PopularNovelChapter 114 Serena sat comfortably in the cozy armchair, smiling warmly as she spoke, "Grandpa, I'm really happy to have this chat with you." She wasn't just being polite.
She was genuinely delighted.
After so many years, finally, someone who could discuss antiques with her.
Aaron had no interest in antiques; whenever she brought them up, he always seemed impatient.
Yet, this was the sman who remembered Cynthia Lynwood's fondness for Tri-Glaze Pottery.
Thinking of the missing Tri-Glaze Pottery, Serena felt a pang of regret.
"Well, I should take my medication now. We'll chat again next time," the old man waved his hand and ended the call.

I learned so much, how could it be a bother?" "That's good to hear." William gazed at Serena, his eyes twinkling with warmth. Serena felt a tad uncomfortable. "It's getting late. I should head back home." "Alright, I'll have Finn drive you." As Serena followed Finn and took a couple of steps, William called out to her. "What is it?" Serena turned back, curious.
"Thank you for helping my grandparents restore their vase. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask." Serena raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Really?" "Yes, really." William nodded sincerely, his gaze clear and free of any business-like cunning.
Serena felt her heartstrings tugged ever so slightly. "Thank you." As she followed Finn out of the hotel, Serena spotted a Rolls Royce parked at the entrance. Its sleek black body exuded an air of mystery and understated elegance, much like its owner-despite the luxury exterior, it was just as unapproachable.
"Miss Sullivan..." "You can head back," Serena said calmly.
Finn nodded slightly, turning back into the hotel.
It was then that the Rolls Royce's door opened slowly, and Aaron stepped out, clad in a sharp black suit. His features were taut, his gaze intense and dark as he looked at Serena, as if attempting to draw her into his orbit.
Serena met his gaze, her eyes clear and unwavering.
"Get in," Aaron commanded, his voice cold.
Serena ignored him and instead pulled out her phone to call a taxi.
Aaron's expression darkened immediately. He stepped forward, grabbing Serena's wrist firmly.
With decisive strides, he headed toward the car.
"Let go of me!" Serena protested, bending down to bite Aaron in defiance.
Aaron, immune to her usual tactics, tightened his grip and pushed Serena into the back seat.
The car door slammed shut with a deafening thud.
Serena sat still, startled, before the vehicle took off like an arrow on the off road. She buckled her seatbelt.

The car stopped at Rosewood Gardens.
Aaron got out, pulling Serena along to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Serena's heart pounded with a sense of foreboding.
She clung to the railing with one arm, refusing to budge "Aaron, what's gotten into you?!"
Hearing this, Aaron paused, a slight smile breaking his icy demeanom "Since you think I'm crazy, tonight, I'll En. show you just how crazy I can be." Serena's eyes widened in shock.
The next moment, Aaron scooped her up with force.
Her feet left the ground, stripping away any sense of security.
