PopularNovelChapter 221 Regina was still shaken, and her legs wobbled. After taking a few steps and sipping swine, she felt utterly exhausted.
She clung to Cole's arm and weakly whispered, "Cole, let's take a break for a moment." Cole smiled and nodded, but his hand suddenly jerked away from Regina's grip.
It was frustrating. She acted so timid, always clinging to him in fear-just like the pet cat at home.

Their eyes met. Cole's heart stirred.
This kind of woman was the one who should be kept by his side.
Serena, thinking Cole and Regina were just young and scared from earlier, instinctively offered sreassurance. "It was just a small mishap, don't worry." "Okay," Cole replied obediently.
Serena remembered that his gaze always seemed a bit odd when it landed on her. She added, "I promise, there won't be any mistakes at your wedding ceremony." Cole's obedient expression faltered a little, but he didn't respond.
Just then, Melissa suddenly screamed, rushing toward Serena, not even caring that Cole was still standing nearby. She grabbed Serena's wrist and pulled her toward the exit.
"So, it's your sister who caused all this trouble! I'm going to the Jansen residence to ask your half-sister why she's trying to ruin Cole's engagement party!" "Wait!" Serena was surprised to learn that Sarah was behind this. Her eyes narrowed.

Cole remained silent. He could only watch as Serena was pulled away by Hugh, noticing the red marks on her wrist where Melissa had gripped her. He was disgusted by Melissa's brutality, especially since those marks were now on Serena's wrist. Serena rubbed her wrist but didn't notice Cole's gaze.
Standing between them, Hugh blocked Cole's view as he said coldly, "You should let us handle this. Go back to your fiancée." The coldness in Hugh's eyes was chilling.
Cole felt a lump tighten in his throat. He quickly avoided Hugh's gaze and turned to walk away.
Melissa shot Serena a glare. "Serena, you said you'd taketo your sister. Are you going back on your word?"
"I'll keep my word, but you should know when to ease ease off can take off you there, but i'm not your punching bag."

She was determined to tear off the clingy leech attached to Cole.
