Chapter 353: Embarrassing Her Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You...” Keith Jones was so angry that his face turned red. They were speaking in the presence of others but his son did not hold his tongue back at all.

Gabriel turned a blind eye to his anger and introduced the others to Serenity who greeted each of them politely.

Although this marriage had not yet been approved and the relatives had not given their explicit approval, it would be impolite if they did not smile and nod back after receiving Serenity’s greeting.

Since many people were present, only one chair was left vacant. Gabriel walked over with his arm around Serenity and sat her down before taking his seat on her armrest.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“| heard that Ms. Serenity graduated from the University of California, San Francisco. Is that true?” asked Gabriel’s aunt. Serenity smiled. “Yes, went to California after my sophomore year.”

Gabriel’s aunt, Madam Eaton, sarcastically said, “People who have been exposed to foreign culture should have good self- restraint. However, some got a marriage certificate without their parents’ consent. Isn’t this a little uncultured?”

Serenity maintained her smile and did not say anything. If she were to defend herself now, these people would probably say that she did not know how to respect her elders. To put it bluntly, these people were here to embarrass her today.

Gabriel placed his right hand on the back of the sofa behind Serenity, making it look like he was embracing her just like a newlywed couple.

“Culture?” There was a smile on his lips but it was so cold that it seemed to carry the mist of a winter morning. No one dared to make direct eye contact with him but they could feel the bone-chilling tone down their spine. “Compared to my dear aunt's upbringing back then, our upbringing is nothing.”

Gabriel’s words were like a merciless slap to her face as Madam Eaton gritted her teeth angrily while her face alternated between green and white.

Back then, Madam Eaton was so desperate to marry her husband that she did not hesitate to force him to break up with his lover at the time. She took advantage of his strong sense of duty toward his family and family business. Master Eaton’s girlfriend was pregnant at the time and Madam Eaton forced her to have an abortion. With such drastic measures taken, the whole issue almost blew up. Luckily for Madam Eaton, the Jones family stepped in and suppressed the issue.

The Eaton family business was now prospering only thanks to nepotism. With Gabriel currently being the head of the Jones family, she didn’t dare provoke him further regardless of seniority.

Soon, Madam Eaton found a way out for herself as she smiled and said, “Oh, Gabriel, | was just joking with Ms. Serenity. Look at how nervous you are. You must be afraid that she will be wronged.”

Gabriel did not comment on her last sentence. “The doctor said that pregnant women should be in a good mood to ensure the child is well. If she suffers any grievances, 1’11 have to coax her for a long time and you know that is not one of my strong suits. | hope you can understand why | have to stand up for my wife.”

Since Gabriel had spoken so calmly and rationally, Madam Eaton no longer had anything else to say.

Gabriel’s protectiveness over Serenity to the point where he did not hesitate to embarrass his elders made Linda’s heart grow even more jealous. It was as if her heart had been completely entwined with green vines carrying poison that spread quickly.

Gabriel’s hand moved to Serenity’s shoulder as his gaze casually arrived on Linda before looking away, unimpressed. “Why are there outsiders here on such a day?”

Being called an outsider caused Linda to lose all color on her face in an instant. Her face turned pale as her nails dug deep into her flesh.

Sulia noticed her strange expression and patted the back of her hand lightly. “Linda is Aunt Ruth's daughter which means she’s my goddaughter.”

Gabriel frowned slightly but did not say anything..
