Chapter 156: Gabriel Jones, Don’t Touch Her
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Serenity drank a few more glasses of champagne, probably because she was in a bad mood, and was already a little tipsy by the end of the banquet.
Gabriel carried her out of the hotel as hurried footsteps came from behind them. John quickly caught up to them and blocked their way. “President Jones, Serene drank too much. Leave her to me. Selena and I will send her home.”
Gabriel looked at the woman in his arms whose cheeks were flushed red. She was not completely drunk and was still conscious. So when she heard John’s voice, her dark eyelashes fluttered as if she wanted to respond to John.
Knowing what she was probably thinking, Gabriel casually said, “I think the last person she wants to see is you.”
Selena heard this as soon as she approached them. She smiled and said, “President Jones, I’ll send Serene back-”
But before she could finish her sentence, Gabriel looked at her, almost with accusation in his eyes, as he said, “Or you.”
Selena was speechless.
Gabriel averted his eyes, half-hugged Serenity, and walked down the stairs. Caleb had already driven the car over and got out to open the door for him.
Right after helping Serenity into the car, Gabriel was about to get in when John warningly said to him from behind, “Gabriel Jones, don’t touch her.”
With his hand still on the car door, Gabriel turned around with a sharp and cold gaze on John. Smiling mockingly, Gabriel said, “President Grant, 1 think you drank too much.”
This was the first person who dared to openly challenge Gabriel.
Don’t touch her?
Hah, he already had.
Gabriel finally got into the car as Caleb closed the door right after him before jumping into the driver’s seat to drive away.
As he watched the car speed off, John’s hands clenched into fists while his eyes turned cold.
Selena looked at him and hesitantly said, “Don’t worry, Serene knows what she is doing.”
John’s anger had not subsided so he did his best to suppress it. His eyes started to turn a little depressed as he said, “But she’s attending a banquet with Gabriel Jones?” John was not his usual composed self to Selena – this was the first time she saw him lose control like this.
Soon, John quickly realized that he had lost his composure, so he immediately calmed himself and said, “I’m sorry, Selena.”
Selena smiled and gently said, “It’s okay. Let’s go.”
Serenity was not completely drunk, only slightly tipsy. After she got into the car, Gabriel lowered the car window, allowing a gust of wind to enter. She eventually sobered up.
She leaned on the car door and propped her head with one hand as she looked at the neon lights zooming past outside. The night wind blew her hair into a mess as her tears flowed uncontrollably.
Gabriel looked at her trembling shoulders with a dark and indifferent gaze. He reached into his pocket with his fingers and took out a pack of tissues. He opened it and took out a piece of tissue before handing it to her.
Serenity caught a glimpse of the finger from the corner of her eye. She turned around to look at him and smiled sarcastically, “When did President Jones learn to put on such a caring act?”
“Are all women this unreasonable when they’re angry?” Gabriel frowned.
Her smile grew wider but her eyes looked ready to spit fire. “You know very well why you brought me here today.”
Gabriel pursed his thin lips silently. He had indeed brought her here tonight to confirm the suspicions in his heart. As he had thought, her relationship with John was not simple.
“What can I do for you?” A cold smile appeared on his lips.. “Didn’t you insist on a more sincere thank-you gift? Why? Don’t you like my gift?”
