NovelEnglishChapter 169 If Serena were to really becher sister-in-law, her future with Rock would mean they'd often see each other...
She dared not think further.
"Brother... but Serena has been with Mr. Vance for four years. Isn't she damaged goods by now? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for picking up someone else's leftovers?!" Joy's voice dwindled, as Samuel's eyes fixed on her with an intensity she had never seen before.
"Do you even know what you're saying? When Serena was with Aaron, she loved him wholeheartedly. Even if they broke up, it was because Aaron didn't appreciate her. What fault does she have in that? You're a woman too. If you can't empathize, fine, but how could you think like this? Especially since you're a college student!" Joy bit her lip, lowering her head, feeling defiant yet aware that Samuel was genuinely upset.
She couldn't say anything more.
If she continued, she'd surely be shown the door today.
"Brother, I'm sorry." "Don't say another word. Go hand reflect on this." Joy wanted to argue further, but Samuel had already turned away, clearly unwilling to listen any longer.

On the subway.
Joy received a message from her roommate.
Her roommate was ecstatic: "Do you know who the mysterious guest for this year's school anniversary is? Ahhhh, you won't believe it, I'm so excited! Finally, a chance to see my idol up close, ahhhh, so happy!" Feeling irritable, Joy replied absentmindedly: "Who is it?" Her roommate quickly sent back a new message.
Just three words.
Joy's eyes widened in shock at the sight! Serena was relaxing on the couch with a face mask on when she got a call from William.
She thought it was just a voice call.
Upon answering, she saw William's mature and chiseled face appear on the screen, realizing it was a video call. Startled, Serena sat up, the mask slipping to the floor.
"Enjoying a face mask? Seems like you have plenty of leisure time," William's rich, magnetic voice resonated through the room.
Though gentle, his voice carried a sharp undertone.
Serena, feeling a pang of regret, tossed the mask into the trash before looking at William on the screen. "Mr. Grayson, what brings you to callat this hour?" "Listen to you. Is our relationship so distant that I need a reason to call you?" Serena opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.
After a pause, William's soft laughter cthrough the phone: "Alright, I won't tease you. Let's get to business. Earlier, you askedto look around Northspire to see if anyone needed antique restoration. I found someone." "Really?" Serena's eyes lit up like stars in the night sky.
William's Adam's apple moved with a slight difficulty.
"Yes," he cleared his throat gently, "but it's a watch. Can you handle that?" "A watch!" Serena grew more excited.
Restoring watches is one of the most challenging branches of antiquem restoration due to their intricate mechanical structures, demanding greater skill from the restorer.

But that's her; the more challenging something seems, the more iPexcites ve her. Just like Aaron.
Back then, everyone told her Aaron was the most unattainable man in Alderburg.
No one could win him over.
But she refused to believe it.
If only no one had told her those things back then, maybe...
"So, are you planning to take it on?" William's voice brought Serena back to the present.
