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, cthrough 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 tpassed before there was a knock at the door.

"Cin." 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.

Aaron wasn't sure where it went wrong, so he settled for bringing Olivia's version instead.

As he entered, his gaze met Serena's cold, reddened eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

Lately, Serena had been looking at him with that schilling stare.

"Olivia made you ssoup. You should have it while it's warm," Aaron said nonchalantly, placing the bowl on the bedside table, though his eyes kept drifting towards Serena's crimson eyes.

He frowned, uncomfortable.

Serena glared at Aaron, emotions swirling inside her like a storm at sea.

She couldn't believe Aaron was the one who reported her.

Aaron's intention was clear-he wanted to keep her in Alderburg! She didn't understand! She had already stepped back, willingly letting Aaron and Cynthia Lynwood be together, so why was Aaron still holding onto her? There was no way she'd delude herself into thinking Aaron wouldn't let go because he liked her.

The only explanation was clear- Until Cynthia Lynwood fully recovered, Aaron intended to extract every last bit of value from her! Ha!

Serena tilted her head back, the sunset's glow casting a fractured a light over her face as a bitter smile cracked her perfect features: "Aaron, you makesick!" Aaron's expression changed instantly, his brows furrowing. "I didn't know you went to the hospital..." Serena pointed towards the door. "Get out! I don't want to see you!" "Serena!" Aaron's tone becsharp. "I was wrong to blyou without knowing the full story, but aren't you pushing it too far now?"

Serena's gaze grew colder. "Yes, I'm being unreasonable! If you like m fairness so so much, go to Cynthia Lynwood. Why are you tormenting me?!" Aaron felt a headache coming on. He didn't understand what was going on with Serena.

She couldn't stop mentioning Cynthia Lynwood.

"I'm already helping to find a match for Cynthia. Once she has the elve has the m surgery, I'll send her back to the hospital abroad for recovery. She won't interfere with us!" Serena laughed in exasperation.
