Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 296

Although William hadn't said a word, Fern could see it he was genuinely smitten this time.

Mr. Grayson-usually so poised and unapproachable-was finally willing to come down from his pedestal and get his hands dirty.

Fern couldn't help but wonder what William would even look like in love.

Lost in thought, Fern strolled cheerfully toward the hotel doors. But just a few steps later, his expression changed in an instant.

Right outside the entrance, he spotted Serena being pulled toward a Rolls-Royce by a man who, if possible, was even better looking than himself.

That guy... Why did he look so familiar?

It took Fern a moment to place him.

Aaron.

The wealthiest man in Alderburg.

Not only that, he was the youngest self-made billionaire in the country.

Three years ago, after William's legs were crippled in a car accident, his two half- brothers had been circling like sharks, desperate to snatch the “youngest billionaire" title for themselves.

But no one had expected Aaron to appear out of nowhere.

After all, the youngest tycoons were usually born from the cutthroat world of cities like New York, London, or Paris.
