Chapter 132
“At least there’s a clue about her whereabouts.” Serena didn’t care about the details of the
situation.
She would never understand the way Sarah’s family operated. She forwarded the surveillance camera footage to Howard, turned off her phone, and prepared to sleep.
“Thank you for helping me with the surveillance camera even when you’re drunk,” Serena said as she turned toward the countertop.
She then made Hugh a cup of honey water and yawned as she headed back to her room. Honey water helps with hangovers. Make sure you drink it, or you’ll feel uncomfortable even when sleeping.”
Knowing that Hugh had already woken up, this time, Serena closed the door tightly. After she went back to her room, the living room was utterly silent.
Hugh ruffled his hair even more as he walked to the countertop and picked up the warm honey water. He took a sip and frowned slightly. “It’s too sweet.”
He wasn’t fond of sweetness. However, he finished the entire cup without leaving any behind.
The following morning, Serena got up to find a steaming breakfast on the table.
Hugh was already dressed neatly and sitting at the table. His suit jacket was draped over the chair, and he wore a shirt and trousers, with brand–new Eathalian leather shoes. He looked nothing like the drunk man from last night.
He poured Serena a cup of soy milk. “Chandler doesn’t know what you like.”
“I’m pretty casual with breakfast. Why are you so formally dressed today? Do you have an important meeting?” Serena casually sat down.
The two ate breakfast and briefly complained about their busy work, almost like business partners handling matters.
Halfway through the meal, Hugh suddenly spoke. “A friend of mine is planning to hold a pottery exhibition and is still looking for a potter.”
“My mom used to know quite a few people. If you need, I can help ask around.” Serena responded readily, and her mind was already searching for the contacts.
Hugh happily agreed, saying, “Thank you. I’ll pass on your contact information when it’s needed.”
“Sure. Feel free to reach out to me anytime.” Serena smiled sweetly.
Chapter 192
To her, helping her ally make connections was just a small gesture.
Taking advantage of the situation, Hugh used it as an excuse to drive her to Jansen Group.
Since it was a free ride, Serena didn’t turn it down. She arrived at the office in a good mood. As soon as she reached the floor and the elevator doors opened, she saw Sarah charging toward
her.
Sarah’s eyes were red with fury, and she raised her hand high, yelling, “Serena! I’ll never let this go!”
Serena was startled, but her body reacted faster than her mind. She twisted Sarah’s wrist behind her back and pinned her against the closed elevator doors.
The cold metal and the painful restraint only fueled Sarah’s anger. “Serena! You were the one who sent that baseless surveillance footage to Dad, weren’t you?”
“You deliberately made him think I slept with some old man! He even slapped me… He has never hit me before! Why would you frame me and ruin my reputation? I did everything you. told me to!” Sarah’s voice cracked as she spoke, and soon, she was.crying outright.
Only then did Serena notice the swelling on half of her face. Howard hadn’t held back at all.
She retorted, “How exactly did I frame you? Dad called me in the middle of the night, demanding to know where you were. I only pulled the surveillance footage, but the decision to go into that room was entirely yours. Who else can you blame?”
“What a shame. I missed the part where you got slapped,” Serena remarked dryly.
