Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 28

Aaron was feeling restless.

He raised his hand and caught Serena's chin.

Her head tilted back, exposing the graceful curve of her neck and shoulders.

Yet, her eyes held a deeper coldness.

Aaron’s agitation only grew.

Just then, a clear knock came from the door.

Both turned simultaneously.

A man stood at the entrance.

Serena recognized him.

It was James Lawrence, the chief attorney for Vance Enterprises. Aaron's mother had often sent him to find her.

Every time, it was the same—offering her money to leave Aaron.

James looked a bit awkward. He cleared his throat gently, "I hope I'm not interrupting?"

Aaron frowned, suppressing his irritation, "Are we ready to go?"

James glanced at Serena before responding, "Mr. Vance, all the paperwork is complete. You can leave whenever you’re ready."

Aaron acknowledged him with a nod but didn't rush to leave. Instead, he shot Serena a casual glance.

Serena sat poised in her chair, utterly still.

As if they were nothing but air.

Aaron's anger simmered beneath the surface. He pressed his fingers to his temple and spoke coldly, "Serena, don't you have anything to say?"

Serena acted as if she didn't hear him, maintaining her slight head tilt.

James raised an eyebrow, surprised.

Although he hadn’t interacted with Serena much, he knew she was always submissive in front of Aaron.

But the Serena before him didn’t seem like a submissive woman.
