RankNovelMelissa snapped, "I knew it! You're a Jansen after all. You're still trying to marry your sister into the Larson family!" Serena turned back to her, her eyes deep and calm.
"Was I the one who forced Cole to find Sarah? If he has already slept with the girl, he should take responsibility, no matter if she's a Jansen or not. When Regina broke her leg, Cole couldn't wait to call off the engagement and got a harsh scolding from Grandpa.
"Surely you haven't forgotten that, have you? Or are you planning to raise your son into a selfish fool who runs from his own mess?" Melissa's face twisted with anger at the reminder. She shot a vicious glare at Cole.
However, Cole couldn't take his eyes off Serena. The next second, Hugh stepped in front of Serena, blocking Cole's line of sight.
Facing Hugh's cold, oppressive gaze, Cole could only lower his head in defeat and clenched his fists tight.
Hugh stood protectively beside Serena, making it clear whose side he was on.

Her gaze swept over to Sarah. "Cole might have opened the door, but did Sarah have to get herself drunk and throw herself at him? Melissa isn't wrong when she said you climbed onto his bed." Sarah's face turned ghostly pale.
She couldn't help but think back to those two bottles of hard liquor she and Cole had shared. If it hadn't been for the alcohol, they never would've lost control in front of everyone.
As she pieced it together, realization struck.
"Serena, this is all your fault. Someone spiked the wine in your room! A man barged in halfway through. I only ran to Cole because I panicked after drinking your wine!" Everyone was stunned.
Hugh's fist clenched tight in an instant. How could the wine in Serena's room have been spiked? Serena slowly cback to her senses. "So, are you admitting you barged into my room, Sarah? As for the spiked wine and the man..." She hadn't even returned to her room last night, let alone seen anything like that.
However, her room had been personally set up by Hugh.
Could it be him? Serena instinctively glanced at him. "Did you set up the room?" A flash of coldness crossed Hugh's eyes. Was the original trap meant for Serena? Just as he was about to explain, Serena shook her head slightly, coming back to herself.
There was no way Hugh would drug her or send another man in. The whole setup reeked of something else entirely.
Realizing she had almost accused him in front of everyone, she immediately shifted gears.
"Wine can either help you sleep or spice things up. We're legally married now. As for 'anothermal the only man allowed in my room is Hugh. So stop making up stories!" Hugh's expression shifted slightly, then slowly eased.
He was relieved she didn't keep doubting him. However, he had never needed underhanded tricks like that.
Sarah stared at Serena in disbelief.
"You're shameless! How can you brag about spicing things up with your husband in front of everyone!" Serena's cheeks flushed a little.
