Serena nced at the limited-edition luxury bag in Sarah''s hands.


    "That new bag is nice. Since I''ve just taken over Amber Group, I can use it to make a strong impression. Would you be willing to part with it, Sarah?"


    "Not a chance!"


    Sarah was stunned. Taking the sliding doors was one thing, but now Serena had her eyes on her luxury goods too? What gave her the right?


    Before Sarah could snap back, Rachel gritted her teeth as she grabbed the bag and tossed it to Serena.


    "It''s just a bag. Consider it a gift from me to celebrate your new position!"


    "Mom! How could you take her side? I''m your daughter. I waited over six months for that bag! How could you just..."


    Sarah was both shocked and furious, stomping her feet in frustration. She even wondered if Rachel had been possessed. If not, why else would she give anything to Serena?


    Rachel had no way to exin herself, so she forced out a response. "I''ll buy you another er!"


    "That''s a limited-edition bag! You can''t just buy another one!" Sarah shrieked.


    Annoyed by the noise, Serena slung the bag over her wrist and brushed past Rachel.


    "Thanks for the gift, Ms. Lloyd, Sarah. Oh, and don''t forget the door locks, guys. Amber Group needs to save every penny it can."


    "Got it! We''ll make sure to bring the locks and keys too."


    The moving crew responded enthusiastically, efficiently dismantling everyst piece.


    Howard, Rachel, and Sarah stood in the now-empty top floor, staring at each other in disbelief.


    Sarah, who was on the verge of tears, finally broke down.


    "She could just take the equipment. But Mom, why did you give her my bag too?"


    "It''s just a damn bag!" Rachel yanked Sarah aside, gritting her teeth. "Once Amber Group starts making money and contributes to Jansen Group, I''ll buy you ten more!"


    The promise of more luxury bags finally got Sarah to hold back her tantrum. Howard was confused by Rachel''s sudden shift in attitude. But he soon figured it must be because Serena still had value to them.


    If Rachel was even willing to sacrifice Sarah''s handbag, she had to really have Jansen Group''s best interests at heart.


    He would make sure to treat Rachel well from now on. His gaze grew tender as he looked at her.


    However, Rachel felt a chill run down her spine under his stare.


    Why was Howard looking at her like that? Did he suspect something? Should she just y dumb?


    ...


    While the couple was lost in their own thoughts, Serena returned to Amber Group to pay the remaining employees.


    After settling the payroll, thepany''s ount was left with only a few thousand dors.


    Alicia frowned. "Should I return the car I bought yesterday?"


    "No need. We''ll cover the deficit with this."


    Serena called in an appraiser to sell the handbag.


    It was a limited-edition piece, avable only by special order. It required spending


    hundreds of thousand just to qualify for purchase.


    The appraiser inspected it and immediately offered five figures.


    "A single bag costs that much?" Alicia was stunned.


    "Deal." Serena made the decision on the spot.


    Ten minutester, the money was in their ount, enough to cover next month''s sries and office expenses.


    Alicia was floored by the sheer extravagance of wealthy people''s lives.


    Even Amber Group''s marketing manager, Chris Sanford, was just as shaken.


    He was the only remaining mid-level manager at Amber Group.


    "Taking the office chairs andputers was one thing, but you even brought the sliding doors, locks, and rails?"


    "Yeah." Serena nodded, testing out one of the premium chairs. It wasfortable.


    She gestured for Chris to take a seat at the manager''s desk.


    "Chris, in the old Amber Group, connections were everything. You had the skills but never got the promotion you deserved. But I guarantee you, in this new Amber Group, you''ll get exactly what you deserve. It''ll all start now."
