"Stop pretending!?" Sarah stormed in, furious. "Next week, Cole is hosting his engagement party! He's getting engaged to that arrogant Regina! This is huge news—how can you, as Hugh's wife, not know about it?"
She added, "Since you knew, why didn't you tell me? Now I don't even have time to turn things around!"
She screamed hysterically, gripping her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white. On the screen, the news of Cole's engagement was glaringly displayed.
Serena was taken aback—this was the first time she'd heard of it. But then again, she and Hugh had gotten married the day they met.
So, since the rumors of Cole and Regina's arranged marriage had already been circulating for a few days. It didn't seem particularly rushed now that they were officially getting engaged.
She remained unfazed, lazily crossing her arms and leaning against the doorframe.
"The Larson family never goes back on their word. I only just married into the family—what influence do you think I have?
"Besides, if you had managed to win over Cole earlier, Regina wouldn't even be in the picture. Not only did you fail to keep him, but you also had to find out about his engagement from an outsider. That just proves he never cared about you.
"And even if you do somehow manage to get him, you still won't be able to keep him."
With that, she checked the time and brushed past Sarah, ready to leave and continue handling Amber Group's affairs.
But Sarah grabbed her wrist again. "Serena—"
Her voice was trembling, laced with desperation. "If we both marry into the Larson family, it's a win-win for us! As long as you take me to the Larson family, I can definitely make Cole change his mind. Please, I'm begging you…"
Howard also stepped forward. "Serena, she's your sister after all. Helping her with Cole will also give you an ally in the Larson family."
Serena stopped.
