Chapter 358 - 358: Go Back the Way You Came
Since she was the one who instigated the topic earlier, Madam Eaton shrank into her seat when she noticed how angry he was. Madam Barlowe was sitting beside her and so Madam Eaton wanted to use the former to block Gabriel’s line of sight.
“Aunty,” said Gabriel coldly as he looked at Madam Eaton.
Madam Eaton had a bad feeling when he suddenly called her. Her uneasy heart pounded as she stuttered, “1… I just…”
Gabriel no longer spared her another glance as he took Serenity’s bag from the butler’s hands. His cold and thin lips unhurriedly spat out a sentence. “Don’t come to the Jones residence if there’s nothing important in the future.”
Madam Eaton felt as if she had been struck by lightning as her eyes widened in fear. “Gabriel, I’m your aunt. You can’t do this…”
Gabriel turned a deaf ear to her words and walked out of the living room. Serenity looked embarrassed as she said to everyone, “Dad, Mom, everyone, we’ll be leaving first.” After saying that, she quickly followed.
In the past, no matter what Madam Eaton was like, Gabriel had never said such ruthless words. Therefore, even Sulia Silver was so shocked that she did not come back to her senses for a long time. When she finally reacted, she heard Madam Eaton’s sobbing voice.
“Sis, Brother-in-law, look at Gabriel. Now that he has a wife, he doesn’t even acknowledge me as his aunt anymore.”
However Madam Eaton’s concern was mainly in fear of the Jones family cutting ties with the Eaton family. Then, the Eaton family business would be affected.
Keith’s face darkened. He knew very well what kind of person Madam Eaton was. She was always stirring up trouble for no reason and felt that it was the Jones family’s misfortune to have such a relative so he did not have any sympathy for her. He just kept a straight face and remained silent.
The Jones family had strict rules passed down from their ancestors. Regardless of seniority, they had to listen to the head of the family. Therefore, Sulia Silver was at a loss and could simply say, “I’ll talk to Gabriel later. Maybe he’ll forget about this when he’s not angry anymore.”
Madam Eaton sobbed for a while before sitting down next to her husband. She sobbed as she said, “Kevin…”
Kevin Eaton suppressed his anger and looked coldly at his wife, who was incapable of doing anything.
Back then, he had married her because he was forced by the family and also because he wanted to get close to the Jones family. Now, it was good that they had to come to the Jones family less in the future. He was so angry that his lungs hurt.
Serenity and Gabriel had not walked far out of the living room when Linda chased after them.
The two stopped in their tracks and Serenity turned around to look at her. Linda was wearing a cream-white cloak and a pink A-line dress while holding a Chanel bag in her hand.
“Hey!” Linda hurriedly chased after them, panting slightly. “Serene, are you guys going back? Give me a ride.”
Serenity’s clear and pure eyes looked at Linda unmovingly. “You didn’t drive?”
“No,” said Linda calmly.
Serenity looked up at Gabriel and asked for his opinion.
Gabriel’s gaze lingered emotionlessly on Linda for a second before he indifferently said, “You should go home using the same way you came.”
Linda’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly concealed it. She knew she could not convince Gabriel so she tried to gain Serenity’s sympathy.
She bit her gorgeous red lips trying to look pitiful. “Serene, it’s not easy to get a taxi here. Can’t you give me a ride? Just drop me off where I can get a taxi.”
She was telling the truth. It was indeed not easy to hail a taxi in this place. Serenity’s heart softened for a moment..
