She stood up, ready to leave.
Howard shot to his feet with both hands pressed against the table.
"Nina, you're my daughter. We can talk this through! I just need you to put in a good word for Jansen Group in front of Zach. If you're willing to help, I promise your Mom's nwon't be erased from our family's history. I'll even build her a separate memorial, exactly the way she would have wanted. Will that do?" He sounded almost desperate.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe day of the bidding, he had watched with his own eyes as Zach chased after Serena's car.
Whether it was lingering affection or guilt driving Zach's actions, it didn't matter. As long as Zach still had feelings for her, this could work.
If they could win him over, they would secure Foster Group's partnership and investment, and that was the only thing keeping Jansen Group afloat.
Serena halted mid-step and let out a sharp laugh. "You only rememberwhen you need something. Do you think you can keep stringingalong with empty promises? I'm not falling for it." "Nina! Fine. I'm okay with you not wanting to build a memorial. Just tellwhat you want! As long as you're willing to meet Zach for a meal, I'll agree to anything!" Howard almost lunged across the table to block her path, desperation written all over his face.
Only then did Serena finally turn around. She asked, "Anything?" "A-As long as it's within my power!" Howard replied, gritting his teeth.
Silence hung between them. A bead of sweat traced down Howard's temple as he waited for her response.
"I want Amber Group." Amber Group was a subsidiary of Jansen Group, named after Serena's mother as a tribute. It had once been Amber's porcelain stubefore evolving into an industrial company. As the business changed, the traces of Amber had slowly disappeared.
However, Amber Group was currently struggling. Its profits were dwindling, and it was on the verge of shutting down.
Howard's eyes lit up. He had been looking for an excuse to close the company for good, and now Serena wanted to claim it? What a coincidence! "Fine. I'll have the contract drafted right away and transfer Amber Group to your name." "Your word is final." Serena nodded and left without a second thought.
Howard let out a mocking laugh, murmuring to himself, "Like mother, like daughter, huh? A company that just happens to share her name, and she's already trapped herself in it." On the other side of the door, Serena smirked as she walked away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid Howard really think she wanted the company just because of its name? Like her porcelain work, the business Amber had once built still held its true value, even in her absence. Amber Group's potential would far exceed Howard's imagination.
Another long day passed.
Exhausted, Serena returned home, washed up, and got ready to rest. She had just taken off her jacket when a knock sounded at the door.
She opened the door and found herself face-to-face with Hugh.
Hugh stood at the door, sweat shairat dampening his hair at his temple, yet his expression remained composed.
He pretended to be calm as he said, "I have an urgent meeting overseas, and my flight leaves in an hour."
Serena was taken aback. Her fingers tightened around the doorknob e before she even realized it. The m content is on novelenglish.net! With so little time, he had still gone out of his way to chere? She was worried that he wouldn't make it to the airport in time.
"You're barely going to make it. You should've just called instead of coming all this way..." Hugh looked into her eyes with an intense gaze. "I'm just stopping by to grab something." Oh, so it wasn't intentional. He was just stopping by to grab his things.
