Chapter 625

“Aunt Rachel, I didn’t drive and took Shawn’s car here. It’d be great if you could arrange for the chauffeur to drive me back to the shop.”

Holding back her anger, Mrs. Lowe summoned a maid to arrange the ride for Jasmine with the chauffeur.

Once Jasmine was gone, Mrs. Lowe slapped her son and lashed out, “Shawn, are you trying to infuriate me? Serenity is three years older than you. She doesn’t come from a good family. Are you blind to fall for her?”

“Aren’t you fond of Serenity, Mom?

“So what if she’s older? It’s not like she’s thirty years older than I am. How is it that she doesn’t come from a good family? Her family isn’t involved in the mafia. She comes from a family of farmers, not criminals.”

Mrs. Lowe grimaced. “I like her and see her as another niece of mine because of Jasmine. I’m only fond of her on the condition that she doesn’t get involved with you.

“I wouldn’t have allowed you two to spend time together had I known what was going on in your head.

“You better give up on your feelings, Shawn. Even if Serenity wasn’t married, I wouldn’t let anything develop between you two. Serenity’s relatives are bloodsuckers. Anybody would. be unlucky to be acquainted with that family.

“Serenity lost her parents early in life. I admit that she’s a nice girl, but she’s not for you. She doesn’t deserve you. You’re the heir of the Lowe family and the successor of Lowe Enterprise. Your wife must be someone who is born into privilege.

“What can Serenity help you with? Nothing. I won’t allow you to marry someone without social standing. We might ignore her relatives and refuse to see them as in-laws, but it won’t stop her relatives from using our family name to get around and ride on our coattails. It’ll only give our family a bad name.”

Shawn refuted, “I like Serenity, Mom. I’m not asking her for anything, nor do I need her to help me with anything. Everybody knows that she doesn’t get along with her relatives. Those people can’t possibly claim to be our in-laws and destroy our family’s reputation.

“Mom, I really, really love Serenity. Can you…”

“No! Don’t ask me for anything! I won’t ever give my blessing so long as it involves Serenity! Besides, Serenity’s married. She has a husband. Your harassment makes you a homewrecker!

“I’m warning you, Shawn! Don’t blame me for going after Serenity if you continue to pester her.”

Color drained from Shawn’s face. “This has nothing to do with Serenity, Mom.”

“I don’t care. Her presence alone has distracted my son and made a homewrecker out of my son. I want to make her pay. I’ll make sure she has to skip town if you’re not going to grow up!”

Shawn stared at his cruel and heartless mother in shock.

Not too long ago, his mother said that she was fond of Serenity.

His mother sang a different tune now that she found out about his love for Serenity.

“From now on, I’ll have security with you 24/7. I’ll get her shop trashed if I catch you sneaking off to the shop to see Serenity. I’ll force her out of Wiltspoon, together with her sister, her nephew, and her husband.

“You better get over your feelings if you really love her and want the best for her, Shawn. Don’t do anything to come in between her marriage, or I’ll have to keep my word!”

Shawn was as white as a sheet.

He stared blankly at his mother, harking back to Jasmine’s words. Jasmine mentioned that despite his mother’s adoration for Serenity, his mother would turn against Serenity the moment the truth was out about his feelings for Serenity.

It was true.

So, no one was on his side about his thing for Serenity?

“Mom…”

Shawn struggled as he said, “Don’t give Serenity a hard time. Please don’t do anything to hurt Serenity.

I-I’ll try… I’ll try to let go of my feelings for her.”

It did not matter to him to be called a homewrecker for interfering with Serenity’s marriage. Shawn believed he and Serenity were meant to be together since he knew Serenity early in life. The timing was the only thing that held them back. However, he could not bear to watch his mother harm Serenity.
