NovelEndChapter 56 The staff refused her entry, yet she managed to snatch several unopened antiques. Among them was the jeweled five-feathered golden crown.
The old chairman received the news that evening.
He immediately called the police.
However, your mother insisted that you had instructed her to collect them, leaving the chairman in an awkward position as an outsider.
The police also mentioned that they needed to wait for your return before taking further action.
"Serena, you see this..." Serena's expression shifted several times.

But- Only a few officers in Alderburg and Aaron knew she couldn't return.
Aaron had no contact with Penelope.
So it must be...
Serena glanced down at her phone, where a message notification from Cynthia Lynwood appeared.
It was an image.
She didn't open it, instead staring at the screen for a long, contemplative moment, her gaze as heavy as a fog- laden morning.
At the hospital.
Outside the patient room.
Matthew glanced at Cynthia Lynwood, who was sneakily playing on her phone in bed, and quickly closed the door as Aaron approached.
"Aaron..." Matthew eyed the weary Aaron, "I was really out of options today, which is why I let Cynthia call you." Aaron's tone was icy: "Why is she having nightmares?" "Perhaps...the director mentioned toearlier that they still haven't found a suitable kidney donor. Cynthia overheard and it troubled her, causing the nightmares."

Sensing Aaron's impatience, Matthew hesitated, but the image of Cynthia Lynwood's tear-streaked face bolstered his resolve. "Aaron, you know very well how much Cynthia relies on you.

"Mr. Vance, it's bad, Miss Sullivan, she-she..." "What happened to Serena?" Aaron's voice instantly sharpened.
Matthew's face changed.
Serena was using the stactic.
Utterly shameless.
But for Cynthia Lynwood's sake, he wouldn't let Aaron leave.
"Aaron..." Matthew blocked his path again, "Serena is fine, don't be m fooled!"
Aaron's cold gaze was like a blade as it landed on Matthew. How can you be so sure Serena is fine?" Matthew was at a loss for words.
