章節 243: The Harm of Public Remarks

In the president's office, John slammed the newspaper in his hand onto the desk, scaring Alfred who shrank back. President Grant rarely lost his temper these years. The only person who could make him angry was Miss Serenity of the Rivers family.

John's handsome face turned cold as he said sternly, "Tell me, what is going on?"

Alfred glanced at the newspaper on the table and complained bitterly in his heart. He had clearly followed President Grant's instructions and suppressed the news of Gilbert Group temporarily canceling the engagement yesterday, but it was still reported today.

So be it, but he had to drag Serenity into it. The title of the column read: The marriage between the Rivers and Gilbert families was canceled, and the dream of Miss Serenity Rivers marrying into a wealthy family was shattered. 

Alfred knew better than anyone else that Serenity was more precious than pearls in John's heart. She was the darling that no one else could touch.
