Chapter 289 Eric hurriedly caught Melissa, his cold gaze sweeping over Serena.
"Serena, does this matter have anything to do with Sarah?" he asked.
"I don't know," Serena helplessly replied. "As you just said, what she does has nothing to do with me. But if this is truly her doing, I believe the police will give you and the Arnold family a satisfactory answer. Right now, the most important thing is Grandpa's health." When Melissa heard the conversation turn back to Calvin's condition, she immediately becdispleased. "Don't try to muddy the waters! Sarah is your sister. Don't you know how dirty her methods are? You're just trying to defend her! Didn't she just cause trouble at Cole's engagement party?" "Melissa." Serena interrupted Melissa's shouting in a calm tone. "The outcof that incident was you making a scene at the Jansen residence, forcing Grandpa to offer several major projects as compensation.
"Today, no matter what the situation with Regina's car accident is, Cole didn't even spare her a glance. He coldly called off the engagement, causing Grandpa to fall ill. You two act recklessly every time. Are you trying to kill Grandpa with your actions?" Such serious accusations left Melissa speechless, and she momentarily forgot her fury.

Melissa fell completely silent.
Eric, frustrated by the argument, coldly glared at Serena. "You have no business criticizing my wife and son, Serena. Didn't the Jansen family teach you about respecting elders?" Serena was momentarily speechless. In the end, they still wouldn't tell her about Calvin's condition.
She took a deep breath, holding back her frustration. "I'm not here to argue with you. I just want to know about Grandpa's condition." "You have no right! You're the sister of the suspect behind the car accident!" Melissa snapped back angrily. Serena tightly pressed her lips together, her hand gripping her phone so hard that her knuckles turned white. She had promised Hugh that she would take good care of Calvin. But these two wouldn't tell her anything.
She turned to leave, intending to ask a nurse or doctor for an update.
Just as she took a step forward, Eric's cold voice cut through the air.
"Where are you running off to? Are you feeling guilty?" Serena was so angry she couldn't even respond. She turned to retort, but she felt a hand fall on her shoulder. She jumped in surprise and turned her head. Hugh had reached the hospital.
He stood beside her, carrying an icy air. When he saw her pale face, his cold gaze immediately landed on Eric. "Melissa, you made a scene at the Jansen residence before, causing Rachel to miscarry. And Eric, you don't know how to educate Cole, causing Grandpa to be rushed to the emergency room.
"I just received news that when you were abroad for business, you left behind a mess with millions of losses amess and worthless contracts in the company." Hugh wrapped his arm around Serena's shoulder and slowly approached Eric and Melissa. His eyes were full of cold fury.

"You three parasites have been feeding off the Larson family's blood and flesh. Do you have any right to criticize my wife?" With that, Hugh threw the worthless contracts he'd just received at Eric's chest.
Eric and Melissa both staggered back in shock.
Hugh tightened his grip on Serena, his voice low and threatening.
"Move aside. My wife and I need to go in and confirm Grandpa's m condition, Or is it that you're deliberately blocking us from seeing him because you've done something to Grandpa? Are you waiting for him to die so you can inherit the family fortune?"
