Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 320

The moment Howard caught wind of Sarah's plan, he gave the order without hesitation.

Amber Group had always been his. He was simply reclaiming what was rightfully his. And when it came to playing dirty, Howard never let sentiment get in the way.

He glanced at his phone. On the screen, Rachel was trying on two barely-there scraps of fabric—white on pale skin and lace clinging to her waist. Everything was just enough to tease and conceal.

His blood surged. Without another thought, he rushed home.

Outside, wind and rain lashed the windows. Inside, white silk fluttered like snow. Bathed in warm light and the scent of burning candles, two figures merged into one.

…

Two days later, no matter how much fight Howard still had in him, even he couldn't hold up against Rachel's nightly ferocity. He was clearly running on fumes during the shareholders' meeting.

His pen slipped from his fingers, bounced off a folder, and flew before landing perfectly in Andrew Stone's cup with a splash that sent water flying and startled gasps across the table.

"What the hell, Howard! We're in the middle of a meeting and you're throwing pens in my drink? Do you think that I've been slacking off? I've been pulling all-nighters cleaning up your daughter's mess!"

Andrew, dressed in a pale gray suit now stained with coffee, shouted in frustration. The documents on the table were ruined too.

A few of the senior board members looked over, visibly irritated.

"He's not just pissed at you. Seems to me Howard's fed up with all of us. Spacing out like that in a meeting… He clearly doesn't respect us anymore."

"Hmph! If you've got everything under control with the funding, Howard, then put the damn proposal on the table and shut us up. Quit throwing tantrums in front of us like you're still 20."

The seniors were visibly annoyed. And naturally, the juniors followed suit, murmuring in low voices and sharing their complaints.

As he finally snapped back to reality, Howard forced a tired apology, yet the dark circles under his eyes betrayed his exhaustion. Somehow, he pushed through the rest of the meeting.

Natalie heard the gossip and wasted no time sending a message to Serena.

Serena read it and gave a cold, amused snort. "If he wants to destroy himself, let him. What's the latest insight on the island project?"

"Same as before. But Howard and Sarah seem way too calm, like they've got something up their sleeves," Natalie said.

Serena frowned slightly.

She'd been quietly digging around for Cole for the past few days. According to him, he'd taken a few days off to lie low overseas, blaming paparazzi harassment after a public falling-out with the Arnold family.

But she knew better. Cole was clearly dodging Sarah. And if Sarah couldn't get to him to clean up the mess… Then, what kind of backup plan did she have?

Something didn't add up.
