Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 181

Today, Joy was particularly enthusiastic towards Serena. She clung to Serena's arm, eagerly pointing out the school's buildings and every tree and bush along the

way.

After talking nonstop until her mouth was dry, Joy suddenly suggested, "Serena, let's go backstage and have a look."

"Backstage?" Serena asked, puzzled.

"Yeah! My roommate is on the event team and she's getting ready back there. I can introduce you; they've been wanting to meet you."

"Meet me?" Serena echoed, surprised.

Joy nodded earnestly. "I've told them about you-how our family managed to build

a villa in town because of you. They're so envious and have been dying to meet you. Now's the perfect chance."

Without waiting for Serena's reply, Joy decisively pulled her toward the backstage

area.

Serena frowned slightly. "What about your brother and Rock?"

"Don't worry about them..." Joy quickened her pace, as if afraid Serena might change her mind. Once backstage, she eagerly introduced, "Lydia, this is Serena, the one I always talk about..."
