Serena snapped out of her thoughts about Rachel''s pregnancy and raised an eyebrow. "Is there something you need?"


    Regina said arrogantly, "It''s not easy for someone like you toe from a ce as messed up as the Jansen family. From now on, I''ll treat them as them and you as you. Goodbye."


    She waved her hand dismissively and left without a second thought, taking her people with her.


    Serena smiled, understanding Regina''s intentions. It seemed Regina was thanking her forst night''s events.


    But when Howard heard this, his interpretation was different. "Serena, when did you get so close to Regina? She seemed to have entered with you just now.


    "You''re still holding a grudge against Rachel for entering the family, aren''t you? Is that why you can''t stand your sister and are stirring up trouble in front of others, bringing them into our home to cause a scene?"


    The smile on Serena''s face remained. Internally, she was truly impressed with Howard''s way of thinking.


    She was d that she had saved a copy of the video fromst night, just in case. "You want to see how your precious daughter drugged Regina? Here, take a good look."


    She then opened the video and tossed the phone directly to Howard.


    Realizing the situation was getting out of hand, Sarah instinctively lunged to grab the phone. "Dad, don''t—"


    "Why are you feeling so guilty?" Howard grabbed the phone and swatted away Sarah as she lunged toward him.


    Sarah missed, tumbling onto the couch. When she looked up, she saw Howard''s face turning from red to pale, veins bulging on his hand as he gripped the phone tightly.


    In the video, Serena''s voice was heard, trying to stop Sarah. "It''ll ruin your reputation."


    Hearing Serena''s voice, Howard couldn''t bear to watch anymore. He threw the phone back into Serena''s hands, pointing at Sarah with a finger and shouting, "You dared to drug Regina! If her father finds out, I won''t be able to protect you!


    "You should be grateful your sister was there and managed to smooth things over. Otherwise, if you end up in jail, don''t even think about getting close to Cole. You wouldn''t even be able to find a regr man to marry!"


    Howard''s gaze suddenly shifted to Rachel. "How can you not teach your daughter right from wrong! If the child you''re carrying is a boy, who knows what kind of trouble he''ll get into?"


    Rachel, who had hoped her pregnancy would save her, slumped in defeat and began crying softly.


    Sarah followed suit, her face contorted in distress. "Dad, please keep watching the video. Serena isn''t helping me, she''s just trying to get back at me with Regina..."


    "Get back at you?" A cold, deep voice interrupted from the doorway.


    The maid hurriedly exined, "Mr. Larson said there was an urgent matter to discuss with Ms. Serena, so we brought him in."


    Hugh''s expression darkened as he walked forward. He looked around the chaotic living room, then naturally stepped up beside Serena.


    Extending his long arm, he casually draped it around her waist and cast a cold nce at Sarah. "Is there some deep-seated grudge between you and Serena that you had to bring up the phrase ''get back at you?'' Why don''t you tell me about it?"


    His words were light but suffocating, almost cutting Sarah off.


    "Deep-seated grudge?" Sarah thought.


    If they were to trace it all back, it would start from the moment Sarah and Rachel entered the family. It could be about selling Serena''s biological mother''s valuable porcin pieces and sowing discord in their father-daughter rtionship.


    There was no way Sarah would dare to speak of these things.


    Howard was sweating profusely and quickly spoke up, "Just some typical sibling bickering, nothing serious. Mr. Larson, what brings you here today so suddenly?


    "If I hadn''te today, I wouldn''t have known that some sibling squabbles could lead to a confrontation with the heirless of the Arnold family."


    Hugh''s gaze turned cold as he subtly raised his hand.


    Celeste stepped forward to exin, "Ms. Arnold came here to demand an exnation. Mr. Larson thought it was Mrs. Larson who had provoked her, which is why you urgently called her back, causing her to miss breakfast. That''s when Mr. Larson decided toe along."
