Melissa sneered, her voice sharp. "Oh, the benefits are plenty. If something happened to my son, your husband would continue to hold power in the Larson family. And if something happened to Ms. Arnold, wouldn't your sister be able to get closer to Cole?"

Serena didn't even flinch as Melissa's long nails left shallow marks on her nose.
