Game Over No Second Chances novel Chapter 384

The atmosphere between the two was subtly tense.

But in the quiet room, their small movements seemed magnified a hundredfold.

Calvin was even more pleased with Serena. He couldn't get Hugh to soften his attitude, but she had managed to do so.

He cleared his throat and spoke.

"Tonight's events have already spread through the upper circles. If we want to silence the rumors, we'll need a solid explanation. Cole had already broken off his engagement with the Arnold family. Ms. Sarah, do you have any marriage engagements?"

His sharp gaze swept toward Sarah.

Sarah immediately understood his meaning. She forced down the overwhelming joy in her heart and shook her head.

"N-Not yet!"

"Hold on, Grandpa," Eric said, quickly intervening as he saw the situation going south.

"It's true that legitimizing their relationship is a good solution, but Serena is Hugh's wife. If her sister marries my son, their relationship would be too complicated. People will just laugh at us."

Calvin paused for a moment.

Sarah immediately shot a venomous glare at Serena. She shouldn't have let Serena marry into the Larson family in the first place.

Seeing everyone remain silent, Eric continued, "If they truly love each other and take it slowly, no one could say anything. But technically speaking, Sarah would be Cole's aunt-in-law. If the public hears about Cole getting involved with his aunt-in-law, it's a bit inappropriate, right? What do you think, Serena?"

Everyone's gaze turned to Serena again.

Eric looked at her with a faint smile, laced with warning, as if to say, "Do you really want your sister marrying someone who'll technically be your nephew?"

It was a subtle provocation.

Calvin's eyes also showed a flicker of doubt. "Hugh, do you really think it's better for them to be together?"

"It's not that I think so."

Hugh met Calvin's eyes and continued calmly, "I'll support it whatever Grandpa decides. Serena is my wife. If Eric is backing up Cole, it's inevitable that our words may seem biased. It's better to follow Grandpa's lead."

Eric clenched his jaw. Hugh was actually putting on an act for Calvin.

Calvin's gaze flickered between Hugh and Cole.

Just as Sarah was about to step forward and speak for herself, Calvin looked at Cole and spoke in a low voice.

"Then, we'll do as I say. Let's make it work for these two. Hugh, just tell everyone that they have been in a long-term relationship. They were just having some issues. We'll smooth things over with the media, send out their photos, and make it right."

Once he finished, Cole's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment.
