PopularNovelChapter 328 "I'm not interested. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back to Amber Group." Without even the slightest hesitation, Serena turned and walked away.
Pausing for even a second would have felt like an insult to the Jansen Group's collapsing stock prices. Howard hadn't expected her to leave so decisively. He shot up from his chair in a panic.
"Nina! Sweetheart, I'm begging you, alright? If it weren't for Sarah making a mess of the island project, Jansen Group wouldn't be hanging by a thread! I wouldn't be asking you to stoop so low and to beg for help! "We're family, for goodness sake! Are you really going to just stand there and watchfall? That won't do you any good either!" Hmph. Funny how he had conveniently skipped over Voyage Group's embezzlement scandal.
Serena didn't even flinch. She just walked faster, not sparing him so much as a glance.
But as she was about to step out, Howard completely lost it.
"Don't you dare walk away! You might not care about me, but what about your mother? Listen to me, your mother's last unfinished porcelain piece is still in my hands. If you refuse to help me, I'll sell it off the moment I get home!" Serena froze mid-step.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHer mother's unfinished porcelain... Wasn't that Amber's final masterpiece before she passed away? For a brief moment, she just stood there, stunned. Then, slowly, she turned to face Howard with her eyes colder than ice.
"How much longer are you planning to suck her dry?" she asked.
"She loved me! She gave it towillingly! Not like you, an ungrateful brat who married into the Larson family and forgot her own blood-related family!" Howard slammed his hands on the table as his face was dark with fury. "If you want your mother's porcelain piece, bringthe deal. Otherwise, I'll toss her masterpiece onto the auction block and save Jansen Group with the cash! "Serena. You can either stand by and watch a bunch of collectors snatch up your mother's work... or you can save your father and keep this family together. It's your choice." Serena felt like the air had been punched out of her lungs.
True artisans who could truly honor Amber's work would never have enough money to outbid the collectors.
And those so-called collectors...
Even if they won the porcelain piece, they'd only lock it away, untouched, never finishing the masterpiece Amber had left behind.
How could she just watch that happen? Her hands curled into tight fists. "I'll do it." "That's my good girl..." Howard immediately pasted on a bright smile.
But before he could say another word, Serena had already stormed out and slammed the door behind her hard enough to rattle the walls.
Howard clicked his tongue, annoyed by her attitude. But thinking of t him, he forced himself to lexae! project she had promised to it go.
Business cfirst. Let the little ingrate throw her tantrums if she wanted.
Off to the side, Sarah sneered mockingly. "Serena, no matter how capable you are, in the end, you're still dancing in the palm of Dad's hand." Serena made her way to the Larson Group, taking the initiative to find Hugh.
The secretarial staff, already instructed by Chandler, recognized her immediately and ushered her warmly to a private lounge.
"Please make yourself comfortable, Ms. Jansen. Mr. Larsonjis stilbin al meeting and M. Moore is with him. En.

The secretaries withdrew to the pantry nearby, leaving Serena alone in the quiet space.
Waiting was always tedious. She leaned back against the couch, idly wondering if she should try to grab a quick nap.
A soft knock sounded at the door.
Serena turned at the noise, and Cole sauntered in. Gone was his usual slouchy, reckless demeanor.
Today, he was dressed sharply in a brown-gray three-piece suit, his hair slicked back neatly, looking almost respectable. Without so much as a second thought, he crossed the room andet dropped into the seat next to her, completely ignoring the concept of personal space.
Serena instinctively shifted a little farther away. "Can I help you?" she asked.
