Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 317

If only he hadn't annoyed Calvin while he was recovering… Maybe Serena really could've smoothed things over with Hugh and Calvin.

The thought hit Howard like a slap to the face. And the next moment, he took it out on Sarah. With a sharp glare, he raised his hand and delivered a ringing slap across her cheek.

"This is all your fault, you wretch! Throwing yourself at him like that and pissing off Mr. Larson Senior… Now look at what you've done. You've sealed the fate of Jansen Group!"

Sarah clutched her face and wailed even harder. She never imagined her recklessness would have led to this.

After realizing that the Larson family was no longer an option, Howard turned his attention to Serena.

"Nina, I admit it. This whole mess started because I listened to Sarah, not once, but twice. But I'm still your father. And Jansen Group… Your mom poured her heart into it, too. You can't just stand there and watch us fall, right?"

What a drastic shift in attitude. Serena didn't say a word. She wanted to see what he would try next.

Howard strode down urgently toward her with a warm expression—almost unnervingly so. When he reached her, he gripped her shoulders with both hands.

Howard's eyes were filled with a tenderness she hadn't seen in years. "Nina, Amber Group has been making a fortune lately, right?"

"If you're willing to use some of those funds to cover Jansen Group's current losses, everything can be salvaged.

"You'll still be the rightful heiress of the Jansen family, and as Mrs. Larson, you'll be able to stand tall without having to answer to anyone. That's something good right?"

As Howard spoke, he gave her shoulder a squeeze, putting on the act of a loving, thoughtful father.
