Chapter 78: Do Something for the Rivers FamilyTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Rivers Group needs a large sum of money to develop a new project.” Benjamin did not give her a chance to refuse. “You are aRivers. You should do something for the Rivers family.”

She remained silent. So what if she entered Zephyr Group?She and Gabriel were only in a superficial relationship. Why would he save the Rivers family because of her?

Gabriel was too wise and calm to fall into such a scheme. How could he do something that would not benefit him, all forawoman?

“Don't you still have John?” John Grant wouldn't sit by and do nothing.“There are other people in the Grant family besides John.”

Although John Grant was the executive president, the authority still rested in the hands of his father, the chairman. If John’sfather did not agree, John would not be able to do anything about it either.

The conversation ended in silence.She was bound to have insomnia that night.

When she left her room the next morning, she was greeted by the sight of Benjamin having his breakfast in the dining roomdownstairs. As she took her seat, Mrs. Walters came over with Serenity’s meal.

Just as she was about to dig in, Benjamin said, “After breakfast, I'll send you to Zephyr.”

She paused while holding her bread, and for the first time, she resisted him.”| don’t want to go.”

“You have to go even if you don’t want to,” said Benjamin in his deep voice.

After a long silence, she said, “I haven’t resigned from my job at the magazine agency yet. Can’t this wait until tomorrow-?”

Benjamin interrupted her and said, “I'll get Mr. Charlie to do it.” He took the napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth. Then, hegot up and smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves.

She enjoyed the rest of her breakfast as much as she would chewing on wax. There was no way she could savor it after whatBenjamin said to her.

After breakfast, Benjamin sent Serenity to Zephyr Group personally as promised. The car stopped outside the company building.But even after the car stopped moving, Serenity remained seated in the backseat numbly like a soulless puppet.

Benjamin turned around and said, “I’ve already made the necessary arrangements. You just need to go through the motions.”

Mr. Charlie got out of the car and opened the door for her. She got out of the car without saying a word and looked at thetowering building, her heart turning cold.

What would Gabriel’s reaction be if he knew that she was now working at Zephyr Group?She heard the sound of the car door close behind her. Then, the engine of the car eventually faded into the distance.

She took a deep breath and entered the building with her bag in hand. As soon as she stepped into the lobby, a suited man in hisforties walked over quickly.

He stopped in front of Serenity and addressed her. “Miss Serenity?”

She was unfamiliar with the person in front of her, but it was not difficult to guess that he must have been arranged by Benjaminto greet her. She nodded. “I’m Serenity Rivers.”

“I'm Fred Yates, the manager of the R&D department,” said the man as he introduced himself with a smile.

She smiled and shook hands with him. The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries. Since there was no interview, Fred simplywalked her through the new employment standard operating procedures.

It was really just a formality that only took half an hour.

When she was done, Serenity walked out of the building and hailed a taxi to the magazine agency. Ms. Lewis had been good toher during her days at the magazine agency, so the least Serenity should do was hand in her resignation personally.

As soon as she arrived and stepped into office, Sam Kiln approached her. “Serenity, 1 heard that you are resigning.”

She was about to speak when she saw Mr. Charlie coming out of Ms. Lewis’s. Serenity watched as her chief editor followedbehind the secretary to personally send him out with a smile on her face.

Mr. Charlie was slightly stunned when he saw Serenity, then he strode towards her and said, “Miss Serenity, everything has beensettled here.”

These people moved too quickly. She nodded and distantly said, “Sorry to trouble you.”

Then, she walked to her desk and began to organize her things.

“Are you really leaving?” Sam Kiln came to her again.

Previously, only Ms. Lewis and Sam Kiln knew that she was the second daughter of the Rivers family. No one else knew.

But by now, the others in the office were already whispering to each other, probably having guessed her identity..
