When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 229: The Girl Who Saw the Reality Clearly
Lately, Serena Sutton should feel quite fortunate, and she ought to be grateful to Ivy Jennings.
The scandal of Ivy Jennings spending a night with President Lancaster in the suburbs directly overshadowed the news of Serena Sutton’s work plagiarizing Mrs. Lancaster’s.
In the internet age, public memory is always short.
Gradually, Serena Sutton also became at ease and thought about some things seriously.
More and more people learned that Ivy Jennings crossed President Lancaster’s bottom line and was fired.
Meanwhile, Serena Sutton not only kept her job but the works accused of being plagiarized could still be produced, and fans were willing to pay for them.
She suddenly felt lucky and grateful.
That afternoon, she mustered up the courage and with full sincerity, drove to The Lockwood Old Manor.
To apologize to Grandpa Lancaster.
Grandpa Lancaster looked at her sincere attitude and her readiness to amend her mistakes, and couldn’t help but soften his stance.
"Child, you like Adrian, and you wanted to prove yourself in front of him, so that’s why you did what you did, right?" The old man understood well.
Serena Sutton, however, lowered her head in shame, "I’m sorry, Grandpa, I was wrong."
"Serena," the old man sighed lightly, instructing, "In this world, almost everything can be obtained through hard work, except for matters of the heart. We must realize that efforts here are futile and only counterproductive."
The girl hung her head down, pressed her lips together, nodded, and made a promise, "Please believe me, Grandpa, from now on, I will focus on my career, strive to be better, and then meet someone exceptional."
"Good child." Hearing this, Grandpa Lancaster felt comforted, "Love is not much affected by when you meet someone; it’s really a matter of destiny."
Serena Sutton understood.
From the incident with Ivy Jennings, she fully realized the harsh reality that when President Lancaster is ruthless, he shows no mercy.
Ivy Jennings was someone he personally nurtured, but once she crossed his bottom line, he disposed of her without a second thought.
Coincidentally, Dustin Shepherd was nearby with a team conducting a project survey. After finishing, since it was on his way, he planned to stop by and see the old man.
The car stopped in the courtyard, and as he stepped out, he ran into Serena Sutton walking out of the living room with tear marks still by her eyes, and Grandpa Lancaster following her with his cane.
"Grandpa, go back inside, no need to see me off." The girl turned around while walking, waving to the old man.
As she turned back, she met Dustin Shepherd’s gaze, causing her to pause with a hint of guilt.
Dustin Shepherd’s cold gaze fell on her faintly smiling face.
He fixed his gaze on her!
But because Grandpa Lancaster was present, Dustin Shepherd said nothing, only his gaze was slightly cold.
Serena Sutton looked down, stepped forward, passed by him, and then drove away.
Dustin Shepherd did not mention Serena Sutton, instead walked towards the old man, greeted him, and chatted about recent updates.
On the way back to the company, Dustin Shepherd recalled the scene of Serena Sutton at The Lockwood Old Manor, and a cold gleam appeared in his usually gentle eyes.
The next day, at the company.
Serena Sutton had just stepped out of the elevator and almost bumped into Dustin Shepherd.
She halted in her tracks, their eyes met, and inexplicably, the girl felt a bit guilty.
"Hello, Assistant Shepherd." She greeted him and intended to leave.
But Dustin Shepherd reached out to stop her, so she paused and turned her eyes, "..."
"Even someone like Ivy Jennings can be replaced. Do you think you’re so impressive?"
Dustin Shepherd turned his gaze, coldly asking, "If President Lancaster learns that you went to see Grandpa Lancaster at the old manor, have you thought about the consequences?"
