Game Over No Second Chances

Chapter 338

Hugh didn't get a chance to respond before Calvin cut in, speaking firmly on his

own.

"Since you two are clearly getting along so well, it's time to start thinking about your new home and wedding. Put it on the agenda.

"No point letting those paparazzi run wild with your photos and have people spouting nonsense about Serena marrying up. Make it public since your relationship is official. Let everyone know just how strong it is."

Every word Calvin said landed with weight.

Reynard let out an awkward cough and handed over the tablet.

Under the paparazzi's post featuring their photos, the comment section had already turned into a mess. Quite a few people were accusing Serena of having "married up" by getting involved with the Larson family. Some were even spreading baseless rumors, which traced back to Zach.

There were also nasty remarks about Hugh, claiming he usually kept his distance from women. Yet now, he had been utterly bewitched by some vixen.

They mocked him for being so smitten that he didn't care about her past and was ready to hand over everything he owned, even over something as trivial as a torn suit jacket. It was clear most people were being sarcastic, not envious.

Serena frowned.
