Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 280

...

After Aaron left that night, Serena barely slept for days.

And no, it wasn't because of Aaron himself.

It was what he'd said that kept her awake.

If it hadn't been for Aaron pushing Penelope to sue her, Serena honestly couldn't imagine who else would've done it.

"Serena..."

Abby's voice suddenly cut through her thoughts, making Serena jump.

She turned to see Abby grinning from ear to ear.

"It's the final episode today. Are you ready?"

Serena nodded slightly, still a little out of it.

Abby, on the other hand, looked downright jubilant. She shot a glance at the makeup artist, signaling for her to step outside.

Once the door closed, Abby lowered her voice, practically giddy. "I just spoke with the producers. They said this show's online popularity is all thanks to you. So, that spot for the international art exchange in Eldoria? It's yours! Oh, and the higher- ups know Miss Lynwood was Mr. Vance's pick, but the whole internet can see she's just a pretty face. You're the real deal. When you're on air later, don't be nervous. Just... try not to make Miss Lynwood look too bad, okay?"
