Chapter 121

Serena stood there, biting her lip as she faced the roguishly charming man in front of her.

Frederick!

He was Aaron's closest friend.

Though their encounters had been few, Serena had never liked Frederick.

He was notorious for his cavalier attitude toward relationships, changing partners more often than he changed his clothes. Even though he was generous with breakup settlements, the way he treated love as a game was exactly the sort of behavior Serena despised.

"Mr. Foster, are you trying to stop me?" Serena took a deep breath, her expression softening slightly as she spoke.

Frederick gave a slight, rakish smile. "I am."

"And what if I insist on leaving?" Serena asked.

"Then I'm afraid I'll have to be less than courteous."

At his words, a group of bodyguards emerged from behind Frederick.

Immediately, William's men stepped forward, encircling Serena protectively. Tension crackled in the air as both sides stood ready to clash.

Suddenly, the sound of a wheelchair rolling across the floor cut through the standoff, followed by a voice as warm as a spring breeze. "Mr. Foster."
