Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 109

Without a moment's hesitation, Serena picked up the scissors and shredded the wedding dress into pieces. She then called her friend Olivia over and, using Olivia's phone, sent a picture of the ruined dress to Aaron.

Olivia was stunned, "What?!"

At that moment, in a private room at a bar, the atmosphere was lively with people drinking and playing games, thoroughly enjoying themselves. However, they all kept sneaking glances at Aaron. The last time they placed a bet, they all lost. Serena had returned to Alderburg a week later, escorted by the police, no less. And when the wedding invitations for Aaron and Serena went out, everyone was shocked. The combination of their names on the invitation seemed surreal. Some had even set up a secret betting pool on whether the wedding would happen. This time, everyone cautiously bet against it, especially since Cynthia Lynwood had recovered from her illness, rendering Serena seemingly irrelevant.

Suddenly, the quiet room was disrupted by a loud thud. All eyes turned to Aaron, who had crushed a glass in his hand. The bright red blood dripped from his fingers, pooling on the floor. In his other hand, he held his phone, the screen's glow casting a harsh light on his face, highlighting the storm in his eyes.

Frederick, who had been flirting with a new girl, turned at the commotion. He waved for the others to leave, and they quickly obliged, leaving the room to Frederick and Aaron. Frederick approached Aaron, glancing at the phone in his hand. Seeing the image of the shredded wedding dress, his expression changed slightly. "Isn't this the dress you designed especially for Serena? How did it end up like this?"

ago, he and Aaron had gone to finalize the dress, crafted meticulously by Aaron based on Serena's descriptions. Frederick took another glance at the phone, noticing Olivia's contact. Olivia wouldn't dare do something like this-so it
