NovelsFreeChapter 156 Serena dialed Rock's number and waited, her fingers tapping impatiently against the phone. It took over a minute before Rock finally picked up.
"Are you in class?" Serena asked, trying to keep her tone light.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" Serena inquired, concern creeping into her voice.
"No..." Rock's voice tightened with anxiety. "Serena, you're calling to ask if I betrayed you, aren't you?" Serena was taken aback but then chuckled softly. "Why would I ask you that?" Rock was puzzled. "The incident in Moonhaven Town-only Joy's family and I knew about it. Joy's family would never betray you, so it had to be me..." "So it was you?" Serena teased, feigning seriousness.
Rock quickly protested, "Serena, it wasn't me! I swear, it really wasn't! If it were me, I'd be hit by a bus the moment I stepped out!" Serena interrupted him, "Relax, I know it wasn't you." Rock was stunned, disbelief evident in his silence. "You never suspected me?" "You promisedyou'd keep it a secret," Serena said with a gentle smile. "I know you're someone who keeps their word." Relief washed over Rock, and he finally allowed himself to breathe. A few days ago, Samuel had confronted him. That was when Rock learned Serena hadn't left Alderburg but had returned. Samuel suspected there was a mole, which had left Rock feeling uneasy ever since.
Despite his usual aloof demeanor, which made him indifferent to others' opinions, he couldn't shake the feeling of dread about how Serena might perceive him. But now, hearing that Serena never doubted him, warmth spread through his chest, and he managed a small smile. Soon, though, his brow furrowed again.
"Serena, if it's not me, and it's not the Lewises, then who could it be?" Serena's lips curled into a slight smile, but her eyes turned cold. She ruled out Samuel, who would never betray her. Shirley had been with her constantly during that time, and Zachary was overseas with no opportunity at all. That left only... Serena shook her head, unwilling to pursue the thought any further.

"I thought you might not need it anymore." "Yes, I do. And I need you to find two specific people for me." "Who are they?" "I only know one is named Dr. Owens, and the other is a nurse..." Serena briefly described the two who had tricked her into going to the hospital.
"Got it, Serena. Leave it to me. I'll track them down," Rock promised. Le "Thank you.
After hanging up, Serena was about to switch off her phone when a message from Cynthia Lynwo popped upot was four images of gold jewelry: a necklace, bracelet, anklet, and earrings. With the ring Cynthia had previously sent, it was clear she was planning a wedding.
Serena tossed her phone aside and headed to the kitchen to make dinner. After eating, she settled on the couch immersing herself in her favorite TV series. The day slipped away quickly, but as night fell, her phone rang again. It was Samuel calling. Serena hesitated, unsure whether she should pick up.
