Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 153

After Serena left, it wasn't long before Aaron and Cynthia Lynwood also made their exit.

The two departed together and got into a Rolls-Royce at the same time, naturally drawing envious glances from onlookers.

Inside the car, Cynthia Lynwood was in high spirits.

Though Aaron always wore a stern expression, she was convinced he cared for her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought this imitation of the Diamond Crown just because she said she liked it.

"Aaron..." Cynthia began, but Aaron cut her off coolly, "This Diamond Crown doesn't suit you. Tomorrow, have Victor take you to buy another piece of jewelry."

With that, he reached out with his long arm and took the Diamond Crown from her.

Cynthia looked at her now-empty hands, her face paling.

After a long pause, she forced a smile and replied, "Alright."

The car cruised steadily down the road.

But her heart had sunk to the depths.
