If they managed to get in using Serena's name, Rachel and Sarah could find a way to pocket some money.
And if Serena's influence wasn't enough and they got kicked out, it would prove she wasn't as important as she seemed. When she came for a visit, they could make her suffer for it.
Either way, Sarah stood to gain. She was certain of her victory.
Howard, convinced by Rachel and Sarah, got up and headed straight for the hospital.
Calvin's ward was heavily guarded. Over a dozen bodyguards stood watch, leaving no room for intruders.
Howard approached with a flattering smile. "We're Serena's parents. This is Sarah, her sister. Serena has been busy with work and couldn't make it, so she asked us to check in on Mr. Larson Senior on her behalf. We also brought some supplements for him. Could you let him know we're here?"
At the mention of Serena's name, the guards visibly relaxed.
After confirming their identities, one of them finally said, "Mr. Larson Senior is undergoing a check-up right now. You'll need to wait before going in. Please hand over your items for inspection and take a seat over there," one of them said.
The guards remained efficient and composed.
Howard, Rachel, and Sarah had no choice but to sit on a nearby bench.
Rachel shifted uncomfortably, muttering, "The Larsons really think they're royalty, making people line up just to visit."
Sarah sneered with her nose in the air. "So much for Serena's so-called influence. Just wait till I marry Cole. I'd never let you two sit outside like this!"
"That's my girl." Rachel's mood finally brightened.
