Chapter 1653
“This house is too quiet. Get a few people to watch the house.” During her walk, Mrs. Stonecomplained that her daughter’s house was too quiet.
The Stones‘ housekeeper would arrange for someone to clean the villa, but no one lived there.
Elisa enjoyed being alone and free without being controlled by anyone.
“I think this is great.”
Elisa would like to keep to the status quo.
Mrs. Stone shot a glance at her daughter. She did not want to keep arguing over the topic with her.
“I’m attending a charity gala tonight. Come with me.”
“Mom, you know I’ve always disliked attending galas. You can get Seren or Liberty to accompany youthere.”
Mrs. Stone could not help but poke Elisa’s head. “You’re now a businesswoman. It’s important tosocialize. If you don’t socialize, how are you going to do business? If you’re able to do business inWiltspoon, it’s all because of your brother’s reputation. Other people are willing to do it for the sake ofour family’s status.
“Thankfully, the vegetables on your farm aren’t too bad. At least no one criticized it. Once you leaveWiltspoon and move to other cities, who else will know who you are?
“I’m taking you to the gala for the sake of your future. Seren doesn’t like this kind of occasion too, butshe’s responsible, self–motivated, and willing to learn to blend in with the people. She’s different from
before. Now, she’s a lot more confident.
“What’s more, Zachary has to attend the charity gala. Seren will definitely go with him, so how can sheaccompany me? You’re my daughter.”
Sometimes, Mrs. Stone could not do anything to her daughter. It was her family that pampered herdaughter this way.
“What about Liberty? You can bring her along.”
“Don’t you know her temperament? Even Seren can’t persuade her to attend, much less me. Libertyneeds to look after Sonny at night.”
Elisa pursed her lips and compromised. “Fine. I’ll accompany you to the gala. How much money andhow many things is Stone Group going to donate?”
“You’ll know tonight.”
The prominent families in Wiltspoon would attend important charity galas and donate things; regardlessof whether they did it out of kindness or for the sake of their reputation.
It would be Serenity’s first time accompanying Zachary to attend this kind of event. The two of themwere representatives of the Yorks.novelbin
Mrs. Stone could not possibly get Serenity to keep her company.
“Mom, will Mr. Reading attend?” Elisa suddenly asked.
She was worried that Mrs. Stone would arrange for her to get along with Andrew.
“How would I know? I can’t read Mr. Reading’s mind.”
Elisa stuck out her tongue playfully. Then, she stopped speaking.
Mrs. Stone had made peace with Elisa. Now that Mrs. Stone came to meet Elisa personally, Elisa’sanger at being kicked out of Mrs. Stone’s car subsided.
As Serenity was going to accompany Zachary to attend the charity gala, she planned to close herbookstore in the afternoon and send Sonny to Liberty’s place. That was when Jasmine came to thestore.
Just as Serenity was about to close the store, Jasmine said, “Seren, I’ll watch the store. You can dowhatever you want. I felt bored staying at home. I could finally convince Josh to let me out.”
While speaking, Jasmine walked into the store and placed her bag on the counter. She added, “I’llwatch the store. I’d rather read novels in the store than lie at home like a pig. I sleep and eat at home,which makes me feel like I’m living the life of a pig.”
