Unwilling Trophy Wife (Serena and Victor) novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191

Alyssa was beautiful, with a little dimple that showed when she smiled. Now that she really thought about it, Alyssa didn’t actually look much like Keith She’d just assumed they were related because that was what she’d been assuming from the start.

“Alyssa came from the same orphanage as you. Tara abandoned her because of Alyssa’s illness. When she found out I’d adopted Alyssa and that her condition was getting better, she started harassing us.” Keith shook his head with a sigh.

‘Alyssa came from the same orphanage as me?‘ Serena thought in shock. She was a bit stunned and couldn’t help but marvel at how deeply connected she and Alyssa seemed to be.

“So if you ever run into Tara again, just try to avoid her. A woman who’s that greedy for money–there’s no telling what she might do next,” Keith said with a slight sigh.

”

His expression grew apologetic. “I never thought she’d track you down here. If I had known, I would never have let her come bother you.”

Serena shook her head gently. Even though Keith hadn’t told her the whole truth before, she wasn’t the type to cause unnecessary drama. She knew perfectly well that if anyone was to blame for this mess, it should be Nicole.

“I understand what happened now, but this whole thing still looks bad at the office. We should probably clear the air at some point,” Serena said,

Not many people seemed to believe what they’d just heard, and Serena didn’t want to leave things like that.

“Sure, I’ll take care of it,” Keith agreed.

With that issue resolved, Serena felt a lot more at ease. But when she looked up, she noticed Keith was watching her with a strangely complicated expression. It seemed like he had something he wanted to tell her.

“What’s wrong?” Serena asked first.

Keith looked at her with that same complex expression and said, “How’s your relationship with the director of your orphanage?”

Serena hadn’t expected him to ask about that, but it wasn’t anything she couldn’t talk about. As she thought back to all the years Tiana had taken care of her, her expression softened considerably.

“Tiana’s looked after me since I was little. She’s the best person in the world, and I think of her as family–even though we’re not blood–related,” Serena replied.

But when she looked up, Keith’s expression had turned cold. Before Serena could even react, he spoke up. “You can go now. I have other things to deal with.”

Serena could tell Keith was angry, but she couldn’t figure out why. She was about to say something when Keith’s voice got sharper and he spoke again, “Get out.”

Even though Serena didn’t understand what was happening, she could see that something was seriously wrong with Keith right now. Instead of pushing for answers, she turned around and left his office.

‘Did I say something wrong just now?‘ Serena thought.
