Chapter 175 "Well, you're not wrong," Howard said. He didn't like being kept in the dark, but he also felt that Rachel had a point.
Sensing the opportunity, Rachel pressed on. "Serena has taken over Amber Group, and with a new leader in place, she's making drastic changes. It really looks like she's trying to revive the company.
"The company was Amber's lifelong work. If Serena really brings it back to life and then slowly uses it to distance herself from the Jansen family's control, what will you do? You and Serena aren't on the sside-you have to be careful." Her words were laced with concern. It was as if she was thinking solely about Howard's best interests.
Howard failed to pick up on her deeper motives. Instead, he patted her hand reassuringly.

Serena fired all the employees, and there's no revenue or staff left to support the company. She won't be able to keep it running. Don't worry." The more confident Howard sounded, the more unsettled Rachel felt.
Life was unpredictable. Who knew what could happen? The best solution was to completely crush Serena. With that in mind, Rachel found an excuse to leave and secretly went to see Shania, who had been sent to a lounge.
Shania had just finished crying and making a scene. Now, she was freshening up, reapplying her makeup. The moment she saw Rachel, she remembered the slap Howard had given her earlier and couldn't be bothered to greet her.
Rachel, however, didn't take offense. "Shania, Howard is your cousin, and as his wife, the both of us are on your side. But you know that Serena has never sided with us. If she really decides to pursue legal action, Howard and I won't be able to stop her.
"That's why I cto remind you be careful. If she decides to investigate thoroughly, things could get out of hand. If that happens, even if we want to keep things private, she won't agree." Hearing this, Shania sprang up from her seat. "Rachel, you're joking, right? Serena is still young. There's no way you two-" "Serena managed to humiliate bothand Sarah even when she was alone at home. What do you think she'll do to you?" Rachel sighed, suddenly getting teary-eyed, as if she had suffered greatly.
Shania froze.
She knew how ruthless Rachel was. When Amber had just passed away, Rachel wasted no tin seizing power. And yet, even she couldn't control Serena? The realization sent a chill down Shania's spine. Then she remembered-her accounting books were still in the company. Without another word, she rushed out of the lounge, too anxious to even say goodbye.
Behind her, Rachel's lips curled into a smile. There wasn't a single tear in her eyes.
She hoped Shania would cause enough trouble to prevent Amber Group from operating again.

Serena had stopped by to pick up sdocuments and project m proposals before leaving Natalie to handle matters at Jansen Group.
She then headed to the parking lot, preparing to return to Amber Group. Suddenly, her phone rang. "Serena, something bad happened! was just leading alteam to verify assets and check the remaining staff when a group of thugs suddenly broke in! They're smashing everything! We called security, but the office supplies and documents were almost completely destroyed."
Serena's eyes turned ice-cold. She had just exposed Shania's erimes. And now the financial records were conveniently being destroyed? What a coincidence.
"Call the police. I'm on my way," she said sharply.
"Got it! Hurry!" Alicia exclaimed.
Serena could hear the sound of crashing and shouting in the background before she hung up.
She jumped into her car, her forehead already slick with sweat. She hoped no one get hurt.
