Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 42

Just then, the channel on the television abruptly switched.

A familiar face appeared on the screen.

It was Maggie, the woman Serena had encountered at the restaurant the previous night. However, on the television, she looked nothing like the self-assured woman she had met then.

Her eyes were swollen, as if she'd been crying all night. As she faced the camera, tears streamed down her cheeks like a broken string of pearls.

"Serena, are you watching this? I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have called you a homewrecker without knowing the full story. I'm sorry, Mr. Vance explained everything to me. He and Cynthia are not a couple; they were never together. It was a misunderstanding on my part."

Serena stared at the screen, dumbfounded.

The only person capable of making Maggie apologize on a local TV station was Aaron.

Which meant...

She sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
