Chapter 70: I’m Taking Her Away

Gabriel glanced at her indifferently but still unhurriedly took off his suit jacket to drape it over her shoulders.
The crowd who had been mocking her just now instantly had their eyes widened and gasped.
Rumors had it that Gabriel Jones was cold and indifferent by nature. Every time he attended a banquet, he would be alone without a female companion.
Other than the paparazzi snapping photos of him and the famous actress Jocelyn White, there were almost no other scandals.
Rarely had anyone seen any woman standing by his side openly, but he seemed to treat this second daughter of the Rivers family differently today.
Serenity was dumbstruck as she looked at Gabriel with a wooden expression. She was so shocked that she could not come back to her senses.
President Zabinski’s expression changed at the sight of Gabriel’s actions and resentment suddenly rose in his heart.
This woman must have done it on purpose. She mentioned the Rivers family and the Grant family just now, but she did not mention that she was related to Gabriel Jones.
If he knew that she knew Gabriel Jones, he would not dare to touch her even if he had the guts.
Gabriel turned a blind eye to the probing gazes of the bystanders. His eyes remained focused on President Zabinski as he lightly said, “President Zabinski, I’ll be taking this woman with me.”
President Zabinski was so scared that his back was covered in cold sweat but he plastered on a calm face before Gabriel Jones as he quickly said, “As you wish, President Jones.”
Caleb picked up Serenity’s high heels. She put on her shoes and left Golden Sands with Gabriel.
By now, Serenity had completely sobered up. After getting into the car, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
Caleb, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, glanced at the silent two through the rearview mirror and tried his best to reduce his presence.
Gabriel’s long legs were crossed as he looked ahead. His expression remained cold and indifferent, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Serenity was feeling a little tired so she propped her head up with one hand. When her eyes were about to close, she forced herself to stay awake.
She suddenly recalled what President Zabinski had said earlier and glanced at Gabriel from the corner of her eyes. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Is the Rivers family’s company in danger?”
Gabriel’s well-defined fingers were placed on his knees, lightly clasping them. When he heard her words, he turned his head sideways and shot her a glance. Instead of answering, he asked a question instead.
“Who here is the real member of the Rivers family?”
She looked embarrassed and stuck her tongue out at his hard side profile. She thought that it would be better to ask him instead of going back to ask Benjamin Rivers, but she did not expect to be hit with dust.
Just as she stuck her tongue out, Gabriel happened to turn and saw her actions. She smiled at him awkwardly. “Did President Jones come to Golden Sands tonight with someone?”
Gabriel pursed his thin lips. Rather than saying that he had an appointment, it was more accurate to say that someone else had asked him out, and the people who had asked him out were President Zabinski and the rest.
He had never participated in this kind of date. Today was just a last-minute idea, but he did not expect to meet her.
He knew President Zabinski’s character very well. If he did not come or arrive in time, Serenity would definitely suffer.
The neon lights outside the car window flashed past, making his eyes appear dim. He lightly said, “Don’t go to that kind of place in the future.”
“Are you worried about me?” Serenity suddenly leaned forward and watched his reaction. Then, she raised her eyebrows and smiled. “The great President Jones also cares about people? I’m flattered.”
Gabriel glanced at her and turned a deaf ear to her teases.
Caleb chimed in. “Miss Serenity, President Zabinski is a pervert. If it weren’t for President Jones, you would have been in danger..”
