NovelBookChapter 173 "It's nothing. I don't mind," Zach said as he sat back down.
Howard was momentarily speechless.
Meanwhile, Shania struggled violently. "You're talking nonsense! Slandering me! Those so-called evidence is completely fabricated!" Flushing red with fury, she lunged at Serena, aiming for her hair. But Serena tilted her head slightly, easily dodging the attack.
Then, without hesitation, she shoved Shania hard, sending her crashing onto the couch.

Serena didn't even look-she simply flung all the files at Shania. "One case after another tell me, which one of these is falsely accusing you?" "Dad," she turned to Howard, her voice calm but firm. "She's been embezzling funds and pocketing profits within Amber Group, causing it to operate at a loss year after year.
"The damage to Jansen Group has ranged from millions to tens of millions annually. Just the charge of embezzlement alone-shouldn't that be enough to send her to prison?" Prison? Howard and Shania both froze.
Howard immediately tried to defuse the situation. "She's your aunt. What kind of niece sends her own aunt to jail? If word gets out—" "If Serena can't send her to prison, then as an outsider, I suppose I can help call the police and file charges." Zach suddenly spoke up.
Serena's gaze turned ice-cold. This man-why did he keep butting in? She never actually planned to throw Shania in jail-she just wanted to use the threat to force her to cough up the stolen money.
But before she could react, Shania's eyes turned red with fury.
She snapped her head toward Zach and spat, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you meddle in the Jansen family's business? You look like a scrawny rat-probably raised without a mother to teach you any manners Howard slapped her across the face, silencing her immediately.
Family matters should be handled behind closed doors, but she had the audacity to provoke a major business partner? "Enough! Have you lost your mind? My mother spoiled you rotten, and now look at you you act like a rabid dog, biting at anyone you see! "Serena is your niece, and yet you can't stop spewing filth! Ctalk toabout handling things when you've learned sself-control. Now get out!" Shania opened her mouth to argue. But with a single look from Howard, his assistant and security guards dragged her out.
Her wails and screams gradually faded down the hallway.
Finally, the office returned to silence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHoward turned to Zach with an apologetic smile. "My cousin is a little... hysterical. Please don't take what she said to heart. But, with all this chaos, today isn't the best tfor business discussions. How about we reschedule?" He had heard everything. Shania had embezzled tens of millions from Amber Group. He needed to act fast before the restructuring was complete and secretly investigate the full extent of the damage.
Zach, rubbing his temple from all the commotion, was just about to leave when he cast Serena a deep look. "Since you're the project lead as well, we could-" "Mr. Foster, didn't you hear that my father and I have family matters to deal with?"
Serena's beautiful eyes raised slightly as she looked at him, but they were filled with nothing but distance and rejection. Zach felt an inexplicable sting in his chest. He clenched his jaw, then left without another word.
Serena had no interest in staying longer either. After neatly organizing the evidence, she prepared to leave.
But just as she pulled open the door-Sarah cbursting in, eyes red, grabbing her wrist. "Serena! You did this on purpose, didn't you?" Serena looked at her blankly. Her ears were already buzzing from all the noise.
She yanked her hand away. "If you've got something to say, say it! Stop playing mind games and making baseless accusations."
