CHAPTER 207: CHAPTER 206: MR. GRANT, YOUR CARD WAS CHARGED

"If I were you, I wouldn’t even want such an ungrateful, disloyal daughter!"

After Ruth Hale finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Zoe Quinn and tenderly reached out to remove the rice from Zoe’s hair. Then she said to Claire Sullivan, "Anyway, you already have Zoe as your daughter now."

"Zoe, ride with me, okay?"

"Sure!"

Zoe replied, knowing that Ruth’s words would certainly make Claire reflect deeply and perhaps lead her to abandon Serena Sullivan.

Moreover, she wanted to know what plan Ruth had devised to deal with Serena.

"Mom, we’re leaving now."

Before getting into the car, Zoe politely said goodbye to Claire.

Claire watched them get into the car and walked over to say something, but the window rolled up. Inside, Zoe was smiling as she chatted with Ruth.

Instead of finding their closeness excessive, Claire felt that she had been too biased toward Serena, hurting Zoe’s feelings due to Ruth’s words.

Yes, even though Zoe wasn’t her daughter, she’d treated her so well, yet she insisted on Serena doing something!

However, she couldn’t bring herself to be that ruthless! She constantly recalled the scene from over twenty years ago, standing alone by the riverside with her pregnant belly.

If it weren’t for the baby Serena inside her giving her belly a kick when she was utterly despairing and about to jump, she would have already jumped into the river of the Imperial Capital and died.

Serena didn’t immediately go back; instead, she went shopping with Anna and the young girl.

A few days ago, Ethan Grant gave her a black card, which she hadn’t used yet.

Today, she skipped work and decided to go shopping to buy clothes for Anna and the young girl.

Anna looked at the clothes Serena picked out for her, continuously declining.

She just needed to do her job well.

"No worries, it’s not my money I’m spending." Serena chuckled, stuffing the clothes into Anna’s hands.

Anna was momentarily speechless, not getting the meaning.

"It’s Mr. Grant’s money."

"I want to buy you things, but I don’t have the money."

She was indeed poor. Previously, the expenses for medical treatments and leg care were all covered by Finn Chandler and Anna, later earning quite a bit through her designs.

But her leg care treatments cost a fortune, and there was a major surgery she had to undergo later, along with some post-operative expenses, leaving her perpetually penniless.

"His money isn’t wasted if you spend it."

Serena had the young girl push Anna into the changing room and continued picking out items for the young girl.

The young girl didn’t refuse but had specific style preferences for her clothes.

Suits, black suits!

Alright, a twenty-something, perhaps not even twenty yet, young girl who habitually wore a black suit didn’t fear not finding a husband, and she was surprisingly fierce during fights.

Serena helplessly chose suits for the young girl, then bought a lot of clothes for her family members Finn Chandler and Anna.

Finn needed suits, but the colors she chose for him were more flamboyant like dark red and royal blue—whatever was bright, she picked it.

Her family member Finn looked handsome, no matter what he wore.

Anna’s was easier to choose: select the priciest in the store, and that’s it.

Spending someone else’s money made her feel no pain in her wallet.

Meanwhile, Ethan Grant was in a meeting at The Grant Corporation, listening to the manager’s report seriously.

His phone rang—it was a text message.

The meeting was convened urgently, and he forgot to turn off the sound.

A text promptly followed, interrupting the manager, and Ethan picked up his phone, saying softly, "Continue!"

As he intended to switch his phone to silent mode, he swiped the screen and saw the message pop up, causing his eyes to light up with a bit of surprise.

"What does this message say?"

He handed his phone to the secretary next to him and asked.

"Mr. Grant, your bank card has been swiped."
