Anna lifted an eyebrow. "If Mr. Larson lets his feelings cloud his judgment and fails to investigate properly, what then?"


    "If I were someone who would cover up for my stepsister, your daughter would never have spoken so well of me in front of you."


    Serena, fearing that Hugh might get dragged into this mess, quickly stepped up to defend him.


    Anna gave her a meaningful look. "A Jansen has no credibility to me."


    Before Serena coulde up with a second argument, Hugh had already moved between her and Anna, speaking calmly. "Will my grandfather''s reputation and mine be enough to vouch for Serena?"


    As soon as he finished his words, the entire hospital room fell intoplete silence, the tension so thick one could hear a pin drop.


    Howard and his family looked utterly stunned.


    They wondered what Serena had that she could have both Hugh and Calvin stake their reputations on her?


    Even Anna looked slightly surprised, ncing doubtfully at Calvin, as if to ask whether he truly trusted this granddaughter-inw so much.


    Calvin, seeing how fiercely his grandson protected Serena, closed his eyes and respondedzily, "What Hugh says is my words."


    That was aplete trust in Hugh and Serena.


    Anna, understanding the etiquette, no longer pressed aggressively and agreed to the arrangement.


    The Jansen family trio quietly let out a breath of relief, already looking for a chance to slip away.


    But Hugh said, "Since Mrs. Arnold suspects that the car ident was orchestrated by Sarah, let''s start the investigation from there."


    Sarah froze mid-step.


    She instinctively wanted to look over, but Rachel ruthlessly pinched her arm, her eyes cold and full of warning as if saying, "If you want to stay hidden, act natural!"


    Sarah, jolted by the fierce re, forced herself to suppress her terror and kept her head down.


    Anna nodded. "The Larson family has powerful resources. I''ll trouble you to retrieve the surveince


    footage. As for reviewing the


    evidence, please allow our family to


    inspect it as well."


    "Sure." Hugh nodded, and right there, in front of Calvin, he directly instructed his people to handle it.


    Only then did Anna seem somewhat satisfied.


    The Larson family would use their connections to retrieve surveince. As for investigating how Regina had really gotten into the ident, Anna nned to have her own trusted people dig into it.


    With this arrangement settled, Anna finally agreed to leave.


    Hugh went to arrange doctors and gifts to be sent to Regina, while Serena took


    the Jansen family trio out of the hospital room.


    Standing in the corridor, she cast a cold nce at Sarah.


    "If you really did it, you''d bettere forward and confess. If the Arnold family finds out first, even the Larson family won''t be able to protect you."


    "You''re my sister! How could you just side with outsiders and suspect me?" Sarah shrieked, drenched in cold sweat.


    Serena frowned. "I''m just giving you a reminder. Why are you shouting like you''re the guilty one? Was it really you?"


    The hospital room door behind them opened, then shut again.


    Hugh had just stepped out. "The surveince footage will be delivered to the Arnold family in two hours. When the truthes out, everyone will see for themselves."


    After speaking, he shot Sarah a chilling, sinister look.


    Sarah felt the cold seep into her bones.


    "It''s over!" she thought to herself.
