    Before dinner, Gabriel was called into the study room upstairs by Keith Jones. The men from the coteral branch were ying chess in the room while the women chatted in the living room.


    Today’s main character was Serenity, so the topic of conversation always revolved around her. No matter what others asked, she would answer them readily in a dignified manner.


    Without Gabriel around, Madam Eaton regained the courage to provoke Serenity but thetter always managed to either change or avoid the topic.


    Madam Eaton had been feeling stifled and anxious since Gabriel put her in her ce. Still dissatisfied, Madam Eaton wanted to vent her anger on Serenity and regain some face.


    Sarcastically, Madam Eaton said, “Ms. Serenity, Gabriel may be a steady person, but we have also heard that he had indulged himself in thepany of multiple women in the past. You have to watch him. Don’t let him mess around outside after your honeymoon period.”


    Madam Eaton was subtly hinting that Serenity might just as well be a thing of the past once Gabriel got tired of her after a few months.


    But Serenity felt that there was no need for her to give in to this kind of woman who wanted an inch and a mile. She was not a pushover and was not easy to bully. Moreover, Serenity knew that she had Gabriel to back her up.


    Maintaining a smile on her face, Serenity said, “Madam Eaton, you said it yourself. That was before. Which man doesn’t have one or two women before marriage? Madam Eaton, I’m sure it was the same with Master Eaton as well, wouldn’t you say so?”


    Madam Eaton’s face stiffened. Serenity had once again probed her pain point. That woman from her husband’s past had always been a thorn in her heart. It was because of her that even after she married into the Eaton family, her husband still did not like her.


    For Serenity, she had just gone along with the flow of the conversation in rebuking Madam Eaton. Judging by the change in expression on thetter’s face, Serenity must have unintentionally hit the nail on the head.


    Gabriel’s other aunt, Madam Barlowe, changed the topic. “It’s so boring sitting here. Why don’t we go y a card game?”


    “Alright.” Sulia got up and led everyone to the game room, which was next door to the chessboard room.


    Sulia, Madam Barlowe, and Madam Eaton sat down. For thest spot at the table, Madam Barlowe looked at Serenity and said, “Ms. Serenity,e sit down and y a few rounds with us.”


    Serenity’s card skills were average. On the other hand, most wealthydies spent their time ying cards, embroidering, or arranging flowers so Serenity had an inkling that these women’s card skills should not be underestimated. Unwilling to fall into their trap, Serenity said, “I believe Miss Sawyer would be a better fit for the table.”


    Linda pulled a chair to sit next to Sulia Silver. “You should y. I’ll watch my godmother y instead.”


    Helpless, Serenity could only bite the bullet and y. Half-jokingly, she said, “My card skills are just average so please be understanding.”


    Madam Barlowe smiled. “Don’t worry about it. We’re family after all. Besides, this is just a game…”


    Sulia coughed at the mention of the word ‘family’. Madam Barlowe smiled and proceeded to distribute the cards.


    In the study next door, Gabriel and Keith stood facing each other. “Do you still see me as your father?” asked Keith seriously.


    Gabriel leaned against the bookshelf and nonchntly said, “If you approve of her as your daughter-inw, the Jones family will have two more people to add to the family tree. If you don’t, I’ll just keep them away from the main residence. Besides, I rarely return here anyway so the chances of you bumping into them were never high in the first ce.”


    “Are you threatening me?” Keith’s face turned ashen..
