Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 325

"Once you've downed three bowls of magic water, there's no way you'll puke out all the shit inside you!" the shaman said.

"Ugh…"

Sarah didn't know what made her gag more—the disgusting words or the stench of that so-called "magic water". She covered her mouth and instinctively tried to bolt.

But Chandler clamped his hand down on her shoulder, holding her firmly in place. "Since this is Mr. Larson's orders, I suggest you cooperate, Ms. Sarah. Don't make me use other methods."

"Other methods?" Sarah shrieked. "I'm Hugh's sister-in-law! If you dare touch me…"

"Judging by the filth coming out of your mouth, I'd say you've lost your mind already. Won't take the water? Fine. Looks like you'll be getting the full exorcism ritual," Chandler said with a smile.

Sarah's eyes widened, and her blood ran cold.

From behind the shaman, a group of masked figures stepped forward, carrying grimy whips and a filthy basin of water. They moved slowly, deliberately, like a nightmare creeping closer.

"Drive out the evil! Purge the filth!" they chanted.

"No!" Her terrified scream ripped through the air.

In the restaurant not far away, Serena thought she heard something, so she turned her head slightly. But Hugh quickly and neatly blocked her view.

"Let's go," Hugh said.

"Huh? But it's only been ten minutes," Serena said. She was stunned by how fast he'd wrapped things up.

"It was already a done deal. You signed with Voyage Group today, right?" He glanced at the folder Serena had set down on the table.

"Yeah." Serena nodded and smiled. "Amber Group signed directly with their headquarters. Everything's locked in."

Normally, Hugh would've reminded her that nothing in business was ever certain.

But seeing how she was brimming with confidence, he said nothing. He simply watched as she rose from the soft leather couch and made the decision to trust her instincts.

Howard's expression eased a little, but the tension in his shoulders remained.

As minutes crawled by, the silence grew heavier. Then, before they heard a word from Voyage Group, the door slammed open.

Four or five shareholders from Jansen Group stormed into the office with grim expressions.

Sarah barely spared them a glance before snapping coldly, "This is the chairman's office! And you barge in like this? Have you all forgotten your manners?"

As Sarah could already taste victory, her voice dripped with mockery and disdain.

But one of the shareholders strode up and slapped two thick documents straight into her face.

"Manners? You two don't deserve our respect! This 'brilliant plan' you and your father cooked up—sending a massive transfer to Voyage Group to set up Serena—blew up in your faces!

"Serena didn't fall for it at all. Instead, Voyage Group took our money and invested it elsewhere!"
