Chapter 199 It took a considerable amount of tbefore Aaron finally lifted his head and met Serena's gaze.

He casually propped his legs up on the table. "Let's discuss it here." "I'm afraid that's not appropriate," Serena countered.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Or perhaps," Aaron swirled the wine in his glass, a devilish grin playing on his lips, "Cynthia is just your excuse." Serena remained silent.

"What I want to say is, when Miss Lynwood supposedly had a compatibility test with me, I checked at the hospital. No such test was ever conducted between us..." Aaron's eyes narrowed. After a moment, he set down his glass and stood, his voice icy, "Follow me." Serena watched Aaron walk past her and then glanced at the others in the private room.

Her eyes were calm, disturbingly so, as if she were looking at ghosts.

Everyone held their breath, too afraid to speak.

It wasn't until Serena's figure disappeared from the doorway for quite stthat someone dared to voice a hesitant question.

"Was that really the Serena we know?" The group exchanged confused looks, unable to answer.

In the shadows of the room, Frederick watched the door with keen interest.

He had assumed Serena would eventually ccrawling back to Aaron.

To his surprise...

A smirk appeared on his lips.

It seemed his understanding of Serena was rather shallow.

In the adjoining room, after the door closed, Aaron's clenched arm was still pulsing with tension.

"What do you want to say?" he demanded.

Serena calmly took out her phone and played a recording.

At first, Aaron listened with a frown, but when he heard Matthew mention Cynthia Lynwood, his brow furrowed deeper.

The recording ended.

Aaron remained with his fists clenched, the veins in his arms throbbing more fiercely.

"Where did you get this recording?" "Dr. Owens gave it to me," Serena replied, looking directly into Aaron's eyes. "It's attempted murder, Mr. Vance. You wouldn't cover for Cynthia Lynwood, would you?" Aaron's heart skipped a beat.

"If she truly did something like that, I certainly wouldn't protect her!" Serena was quite taken aback.

Aaron wasn't reacting as she had expected.

"Are you sure you wouldn't cover for her?" she pressed.

"Of course not," Aaron's voice turned colder. "What are you insinuating? Do you think I would shield a criminal?" "But you yourself admitted that sending Cynthia Lynwood abroad had ulterior motives. Didn't you sense something was wrong and wanted her out of the spotlight?" Aaron frowned.

He did have personal reasons for sending Cynthia away.

But they had nothing to do with Cynthia Lynwood herself.

"I will investigate this thoroughly."

"No need for you to investigate," Serena said with clear distrust in her eyes. "I have the witnesses. If you don't believe me, I can take you to them." Aaron's long fingers tapped lightly on the armrest. "Bring them here."

"No way!" Serena's tone was firm, leaving no room for argument."M don't trust your territory." Aaron's frown deepened, almost to the point of crushing.

"You really don't trust me?" Serena remained silent.

Aaron studied her elegant profile for a long moment before letting out a cold laugh "You don't trust me, but you trust Samuel? Do you think he'd let his own sister take the fall?" Serena whipped her head to look at Aaron.

How did Aaron know about Joy drugging her? "I managed to prepare the antidote and clothes in advance because someone slippeda note. Care to guess who gavethat note?"
