Chapter 175 - 175:I Don’t Have That Much Time



Serenity returned home. Before she stepped into the living room, she heard Benjamin Rivers’s furious voice. Although she did not know what was going on, the rage was undeniable.

She hesitated for a moment and prepared to sit on the steps of the garden, thinking of returning to her room later so that she would not be implicated. But as soon as she turned around, a maid came out of nowhere and said, “Miss Serenity, you’re back.”

The voices in the living room stopped abruptly, followed by another roar. “Serenity, come in!”

She could not help but shiver. In the past, no matter how much Benjamin Rivers did not like her, he had at least only been lukewarm towards her and never lost his temper. It wasn’t hard to tell that he was furious right now.

She entered the living room and slowly changed into her bedroom shoes at the entrance. She walked towards Benjamin Rivers and saw Helena Turner sitting on the sofa, looking at her worriedly.

“Did you hurt President Linde?” asked Benjamin Rivers furiously.

She wanted to explain that she was trying to convince Hufford Bank to give them a loan for Rivers Group’s new project. But when she met his angry gaze, her words got stuck in her throat and she could not say anything.

Unfortunately, her silence gave her away as Benjamin Rivers exasperatedly said, “All my plans and hopes have been ruined. If Rivers Group cannot overcome this difficulty this time, don’t even think about being the Miss Serenity of the Rivers family anymore.”

If President Linde’s assistant hadn’t called, he wouldn’t have known about this.

The assistant had told him stiffly that there was no longer room for negotiation regarding the loan.

If it wasn’t for the last bit of respect President Linde had for Benjamin Rivers, he would have charged Serenity with intentional assault.

Of course, Benjamin Rivers did not know what truly happened at the police station after the incident. He also did not know that President Linde was now afraid of Gabriel and Serenity thanks to the appearance of the two famous lawyers.

Helena Turner’s heart ached for her daughter. “Benjamin, Serene definitely didn’t do it on purpose. Why don’t you ask President Linde out for a meal tomorrow and bring Serene along so that she can properly apologize to him? Maybe the matter of the loan can be settled then too.”

If it was a reasonable person, such a proposition would have worked. But this was President Linde they were talking about, a person who changed his mind as often as the wind changed directions. Now that the Rivers family was in such a dire state, no amount of apology or kowtowing could save them.

With a straight face, Benjamin said, “There is no guarantee a direct apology will work, regardless of who goes to President Linde.”

Serenity pursed her lips in silence as Helena Turner turned to give her a look. Serenity nodded knowingly and left for her bedroom.

She hadn’t eaten for almost the entire day, so she was starving. However, given the situation in the living room downstairs, she didn’t want to go down to find something to eat even if she was hungry.

She went into the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, she unintentionally glanced at the phone on the table. She picked it up and flipped through the phone book. After hesitating for a moment, she dialed the number. “What’s the matter?” The man’s deep and cold voice carried an elegant sexiness that penetrated through time and space.

She held her phone tightly and thought for a moment. “President Jones, I want to ask you for a favor.”

Gabriel stood tall and straight in front of the window of his study room. Under the soft and bright light, his well-defined facial features were firm and stern while his deep and dark eyes looked mysterious.

He looked at the scattered lights outside the window. “i don’t have that much free time.”

Before she could say anything, she heard his rejection. She immediately felt uncomfortable but didn’t give up just yet. “It’s just a small favor. You just need to make a phone call.”

Gabriel narrowed his cold eyes at the night view outside the window. Then, he curled his lips into a cold smile.. “You want me to call President Linde and be the guarantor of the Rivers Group loan?”
