Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 199

It took a considerable amount of time before Aaron finally lifted his head and met

Serena's gaze.

He casually propped his legs up on the table. "Let's discuss it here."

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate," Serena countered.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Or perhaps," Aaron swirled the wine in his glass, a devilish grin playing on his lips, "Cynthia is just your excuse."

Serena remained silent.

"What I want to say is, when Miss Lynwood supposedly had a compatibility test with me, I checked at the hospital. No such test was ever conducted between us..."

Aaron's eyes narrowed. After a moment, he set down his glass and stood, his voice icy, "Follow me."

Serena watched Aaron walk past her and then glanced at the others in the private room.

Her eyes were calm, disturbingly so, as if she were looking at ghosts.

Everyone held their breath, too afraid to speak.
