Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 145

"No," Serena replied firmly.

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 name won'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.

The 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 remember me when you need something. Do you think you can keep stringing me along with empty promises? I'm not falling for it."

"Nina! Fine. I'm okay with you not wanting to build a memorial. Just tell me what 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 studio before 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?
