Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 535 Grace Quarters: This is the money Malcom gave me...
Serena Sterling looked at Malcom Moore and asked, "Is it very urgent?"
Malcom smiled, "It’s nothing."
She looked at Malcom and spoke in a cool voice, "You’ve kept me company for a long time, you should head to the company."
Malcom stepped closer to Serena, reached out and hugged her, "It’s really nothing. Besides, even if there is something I can’t handle, my father is there, he will take care of it."
Serena looked at Malcom and asked back, "But aren’t you the president of the Morris Group?"
Then, before Malcom said anything, Serena continued, "Go to the company. Don’t worry, I won’t leave here."
Malcom thought for a moment, nodded, "Alright."
Having said that, he gathered his things and headed out.
At the doorway, he turned back to Serena, giving instructions, "Luna, I’ll be back soon, call me if you need anything."
Serena nodded, "Alright."
Malcom opened the door.
As he grabbed the doorknob, he turned back again, "I’ll be back soon."
Serena continued to nod, "Alright."
Not long after Malcom left, the apartment door was knocked on.
Upon hearing the knock, Serena came to open the door.
Outside stood Grace Quarters, looking sickly.
Serena looked at Grace, her face cold as she asked, "Miss Quarters, are you here to see Malcom Moore? He just left."
Grace looked at Serena and immediately began to apologize, "Miss Sterling, I’m not here for Malcom, I’m here for you, please don’t misunderstand, he has promised to marry you, and he and I... are just family for now."
Serena was disgusted by Grace’s delicate appearance, her face indifferent, "Malcom is not here. If Miss Quarters wants to perform, you can go to his company to find him."
With that, she was about to close the door.
This kind of white lotus flower, trying to play all ends, she had no mood to watch her act.
Grace reached out to stop Serena from closing the door.
Grace looked at Serena, full of grievance, "Miss Sterling, you misunderstood me."
Serena coldly chuckled inside.
She had explained misunderstanding innumerable times, it disgusted her to no end.
Grace only said that one sentence, and did not continue to explain.
She took out a bank card, handed it to Serena, and with a determined attitude said, "I’m about to leave, this is the card Malcom gave me that day... I don’t want to live between you and him, causing misunderstandings, so I can’t keep this card."
Grace looked at Serena, the anguish in her eyes deepening as she continued, "I will leave, without me, you two will surely be happy!"
Serena looked at the bank card in Grace’s hand and laughed sardonically.
She looked at Grace, speaking coldly, "If it was given to you by Malcom, why don’t you want it?"
"I..." Grace lowered her head in shame, "I am sorry to him, too embarrassed to accept his money."
After saying all this in one breath, Grace lifted her head.
She looked at Serena, reached out and tried to shove the bank card into Serena’s hand, "I’m leaving, please return this card to him for me."
Serena dodged Grace’s attempt to shove the card at her, and with a sneer she said, "If you don’t want it, you can return it to him in person, he’s at the company now."
With that, as if recalling something, she continued, "Or you can leave the card at the Morris Group’s company reception, I’m sure the receptionist will help you pass it on."
Grace seemed not to hear Serena’s words.
"Malcom treated me like family, that’s why he gave me this money, but I can’t take it..."
As though recalling something sorrowful, Grace’s eyes grew even more pained, "I lack the courage to return it to him in person, I... I leave it with you, hoping... hoping you can believe that Malcom loves you."
Finally, Grace placed the bank card on the coffee table in the living room.
She looked at Serena, wishing her well, "I wish you happiness!"
With that, Grace turned and left.
Just as she turned around, a sharp glint flickered in her eyes filled with pain.
At the same time, a slow smile appeared on her lips...
Grace was gone.
Serena looked at the bank card on the table, dumbfounded for a long time.
Not knowing what kind of feelings she had, she went to the bank with the card, inserting it into an ATM machine...
The card had no password.
Serena directly checked the balance.
It turned out there were seven zeros, a total of fifty million!
She took the card and returned to the apartment.
A few hours later, Malcom returned from the company.
Serena handed the bank card to Malcom, "This is what Grace Quarters brought over, saying to return it to you on her behalf."
Malcom said nothing, accepting the card from Serena’s hand.
The card was indeed the one he had given to Grace.
Since she didn’t want it and returned it, so be it.
As for why there was no explanation to Serena, it was because Malcom thought Serena had seen everything between him and Grace in the private room that day, and knew the conditions under which he gave Grace the card.
Therefore, he felt no need to explain.
But Malcom did not know that Serena had no idea under what circumstances he had given Grace that card.
The events between him and Grace in that private room that day, Serena neither heard the beginning nor the end, only hearing the part in the middle where Grace was crying in his arms—the part where Grace couldn’t let go of him, was infatuated with him, and told him not to marry her out of gratitude.
Malcom looked at Serena and gently asked, "Luna, are you hungry? I..."
"No need, I’ve already eaten." Serena spoke indifferently, then looked at Malcom and said, "I’m tired, going to rest first."
With that, she turned and walked towards the bedroom.
Malcom watched Serena’s back, and after she entered the bedroom, he directly went to the study to continue handling business.
After entering the bedroom, Serena did not, as she said, rest because she was tired, instead, she walked to the window.
She didn’t know what she was thinking about, standing there dazedly, staring at the night outside the window for a long time, unable to recover...
The next day, Serena returned to work at the company.
Upon arriving at the company, Serena went directly to find the company manager, submitting an application—to apply to go to Milan for a three-year designer training.
The current manager of Serena, around forty years old, was surnamed Brown.
He was newly hired into the company after the last ’plagiarism’ incident involving Serena.
Coincidentally, this new manager of Heavenly Rule Group, was a guest professor of Serena during her university days.
When Serena was in school, she had always performed excellently.
This Professor Brown, now Serena’s manager, always appreciated and loved talents.
Upon hearing that Serena wanted to further her studies in Milan, he immediately stated he would strive for it with the head office on her behalf, and told Serena to wait for the news.
