LittleNovelChapter 171 Last night, Joy's words hit him like a cold splash of water, making him realize that his sister's hostility toward Serena was far deeper than he had ever imagined.
He had no idea where this animosity stemmed from.
Yet, he could sense it, and given how sensitive Serena was, she surely felt it even more acutely.
"Why not go?" Hearing Serena's light-hearted tone, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief.
Her agreement meant she wasn't upset.
"Great, I'll pick you up on Saturday." "Okay." Northspire.

And from what Mr. William said, this was Miss Sullivan's first attempt at watch restoration.
"Mr. William, are you sure you want to send this watch to Miss Sullivan?" Lately, Finn found William harder to figure out.
Ever since William had found his footing again, he had been pouring all his energy into his work.
His goal was to reclaim control of the Grayson Group.
But recently, Mr. William had shifted his focus to Alderburg. Any project related to Alderburg, no matter how small, he insisted on overseeing personally.

It was easy to forget that William, once an illegitimate child who fought his way to becheir, hadn't done so through kindness.
"No, Mr. Grayson..." "Then get it done." "Yes, sir." Finn retreated from the room.
William watched the doorway for a moment. Once the door clicked shut, the sharpness in his demeanor faded, replaced by a calm and gentle aura.

Though she wished she could return to the restoration center, she feared she might never have that chance again.
Serena refocused on the materials.
This was her first exposure to watch restoration resources.
She quickly becengrossed in the newfound knowledge, losing track of time. The days slipped by unnoticed until Saturday morning when Samuel called.
"Oh right, we're going out for lunch today." Serena quickly pushed aside her laptop, rubbing her tired eyes. "Giveten minutes, I'll be ready." On the other end, Samuel chuckled, "No rush, take your time." "But you're already downstairs..." "It's fine, I can wait for you." Serena paused, "Alright."
