"I want to go home and rest. Goodbye," Serena said, turning to leave.
"Wait!" Sarah and Regina called out simultaneously.
Sarah trembled as she was grabbed, her hands restrained behind her. "Serena, you can''t leave me here alone!"
Disgusted, Regina stuffed a tissue in Sarah''s mouth and walked toward Serena. "I misunderstood you earlier, and I want to thank you. Although the engagement is set in stone, I really don''t want anything to do with those bastards. You saved me, so how do you want me to repay you?"
At least she was a sensible woman. Serena didn''t mind Regina''s attitude and shrugged casually.
"It was nothing. It''s just a small favor. But remember, because someone drugged you and got detained, if word gets out before the engagement, it could damage your reputation."
Regina raised an eyebrow, even more confused. "So, you want me to go easy on Sarah?"
"No," Serena said with a faint smile, her eyes glinting with meaning as she nced at Sarah.
"She''ll suffer the most when she can''t get what she desires the most. The more she tries to ruin your engagement, the more grandly you''ll proceed with your wedding. That''s true revenge-by destroying her from within."
With that, Serena walked away gracefully.
Sarah red at her retreating figure, her teeth clenched in rage.
Regina also watched Serena''s back, finding her personality quite interesting. A thought crossed her mind, and she immediately ordered her friends. "On your sister''s behalf, I''ll let you go this time."
"Really?" Sarah''s face lit up with a smile.
The moment her hands were freed, she rushed off, disappearing into the crowd.
Regina settled back into her seat, her drunkenness fading away. One of her socialite friends asked, "Did you really let her go that easily? She was trying to drug you!"
"Hmph! Of course, it''s not that simple," Regina replied with a smile. "She''s always using her dad as her shield.
"Serena''s words just gave me a great idea. If I destroy what''s most important to her, that''s true revenge. Tomorrow, I''m going to pay the Jansen family a visit."
The next day, Serena was woken up early by Howard''s call.
"Look at what happened to Sarah! You didn''t help her, and you even allowed others to bully her in front of everyone. Serena, if you don''te back today and apologize to Sarah, I''ll make sure to take away all the projects from Amber Group!"
Serena wasn''t surprised. The only thing Sarah knew how to do was cry and run to Howard for help.
Shezily got out of bed and changed her clothes before driving slowly back to the Jansen residence.
To her surprise, another car was parked across the street. She got out of the car just as Regina stepped out of hers.
Regina said, "What a coincidence, my savior."
Serena was confused as to why Regina was there.
They both entered the house at the same time. Howard, who had been angry over the phone just moments ago, immediately changed his expression to one of forced smiles when he saw Regina.
"Ms. Arnold, what a pleasant surprise. Are you interested in one of our Jansen Group''s projects?"
Regina''s gaze passed over Howard''s shoulder andnded on Sarah. "Even if there''s a potential deal, it''s been ruined by your precious daughter."
