Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 178

Sure enough, there were recordings of the conversations with Matthew.

The content matched exactly what Dr. Owens had said.

It revealed that Cynthia Lynwood wanted her dead and had fabricated the results of the donor match.

Then, she was sent to the operating table.

Once she was there, she was as helpless as a lamb to the slaughter, at Matthew’s mercy.

Unfortunately...

Serena narrowed her eyes as a sudden thought struck her. "Why did you say it was Aaron’s idea that day?"

Dr. Owens paled, trembling slightly. "I... I don’t know. It was Dr. Grayson who instructed me to say so, and he emphasized it several times."

Serena eyed Dr. Owens.

He didn’t seem to be lying.

If Aaron was unaware... then the Tri-Glaze Pottery incident...

"Serena, what do we do next? Should we call the police?" Rock asked, lowering his voice after Serena seemed to have gotten all the answers she needed.

When he mentioned the police, he hesitated, glancing at the gun.

Serena shook her head.

They couldn’t involve the police.

If Aaron were protecting Cynthia Lynwood, reporting it would only alert them.

"If I'm not mistaken, the reason you haven’t left is because you’re waiting here for Matthew to arrange your departure."

Dr. Owens and the nurse flinched, then looked down guiltily.

"Your phones haven’t been connected to the internet, so you probably don’t know that Matthew has been arrested, do you?"

They both looked up in shock at Serena.

Serena had Rock show them the court’s verdict documents.

"No problem."

With that, Serena turned to leave, taking the recordings with her.

Rock hesitated for a second before following Serena out.

Once in the elevator, he couldn’t help but ask, "Serena, are we just going to leave them like that? Aren’t you worried they might escape?"

"They won’t run. We have the recordings as evidence. Even if they flee to the ends of the earth, they’ll be hunted down. Right now, their only option is to stay put and wait for my instructions." Serena smiled slightly, the harshness disappearing from her face.

Rock still felt uneasy. "Serena, what’s your next move?"

Serena stepped out of the hotel.

The first rays of dawn touched her brow, and she lifted her head to the morning sun, smiling. "Make a deal."

In the sunlight, a gentle breeze blew freely.

Despite having worked through the night, Serena felt far from tired.
