Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 290

"That's impossible! He's my grandpa too!" Eric stammered, his eyes fixed on the pile of worthless contracts at his feet. His face had gone completely pale.

He had even skipped Cole's engagement party just to handle these problems abroad. But now, before he could even resolve them, Hugh had already dug everything up!

His heart pounded diffidently. Thinking about the trouble Melissa and Cole had caused before, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and step aside for Serena.

"We didn't do anything to Grandpa. Melissa and I just suspect that Regina's accident has something to do with Sarah…"

"Since when did suspicions count as evidence, Eric?" Hugh asked. He led Serena to the door. Just before stepping in, he shot Eric a cold glance. "Instead of doubting others, you should learn to read contracts more carefully. Don't make me teach you how it's done."

With that, Hugh took Serena into the ward.

Outside, Eric's pale face flushed red with humiliation. Clenching his jaw, he bent down and picked up the scattered documents one by one.

Of all people, Hugh had to be the one to expose his failures first. If word got out that Hugh had to clean up his mess, Eric, the Larson family's eldest grandson, would be utterly humiliated.

Seeing Eric suffer a blow, Melissa didn't dare say a word.

Cole stood still, his expression unreadable.

Eric stacked the papers neatly. He then turned and shot Cole a furious glare.

"This is all because your mom spoiled you! Calling off your engagement is a huge deal. How could you go straight to Grandpa without discussing it with us first? You'll kneel before Grandpa and beg for his forgiveness the moment he wakes up!

"Don't wait until he turns his back on you. If he changes his will and names another heir, we're all screwed!"

The jealousy in Cole's eyes deepened.

He wanted that too. When Melissa scolded him, and Eric placed unbearable pressure on him, he wanted someone like Serena beside him. Someone who would tug at his sleeve and say, "It'll be okay."

Just one door apart, Serena and Hugh confirmed that Calvin was out of danger and resting peacefully.

Hugh finally let out a long breath and sank onto the couch.

Serena sat beside him. "Let's handle things one step at a time. If you need help, just let me know."

"I'm just glad you're here," Hugh replied.
