Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 229

Serena didn't get up. Instead, she pretended to be hurt, clutching her injured arm tightly and lightly biting her lip.

"It hurts."

Howard almost choked on his breath. He hadn't even touched her.

Before he could say anything, Hugh's cold voice rang from the doorway. "You called Serena home early, and this is how you're taking care of her?"

Hugh quickly walked in. The relatives at the door, caught by his piercing gaze, felt as though they couldn't breathe. They instinctively stepped aside to let him pass.

Hugh bent down to help Serena up, but Serena clutched his sleeve and whispered, "My father said that I've harmed Ms. Lloyd and Sarah and that I need to be punished."

"You harmed them?"

Hugh's voice was sharp, and he didn't even stand up. Instead, he gripped Serena's cold, slender wrist with a tight hold.

He shot a furious look at Howard. "Sarah deliberately harmed someone, and we didn't have her thrown in jail, which shows how generous we've been. Mr. Jansen, I never expected you to flip the truth today.

"Even after taking our family's compensation, is it still not enough? Now, you want to also get revenge on Serena? You want her to suffer under your family's punishment, with her skin torn and bloodied. Is that what will satisfy you?"

As he spoke, Hugh tightened his grip and abruptly pulled Serena into his arms.

His thumb gently brushed over the spot she had bandaged the day before, checking for any signs of bleeding or tearing. Though everything seemed fine, the coldness in his eyes only deepened.

Howard felt a chill run down his spine as Hugh's gaze pierced him.

Howard couldn't understand how his attempt to discipline his daughter had somehow turned into a form of revenge in Hugh's words.
