LittleNovelChapter 41 Under the watchful eye of the security camera, the captured images were remarkably clear. Even when magnified significantly, the picture retained its crispness. This allowed Aaron to clearly see the figure, whose eyes were filled with resentment, staring intently ahead. And right in front of her was Serena.
The revelation sent a shiver down Aaron's spine. He couldn't believe that someone in Alderburg harbored such animosity toward Serena.
"Find out who this woman is!" he ordered, his voice tinged with urgency. Serena's mysterious disappearance might be tied to this woman.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrederick cast a casual glance at the screen and replied nonchalantly, "No need to investigate. That woman is Maggie." "How do you know?" Aaron asked, his face etched with surprise.
Frederick chuckled, "She's Cynthia Lynwood's close friend. You claim to be so enamored with Cynthia, yet you don't recognize her bestie? That's quite unusual." Aaron's expression shifted multiple times, but with the pressing need to locate Serena, he had no interest in explaining to Frederick that he had no romantic feelings for Cynthia Lynwood.
"Why does she despise Serena so much?" Frederick scratched his head, bemused by Aaron's obliviousness to matters of the heart. "It's quite simple. Imagine if someone stole your best friend's partner. You'd have a bone to pick with the homewrecker too, wouldn't you?" "I wouldn't," Aaron replied flatly.
Frederick sighed, "Of course you wouldn't." He realized Aaron wasn't the best example for such situations. "Anyway," Frederick continued as he settled onto the nearby couch, "I heard at the restaurant that Maggie and Serena had a heated argument. Do you want to see the footage?" Aaron frowned, "Play it." Frederick, slightly annoyed by Aaron's commanding tone, clicked open the video of Serena and Maggie's altercation. Watching Maggie publicly accuse Serena of being a ho ewrecker, Aaron felt the tension in the room escalate. Other voices in the crowd joined in, echoing the accusation.
Serena appeared caught in a storm, and Aaron's brow furrowed even deeper, his breath coming in shallow gasps. "Is this how they all see Serena?" he asked, his voice strained and raw.
Frederick looked at Aaron, surprised. "You didn't know? Ever since you've been jet-setting to see Cynthia Lynwood, rumors have been swirling that Serena's the other woman. It was a murmur until Cynthia returned." Frederick eyed Aaron curiously, "So, Aaron, is Serena really a homewrecker?" Despite their close friendship, Frederick and Aaron never pried into each other's personal lives. Aaron felt a painful tug at his heart. Even Frederick doubted Serena.
"She's not a homewrecker. I have no relationship with Cynthia Lynwood," Aaron declared.
Frederick scratched his head again, "If there's nothing between you and Cynthia, then why-"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAaron cut him off sharply, "We need to find Maggie and ask her ask her where Serena is." Frederick sighed in resignation. As dawn broke, Serena awoke to find her phone buzzing with messages from Samuel.
"Serena, have you seen the news?" one read.
"Haven't woken up yet? Make sure to turn on the TV when you do," said another.
"Aaron clooking for you at my place. Didn't find you but don'Pworry, e I didn't disclose your address."
Serena sighed and switched on the TV. Every local channel was broadcasting her photos andO M e information. She realized that despite Samuel's discretion, Aaron's efforts to locate her were relentless and substantial.
