Simon Finch’s kindness to Rosalie Quinn has always been evident to her eyes. These two have been together for so many years, and reaching today has not been easy at all. As a close friend, she naturally doesn’t want Rosalie to miss out on such a good man.
"Look who’s talking, aren’t you the same?" Rosalie Quinn playfully hit Seraphina Sinclair’s shoulder. "I hope you and President Fairchild will be fine, but if he dares to disappoint you, Jude Sinclair and I won’t let him off."
Upon hearing this, Jude Sinclair’s face was serious: "Auntie is right, Mommy, I will always be on your side."
"Good boy." Seraphina Sinclair was truly warmed by this, wrapping her arm around Rosalie Quinn’s shoulder with one hand and holding little Jude Sinclair with the other, feeling a wave of emotion.
Everyone chatted about the family matters for a while. Rosalie Quinn suddenly said, "Ethan Lloyd seems to have been lying low these days, and I wonder how the investigation by the tax board is going."
Seraphina Sinclair wasn’t in a hurry, but when she thought of Ethan Lloyd, her face turned cold: "No matter the result this time, the disappearance of the Lloyd Group from this world is just a matter of time."
Ethan Lloyd has no moral limit. Although the Lloyd Group hasn’t truly declined over the years, the couple has offended many people in the business world over the years. Especially now, given the Lloyd’s situation, no one would want to be involved in this mess.
"He’s brought this upon himself." Rosalie Quinn was full of disdain, recalling Ethan Lloyd’s past actions against Seraphina Sinclair, making her wish she could drink his blood and eat his flesh.
Seraphina Sinclair raised her eyebrows: "Let’s not talk about him. Since you and Simon Finch have reconciled and I’m back, let’s have a gathering tonight. It’s just right to introduce Desmond Fairchild to them."
"Are you sure?" Rosalie Quinn teased. "Already bringing your husband to meet the family?"
"It’s not like you haven’t met him before," Seraphina Sinclair replied helplessly.
"Alright, alright, I’ll arrange it." Rosalie Quinn laughed gleefully.
After Desmond Fairchild returned, he went straight to Cloudsea Group, and found that the company was still operating well despite his prolonged absence.
The urgency to return was not due to any important work, but because Quentin Jennings had mentioned Eric Holt earlier.
Eric Holt’s appearance didn’t surprise him. Originally, he thought he could ignore it, but didn’t expect the opponent’s actions to be quicker than he anticipated, forcing him to respond promptly.
As there was a dinner arranged for the night, Seraphina Sinclair took Jude Sinclair to the Fairchild Family shortly after returning home.
The happiest person knowing that Seraphina Sinclair returned was Old Mrs. Fairchild.
The past troubles between Anna and Desmond Fairchild were intense, pushing the couple to the brink of splitting. Their relationship’s development after this outing was the matter of Old Mrs. Fairchild’s greatest concern.
It is said that gossip is a woman’s nature, regardless of whether she is three or eighty years old, every woman has a heart for gossip.
Seeing Seraphina Sinclair, Old Mrs. Fairchild directly pulled her into the room and asked, smiling: "Seraphina, did you have fun on this trip? Did that brat, Desmond Fairchild, bully you? If he bullies you, you must tell Grandma, and I’ll stand up for you."
"Grandma, Desmond treats me very well," Seraphina Sinclair answered truthfully. "These past few days were very fun; we soaked in hot springs and went rock climbing."
"Really? You better not lie to Grandma." Hearing that the two got along well, Old Mrs. Fairchild was finally relieved.
Seraphina Sinclair held Old Mrs. Fairchild’s hand, playfully blinking: "Look at what you’re saying! Do I seem like someone who’d let myself be wronged? If Desmond dares to bully me, I’ll make him regret it before you even step in."
Old Mrs. Fairchild gave her a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Yes, that’s the spirit. Don’t spoil him. If he dares mistreat you, you just give him a hard time. If you can’t manage alone, Grandma will help you! The whole Fairchild Family will stand behind you."
"Thank you, Grandma." Seraphina Sinclair smiled sweetly, feeling quite cheerful looking at Old Mrs. Fairchild’s kindly face.
The two chatted for a while, and Seraphina Sinclair took out a set of pipes and handed it to Old Mrs. Fairchild. She introduced softly: "Grandma, I saw these pipes while walking around during our trip. Although they aren’t expensive, I found them quite special and thought of buying them for you. I’m not sure if you’ll like them."
"Oh dear, you thoughtful girl. How did you know I love collecting these interesting old items?" Old Mrs. Fairchild quickly received the pipes, caressing them lovingly.
"It’s wonderful as long as you like it, Grandma," Seraphina Sinclair grinned, her happiness reflected in Old Mrs. Fairchild’s delight.
Old Mrs. Fairchild couldn’t possibly be unhappy.
Over the years, many people have given gifts hoping to get close to the Fairchild Family, choosing the most expensive and finest antiques to present. However, she had never lacked money in this lifetime, and none of those valuable antiques had caught her interest.
Her greatest pleasure was collecting odd and unique items, and the price was of no consequence. As long as they were bizarre and distinctive, they were sure to be her favorites.
The pipe Seraphina Sinclair gifted was not an expensive item, but its unique appearance made it intriguing, and naturally, Old Mrs. Fairchild liked it.
This was enough to show Seraphina Sinclair’s sincerity.

"Seraphina, are you leaving already? Why not stay for dinner?" Seeing Seraphina Sinclair once was hard enough; Old Mrs. Fairchild was reluctant to let her leave.
"Grandma, I have an appointment tonight; I won’t disturb your peace." Seraphina Sinclair glanced at Aunt Lynch behind Old Mrs. Fairchild and shared a knowing smile, "Enjoy your evening gathering."
Old Mrs. Fairchild’s face reddened: "How did you know?"
She did indeed plan to host a senior gathering tonight, yet she was surprised at how Seraphina Sinclair knew.
Seraphina Sinclair simply smiled.
Jude Sinclair waved cheerfully to Old Mrs. Fairchild and said goodbye: "Great Grandma, I’ll come see you again in a few days."
"Alright, alright, my sweet grandson," Old Mrs. Fairchild wiped her eyes with reluctance.
After one last goodbye, the mother and son duo drove away.
Not long after they left, Irene Rowe’s call came through.
Seraphina Sinclair answered using her Bluetooth headset: "Irene."
"BOSS, there’s an issue at the company." Irene Rowe’s voice came through seriously.
"What happened?" Seraphina Sinclair’s heart skipped a beat, but remained calm.
"Our company’s database files were lost, including the detailed collaboration plans with Cloudsea Group and the next season’s product designs." Irene Rowe concisely outlined the current situation. "Austin White was here and already handled some emergency measures. We are conducting reverse tracking, and should have results soon."
Seraphina Sinclair, after hearing this, didn’t relax but instead appeared more solemn: "I understand, I’m heading to the company immediately."
