NovelEndChapter 203 One of the executives said, "This is impressive. Now, I'm even more curious to see Ms. Jansen's credentials." The executives of Larson Group started discussing again with enthusiasm.
Zach glanced at Serena, trying to gauge her reaction. But she remained indifferent, leaning back in her chair and calmly flipping through sdocuments.
It was as if the earlier insult hadn't fazed her at all.
Why? Didn't it bother her to be publicly accused of being someone's mistress? She had never been this indifferent before, not even when she was with him.
A pang of guilt and regret tightened in Zach's chest.

Another half an hour passed.
"Amber Group and Zarena Group will move forward as the finalists." No one was surprised by the decision. As the meeting adjourned, the executives began leaving one by one.
By the tSerena stepped outside, night had already fallen.
Zach caught up with her, hesitating before making an offer. "It's not safe for you to be out alone. Lettake you home." Just then, a voice cut in. "Ms. Jansen is perfectly safe." Both Serena and Zach turned toward the source.
Celeste stepped out of a sleek black car, respectfully holding the door open. "I'll take you home." Ever since the last incident, Celeste had made it a habit to be nearby whenever Serena was alone.
Serena was momentarily surprised, but she didn't hesitate for long. Without a word, she slid into the car.
The thought of going halone unsettled her, but the idea of getting into Zach's car was even worse. At least Hugh was reliable, even if his mood swings were unpredictable.
As the car sped away, Zach remained frozen in place, his fists clenched at his sides.
So, Hugh had sent another one of his people.
If he didn't act soon, he might lose Serena forever.
Two days later, Serena finally managed to patch up part of Amber Group's financial gap. She then returned to her office at Jansen Group to deal with the mountain of paperwork.

"Mr. Jansen wants to know if you can set aside stto have dinner with Mr. Foster to discuss the Foster ko dhsduss the dinner finalized project. You've already turned him down several times. Don't you think that's a little rude?" If it was just about business, there was no need to make it a dinner.
Serena had a feeling about what was going on.
Zach probably wanted to make up with her. Howard had just secured a om promising project from him yesterday and was eager to use her as a bargaining chip. So, she had refused repeatedly.
Then, Nathan changed tactics. "Mr. Jansen said that if you don't go, the collaboration with Foster be out off completeroster Gragapliwil And if that happens, there's no point in keeping your position here. You might as well wait for Amber Group to go bankrupt." It was a blatant threat.
Before she could even respond, her phone rang.
Howard didn't bother with pleasantries and said, "I can keep Amber Group afloat, or I can dismantle it to cover Jansen Group's financial shortfall."
