Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 224

In this life, aside from her father, William was the very first person to openly stand up for her.

To say she wasn't moved would be a lie.

Watching as the crowd swarmed around Serena and William, Cynthia Lynwood's brow furrowed sharply.

Ever since she'd learned Aaron was coming to Northspire, her mind had been in turmoil.

She'd packed her things late at night and followed him here, unable to rest easy.

For the past few days, aside from when she slept, she had barely left Aaron's side.

Not until she saw that Aaron made no effort to see Serena did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But just a few nights ago, she'd stumbled upon something unexpected: after Aaron returned to his room each evening, he would rest for half an hour, then slip out again.

Curiosity got the better of her, and she secretly tailed him.

That's when she saw Aaron drive straight to the antique restoration center.

If she hadn't seen Serena exit the center and get into another woman's car with her own eyes, Cynthia never would have believed Aaron was there for Serena.

That night, Aaron had followed Serena's car, and she in turn had followed Aaron.
