Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 169

If Serena were to really become her sister-in-law, her future with Rock would mean they'd often see each other...

She dared not think further.

"Brother... but Serena has been with Mr. Vance for four years. Isn't she damaged goods by now? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for picking up someone else's leftovers?!" Joy's voice dwindled, as Samuel's eyes fixed on her with an intensity she had never seen before.

"Do you even know what you're saying? When Serena was with Aaron, she loved him wholeheartedly. Even if they broke up, it was because Aaron didn't appreciate her. What fault does she have in that?

You're a woman too. If you can't empathize, fine, but how could you think like this?

Especially since you're a college student!"

Joy bit her lip, lowering her head, feeling defiant yet aware that Samuel was genuinely upset.

She couldn't say anything more.

If she continued, she'd surely be shown the door today.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

"Don't say another word. Go home and reflect on this."

Joy wanted to argue further, but Samuel had already turned away, clearly unwilling to listen any longer.

She reluctantly left.

On the subway.

Joy received a message from her roommate.

Her roommate was ecstatic: "Do you know who the mysterious guest for this year's school anniversary is? Ahhhh, you won't believe it, I'm so excited! Finally, a chance to see my idol up close, ahhhh, so happy!"

Feeling irritable, Joy replied absentmindedly: "Who is it?"

Her roommate quickly sent back a new message.

Just three words.

Joy's eyes widened in shock at the sight!

...

Serena was relaxing on the couch with a face mask on when she got a call from William.
