Chapter 64 As soon as the door opened, Olivia's voice floated up from downstairs. "Why aren't you drinking? Are you turning down my cooking?" A clear voice responded, "No, Olivia. We're on duty and can't leave. If Miss Sullivan goes missing, Mr. Vance would never let us off the hook." Olivia sighed. "I just checked-Miss Sullivan is fast asleep. It's just a bowl of soup.

"Delicious, Olivia. Your cooking is fantastic." Olivia forced a smile, her mind uneasy as her eyes kept darting toward the back door.

Not far away, a Rolls-Royce was slowly approaching her.
She could recognize that car anywhere, even if it turned into dust.

If she bolted, she would certainly be recognized.
Her only option now was to...

But only for a second. The next moment, the car suddenly turned and drove toward her.

In her moment of hesitation, the car door opened, and Aaron, radiating a cold aura, stepped out. His deep eyes Out were as icy as snow. "Where do you think you're going?" After dealing with the antiques, he rushed back without resting for a moment, only to find Serena trying to flee.

Aaron frowned. "The antiques have been returned. You don't need to go to Northspire." Serena's head jerked up, something flickering in her eyes.
"How do you know about the antiques?"
