Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 63

Alderburg.

When Serena woke up, it was already past ten.

She quickly grabbed her phone, only to see that there was no reply from William in the chat.

Her heart sank.

Of course.

Though she and William were on the brink of getting married, if it weren't for the engagement arranged by the Brooks and Grayson families, they would be nothing more than strangers.

Why would William help someone he barely knew?

Dragging herself out of bed, she moved to the window and pulled back the curtains.

The scene outside stunned her.

Where there had been few security guards before, several bodyguards now stood alert at the entrance.

And every so often, they glanced up towards the second floor.

Serena headed downstairs and found Olivia in the kitchen.

"Why are there so many bodyguards outside all of a sudden?" she asked.

Recalling Aaron’s instructions before he left, Olivia reluctantly replied, "Mr. Vance ordered them to stay and protect you."

Protect?

More like keep an eye on her.

Serena asked casually, "Where's Aaron?"

"He's gone out."

Serena's eyes flickered with thought.

After a moment of contemplation, she looked at Olivia and stated firmly, "I need to leave here."

Olivia looked at Serena in confusion.

Serena continued, "I know you're working for Cynthia Lynwood."
