Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 275 - 274: No Matter What, Not Going to the Banquet

"Mom!"

She could only cry to Claire Sullivan.

Claire didn’t speak, she looked at Zoe Quinn with a chilly demeanor, making Zoe feel uneasy.

"How could Serena be an outsider!"

An angry voice followed, and Joel Quinn raised his hand and slapped Zoe.

His hand, which had taken so long to heal, still wasn’t fully recovered. This slap didn’t have much force, but it made Zoe’s cheek flush red.

"Serena is so pitiful, even if we gave her all the shares of the Sullivan Corporation, it would be worth it."

"Zoe, you should leave now."

Claire said, and Zoe left, covering her aching cheek, crying sorrowfully.

In the room, only Joel and Claire were left. Joel went over to hold Claire’s icy hand, "Claire, I don’t mind giving Serena the Sullivan Corporation."

He gazed at Claire with tenderness.

This man, Claire valued his gentleness, he always stood by her side.

In the past, she was satisfied with this kind of life.

Recently, she’s been feeling something is off! She’s even begun to wonder if everything she’s done over the years was a mistake.

"I can’t give her the Sullivan Corporation."

Claire said in a calm voice.

Four years ago, she took the five million The Grant Family gave to Serena to cover the Sullivan Corporation’s financial shortfall at the time.

Serena doesn’t know, over twenty years ago, a man also used five million to buy her out completely.

"I’ll find a way to get the shares in her hands. If I can’t, I’ll fight for other shareholders’ shares."

"Alright!"

That’s exactly what Joel wanted to hear from Claire; he nodded in agreement and sighed softly, "Claire, it’s all my fault that you and Serena have ended up like this."

Claire didn’t answer. She looked at Joel’s apologetic expression, recalling the things Serena said Joel did four years ago.

And the video Serena gave of Ruth Hale fooling around with a man in the office.

Joel explained the video as involving Ruth’s boyfriend, but he did share a similar silhouette with Joel.

Claire doesn’t know, at this point, what she should believe.

After Mr. Sullivan’s funeral, it was the Grant Family’s senior master’s birthday banquet.

The Grant Family held a high position in Solaria. This year, for the senior master’s sixty-fifth birthday, they organized a grand event, making it the biggest banquet in Solaria this year.

On that day, many prestigious families from high society would attend, and it was said many families from the Imperial Capital were coming to present gifts.

For such an important banquet, Ethan Grant tore up the invitation, and both Renee Grant and The Matron Grant called him at The Grant Corporation, but Ethan flatly refused — he wouldn’t go.

As the only son of the senior master and the current ruler of the Grant Family, not attending the birthday banquet would cause both the senior master and the Grant Family to lose face, and rumors about Ethan and the senior master’s discord would once again spread like wildfire.

Ethan said he wouldn’t attend no matter what, even if the Emperor himself invited him, he would still refuse.

That night, after skipping work, Ethan was busy in the kitchen; he wanted to prepare something delicious for Serena.

As long as Serena was happy, it didn’t matter if he had to mop the floor or do the laundry.

Serena, having changed her clothes, came out to see Ethan wearing an apron, busy in the kitchen.

Having tasted the first dish this man made, she said it was okay, which led him to cancel any engagements he could and take up studying recipes, cooking for her.

Furthermore, he seemed immersed in it and found joy in doing so.

Watching his "fierce" chopping and knife-wielding in the kitchen, Serena felt a bit of a headache coming on.
