NovelEndChapter 320 The moment Howard caught wind of Sarah's plan, he gave the order without hesitation.
Amber Group had always been his. He was simply reclaiming what was rightfully his. And when it cto playing dirty, Howard never let sentiment get in the way.
He glanced at his phone. On the screen, Rachel was trying on two barely-there scraps of fabric-white on pale skin and lace clinging to her waist. Everything was just enough to tease and conceal.
His blood surged. Without another thought, he rushed home.
Outside, wind and rain lashed the windows. Inside, white silk fluttered like snow. Bathed in warm light and the scent of burning candles, two figures merged into one.

His pen slipped from his fingers, bounced off a folder, and flew before landing perfectly in Andrew Stone's cup with a splash that sent water flying and startled gasps across the table.
"What the hell, Howard! We're in the middle of a meeting and you're throwing pens in my drink? Do you think that I've been slacking off? I've been pulling all-nighters cleaning up your daughter's mess!" Andrew, dressed in a pale gray suit now stained with coffee, shouted in frustration. The documents on the table were ruined too.
A few of the senior board members looked over, visibly irritated.
"He's not just pissed at you. Seems toHoward's fed up with all of us. Spacing out like that in a meeting... He clearly doesn't respect us anymore." "Hmph! If you've got everything under control with the funding, Howard, then put the damn proposal on the table and shut us up. Quit throwing tantrums in front of us like you're still 20." The seniors were visibly annoyed. And naturally, the juniors followed suit, murmuring in low voices and sharing their complaints.
As he finally snapped back to reality, Howard forced a tired apology, yet the dark circles under his eyes betrayed his exhaustion. Somehow, he pushed through the rest of the meeting.
But as he left, the resentment in the room still clung to him like smoke.
However, Howard didn't care. All he wanted was to crash. His body had nothing left to give.
"Mr. Jansen, you're not as young as you used to be. Sthings are better in moderation. Don't burn out for nothing," Edgar said cautiously.
Was a mere assistant really commenting on his bedroom life now? Howard's gaze turned ice-cold. "I know my own damn limits. Since when did a junior assistant like you could lecture me? Don't bother coming in tomorrow.
"You're useless if you can't read the room. Get someone to replace you, and bringtwo cups of coffee before you go." Edgar stiffened, then tossed his ID badge on the table. "I tried to help, and this is what I get in return? No wonder everyone at Jansen Group has had enough of you. I shouldn't have followed you around these past few years. I must've been out of my mind." "You're just a glorified errand boy.
You're not even my personal aid et Who the hell do you think you Get Ost!" Howard slammed the table as his fury boiled over.

Word of the blow-up spread like wildfire, and whispers among then staff grew louder. Howard's n reputation took another hit. Natalie heard the gossip and wasted no tsending a message to Serena.
Serena read it and gave a cold, amused snort. "If he wants to destroy he himself let him. What's the latest insight on the island project?" "Sas before. But Howard and Sarah seem way too calm, like they've got something up their sleeves," Natalie said.
Serena frowned slightly.
She'd been quietly digging around for Cole for the past few days. According to him, he'd lie low. Ove taken axew days off to lie low overseas, blaming paparazzi harassment after a public falling-out with the Arnold family. But she knew better. Cole was clearly dodging Sarah. And if Sarah couldn't get to him to clean up the mess... Then, what kind of backup plan did she have? Something didn't add up.
