NovelEndChapter 217 Serena knew Calvin's true intention. He simply wanted her to integrate into the Larson family as soon as possible. He genuinely valued her.
She didn't refuse and agreed to take care of it.
Hugh reminded her, "If anything comes up that you can't handle, callanytime." "Alright." Serena nodded and was about to head back to her room when she suddenly remembered how Hugh had brought all that cat food for her calico cat and even rushed over today to stand up for her.
She turned back and walked up to him. "I have tto take care of the cat, tto oversee Cole's engagement party, and I still have tto grab breakfast. You... Are you busy today?" "Not really," Hugh replied, his expression calm, though he was already mentally listing nearby restaurants worth visiting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust like that, the two of them headed out for breakfast, almost like friends. They even took a walk afterward. By the afternoon, Hugh finally got into his car and drove to the Larson Group.
Howard held resentment over Serena receiving shares in the Jansen Group. Instead of giving her any projects or responsibilities, he deliberately sidelined her.
She didn't mind, though. With nothing else on her plate, she shifted her focus to overseeing Cole's engagement party.
Naturally, the event was handled by a professional team.
Because of Cole's status, even the engagement stage was custom-built.
"There are only a few days left. Are you sure this is safe?" Serena eyed the towering structure, concern flickering in her gaze.
One of the event staff patted his chest confidently. "Absolutely! We've tested everything multiple times. There won't be any issues!" He handed over the blueprints and schedule, explaining everything in detail.
Serena examined the details carefully, fully focused. She didn't notice the pair of eyes watching her intently from a nearby building.
Cole stared at Serena, his expression unreadable as he listened to the staff report. "Ms. Jansen has been very thorough with your engagement party. She's reviewed the blueprints and schedules multiple times. Please rest assured..." "Shut up. Get out." Cole turned his head, his eyes cold and unreadable.
The staff member flinched, unsure of what had triggered his anger. He hastily apologized before leaving in a hurry.

Compared to the playful, temperamental Regina, a woman like Serena, who was sharp, ambitious, and fearless in the business world, was the one who truly matched him.
Cole's frustration grew.
Everyone in the Larson family seemed to believe he needed a perfect, obedient wife-someone who could help his career, not someone he liked.
The more Cole thought about how serious Serena was about the engagement preparations and how eager she seemed to push him toward Regina, the more his anger burned.
Unable to hold back, he grabbed his phone and sent Sarah a message ΟΠ "Your sister is personally overseeing my engagement party. It looks like there's no way forto escape this marriage." Sarah, still confined at home, shot up from her bed as soon as she read the message. Her rage exploded in a furious scream. "Serena! You bitch! "Not only did she steal my mother's shares and blackmail her for money, but now she's trying to ruin my future with Cole? That damn woman! She's just afraid that if I have Cole's child, I'll take a share of Hugh's fortune!"
She caught her reflection in the mirror, her disheveled appearance only fueling her fury. She gritted her Ning teeth. "Serena, you won't stop me! An engagement party? I'll make sure it never happens. Cole belongs to me!" Determined, Sarah began bombarding Cole with messages. Every line screamed of her resolve to stop the engagement at any cost.
As he scrolled through her desperate promises, a smirk tugged at the m corner of Cole's lipsXAS long as he got what he wanted, he didn't mind humoring Sarah for a little while longer. "What an idiot. But at least she's a useful one."
