Chapter 927
Deep down, Serenity wondered who else she could spend the rest of her life with apart from Zachary,
That domineering man would panic if she mentioned that she wanted to break up.
Since she could not split with him; she could only try to blend in with his circle.
“Lately, I’ve received quite a number of invitations. I haven’t taken a look at them. They shouldn’t be of importance. The butler did not deliberately remind me.”
Mrs. Stone added, “Since you want to tag along to accumulate your experience, I’l let you join every social gathering with me.”
As she was speaking, she ordered someone to hand her the invitation cards.
After looking at all the invitations, she passed them to Serenity. “Seren, please sort these cards based on the dates, in ascending order. I’ll then describe to you the organizers of each social gathering, what businesses they are doing, how they became wealthy, their family members, and their personalities.
“When you get along with other people, it’s crucial to have a good grasp of their personalities. In fact, getting along with people is equivalent to going to a battlefield. You can only gain victory by knowing your enemies well.”
“Okay.”

“Mom, Seren, what are the two of you looking at? I saw both of you looking engrossed when I entered.”
Elisa turned her eyes to the pile of invitation cards. She casually took one and flipped through it. After taking a look at it, she placed it back on the coffee table and said, “I dislike attending this kind of social gathering the most.”
“Seren, is my mom planning to bring you along? Let me tell you that this type of occasion isn’t fun. We might as well ask Jasmine out and have Italian food together.”
Mrs. Stone complained about her daughter, “Do you think everyone’s like you? You said you wanted to learn how to start a business and invest. If you don’t socialize with other people, how are you going to grow a business? I saw the Dowlings are having a social gathering tomorrow night. Both of you come along with me and make an appearance. Also, learn how to socialize with others.”
“Mom, I’m not going. What’s more, the Dowlings‘ status is much lower than ours. Since when do you show respect for families who aren’t that wealthy?”
“Elisa, I was the one who asked Aunt Audrey to bring me along. I guess I’ll always have to attend such social gatherings in the future. I’ll take it as a learning experience.”
Elisa asked, “Oh. So you’ve made peace with Zachary, huh? Acknowledge me as the older cousin–in–law. I’ll put in the good word the moment he sees me as family.”
“You’re a few years younger than Zachary, yet you shamelessly want him to acknowledge you as the older cousin–in–law,” Mrs. Stone criticized her daughter.
Elisa said self–righteously, “I’m Seren’s cousin, whereas Zachary is Seren’s husband, so technically I’m higher in seniority. Seniority isn’t ranked by age–some people are already someone’s uncle once they’re born.”
