Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 254

Wendy choked on Serena's words.

Zach quickly regained his composure. Taking a closer look, he realized that aside from Wendy's tear-swollen eyes, there wasn't a single scratch on her. His brow furrowed deeply as he withdrew his hand.

Wendy grabbed his arm, disbelief flashing across her face. "Zach, do you only believe Serena? I—I had an asthma attack yesterday! I still feel weak today, that's why I—"

"You seem to have plenty of strength when making excuses. Doesn't look like you got hit at all."

Zach brushed her hand away and stood up, his expression remaining indifferent.

Tears welled up in Wendy's eyes, but he didn't spare her a glance. Without an audience, they meant nothing.

She pressed her lips into a tight line, not daring to push her luck any further.

Meanwhile, Zach walked straight toward Serena.

"Serena, I know you wouldn't really hurt Wendy. About yesterday—"

"Stop right there." From a distance, Serena observed him before signaling for the parking lot security guard to come over. "I have nothing to say to you. I'm in a hurry for work and don't have time to waste on this nonsense."

"But, Serena—"

"Mr. Foster! Ms. Jansen has made it clear she doesn't want you near her. Please keep your distance."

The security guard arrived just in time, quickly stepping in to block Zach's path.

"Mr. Foster, you and Ms. Smith have already caused enough trouble in this neighborhood. Others have every right to keep their distance from you. If you cause any more trouble, we'll have no choice but to call the police on Ms. Jansen's behalf!"

The residents on the top floor of Crestview Bay were far more valuable than the troublesome ones.

With security guards standing between them, Serena didn't hesitate for a moment—she got into her car and drove off.

Zach stood rooted in place, his nails digging into his palms.

Serena was slipping further and further away, along with the last of her patience.

He slowly turned his head, his cold gaze fixing on Wendy, a silent threat gleaming in his eyes.

Her team was fully prepared. All that remained was to launch the projects and leave their mark.

Alicia and Chris were particularly enthusiastic.

After wrapping up a few tasks, Serena realized she had left her phone on her desk. She wasn't sure if she had missed any messages.

Just as she reached for it, her phone buzzed with an incoming call. It was Hugh.

"Did you make it to the office safely?" he asked. "I just heard from the property management team that Zach and Wendy were harassing you again. Do you have a security company you trust?"

His voice remained steady, but he spoke quickly. In the background, the rhythmic clatter of a keyboard and the soft scratch of a pen against paper filled the silence.

Serena frowned. "I don't need a bodyguard. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't like having someone following me around. But you sound busy over there. Have you eaten breakfast?"

She was about to take a break and order breakfast, but hearing how busy Hugh sounded…

"Not yet," he replied.
