Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 157

After a brief pause, Serena decided to answer the phone.

"Samuel..."

"Serena," Samuel coughed a couple of times before continuing, "I'm calling to talk about the division of shares in L.S. Entertainment. The lawyer says it'll be finalized next week. After that, you'll have nothing to do with L.S. Entertainment anymore. Are you sure about this?"

Serena exhaled a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I've been sure of it since I decided to leave Aaron."

This was for the best. From now on, she and Aaron would truly have no ties whatsoever.

"Alright then," Samuel drew out his words, "Oh, by the way, the company has been around for many years. Except for the first year when you dined with the other founding members, you haven't shown up much. Since you're soon parting ways with L.S. Entertainment, I've organized a farewell party for you. It's our way of thanking you for your contributions over the years. How do you feel about that?"

Serena wanted to decline, but then she heard Samuel add, "Serena, it's not just my idea. The other founding members are grateful, too. Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today."
