Chapter 13

Author: Andrea North
Seraphine stood there and listened as Clarissa and Clifford shamelessly twisted the truth. She never would've thought Clifford would be so indulgent of Clarissa—enough to let her call him her husband in public.

"I'm the one who married you, Clifford. You cheated on me, yet you're now twisting the truth. Doesn't that weigh down your conscience?" she asked, her chest heaving with rage. She'd never been this angry in her life.

Clarissa looked at her with grievance. "What are you talking about, Seraphine? Everyone in Jeriton witnessed Clifford's grand wedding proposal, and we registered our marriage the very next day. When could my husband have had time to marry you? Stop trying to smear his reputation with this nonsense!

"I know he's an outstanding man, and I know you've always wanted to marry him. But matters of the heart can't be forced! Please just stop harassing us, Ms. Lodge. There are plenty of good men in this world—I'm sure you'll meet someone better in the future."

    Clarissa was visibly tense, her fists balled up tightly. She couldn't exactly admit that Seraphine had attacked her because she had dug up Andrea's grave. After all, she had simply acted out of anger.She was also troubled with nightmares last night. Whenever she closed her eyes, it felt like a pair of eyes was watching her from outside and inside her dream."I mean, what else could it be? She's jealous that you're still in love with me. With us flaunting our relationship lately, she couldn't stand it. She saw me downstairs, got into a fight with me, and even grabbed my neck. It still hurts, by the way."Clifford furrowed his brows as he looked at her, his eyes burning with so much intensity that she dared not meet his eyes.Seeing her guilty and uneasy, he couldn't help but admit that maybe Seraphine had a point. Maybe he really was just Clarissa's cash cow."If what you're saying is true, I wouldn't have spent all that time looking for her," he answered.Clifford knew Clarissa

    When Aiden answered Clarissa's call, he was immediately blasted by her voice. "Mr. Fisher, did I tell you to take it down? I don't think so! I've given you tons of money, and this isn't how you should handle things!"Aiden almost cried. He couldn't afford to anger either side, and he simply wanted to live and enjoy his wealth. Couldn't they leave him out of this?His voice trembled with desperation. "Mrs. Johansen, it wasn't my choice to take it down. I'm telling you—my life was just being threatened! I've returned your money, so please, find someone else for this job. I can't do it anymore.""Wait. Who threatened you?" a surprised Clarissa asked.Aiden sighed in frustration. If he knew, he would've gone straight after them, and they wouldn't be having this conversation now."I don't know, and I don't care about your rich-people battles anymore. Just leave us, ordinary folks, out of it, please," he said, then immediately hung up.Clarissa narrowed her eyes at the disconnected cal

    Ultimately, Seraphine didn't take the online clarification route. Instead, she anonymously sent a video to the owner of Sunnest Media, Aiden Fisher.Her computer skills came directly from Andrea, a top-tier expert. There was nothing Seraphine couldn't do if she wanted to.Her independence, composure, and modesty had all been taught by her mother. People thought she was a good girl, but really, she simply had an obsession with knowledge and technology."Remove the hot topic, or this video goes straight to your wife's email," she wrote.At Sunnest Media, Aiden had just gotten off the phone with Clarissa. She had told him to keep the trending topic pinned on top to ensure Seraphine defended her homewrecker label.However, barely a second after he hung up, he received an anonymous threat and video evidence of his infidelity. His mind froze.Who was this? Where did they get this footage? If this leaked, he would be utterly ruined!"What the hell? Why is there a video of it? Who on ea

    Tears shimmered in Seraphine's eyes. "I mean what I said. I want your entire family to pay for what you did. That's the price for desecrating my mother's grave."The fury rolling off her was overwhelming. She had never been this hostile before.Clarissa was genuinely startled by the sheer menace in her, but Seraphine didn't spare her another glance. She turned and walked away.Clarissa coughed hard, feeling her throat burning. She shouted at the retreating figure, "You've got nothing on me! Who said you could accuse and threaten me like that?"Coldly, Seraphine snapped her head back at her. "You really believe I've got nothing on you? If I choose to expose you, you'll only meet your demise quicker."Clarissa felt her stomach twist. When she finally caught her breath, she muttered weakly, "If you had any proof, you would've sent me to jail already."A faint, chilling smile danced on Seraphine's lips. She couldn't believe Clarissa's audacity. "Oh, you're definitely going to prison.

    Seraphine scoffed. "He's more than a nutcase. Back then, I took care of everything for him, so he convinced himself I was helplessly in love with him. After I left, and there was no one catering to him, he got uncomfortable."He only knows how to take, and the minute you stop obeying, you become this unforgivable villain in his story."That was the real reason Clifford wanted to go after her. He wanted her to love him the way she used to, worshipping him so he could feel superior and accomplished.Aria snorted. "All those years of hardship didn't soften him—they sharpened him into something worse. Ugh! Out of all the people in the world, we somehow got entangled with them. I guess that's our karma."Seraphine blinked, then laughed. "Why drag karma into this? We're the good ones. Shouldn't karma be reserved for the bad guys?"Aria patted her shoulder. "What's not to understand? Look at what he's put you through."Seraphine didn't reply to that. She had to admit Aria was right. T

    Seraphine shook her head, watching Aria practically vibrating with gossip.Seraphine wasn't like that. She had always been the quiet, well-behaved type. As Andrea was the calm, silent sort, she had grown up the same way. She liked studying alone and zoning out alone.It wasn't that she hated socializing. She just never needed it.She leaned against the couch, looking lazy and relaxed, and asked, "Aria, isn't it time for you to reflect on why you're still single?"Aria froze, her voice trembling. "Why?"Seraphine laughed. "'Cause you're too busy being nosy."Truly, she had zero interest in hearing another word about Clarissa and Clifford's arguments.Aria was speechless, though she later chuckled with glimmering eyes. "I'm not as single as you think. I did have a boyfriend before…"Her voice trailed off as she lowered her gaze, took a slow breath, and then forced a faint smile back at Seraphine.Seraphine caught the flash of pain in her eyes, the kind she couldn't hide fast eno
