Capítulo 2: She Has Returned to the Country
Editor: Atlas Studios
She passed the paper and pen back to Caleb. "I am the one who ran into your car. My brother-in-law is Grant Group's John Grant. If there's anything you need, you can contact him and he will compensate you."
She was not long-winded with her words and, within her indifferent voice, there was a hint of dominance. After she'd said her piece, she turned around and left.
This was the first time Caleb had been met with such a situation. He looked at the man sitting in the backseat of the car through the rearview mirror.
The man's cold face was devoid of expression while his fists were clenched tightly. In his pitch-black eyes, there seemed to be a hint of displeasure.
He mumbled, "President Jones…"
This scene was seen by the person in another car. The man sitting in the driver's seat of that car was the Gilbert Group's heir, Calvin Gilbert.
He stared at Serenity Rivers for a long while before confirming that he did not recognize the wrong person and excitedly fished out his phone to make a call.
A woman dressed flirtatiously was sitting on the passenger seat beside him. His female partner coquettishly leaned over and took his phone. She pouted and said, "Yan, who must you call when you are with me?"
Calvin Gilbert was the son of a rich family. However, he was also a playboy. He changed his female partners as though he was changing clothes.
He looked very handsome and elegant. Moreover, he was never stingy with his praises for women and, hence, many women were willing to be his woman even if it was just for one day.
His female partner was obviously unhappy to see him making a call as she was afraid that he would dump her the next day.
Hence, she constantly took notice of his every move and action in case another woman stole him away.
Calvin watched Serenity get into her car and turned around to face his female partner to take back his phone. "Quickly, give me back my phone."
His female partner had a premonition. "Do you know that woman?"
"Of course. We are even very close to each other." Calvin Gilbert took the phone from her hand and merrily searched John Grant's contact number. Just as he was about to call him, he paused.
If he was not wrong, the car Serenity had run into belonged to Gabriel Jones.
He contemplated for a while and decided to book a suite at the Palene Hotel before calling John Grant.
Grant Group President's Office
John Grant was reading his documents with his head lowered when the phone on his desk rang. He put down his pen and reached out to take a look at the caller before answering the call. "Why did you call me?"
Calvin's excited voice could be heard over the phone. "Mr. President Grant, Busy Grant, I saw Serenity just now! She's back!"
John Grant's breath hitched. He was right. She was coming back today.
He purposely did not want to think or ask about it and used his work to hypnotize himself, but Calvin Gilbert's call brought him back to reality.
He closed the document with one hand and faintly replied, "Yes."
"The moment she came back, she created big trouble for you."
Calvin's voice was full of gloating over his misfortune. John Grant did not speak, only quietly listening to the latter part of his story.
Calvin also did not wait for him to ask and narrated the whole story of what happened just now to him.
After he heard it, he did not have that big of a reaction, only replying with an "I got it."
Calvin was very dissatisfied with his response and even especially emphasized that the other party was Gabriel Jones.
In Andalas, everyone knew who Gabriel Jones was. He entered the business world when he was 22 and became the president of Zephyr Group when he was 24. He was indeed a talent in the business world.
He had a wide range of businesses under his name and had almost monopolized all of the economic powers in Andalas.
He was only 28 years old, yet his net worth was already at an alarming number.
Everyone in the business world knew that Gabriel Jones was very decisive and firm in his decisions. Whenever needed, he would come up with a plan that could be as shocking as a thunderstrike.
Calvin said as though he was trying to claim a reward from him, "Since I'm such a good bro of yours, I have already booked a suite for you at the Palene Hotel."
