Game Over No Second Chances

Serena asked curiously, "As your wife, I can help you socialize with the crowd. Why are you pushing them away?"

Wasn't that the whole point of their cooperation? Hugh worked with her precisely because he needed someone to play the role of Mrs. Larson in public and deal with all the socializing.

"They're noisy," Hugh said, giving a curt response as he led her away from the crowd.

That was just classic of him.

Serena suddenly felt like being Hugh's ally was unexpectedly comfortable. The two of them chatted quietly in a corner.

Meanwhile, Sarah's eyes were reddened with jealousy.

She had just gotten engaged today. Yet, Melissa had dragged Cole away right after the ceremony, saying something about how a newly engaged man needed some proper discipline.

She was left alone at the banquet. The Larsons couldn't care less about her. So why did Serena get everything handed to her?

The bitterness festered inside her, but she couldn't think of a way to retaliate. When her eyes landed on Rachel's belly, a plan formed in her mind. She cheerfully linked arms with Howard.

"Dad, Mom being pregnant with my little brother is such a huge deal! Since we're already celebrating, shouldn't the whole family get together?"
