Mrs. Stone was at a loss for words.
“Seren, since you’ve made up your mind, I’ll sacrifice myself to accompany you and Mom to play pretend with others. On that kind of occasion, everyone puts on an act.”
Mrs. Stone was infuriated by her daughter.
Serenity laughed and said, “In my opinion, we need to learn to tolerate a lot of things, considering that you’ve decided to learn to grow a business.”
“How great it would be if Elisa is half as understanding as you are.”
Mrs. Stone could not do anything to her daughter. Of course, her daughter had enough capital, so she could act however she wanted without having to make a false show of compliance.
“Elisa is great. I like how straightforward Elisa is.”
Elisa lifted her chin complacently and said to her mother, “Mom, look, you think Serenity is better than me, but she thinks that I’m great.”
“Oh you, becoming so arrogant with just one compliment.”
The three of them were chatting merrily. With Sonny’s baby talk in between, the house was filled with laughter.
After a while, a maid walked over and said courteously, “Ma’am, dinner is ready.”
Mrs. Stone said to Serenity, “Mm. Seren, we’ll have dinner first. After that, you can go upstairs and try Elisa’s gowns to see which style suits you. Then, I’ll buy you a few sets of gowns. You can have your hair styled in the afternoon.
“Since you’ve chosen to be with Zachary, you shouldn’t rely on him and lose your sense of self. You need to make a change.
“Besides, what you’re trying to learn will be useful to your life. I’ll slowly teach you etiquette. You’re clever, and I believe you’ll grasp it in no time.”
Serenity adhered to Mrs. Stone’s plan and had no comment on it.
