Chapter 1030

The servant stood frozen in shock, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded.

How… how could this have happened? How did Lila end up in the room instead of Selena?

She distinctly remembered helping Selena into that very room and watching as the family doctor applied the patch to her ankle. The patch, once applied for more than a minute, should have released the drug into Selena’s system, gradually taking effect. But now everything had gone terribly wrong.

Pale and trembling, the servant knew that her role in this failed scheme had been exposed. There would be no good outcome for her. She began to retreat, hoping to slip away unnoticed. “Leaving so soon?”

A lazy, magnetic voice suddenly spoke from behind her.

Startled, she spun around to see Aaron standing in the doorway. His tall, imposing figure blocked the exit, preventing anyone from leaving easily.

“I… I…” The servant stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence, trapped in her fear.
