Quentin also greeted Tommy.
Then, leaving Serena and Wendy downstairs to reminisce, Quentin took Tommy to the dormitory first.
New York Media University's accommodation conditions were excellent. Two people shared a room with a separate bathroom, balcony, and a small cubicle.
Downstairs, Wendy whispered into Serena's ear, "Hey, woman, are you really married?"
Serena nodded and took out the necklace around her neck to show her. "Wedding ring, do you see it?" She had asked someone to string this necklace. The ring was too conspicuous on her hand, so she had someone string it and hang it around her neck.
Wendy stared at the ring with her eyes wide open. "I wasn't sure when you posted the picture last time, but now that I've looked at it carefully. I'm sure."
"Serena, you married a big shot."
"What's wrong?" Serena didn't know how Wendy could be so sure with this ring.
Wendy explained, "The gem on your ring is Spirit of the Deep Sea. It had just been published in a magazine some time ago. Because of its excellent color, high quality, and high difficulty in mining, it was very rare, so it was not available on the market now."
"And I'm sure the gemstone carved into this ring is bigger than the one in the magazine!"
Wendy pinched Serena's slim waist. "Tell me. Who is your husband?"
Serena sighed. The Stern family was indeed the leader of the jewelry business. Wendy's keen senses really made her feel inferior.
"Don't be scared if I tell you." Serena blinked.
Wendy quickly nodded.
"My husband is James," Serena said and waited for Wendy's reaction.
Wendy's face stiffened. She looked at Serena as if she was looking at a ghost and said stiffly, "Is it the James I am thinking of?"
Although the descendant of the Nelson direct family was hidden at the top of Dragon Mountain, the noble families in the upper class still remembered the name of the descendant of the Nelson direct family clearly.
The next Patriarch of the Nelson family, James.
Serena nodded. Wendy hurriedly took a few steps back, unable to believe what she was hearing. "Serena, don't be kidding, okay?" Not to mention how Serena married James, just the fact that Serena was related to James was enough to make Wendy's hair stand on end.
More than ten years had passed, but the rumor was still clear and shocking.
The aristocrats in the upper class feared that person, but there were countless young ladies who loved his power.
After all, that was the Nelson family, New York's number one aristocratic family. It had relatives all over the country and even abroad. It had a huge family business. Becoming James's wife was equivalent to owning half of the Nelson family.
Serena shook her head. "I'm serious. And no one forced me to do it. My husband treats me quite well." Not only was he good, but he was also obedient.
Wendy had a complicated look on her face. Seeing that Serena was serious, she did not seem to be faking it. After a long time, she said, "Then you know...those rumors?"
Actually, Wendy didn't really understand it either. After all, she hadn't heard any news about the descendant of the Nelson direct family ever since she became sensible. However, from the words of the elders, that descendant of the Nelson direct family was a monster.
Wendy was very worried that her good friend would be wronged.
"Wendy, he's very good. It is true. It is just that the rumors outside have misled you." Serena said seriously. He did not want outsiders to label James as a monster.
Gossip was a terrible thing. Serena knew better than anyone else the harm that gossip could bring. That was a weapon that was more powerful than anything else. It could easily destroy a person's psychological defense.
