Howard said, "Rachel had a miscarriage. Your uncles have alle to visit, and they''ll be back for dinner tonight. The car is parked downstairs at the hospital."
There was no way for Serena to refuse. She reluctantly returned to the Jansen residence.
As expected, her uncles were already there, surrounding Sarah to offerfort.
"Your mom only had a miscarriage. She just needs some time to recover. After that, she''ll be able to have more children."
"Yes. Once your mom gives birth to a son for Howard, the Jansen Group will have an heir. Then, you won''t have to be married off to secure your future."
Sarah cried, surrounded by their reassurances. She hadpletely forgotten how close she hade to ruining Cole''s engagement party.
Serena couldn''t be bothered to pay attention to all that and was about to find Howard when Sarah suddenly said, "If it weren''t for Serena bringing that crazy woman into our house, my mom wouldn''t have fallen and gotten a miscarriage!"
In an instant, the rtives'' eyes all turned toward Serena.
Serena paused in her tracks. Trouble had already found her, so there was no need to hide anymore.
Turning her head, she sneered coldly. "You were the one who ruined someone else''s engagement ceremony first. If you had just stepped out and admitted your mistake, this matter could have been settled quietly.
"You always act so spineless, and because you refused to take responsibility, your mom lost her baby while trying to save you. You''re the one who caused this, but you''re now using me? Is your appearance more important than a son for the Jansen family?"
Serena''sst sentence made the uncles instantly fall silent. No matter how much they doted on Sarah, it was all for show.
Deep down, they were all men who valued sons over daughters. Some even wanted to pass their younger sons off to Howard as an adopted heir.
Sarah''s looks would never be more important than an heir.
Sarah was enraged when she heard this. "Serena, you''re already married into a good family. Do you want my face to be ruined by that crazy woman so that I won''t be able to marry anyone? How cruel of you, Serena!"
"Sarah, you ruined Cole''s engagement party. If Cole had fallen from that high tform, the whole Jansen family would have to pay the price for you! You''re not soft-hearted either."
Serena spoke calmly, her expression still indifferent. As soon as the words left her mouth, the rtives of the Jansen family were thrown into chaos.
"You ruined Cole''s engagement party?"
"Goodness! That''s the second heir to the Larson family, aside from Hugh! How dare you mess with him? Are you trying to get our family wiped out?"
Sarah looked shocked. She never expected the situation to turn so quickly.
Just moments ago, those same uncles who had been surrounding her, offering sympathy, now shrank back in fear at the mention of the Larson family.
She couldn''t argue with all these voices.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Howarding down the stairs. She was afraid that Howard would hear Serena''s words and have her confined again.
Remembering what had happened at the engagement party and how she had stained her fingers with blood just to unlock the window...
For Rachel''s six-million-dor debt and for her totch onto Cole, she couldn''t afford to be locked away again.
She squeezed out a couple of tears. "You''re right, Serena! I''m the sinner of the Jansen family. I''ll just end it all, so I don''t cause any more trouble for the uncles and Dad!"
She gritted her teeth and dashed straight into a nearby cab.
The rtives gasped, and Howard yelled in panic as he rushed down to catch Sarah, who had bloodied her head. He red at Serena with a venomous look.
"You brought that crazy woman into the house, and Rachel got a miscarriage. Now, you want to drive Sarah to death!
"Serena, how did the Jansen family ever raise such a devil like you? If I don''t teach you a lesson now, you won''t even remember your surname! Someone, bring the wooden ruler and belt here!"
