Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 167

Samuel's eyes flickered with a hint of surprise. "Hold on a moment, I'll go take a look."

He opened the door.

"Why were you so slow..." Joy's voice trailed off abruptly the moment she saw Serena. She stood frozen at the threshold, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. "Serena..."

Perhaps because of Samuel's presence, Serena didn't harbor as much resentment towards Joy as she might have expected.

Yet, there was still a trace of unease between them.

Thus, when she responded, her tone was noticeably cooler. "Yeah."

Joy glanced nervously at Serena before averting her eyes.

That day, she'd received a call from her roommate, informing her that Rock had come by their dorm to see her. Joy had been thrilled and rushed back, only to find that Rock had already left.

When she went to look for him, Rock's only words were, "Let's just delete each other."

It felt like a bolt from the blue.

She demanded an explanation from Rock.

But he was impatient. "I don't like you. I added you as a friend because of Moonhaven. So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think it's better for both of us if we just delete each other."

With that, he walked away without a second thought.
