NovelEndChapter 236 Howard hung up furiously. Serena, however, remained indifferent.
Previously, Amber Group's cash flow would have struggled to sustain the project until completion. But with Rachel's funds flowing back in, the company's future was now on steady ground.
"Let's see how far I can go," she said with a smirk as she turned her phone over and dived into work. However, once the celebration banquet was over, she still had to meet with a client of Jansen Group as per Howard's direct instructions. As expected, Howard never failed to dampen her mood.
Meanwhile, at Jansen Group's office, Howard slammed his phone down in fury.

A few days ago, Howard's threats might have worked. However, the moment she thought about the six million dollars that she and Rachel had transferred to her, plus the hundreds of thousands in hush money, Sarah swallowed in fear.
If Howard found out that Amber Group had managed to hold on because of the money from selling the villa, she and Rachel would be doomed. Right now, her only option was to secure a new project and divert Howard's attention.
Sarah hurried out of the office, flipped through her contacts, and fixed her gaze on Cole's name. "As long as I can secure a project from Larson Group, Dad will stop focusing on Amber Group's funds and won't find out where the money cfrom." With that thought, she sent Cole several messages. However, still holding a grudge over her previous failures, Cole didn't bother replying.
Unable to suppress her urgency, Sarah found out that Cole was meeting at a hotel for business that night and immediately decided to take action.
Back at home, she browsed through her wardrobe, and her gaze settled on a striking red slip dress. A smirk played on her lips. "I have to get this settled tonight." Even if it meant offering herself up once again, she was willing to do whatever it took.
That evening, Sarah made her way to the hotel, bribed a waiter, and got Cole's key card. Since he wasn't replying to her messages, she would go straight to his bed to wait for him. With her body and looks, she had no doubt she could seduce him.
Even if Cole turned his back on her afterward, she could use his infidelity right after his engagement to blackmail him into giving her the project.
This time, she was going all in.
Sarah had everything planned perfectly. She entered the hotel room, shedding her coat to reveal sheer black stockings and a striking red slip. Scattering a few rose petals around, she leaned lazily against the headboard as she waited for him.

Sarah deliberately tugged the strap down just enough to expose her delicate frame.
As the footsteps approached, her heart pounded wildly. The moment the lights illuminated the room, she called out in a honeyed voice, "Cole..." "What are you doing here?" A sharp voice cut through the air.
Sarah looked up and saw that the one standing at the doorway wasn't Cole, but Regina.
"You... Why is it you?" Her heart skipped a beat as she scrambled off the bed in a panic.
Regina let out a hysterical roar. Her handbag slipped from her handland dropped to the floor as she shot Sarah a murderous glare.
"This room was booked under Cole's nfor me! He arranged it so that I could meet my client first thing in the morning. What the hell are you doing here?" It was only then that Sarah realized that Cole hadn't booked the room for himself.
