NovelBookChapter 339 It was almost like Hugh was afraid Serena would misunderstand him. He did look forward to the new house and the wedding.
Once she got his answer, Serena finally looked up at him.
As expected of Hugh, he always owned up to his words and actions.
After a moment's hesitation, she cautiously raised the next topic. "Then should we start preparing for the house and the wedding?" "I'll take care of it," Hugh replied, leaving no room for argument.
He wasn't going to let what happened in Crestview Bay repeat itself. He wouldn't let someone like Zach keep barging in and disrupting them, especially when Serena had even gotten hurt because of it.

Serena had no objections.
It was a business marriage to begin with. The wedding and the house were always supposed to be covered by the Larson family. Letting Hugh handle it was clearly the safest choice.
She was more than happy to leave it to him. It even freed up tfor her to join Ruth for an afternoon tea. Ruth tossed her sunglasses onto the table and dragged the chair out with a loud screech, earning a few annoyed glances from nearby diners.
Serena gave her a hush gesture before asking with a chuckle, "What's with the bad mood today?" "Do you remember Kade Winter, that girl I kicked out?" Ruth dropped into the seat, her face full of irritation. She pulled out two crumpled flyers from her bag and slapped them down.
Kade's photo was right there, with bold letters below it that read "Former Luna Orchestra Member".
"She's not even in our orchestra anymore, yet she's out there using our nto make money. She is now teaching kids violin. That's not even the worst part.
"She told one of them, 'If you can't even get the basics right, you might as well die. The kid went up to the rooftop that night. If the security? patrol hadn't caught it and the door hadn't been locked, we might've been talking about a tragedy right now." It was a matter of life and death. Ruth was practically grinding her teeth as she spoke.
Serena's expression darkened too.
"People like that should be blacklisted completely." "Exactly what I was thinking!" Ruth's mood visibly lifted.

Soon enough, no one in the industry would dare hire Kade. Even the m high-ranking executives who had once supported her began distancing themselves for no apparent reason.
Kade had to move out of her five-figure luxury apartment in the city center. Now she was living in an old residential building outside the city center that barely cost a few thousand. Her beloved violin, worth more than ten thousand, now leaned against a cracked and peeling wall.
Kade's eyes turned red with rage.
"Those bitches! Can't you two just leavethe hell alone? Ruth... Serena... Do you have to ruincompletely?" She clutched her head and screamed in her crumbling apartment.
If no money cin soon, she'd have no choice but to start selling off her designer goods for cash. Those handbags and heels were her image. She couldn't bear to part with a single one. Just then, a message popped up on her phone.
"Ms. Winter, would you really not consider playing that piece again?"
