Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 281

Serena grabbed Regina's hand before she could strike.

"They're in the wrong, so they'll pay. But if you hit them, you'll be the one in the wrong. Besides, you really should pay attention to the way people are looking at you."

Her gaze shifted to the corner—where Cole stood watching.

"Your fiancé is still looking."

Regina's rationality snapped back into place. She slowly lowered her hand and muttered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "You're right."

Serena said nothing more and simply asked Samuel to prepare the bill for Rachel.

Rachel, utterly disheveled, now had to pay for the damages. With people around her whispering and pointing fingers, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave with Sarah.

Meanwhile, Samuel and his team quickly restored the exhibition.

Serena took Regina to get changed into clean clothes and fix her hair.

Having cooled down from her earlier outburst, Regina regained her usual proud demeanor. Her face, however, still held a pouty, slightly sulky expression, making her look rather adorable.

"I have to admit, every time your sister causes trouble, you always handle it fairly. I shouldn't have judged you before. I owe you an apology."

"It's nothing. Besides, I just didn't want Samuel's carefully planned exhibition to be ruined. And since you and Cole are already engaged, if you really want to settle personal grievances, you don't need to do it so openly.

"Your family would worry, but as for the Larson family…" Serena trailed off, but both of them understood.

The Larson family, powerful as they were, cared about their reputation more than anything.

If news of today's physical altercation spread, Regina's position would be at risk.

Regina looked at Serena with sincere gratitude. "Then I really owe you this time."

"Consider it my way of making up for not keeping better control during your engagement party. Don't take it to heart."

Curiosity filled her gaze.

Regina, however, thought Serena was feeling upset, so she deliberately led her closer to eavesdrop. But before they even got close, Hugh's voice rang out, cold as ice.

"Long time no see. Why should I be familiar with you? If you're looking for emotional support, there are plenty of men here who would be better at it than me."

Regina almost burst out laughing.

Everyone knew Hugh was as cold as stone—trying to get emotional reassurance from him was like flirting with a brick wall!

However, Serena remained indifferent. She had no intention of interrupting him from speaking with an old acquaintance, so she simply stood by the side.

The woman was momentarily stunned by his response, but when she turned and saw Serena, she suddenly smirked.

"Hugh, is this your wife? I never thought you'd go for this type."
