Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 73

Olivia said, "Alright, Miss Sullivan."

Vivian and Olivia's voices overlapped almost perfectly.

Vivian was momentarily speechless. Olivia, too, said nothing.

After a while, Vivian finally spoke, disbelief coloring her voice. "Olivia, did Serena threaten you? Is that why you're listening to her? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you."

Olivia felt awkward. She had once accepted money from Cynthia Lynwood to keep an eye on Serena. But now, she just wanted to do the right thing.

"Olivia, you can go now," Serena said, helping Olivia out of the uncomfortable situation. Once Olivia had left, Serena turned to Vivian. "What brings you here?"

Vivian was still reeling from shock. "Se... Serena, did you...?"

Could Serena have drugged Olivia? She remembered that Olivia used to look down on Serena more than any of the other staff!

Serena ignored Vivian and walked over to the couch, taking a seat.

Vivian was stunned by the indifference. Not long ago, Serena would have bent over backward to please her, fearful of saying the wrong thing. Could the rumors be true? Had Serena really stopped caring about her brother? Impossible...

Just then, the sound of a car horn came from outside. Aaron had returned.

Vivian brightened and rushed to greet Aaron. "Brother!" she exclaimed, though her eyes flicked back to Serena, who remained seated on the couch, unmoved.

How could this be? In the past, whenever her brother came home, Serena would be eagerly at his side, ready to help with his bags or serve him tea. She practically played the role of a servant.

"Hello," Aaron acknowledged her with a brief nod, his gaze landing on Serena.

Feeling Aaron's eyes on her, Serena turned to greet him, her discomfort evident. "You're back," she said with a slight smile, a stark contrast to her previous coldness.
