Gabriel frowned when Serenity hesitated. He took out his phone and dialed a string of numbers. It was the landline in the living room.
The butler answered the call. “Young Master,” said he.
“Send a car to send Miss Sawyer back.”
Linda’s face turned pale as she bit her gorgeous red lips tightly and her eyes turned misty. Her right hand subconsciously tightened around the strap of her handbag.
Gabriel put his phone back into his pocket and looked at Linda. “The butler will get a car to send you back.”
Under Linda’s indignant gaze, he held Serenity’s hand and walked towards the car. The two got in, fastened their seatbelts, and drove away.
When she could no longer see Gabriel’s car, Linda was still standing stiffly, her gaze filled with hatred as she stared in the direction they had left.
Perhaps it was because she had been standing in the wind for too long but her face was frighteningly pale, making the hatred and resentment in her eyes look like demonic flowers in the dark.
Yesterday, when she was about to leave after the spa, she heard a woman on the phone in the corridor. When she walked past her, she heard her mention the Jones family. She deliberately slowed down and listened to the woman’s conversation. That was why she came to the Jones family in the name of missing her godmother, Sulia Silver.
It was only after she arrived at the Jones family home that she found out that the woman who had called in the corridor of the beauty salon yesterday was Gabriel’s aunt, Madam Eaton.
As she heard that Gabriel was bringing Serenity back to the Jones residence through Madam Eaton’s phone call, she deliberately did not drive when she came in the morning and took a taxi over.
She wanted to ride in their car when she left so that she could interact more with Gabriel. Perhaps he would suddenly fall in love with her.
Of course, even if that didn’t happen, she expected Gabriel to be a gentleman enough to still offer her a ride.
The worst he would do, in her expectations, was to reluctantly agree, put on a sour face, or ignore her the entire ride.
Never did she expect Gabriel to reject her so mercilessly.
Upon hearing Gabriel’s instructions, the butler put down the phone and walked out of the living room. When he saw Linda standing in the wind, he quickly approached her. “Miss Sawyer, please wait for a moment. I’ll arrange a car right away.”
She wanted to flare up when she heard the voice beside her ear. However, this was the Jones family’s house. She could not ruin her hard work today. So, she forced a smile. “Sorry to trouble you.”
The butler immediately called for the chauffeur to send Linda back. The chauffeur came back a little late, so the butler thought that something had happened on the way back. Linda was now Madam’s goddaughter, so he called the chauffeur over to ask.
The chauffeur told him that Linda did not go home immediately after leaving the Jones residence. Instead, he drove her to the mall. After leaving the mall, she went to the hospital to visit her friend before going to the club.
Her movement didn’t seem too suspicious and the butler felt that he would be prying too much into private matters if he enquired any further.
After Serenity and Gabriel left the Jones residence, they did not return to South Bay. Instead, they drove to Camdell Resort. When they arrived, it was already 5:10 p.m. The two of them checked into the resort’s leisure villa.
When the room manager brought Gabriel and Serenity to the VIP room, he said, “President Jones, call me if you need anything.” When Gabriel did not have any instructions, he said, “1 won’t disturb you guys any further..”
