Chapter 108 In the end, she let go.

"The wedding is almost here, and I don't want any scandals. Stop seeing William from now on!" Aaron threw this statement over his shoulder as he stormed out.

Serena watched Aaron's retreating figure, the smile on her face slowly cracking.

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Serena changed into her pajamas and lay down in bed. As part of her nightly ritual, she picked up her phone. There was a message from Cynthia Lynwood.

[You don't honestly think that wedding dress would upset me, do you? Clearly, you know nothing.] [That dress was designed by Aaron for me. If it weren't for the sudden failure of my kidneys five years ago resulting in the wedding's cancellation, you'd never have even seen it.] So, it was true.

Aaron had designed the dress for Cynthia Lynwood.

Having her suspicions confirmed, Serena let out a mocking laugh and replied: [It doesn't matter because, in the end, I'm the one marrying Aaron!] It only took a minute for Serena to receive a furious reply.

[Serena!!!! Don't get too smug! Aaron is marrying you out of pity, not love!] Serena's lips curled up as her eyes lingered on the word "pity," and her heart gave a small pang.

She reached for the inteand called Olivia.

"Miss Sullivan, what can I do for you?" "Call the bridal shop and have them take the wedding dress back tomorrow." Olivia was puzzled. The dress that arrived today was so beautiful. Was Miss Sullivan really not satisfied with it? "Yes, ma'am." Seeing Olivia hesitate, Serena added, "That's all. You can leave now." Olivia reluctantly exited the bedroom.

The next day, instead of the bridal shop staff, Serena received a call from Aaron.

"The bridal shop called me. They said you want to return the dress?" Aaron's voice was cold and emotionless over the phone.

Serena was carefully piecing together a broken vase. She smiled faintly at his words, "I'm not returning it, Aaron. I simply don't need a wedding dress because I have no intention of marrying you!" Aaron paused, gripping his phone tighter. "Stop being unreasonable. The invitations have already gone out. This wedding is happening! And the dress is staying; it's the one at home." With that, Aaron ended the call.

Serena stood with the phone in hand, taking a moment to compose herself. With a cynical laugh, she handed the phone back to Olivia.

Olivia looked at Serena with concern. "Miss Sullivan..." "I'm fine. You can go now." "Yes, ma'am."

Olivia left, closing the door behind her with a sigh. It was strange. Miss 5m Sullivan had always dreamed of marrying Mr. Vance. Now that the opportunity was here, why did she seem so reluctant?

After Olivia's departure, Serena remained focused, channeling all her energy into restoring the broken vase. As the pieces ctogether under her meticulous care, a satisfied smile spread across her face. They say a shattered mirror can't be mended, but they haven't met a skilled restorer.

Serena worked late into the evening until hunger forced her to leave the room and head for the dining room NO As she passed the wardrobe, something white in the corner caught her eye. Serena paused, then turned back to the small room, grabbed a pair of scissors, and returned to the doorway of the room where the wedding dress was kept.
