NovelBookChapter 243 How ridiculous.
For 13 years, she had given her heart without hesitation, every single day. Now, the one who had truly betrayed her was standing there, pointing fingers at her.
She took a slow breath, then turned back to meet Wendy's smug gaze with a smile. "Zach, you should be careful not to get played yourself. After all, I still have a few interesting messages from Wendy. Want to take a look?" She still had them! Wendy's eyes widened. A chill ran down her spine at the mere thought of those messages and the photos she had sent to Serena. She couldn't let Zach find out about them.
Before Zach could ask, Wendy grabbed his arm and quickly pulled him away.
"Serena's just upset. Zach, let's not push her too hard today. We'll talk to her in a few days, okay?" Zach didn't want to upset Serena further, so he let Wendy lead him away.

Without a word, she backed up the files and turned to leave.
Natalie caught up to her and said, "Mr. Jansen has asked you to head upstairs to discuss Mr. Xanthos' project." Serena hadn't planned on getting involved. After all, Adrian had been offended by Sarah, and she had no interest in cleaning up her mess.
However, a thought struck her.
Zach didn't know she was married to Hugh. But Howard had been meeting with Zach frequently. Had he never mentioned it? Now that she thought about it, Zach and Wendy had always seemed to be unaware of her relationship with Hugh.
Yet, the Jansen Group and Foster Group were closely tied to each other. Zach was even allowed to attend the shareholder meetings.
She didn't understand why he had no idea she was married.
Had Howard deliberately kept it from him, hoping she would use her connections to pull Zach closer? That seemed far more likely.
Then, she stepped into the elevator.
"Perfect. I have something else to discuss with him too." The elevator went straight to the top floor.
Inside the office, Howard barely looked at her before tossing Adrian's project documents onto his desk.
"Mr. Xanthos has been discharged and is back to work as usual. The only reason this project wasn't lost was because you had people looking after him and got close to those around him. Since you've handled it this far, you'll see it through. Make sure Mr. Xanthos stays on board." Serena didn't even glance at the file. She took a seat and remained still.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHoward was clearly annoyed when he looked at her with a cold expression.
Serena had just gone head-to-head elders with the shareholders, openly m challenging the elders and stirring up their anger. And now... Howard said, "You've already caused a scene at the shareholder meeting. Are you planning to throw a tantrum attoo? I've given you control over this project. What more do you want?" Serena looked at him coldly.
"Of course I'm not satisfied. First, you soldoff to the Larsons foram investment, Then, you mid my marriage, letting Zach believe he could win back, just so you could pull the Foster Group in closer.
"You've been passingaround like a bargaining chip. Tell me, Howard, do you even deserve to be called my father?"
