Howard still wanted to re-enter the hospital room and try to plead his case even after being chased out into the hallway. However, several bodyguards stood firmly in his way.
Serena gently closed the door to the room and stared coldly at Howard past the tall, imposing bodyguards.
"Will you only see what's right and wrong after Grandpa has totally crushed the Jansen Group?"
"Serena!" Howard struggled against the blockade of bodyguards, his eyes bloodshot. "I'm your father! Mr. Larson Senior is just your husband's grandfather. If you want his approval, you might as well help me and your sister. It's for your future too..."
"My future?" Serena chuckled instead of getting angry. She fixed a sharp gaze on Howard, Rachel, and Sarah, then said, "Perhaps you should worry about your own future!
"The projects the Larson family compensated you with before were worth a lot, but after being poured into the Jansen Group, it was like tossing them into a bottomless pit. The deeper Jansen Group sinks, the darker your future will be.
"You can barely fend for yourselves, yet you have the nerve to preach about my future? Besides, the more desperate you are to push Sarah forward, the more disgusted Grandpa will feel.
"Have you learned nothing after all these years, Dad? Do you not understand even something this basic?"
Every word struck right at the heart.
Howard's face turned pale from the onslaught. He had indeed never thought about it that way.
At that time, both Sarah and Rachel had been desperate to climb the social ladder. They were afraid Cole would marry another woman, so he rushed over in a panic.
Now that he had calmed down, he realized Serena wasn't wrong.
Howard immediately began to blame his wife and daughter. "It's all your fault, the both of you! What were you so anxious about? Look what you've caused now!"
Rachel immediately burst into tears. "I only did it for Sarah's future! If she does well, we can also enjoy our retirement. I had good intentions. How could that be wrong?"
Sarah, already fuming, snapped back the moment she got the chance.
