Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Is It That Horizon Group She’s Thinking Of?

"Tomorrow is the weekend, could I invite you to go shopping with me?" Charlotte Summers said, her eyes flashing with a tinge of nervousness as she spoke hesitantly.

Serena Summers looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Why would you suddenly ask me to go shopping with you?"

She felt that Charlotte today was somewhat strange.

In the past, whenever she saw her, Charlotte would avoid her if possible.

But today, she kept trying to get close to her on her own initiative.

"I just want to get closer to you. You should see that I like our senior, right? Since he treats you so well, couldn’t you say a few words for me in front of him?"

Serena immediately had an epiphany.

So this was Charlotte’s intention?

She helplessly shook her head and explained softly, "It’s not that I won’t help you, but Big Brother simply doesn’t see you in that way."

Master Shaw had advised Liam Shaw many times to find a girlfriend soon.

But Liam continued to be willful.

His eyes only had room for medical research and nothing else.

"But, but I can’t accept this! I’ve liked him since high school, and to be able to attend the same university as him, I’ve worked my way up from a poor student," Charlotte said, pouting, her tone full of grievance.

Serena’s eyes widened in surprise.

She hadn’t expected that there was such a history between Charlotte and Big Brother.

"Just help me out, you don’t need to do anything special, just speak of my good points in front of him. I believe that one day I will be able to move him," Charlotte said as she clung to Serena’s sleeve, coquettishly pleading.

Serena immediately felt goosebumps all over her body.

She sighed, resigned to the situation, and said, "I can speak well of you, but I only tell the truth. Your possessiveness over Big Brother is too strong, if you continue like this, he’ll only distance himself even more."

"What should I do then?"

Charlotte suddenly panicked.

She admitted to herself that her possessiveness over Liam had exceeded what most people would tolerate.

Even her deliberate targeting of Serena was driven by the fear that Liam would develop a liking for her.

"I may not understand love, but I know that a relationship between two people needs balance. The more you try to bind him, the more he will want to escape; haven’t you noticed that Big Brother has always been avoiding you?"

When Serena said these words, it was not because she sympathized with Charlotte, but rather because she speculated that if things continued like this, Liam might not be able to bear it.

Although Liam was mild-mannered, he was definitely not someone who would let others control him.

"Big Brother has been groomed to be the head of the Shaw Family from a young age, his courteous manner towards people is drilled into his bones, it doesn’t mean that he likes to be controlled," Serena reminded in a low voice.

"What should I do?" Charlotte asked, her eyebrows knitted and her eyes looking pathetically at Serena.

Serena slowly shook her head, "I don’t know, I can only tell you so much. Whether you can end up together or not depends on your fate."

Serena did not want to interfere too much in the love lives of others.

Her words today were both a reminder and a warning.

Charlotte lowered her gaze and began to seriously ponder Serena’s words.

As they talked, they had already walked to the school gates.

Charlotte took a deep breath, trying to shake off her mood, "Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore! Let’s go have a meal first!"

Seeing her puffed-up appearance, Serena couldn’t help but laugh.

"Look, there’s a luxury car at the gate!"

Suddenly, Charlotte excitedly pulled on her sleeve, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"That car just stopped at the gate, it must be here to pick someone up. I wonder who is so lucky..." Charlotte’s eyes were filled with envy.

Serena looked closely, and was momentarily stunned.

Just when Serena was contemplating whether to make a getaway, the car door opened from the inside.

A man dressed in a black suit with an upright figure slowly walked towards them.

"Look, look! Isn’t he walking towards us?"

Charlotte’s tone was full of excitement, and if it weren’t for the fact that there were quite a few students around, she would have definitely screamed out loud.

Serena Summers: "..."

Serena Summers lowered her eyes, her gaze lingering on the hand tugging at the hem of her coat for a moment before she helplessly held her forehead.

It’s not the god-like opponents you fear, but teammates who are like pigs.

With Charlotte Summers clinging to her, it was hard for her to even think of escaping.

Serena Summers managed a slight smile, watching as the man slowly approached and stopped in front of her.

The man bowed respectfully, his voice sincere, "Miss."

Assistant Young’s actions attracted the attention of many passersby.

Many people stopped in their tracks, turning their gaze towards Serena Summers.

Curiosity and gossip filled their eyes.

Even Charlotte Summers beside her froze, her eyes filled with astonishment.

Serena Summers squeezed out a forced smile, "Assistant Young, there’s no need for courtesy. What brings you here? Did the eldest apprentice brother also come?"

Assistant Young spoke respectfully: "President Selwyn is currently discussing a collaboration with partners and sent me ahead."

Good, she had successfully dodged a bullet.

Serena Summers slowly let out a breath of relief.

"Assistant Young, what brought you here?"

Assistant Young is Edward Selwyn’s assistant, having followed Edward for many years with strong work abilities, greatly valued by Edward.

Assistant Young quickly took out a smartphone and a black wallet from his pocket, extending them to Serena Summers.

"President Selwyn said that Miss had left the house without bringing anything and was worried you might be inconvenienced outside, so he specially tasked me to deliver the phone and wallet to you."

Serena Summers glanced indifferently.

The phone was the one she used before being taken back to the Summers Family.

The wallet, a light purple foldable model, looked plump, likely filled with several auxiliary cards and cash.

Serena Summers helplessly accepted the phone and returned the wallet to Assistant Young.

"Tell eldest apprentice brother that I’m fine in the Shaw Family; I don’t need the money."

"Miss, please don’t make it difficult for me. If you don’t accept the wallet, I won’t be able to report back to President Selwyn," insisted Assistant Young firmly.

Serena Summers sighed helplessly and had no choice but to accept the wallet.

She opened the wallet for a glance; inside were five cards.

One was an unlimited supplementary card from Edward Selwyn, another a black card applicable to high-end brands in major shopping malls around the world, and one an exclusive card for receiving monthly dividends from Horizon Group.

The other two were Serena Summers’s own bank cards.

Any of the cards here could shock people if taken out individually.

However, Serena Summers carelessly tossed it into her bag without a second thought.

Charlotte Summers’s eyes widened in shock.

She swallowed quietly before asking softly, "Who is... President Selwyn?"

Wasn’t Serena Summers from the countryside?

How did she know someone like President Selwyn?

Only then did Assistant Young shift his gaze onto Charlotte Summers.

He explained with a smile, "Our President Selwyn is the founder and CEO of Horizon Group, Edward Selwyn."

Charlotte Summers suddenly gasped in shock, almost fainting.

Horizon Group?

The Horizon Group she was thinking of?

The one that quickly took over half the market in S City in just a few years and competes in strength with Shaw Group?

Assistant Young seemed to guess what was on Charlotte Summers’s mind and explained with a smile, "It’s the Horizon Group you’re thinking of."
