The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 435

She had no idea where those two men were now. But she knew they had succeeded. Piper was ruined.

The corners of her lips curved up again. This time, she forced it down and didn't laugh out loud.

Shangri-La Paris, Room 1707.

Sunlight streamed through the windows, casting bright pools of light onto the carpet. Christian Lancaster stood by the window, a cigarette pinched between his fingers. The smoke drifted up into the sunbeams, blurring his sharp silhouette.

A knock sounded at the door. Miles walked in, holding a tablet.

"Mr. Lancaster, Serena Sterling has boarded her flight."

Christian didn't turn around. "And the two men?"

"Our contacts confirm they've been dealt with cleanly." Miles paused. "As for Serena... will she talk? When Leo doesn't return, the Vance family is bound to hound her for answers."

Christian flicked his ash. "I'm not worried she'll talk; I'm worried she won't have the nerve. Make the arrangements. Notify the families that their sons aren't coming home. Let them go to Serena demanding answers. Let's see how she spins it."

Miles nodded. "Understood."

He stood there, hesitating for a moment before speaking again. "Mr. Lancaster, the DNA paternity test report has arrived."

Christian's fingers paused. He turned around, his gaze locking onto his assistant.

Miles walked over, handed him the tablet, then took two large steps back, keeping a safe distance.
