Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 175

Serena had known Aaron for seven years, and she had never seen him this unhinged, not even during the whole Cynthia Lynwood ordeal.

Her heart was pounding fiercely.

She spoke more slowly, "Seven years ago, your sister and Cynthia Lynwood had a kidney transplant. Just check Cynthia Lynwood's medical records at the Faircrest Medical Center, and you'll figure it out. It's not exactly rocket science."

When Rock was doing the compatibility tests, he found that Cynthia Lynwood had undergone similar tests seven years ago, but Serena had skimmed over that part.

Later, she pieced it together, but she never gave it much thought.

Because...

No matter Aaron's reasons for being so kind to Cynthia Lynwood, it didn't change one fact.

Every single time, Aaron would leave her behind for Cynthia Lynwood.

Aaron slowly released Serena, "I'm sorry, when Evelyn passed, she was so young... so I..."

Serena glanced at Aaron, whose face was contorted with pain.

As a brother, Aaron was impeccable.

One could see it in how he treated Vivian.

Vivian might not have any real skills, yet she held cushy positions in top companies.

And whenever she wanted something—be it a limited edition car or an exclusive designer piece—all she had to do was ask Aaron, and he would fulfill her wishes without hesitation.

But what did that have to do with her?

Serena interrupted Aaron with an impassive expression, "Mr. Vance, I hope you understand that since I decided to break up with you, I have no intention of ever looking back."

Aaron lifted his head slowly, and the pain in his eyes vanished like a receding tide, replaced by a shadow of gloom. "What did you say?"

"You were never the right person for me!"

The vein on Aaron's temple throbbed violently. "Serena!"

Serena continued to look at Aaron with calm detachment.

Aaron took a deep breath, then curled his lips into a cold smile, "Fine, very well. I ask you, do you have any regrets?"

"None."

She retrieved it and saw it was William. Her eyes lit up.

She answered quickly, as if clinging to a lifeline.

Yet, when William's deep, magnetic voice came through the phone, she was jolted back to reality.

William had already stood up to Aaron once for her.

Moreover, they had a business partnership.

Monetary interests always outweighed personal matters.

Why should she put William in a difficult position again and again?

"What’s wrong?" William asked, his voice tense after hearing nothing from Serena for a while.

"Nothing, the signal was spotty, I didn’t catch what you said. Did you need something?"

William relaxed, turning his wheelchair to look out over the stunning view of Northspire, a slight smile on his lips. "I just wanted to ask, how's the watch coming along?"
