Everyone present was taken aback by Serena's comment.
Even the bodyguards in the corner of the room, dressed in suits, looked at Serena with incredulous eyes, their faces pale.
This girl was bold and would probably have angered Mr. Angelo with such an absurd request. Then everyone present looked at Mr. Angelo.
Angelo was really furious about his comment, his face was full of anger, and he pointed his finger at Serena,
-What did you say? Don't you dare say it again.
Serena gave a sweet smile, "Grandpa, a moment ago you said you could fulfill all my requests, isn't Cristian as important to you as the Calligaris family? In that case, I'm not going to break up with him, after all, for me, even if he gave me the family and begged me to leave him, I wouldn't.
Angelo was surprised by Serena's words; he did not expect her not to leave Cristian even if he gave her Calligaris' family in return.
But were Serena's words true?
-In any case, whether you accept this check or not, I will not accept your absurd demand, and if the money I gave you is not enough, I can give you more, but you will leave when you get my money!
Serena stood still; she had been explaining herself to Angelo for so long that she suddenly felt a little tired. Serena wondered how long it would be before Cristian arrived. Since Angelo was Cristian's grandfather, Serena was reluctant to abuse him with abject language, but she was tired of verbal circumlocutions. And it was obvious that Angelo was not joking with her.
Serena inwardly sighed and said in a serious and grave tone.
-Grandpa Angelo, whatever you want in return, I will not leave Cristian.
Hearing what Serena said, Angelo narrowed his eyes and glared at her.
-I didn't think you would do things this way.
At those words, Serena nervously locked her eyes with Angelo's and thought to herself, "Will Angelo show his hands? Doesn't he have fun with her anymore?"
In this case, Serena was also about to say what was really on her mind. But no sooner had Serena had the idea than she heard a man speaking at the door.
-Grandfather, why are you giving her such a hard time?
Hearing this familiar, deep voice, Serena instantly lit up and shook her head back toward the door.
Cristian was standing in the doorway of the secretary's office, dressed in a simple suit from which a quiet hormone emanated. He scanned the secretary's office with icy eyes before approaching Serena, who was about to shout his name when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
-I'm the one who courted her, Grandpa, and if you have to blame someone, then blame me.
Cristian's sudden appearance made Angelo's anger burn even more, and he looked with dismay at Cristian and Serena behind him and said.
-It's not time to go to work yet, did you come for this woman earlier? Did she call you while I was making tea?
Serena, who was standing behind Cristian, felt offended because during that time she had really only gone to tea in earnest and had done nothing else. Because Serena was not the kind of woman who only sought her husband's help when she was in trouble.
After all, the issue was too complicated, and one reason was that she did not want to involve Cristian in it, because what she and Mr. Angelo knew, Cristian might not know.
Another reason was that Mr. Angelo already disliked her, and if she had called Cristian for help, Angelo's impression of her would probably have been even worse. So whatever difficulties Serena had encountered in this office this morning, she would not have called Cristian.
But why had Cristian come so early?
-Grandfather, Serena is not such a fragile girl." Just as Serena wondered, Cristian explained.
-I imagined you would come to the office, I didn't see you this morning and assumed you came to the office, and to my surprise, I was right.
