Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 70

Two seconds later.

Rock sent Serena a live location update.

As Rock's fingers zoomed in and out on the tablet’s map, Serena held her breath.

The map's address expanded from Alderburg, gradually zooming into the city, the district... until it settled on Rosewood Gardens.

Serena’s breath caught in her throat as Rock's fingers pinpointed the map's B3 area.

B3, the villa where she resided.

So!

Was Aaron the one who reported her?!

This conclusion felt like a stone lodged in Serena’s throat.

“Serena, are you still with me?”

Rock's voice, urgent and clear, came through the phone.

Serena clenched her fists tightly, a sharp pain in her stomach from anxiety, snapping her back to reality. She picked up her phone, taking deep, calming breaths to steady herself.

When she finally spoke, her voice trembled.

“I’m here. I understand. You don’t need to investigate further. I’ll transfer the remaining money to your bank account.”

With that, she ended the call, gripping her phone so hard it nearly warped under the pressure.

She didn’t know how much time passed before there was a knock at the door.

“Come in.”

Aaron entered, carrying a bowl of nourishing soup.

Whenever his stomach issues flared up, Serena would always cook him a comforting soup.

The soup was warm and soothing, relieving his discomfort.

But Aaron was never the one to cook. He had Olivia do it for him.

However, Olivia’s soup never tasted quite like Serena’s.
