Chapter 141

Author: Andrea North
Clarissa caught that mysterious smile on Seraphine's face, and for the first time, unease crept into her chest. For years, she had done whatever it took to make a profit, crossing every line without a shred of moral restraint. But she'd been forced into it.

She wanted the glamorous life everyone dreamed of, but to get there, she had to use every trick in her arsenal.

"Seraphine, what's that supposed to mean?" She couldn't help asking.

Seraphine stood bathed in the morning light, her smile radiant and graceful, exuding a captivating glow. "Why don't you take a guess, Clarissa?"

With that, she walked straight into the building, not sparing Clifford a single glance.

Clifford's eyes went unfocused as he stared at her calm, composed figure.

Valerie had just been arrested. Where did Seraphine get that kind of confidence? How could she still smile like that?

"Clifford, are you done staring yet?" Clarissa snapped, furious at the way his eyes lingered on Seraphine every time she walked a

    Seraphine quickly shook her head and shot to her feet. "I'm fine, Eli. I'll… do the dishes now.""Okay," Elliott replied hoarsely.He dared not force things too abruptly. After all, she had just been hurt by Clifford, that bastard, and it wouldn't be easy to win her heart and trust. As such, he decided to be patient and play the long game.He glanced down briefly, noticing the slight tension in his pants, and he chuckled. With Seraphine, all it took was a single touch to send a jolt of electricity through him.She didn't need to do much to trigger the biggest reaction from him. As days went by, he felt a gradual increase of possessiveness toward her.While he had been away, Clifford had taken the chance to swoop in. Of course, he wasn't planning on letting him get off easy. A lowlife like him didn't deserve her love in the slightest.Meanwhile, Seraphine's heart was racing. Even back when she was dating Clifford, she had never felt this kind of rush before.Now, just being near

    Elliott was reading an international email with full attention. When he heard Seraphine's voice, he looked up and gazed at her with such tenderness that it would draw one's soul in."Oh, I'm quite happy with the draft. I was on a call at that time and didn't get a chance to reply. I tweaked a few spots, though. After dinner, we can go over it slowly."He did it on purpose, just to have a bit more time to spend with her.Seraphine sighed in relief, her voice sweet as she replied, "Okie! I'll get back to cooking, then. Carry on with your work, Eli."She happily returned to the kitchen.Elliott watched her retreating figure and smiled faintly. The two of them shared a space without any awkwardness, just warmth and simple happiness.About 40 minutes later, Seraphine finished preparing dinner and invited him to the table. He finally tasted the steak he had been longing for. Though elated inside, his expression remained calm.She had known how to cook since she was young. Back then, w

    Seraphine and Valerie were taken by surprise. The former knew Andrew, so she politely asked, "Chief Walker, is there something else?"Andrew was middle-aged, but he carried himself with such integrity and uprightness that he appeared younger than his age. Years of experience had refined his presence into something calm and wise."I'd like to ask for your help in capturing the person who framed Ms. Finch. This man is a foreign contact we've been tracking for some time. Thanks to the evidence you provided, we've uncovered something much bigger…"The ladies were stunned.About ten minutes later, Seraphine walked out of the police station alone. Valerie, however, remained inside.Seraphine felt tense all over, sickened. Someone from Clarissa's circle was actually involved with contraband. She let out a cold laugh.From what she knew of Clarissa and Clifford, there was never any real love between them. They were just people who would dump each other the moment things fell apart.He w

    Without any fuss, Patrick opened the gates for her. After thanking him, Seraphine entered the residential area.In the meantime, Clifford had long lost track and failed to keep up with Clarissa's car. What he didn't expect was that Seraphine would be riding a motorcycle and had been right in front of him the entire time.Seraphine hit the elevator button for the ninth floor. When she walked out, she saw Clarissa knocking on the door. It didn't take long before Mitchell emerged and pulled her into his arms.He bombarded her with kisses, but she dodged all of them."Stop it, Mitchell," Clarissa said warily. "Seraphine's already onto us. Are you sure you haven't left any loose ends behind from yesterday's incident?"Mitchell nibbled on her lip, smiling as he replied, "Relax. Everything's under control. Valerie is not getting out this time. Once we seal her fate, we'll go after Seraphine next."Seraphine's cold gaze fixed squarely on the couple. Just as she suspected, those shameless

    Clarissa wanted to see Mitchell and confirm whether he had tied up all the loose ends. As soon as she stepped out of the building, she ran into Seraphine, who happened to be just outside.She frantically screamed, "Stand right there, Seraphine!"Hearing her voice, Seraphine stopped in her tracks and turned around. Clarissa, furious, was charging toward her, her features looking especially twisted under the morning light.Seraphine's lashes fluttered gently, her gaze clear, deep, and full of life. She smirked with a hint of unruliness. "What's the matter, Mrs. Johansen?"Clarissa came face-to-face with Seraphine, who appeared particularly striking that day. "Where are you going?""Do I owe my privacy to you, Mrs. Johansen?" she asked, observing Clarissa's anxious expression.She had just wanted to look for Clarissa, and there she was.Noticing the calmness in Seraphine's gaze, Clarissa deduced she hadn't found out the truth. "Nothing. Just wondering when you'll be kicked out of t

    Hearing the boiling rage in Clarissa's voice, Clifford simply broke into a sarcastic smile. He then forwarded the video Seraphine had sent to her.Her expression cracked, allowing strain and concern to show, when she looked down at her phone and saw the footage of her and Mitchell.Where did he get the video from? The last thing any man would want to see was their partner cozying up with another dude.Clarissa anxiously explained, "Clifford, what's going on? This is AI-generated. Who sent this to you?"She was genuinely worried that the video would ruin their relationship. The fact that the Greene family had risen from the ashes meant Clifford had proven himself as a reliable cash cow.He stared at her, frowning.Clarissa had turned into someone he didn't know. Five years had allowed for many things to change, yet he had been the one refusing to acknowledge the truth."I know you were with someone else during all the years you were abroad. I'd even thought about dropping everyth
