Chapter 159: The Shape in the Dark
Elias did not believe a word out of Serena's mouth.
There was no such thing as a person who never lied.
And Serena Blackwood was a businesswoman. Lying was practically a passive skill. On top of that, one of her defining traits was being top-tier at everything she touched.

Even if Serena's favorability reached one hundred percent, that did not mean she would never lie again.
That kind of trait could not be scrubbed clean.
Elias understood this perfectly.
