Chapter 201 Serena casually handed her a bank account number.
Shania stood frozen, unwilling to hand over her cash.
Before she could argue, Alicia's voice cfrom outside the door. "Serena, the Larson Group's investment meeting will be starting soon. We need to leave in two minutes." "Alright," Serena said, rising to her feet. She put on her blazer as she brushed past Shania.
She didn't look back, only leaving her with a final warning. "Two minutes. Your choice." The sharp click of her heels echoed as she disappeared down the hallway.
Sweat dripped from Shania's forehead, mixing with the dust on the floor. Moments later, she pulled out her phone and quickly arranged the transfer.

But when she saw her account balance drained, with hundreds of thousands of dollars gone into Serena's account, she lost it.
Screaming in frustration, she slammed her phone onto the desk. "Serena, one day, I swear I'll make you pay for this!" Meanwhile, in the car, Serena glanced at her phone, satisfied with the deposit notification. With this money, Amber Group could buy smore time.
Shania had practically walked right into her trap. At least she was quicker at repaying her than Rachel had ever been.
She and Alicia soon arrived at the Larson Group.
This investment meeting was more like an open bidding session. However, there was no set base price- everything would be determined by the Larson Group executives. Most of the attendees were uncertain of their chances.
On the other hand, Serena remained the most composed person in the room. It would be great if she could secure the Larson Group's support. If not, she would adjust and find another way.
"Serena." A familiar voice rang out behind her.
She arched a brow in irritation, not even bothering to turn around.
Wendy's saccharine voice continued, "Serena, why are you ignoring Zach? He's here today for Zarena Group, the company the two of you have built together. You still own shares in it, don't you? Doesn't that matter to you? "Speaking of which, isn't it against the rules for competing companies to have any connection? You hold shares in Zarena Group, yet you're representing Amber Group. If someone finds out, wouldn't that be a problem?" Wendy had just learned about this moments ago.
Out of Zach's sight, she was practically giddy with laughter. She had always envied Serena for holding shares in Zarena Group, a lingering connection to Zach's business.
Now, she couldn't wait to watch Serena crash and burn for holding shares in both companies.

If Zach secured this project, his influence in the Foster family would her With that grow. With that he would have more control over his marriage and more power to marry her. Wendy's thoughts drifted, lost in the future she envisioned.
Meanwhile, Zach had only just realized that Serena was representing Amber Group. He couldn't help but worry.
"Serena, you hold shares in both companies. If Larson Group finds out, are you expecting Hugh to cover for you? Do you think he'll publicly stand up for a mistress?" Mistress. Every word Zach used to describe her was always so degrading.
But Serena felt nothing. Not anger, and not pain-just indifference. She cast him a cold glance.
"I already told you. Zarena Group has nothing to do withtransferred With all my shares before 1 left. In both allmy: business and life, we're over."
