Samuel followed Serena into the side gallery. Seeing there were only a few people around, he whispered, "Serena, if you want to leave, we can just go. Why stay just to spite Aaron?" Serena chuckled softly, "I'm not staying to spite Aaron. I've realized something." "Realized?" "Yes, I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I avoid Aaron?

So she softened her voice and said, "There are sexcellent pieces tonight. Shall we go downstairs and take a look?" Aaron avoided Cynthia Lynwood's outstretched hand, straightening up as he scanned her from head to toe. His gaze was sharp as a knife.
"Why did you clash with Serena?" "I didn't. Serena might just be in a bad mood, but it's no big deal!" Aaron's eyes remained cold.
"In the future, don't provoke her." With that, he headed downstairs.

"Alright." Samuel smiled warmly.
Serena blushed slightly and hurried to the restroom.
Just as she finished, she heard two women talking outside.
"Didn't Miss Lynwood go abroad recently? Why is she back?"
"Haven't you heard? Miss Lynwood said she's going to marry Mr. Vance." to marry! El Serena's hand pressed against the flush button. The sound of running water echoed, startling the two women at the sink.
