NovelBookChapter 230 Serena was pleased with the outcome. After all, Amber Group couldn't handle the major project Calvin had given them, so taking it would be pointless. However, she was determined to reclaim Amber's assets one by one.
She lightly tapped Hugh's palm, and his gaze softened slightly.
"That's settled then." With that, he didn't even bother acknowledging anyone and confidently walked out of the Jansen residence with Serena.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as they got into the car, before Hugh could ask if her wound hurt, Serena had already leaned in with a faint smile. "Thank you for arriving in ttoday." Otherwise, even if she could have left unscathed, she wouldn't have been able to reclaim Amber's assets.
Hugh watched as her smiling face drew closer. After a brief pause, he looked away somewhat awkwardly and buckled her seatbelt for her. "Don't run around when you're unwell. Go back and rest properly." "Alright." Serena let him fasten her seatbelt, though she was inwardly surprised.
It turned out Hugh would actually help someone fasten their seatbelt. She couldn't help but think if he had done that for other women as well. Curiosity swirled in her mind, but exhaustion soon took over, and she drifted into deep sleep.
Throughout the journey, Hugh's gaze never once left her.

"Well, it's just a matter of whether you're willing to spend the money." Rachel gazed at him expectantly and went on about how hard it had been for her to lose the baby. Caught between his love for Rachel and his desire for a son, Howard gave in without much thought. "Alright. I'll buy it." "Howard, you're so good to me." Overjoyed, Rachel convinced him to splurge on an outrageously pricey villa.
