Serena was pleased with the oue. After all, Amber Group couldn''t handle the major project Calvin had given them, so taking it would be pointless. However, she was determined to reim Amber''s assets one by one.


    She lightly tapped Hugh''s palm, and his gaze softened slightly.


    "That''s settled then."


    With that, he didn''t even bother acknowledging anyone and confidently walked out of the Jansen residence with Serena.


    As soon as they got into the car, before Hugh could ask if her wound hurt, Serena had already leaned in with a faint smile. "Thank you for arriving in time today."


    Otherwise, even if she could have left unscathed, she wouldn''t have been able to reim Amber''s assets.


    Hugh watched as her smiling face drew closer. After a brief pause, he looked away somewhat awkwardly and buckled her seatbelt for her. "Don''t run around when you''re unwell. Go back and rest properly."


    "Alright." Serena let him fasten her seatbelt, though she was inwardly surprised.


    It turned out Hugh would actually help someone fasten their seatbelt. She couldn''t help but think if he had done that for other women as well. Curiosity swirled in her mind, but exhaustion soon took over, and she drifted into deep sleep.


    Throughout the journey, Hugh''s gaze never once left her.


    A few dayster, Rachel returned home to find Sarah with a head injury and one of their vis missing. She was so furious that she nearly fainted.


    She stormed into Howard''s study and burst into tears. "Howard, I just lost a son, and now you''re bullying my only daughter?"


    Startled, Howard quickly stepped forward to support her. "How did I bully Sarah? She was the one who got involved with Serena and ended up hitting the cab. Who can she me for that?"


    Rachel was momentarily speechless but quickly regained herposure. She leaned into Howard''s arms.


    "We''ve both spoiled Sarah too much. But the doctor said that if I take good care of my health, I might be able to conceive again. Howard, didn''t you buy a vi when you had a child with Amber? Maybe if you buy me one too, our son wille back to us."


    She hooked her arms around Howard''s neck and kissed his chin, gazing at him with deep affection.


    After all, the vi Serena had imed was the one Howard had bought for Amber when she was pregnant. Using that as a reason was perfectly justified.


    Rachel sessfully diverted Howard''s thoughts. The idea that the child who was never born could have been a son filled him with regret.


    Her words made his heart itch with anticipation, and after a brief hesitation, he asked, "Could we really have a son again?"


    "Well, it''s just a matter of whether you''re willing to spend the money." Rachel gazed at him expectantly and went on about how hard it had been for her to lose the baby.


    Caught between his love for Rachel and his desire for a son, Howard gave in without much thought. "Alright. I''ll buy it."


    "Howard, you''re so good to me." Overjoyed, Rachel convinced him to splurge on an outrageously pricey vi.


    Nestled in the suburban riverside, it was a neighborhood where only the richest resided. However, Rachel didn''t spare the vi a single nce and simply told Sarah, "Find someone reliable and sell the vi."


    Sarah hesitated as she flipped through the brochure, and she felt tempted. "But isn''t it a loss to sell such a great vi?"


    If she could live in a ce like that, she''d finally be able to blend in with upper- ss socialites. Then, no one would dare whisper behind her back that she was the daughter of a mistress.
