Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 307

But Eric and Melissa, who arrived late, were unwilling.

Eric was practically shouting himself hoarse.

"You're my younger brother! How can you side with outsiders? Regina went clubbing and ended up crippled, but my son has to pay for it with his reputation? Why are you letting him take the fall? Hugh, Cole is your nephew too!"

Hugh gave him a cold glance.

"So what if he's my nephew? He showed no loyalty, dumping his fiancée just after she escaped death. Does scum like him deserve to be my nephew? And besides, Eric, you'd better worry about cleaning up your own mess and managing your reckless son properly."

Eric's face turned deathly pale at that, unable to utter a single retort. After all, the disaster at his company still hadn't been sorted out.

Hugh had him firmly by the throat.

Eric dared not speak, but Melissa couldn't care less. To her, having her son apologize publicly and ruining his reputation was worse than killing her.

"Hugh! You're not trying to solve things for Cole at all. You're just helping your wife's sister escape blame!

"Wasn't it Sarah that the Arnold family suspected all along? Now, all of a sudden, no one's pursuing it anymore. It's obvious you agreed to those ridiculous conditions from the Arnold family just to protect Sarah!

"You're sacrificing your nephew's reputation just to keep your wife's family clean?"

Serena was stunned. She didn't expect the matter to twist around and land back on her.

Facing Melissa's accusations, she pressed down on Hugh's hand, who was about to speak for her, and stood up on her own.

"If you think Hugh is being unfair, then go talk to the Arnold family yourself."

Melissa frowned. "Aren't you afraid I'll actually dig up something on your sister?"

Serena chuckled instead of getting angry. Right in front of everyone, she stepped closer to Melissa, her gaze cold.

When he slowly turned to look at Melissa, his gaze turned icy.

"Since you're so eager to get beaten up by the Arnold family, be my guest."

At the thought of the Arnold family's famous temper, Melissa instinctively shrank back. "Grandpa, I just suspect..."

"Don't use people you don't trust. And if you trust them, don't suspect them! Hugh and Serena stepped up to help you mediate this mess, yet you show no gratitude and even insult them. You have no one but yourselves to blame!"

Calvin snapped angrily, leaving them with one last remark, "Useless fools! The only thing you know is to squabble among yourselves. No wonder you raised someone like Cole. How can I ever entrust the future of the Larson family to him? Go home and reflect on yourselves!"

Hearing that Calvin had even lost confidence in Cole, Melissa dared not say another word. She hurriedly dragged Eric away, but she was fuming inside.

Serena had just married Hugh not too long ago! How could she have earned Calvin's trust so easily?
