Mr. Grant Treats Me Like a Treasure-Chapter 310 - 309: Telling Her the Truth from Four Years Ago

"I just want you and Ethan to be alright."

The Matron Grant spoke again, and Serena Sullivan was momentarily stunned.

"Alright?" Finn Chandler found it amusing; members of The Grant Family kept advising Serena Sullivan not to dwell on Ethan Grant.

"Serena doesn’t deserve Ethan Grant; she can’t possibly enter The Grant Family."

This was what Mr. Grant and Renee Grant had said verbatim.

The Matron Grant lowered her head, feeling embarrassed.

She knew her husband and stepdaughter didn’t want Serena Sullivan to marry Ethan Grant; once upon a time, neither would she.

But...

Four years had passed; she watched her son become someone else. What was there left to figure out?

"Serena, saying this, I know you won’t believe." The Matron Grant lifted her head again, her eyes sorrowfully fixed on Serena, words she originally only wanted to speak to Serena. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

With Anna and Finn Chandler present, it was better for Serena not to harbor resentment against Ethan.

"Four years ago, you can’t blame Ethan."

She spoke, her eyes reddening, "He couldn’t receive your calls; it was his father who locked him up."

This matter was a kept secret within The Grant Family.

Not many in high society knew, and it hadn’t even reached The Morgan Family.

Those aware included Renee Grant and Carter Lockwood from The Lockwood Family, and even Felix Lockwood didn’t dare to speak of it, as well as Julian Ford.

Four years ago, were it not for Ethan Grant being pushed to the brink of collapse, Mr. Grant might not have disclosed the matter to Carter Lockwood and Julian Ford.

"Locked up?"

Anna Morgan asked in confusion, turning her head to Finn Chandler, who shook his head, equally clueless.

For years, they took care of Serena, not bothering to look into what Ethan Grant, that scoundrel, was up to until Serena was ready to return, prompting her to have Finn investigate The Grant Family and Ethan Grant.

"Yes." The Matron Grant nodded, "A few days before your car accident, his father had locked him in a room."

"To prevent him from being with me?"

Serena Sullivan bitterly smiled, "We had already broken up at the time."

Ethan Grant had already broken up with her; whether locked up or not, what was the point!

"Ethan is stubborn to the core; if he likes someone, he’ll see it through to the end. Breaking up with you was surely out of spite."

"I don’t know why you two broke up back then, but I’m sure he spoke in anger."

The Matron Grant understood her son; otherwise, why had Ethan Grant been waiting for Serena all these years?

Because of guilt?

No, it wasn’t; it was because he had always loved her.

"When you called, he was locked up."

The Matron Grant continued with a bitter smile, "Like them, I couldn’t accept you as my daughter-in-law."

"Not just because your family background isn’t as good as The Grant Family’s, but also because of your mother..."

Here, The Matron Grant paused and shifted topics, "So, they locked Ethan away until he agreed not to meet you."

"How can love be forced?"

Finn Chandler hadn’t expected The Grant Family to be so heartless, putting their own interests above even their son, locking him up.

"Yes," The Matron Grant said softly, repeating, "Yes, you can’t force these matters of the heart."

They wanted Ethan Grant to give up Serena Sullivan, to marry and have children according to their wishes.

But Ethan Grant was not a puppet; he was a living, breathing person!

"The phone wasn’t in his hands, so he didn’t get your calls."

"Miss Sullivan, you really can’t blame him for this," The Matron Grant said tearfully. She had been having nightmares every night, haunted by the image of Ethan Grant being locked away four years ago.

A person initially resisted with all their might, smashing things, starving themselves, and in such a short time, became emaciated, like a withered, dying tree.
