Game Over No Second Chances

The Jansen family moved into a new place.

Following the same arrangement as in the old place, Serena took the best guest

room.

She'd hired a renovation team to restore everything to how it had been before. However, a few small ornaments Amber had hand-carved for her were missing from the corners. It just lacked the warmth of the old Jansen residence.

Sarah passed by the door, arms crossed over her chest.

"Don't get too full of yourself, Serena. You can have the room, I don't care. I'm moving into the Larson residence soon anyway. I don't need this tiny dump."

Serena turned her head to glance at her.

"Right. After playing guard dog for me all these years, you're not even moving out to a bigger place. You're just switching places to keep living off someone else. You're right, I shouldn't be so pleased. I'd hate for a loyal little watchdog like you to feel hurt."

"Who are you calling a dog? And who's living off someone else? I'm going to be the lady of the family!"

Sarah stomped her foot, fuming.

Serena couldn't be bothered. She locked the door to her room in front of Sarah's face and walked off to find Howard in the living room.

Behind her, being ignored only made Sarah angrier.
