CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 88: MADE HER OWN

The phone was snatched, and Serena Sullivan didn’t reach out to take it back.

For things she was unsure she could accomplish, she never forced it.

Since Zoe Quinn wanted to take her out to attend the banquet, it was fine; sooner or later she had to enter The Sullivan Corporation and get acquainted with everyone.

At the hotel, many reporters gathered at the entrance of the banquet hall, having received news that Ethan Grant’s newlywed wife—Serena Sullivan—would be attending The Sullivan Family banquet.

Trailing behind Serena Sullivan, Zoe Quinn saw so many reporters crowding over and curled her lips into a full smile.

With her legs crippled and isolated from the outside world for four years, she didn’t believe Serena wouldn’t panic, and all this was just the beginning.

Indeed, seeing so many reporters coming over, Serena’s hand stiffened slightly on her leg, but she quickly composed herself, smiling in the face of the cameras.

"Mrs. Grant, why didn’t Mr. Grant accompany you?"

Because of Ethan Grant, the reporters took photos but didn’t ask any embarrassing questions.

"He’s on a business trip."

Serena responded naturally, and after she finished, other reporters followed up with questions about Ethan Grant. As the name "Mrs. Grant" rolled off their tongues one after another, Zoe’s smile froze, and her nails dug fiercely into her palm.

Under the cameras, Serena was graceful and composed, even though her crippled legs were photographed clearly by the reporters. And even as the guests quietly discussed her situation upon entering the banquet hall, she maintained the appropriate smile.

The rumors about Serena were instantly suppressed at this moment.

After tonight, when the people of Solaria mentioned Serena, they would think of her not as useless but as strong, graceful, and sympathetic.

While Serena was smilingly answering reporters’ questions, she didn’t notice someone standing in the crowd, staring at her.

He held a glass of wine, sipping slowly; even the crippled Serena truly made one want to ruin her completely, want to possess her.

"Serena!"

Just as Serena was speaking with the guests, Claire Sullivan walked over with Joel Quinn, arm in arm, smiling broadly.

"Mom!"

Zoe cheerfully crossed over Serena, hastening to Claire Sullivan and Joel, "Look, I brought my sister here."

What invitation? It was Zoe who forcibly brought her here.

"Hmm."

Claire smiled, but upon meeting Serena’s smiling face, she remembered the purpose of bringing her and felt inexplicably flustered, turning away, not daring to look at Serena.

"Serena, you’ve become more and more beautiful."

Joel praised, his still fairly handsome face was all smiles.

Young and good-looking, after Claire’s grooming, he now exuded a mature charm throughout, a man like that...

Serena, even with an extra glance, found him repulsive.

"Mom, my sister is tired from the journey; I’ll take her to rest for a bit."

Zoe chimed in, surrounding people saw her being so kind to Serena and felt every one of them thought Zoe was generous and kind.

Serena snatched Ethan Grant from Zoe’s hands, and not only did Zoe hand over the Chief Designer position at The Grant Corporation, but she was also this considerate to Serena.

"Okay." Claire didn’t object; she thought Serena could rest and then come out to meet Mr. Xie.

"Then I’ll take my sister over now." Zoe said with a smile, meeting Mr. Xie later? What’s the point of arranging this banquet then?

If she were to meet, of course it should be now!
