Chapter 343: Is She Unavailable to Pick Up His Call?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Helena took a glance and then looked toward the study upstairs. Serenity’s phone kept ringing so Helena adjusted her shawl and told Mrs. Walter to answer it. “Maybe it’s an important call.”
Mrs. Walter took out the phone from Serenity’s handbag and saw Gabriel’s name displayed on the screen. Pleasantly surprised, she said, “Madam, it’s Second Young Master.”
“Hurry up and answer it, then,” said Helena with slight urgency in her voice.
She was usually gentle to the servants but she was especially agitated today. Mrs. Walter stammered as she said, “Oh… Alright…”
Just as she was about to pick up the call, Serenity’s phone suddenly stopped ringing and the living room returned to silence.
On the other end of the line, Gabriel waited for a long time for someone to pick up but nobody did. Gabriel looked at the darkened screen, feeling extremely stifled in his chest.
Was she unavailable to pick up his call?
Or did she not want to answer his call in front of that person?
There were three or four cigarette butts on the ground outside the car window, by now with a thin layer of ashes fell on them. He flicked the half cigarette in his hand out of the window and started the engine, intending to go to Golden Sands.
Just as the car drove out of the villa, his phone rang. He looked at the name on it with a deep gaze.
After about twenty seconds, he swiped open the phone screen and answered the call.
Since it had been so hard to get in touch with him, Mrs. Walter wasted no time to say, “Second Young Master, you finally picked up the call. Please hurry over to the Rivers residence. Old Master Samson is very angry at Miss Serenity.”
Gabriel knew a little about Serenity’s situation in the Rivers family. So, after hearing Mrs. Walter’s words, he hung up the phone and headed over as soon as possible.
In the study room, Old Master Samson was still glaring at Serenity. “Selena is your sister. How could you break up her family? How could you do such a thing?”
The grip in Serenity’s fists tightened as she said, “I’m already married. My husband and I have a very good relationship. You’re an elder, so 1 respect you. But please don’t question and insult my character.”
She had always been obedient but her response was the complete opposite now. He picked up his walking stick and hit her.
She used her arm to block the attack and groaned in pain, frowning when the stick made contact with her limb.
The door to the study room suddenly opened as John and Selena rushed in. The latter was stunned at the sight of the mess in the room.
John looked at Serenity and noticed how pale her face was. He shot a glare at Old Master Samson. “Grandpa, my divorce with Selena has nothing to do with her. You should have been more reasonable and not hit her. It’s very disappointing to have an elder like you.”
John had always done his best to respect Old Master Samson, willingly calling him Grandpa as well.
But to the elderly man in the room, John’s interference only made things worse. First, there was Serenity’s disobedience. Then, there was John’s rebuttal. Old Master Samson was burning with anger. “John!”
Selena was expecting things to escalate in this way so she quickly approached the old man and said, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. Let’s talk things out.”
Old Master Samson’s chest was heaving up and down violently, his face still filled with anger. But since Selena was here, his tone turned much gentler. “Selena, tell Grandpa about your grievances. Grandpa will help you..”
