Aria stood up and calmly returned the files to their proper place on the shelf, “Whoever wants it can have tr
Kane’s amber eyes darkened dangerously. “Aria, don’t be ungrateful.”
She ignored his warning.
Kane was about to say something more when his phone rang. He glanced at the screen and saw Seraphina’s name.
Kane looked at Aria, not even attempting to hide the caller’s identity, and decisively answered in a softer tone. “What’s wrong?”
Aria turned away and didn’t look back.
This tone…
It was definitely Seraphina calling.
“Kane, Dr. Ashworth reported Dr. Thorne for some reason, but Dr. Thorne has been kind to me and I believe there must be some misunderstanding. I was wondering if you could help Dr. Thorne?”
Kane tapped his fingertips on the desk absently, his expression remaining indifferent. “Don’t associate with those who are only interested in profit and corruption. I won’t help with his situation.”
He ended the call abruptly.
Aria felt genuinely surprised.
She could guess the purpose of Seraphina’s call–most likely it was to plead for Lucas’s case.
She had assumed Kane would agree immediately.
After all, Kane had never refused Seraphina’s requests in the past.
Kane’s gaze fell on Aria’s back, and after a moment of silence, he slowly stood. “I don’t want to hear that kind of talk about leaving in the future.”
He walked out of the office, leaving Aria staring after his departing figure in bewilderment.
What had she said that bothered him?
Was he having another mood swing?
Seraphina, having been rejected, had no choice but to turn to Selena, who agreed to help without hesitation.

She desperately wanted to tell Seraphina that her cousin had been forced into a bond with a woman he didn’t love, and that woman was nothing but a pathetic follower clinging to Kanel
But if Sera discovered that Kane was bonded to another woman, Kane would definitely be furious with her!
“Sera, you’re overthinking this. My cousin loves you so much–he’s been waiting for you all these years!”
“Is that true?” Seraphina looked at her with vulnerability. “Selena, don’t hide anything from me. Actually, I already know there’s another woman named Aria by Kane’s side, right?”
