s daughter so much that she shivered and hid in her father’s arms.

His slap was not weak so the cutlery beside his hand fell off the table.

Everyone looked at Benjamin Rivers. “Serenity, apologize to Mrs. Fulton and President Fulton.”

Serenity suddenly felt like she had nothing left to live for. They had clearly said that the Rivers family was sucking up to them, yet Benjamin Rivers wanted her to apologize to those people?

He must truly be crazy about money!

Benjamin might be willing to humiliate himself before others, but Serenity was unwilling to let go of her dignity and pride..
