Chapter 198

Author: Andrea North
Clifford suddenly rose to his feet, wincing slightly as his wound was pulled. His expression was grim as he glared at Clarissa, snapping, "Do you see how you're behaving right now, Clarissa? You don't even look like the lady of Johansen Group!

"What makes you any different than some screaming hag on the street, Clarissa?"

Clarissa felt her chest tighten with pain at Clifford's remarks. She couldn't hold back her tears, feeling utterly and profoundly wronged. She was devastated that Clifford would turn on her like this, right after they took their vows.

He had never once demanded that she act like the lady of Johansen Group. He used to hold her tenderly, saying, "You're my wife now, Clary. You're free to do whatever you want from now on. You have me, so you don't need to be afraid of anything at all."

Clarissa couldn't help but exclaim in profound anguish, knowing that those promises had been tossed aside, forgotten by him. "I settled down and decided to build a life with you, yet

    Aria replied, "She's suspected me for a long time, but I'm not afraid of her finding out. I came from hell, Seraphine. There's nothing I fear losing."Her response made Seraphine realize this had always been Aria's choice from the start. She couldn't say much to change her mind.As she rode the elevator to her office, her phone rang with a call from Elliott. Her mood immediately brightened. "Eli!""Hey, Sera. I asked Skyler to bring lunch to you. After work, I'll come pick you up so we can go home together."Seraphine listened to his gentle voice and smiled brightly. "Okay!""Take care of yourself. Your lips were a bit dry when I kissed you this morning. I ordered a lip balm from Q Mart to be delivered to your office later. Remember to use it. I'll video-call you later and check." Seraphine hadn't expected him to be so thoughtful. Thinking about that morning kiss made her face flush and her heart pound instantly."I'll put it on, Eli. I'll make sure my lips are soft and moistur

    Seraphine found Clifford so ridiculous that it became comical at that point. The way he sounded condescending was infuriating, to say the least.And he said he was doing all that just to scare her? The words "Seraphine" and "scared" had never belonged together.She laughed and patted Skyler's shoulder. "Don't listen to his nonsense. Your job's fine. You don't need to change anything."Skyler scratched his head, feeling completely bewildered. Why was she telling her that his job was fine when Clifford was clearly talking about her actual husband? Why was she doing this?Clifford burst into laughter at Seraphine's words. When he laughed, there was a flicker of gentle humor in his eyes, tinged with melancholy. Somehow, he still looked impossibly handsome."Your husband's obviously a freeloader. He doesn't even have a job. Does he just follow you around all day?"Clifford thought that if it weren't for Skyler, he could've taken Seraphine today and had her analyze the stock market for

    Seraphine's gaze turned icy. Clifford was doing this right outside the company building.She stared coldly at him. "I'll say this one last time—I didn't kill Chelsea. Mitchell has already been arrested, and Clarissa didn't bail him out. If you see him now, I'm sure you'll hear the answer you've been looking for."He wants to stay alive, and he'll definitely tell you how Chelsea died exactly."Clifford's eyes remained indifferent, and his sharp jawline didn't help make him look any more approachable. Honestly, Seraphine had begun to realize just how menacing he had looked lately."Do you really think I'd believe your nonsense?"She frowned but said nothing more. It was his choice whether to believe him or not.The two bodyguards had already stepped in front of her. As one of them reached out to grab her arm, a sudden rush of air swept past her ear. A dull thud echoed beside her, followed by a man's pained cry.Seraphine watched as the man who had been grabbing her arm was punched

    Clifford's smile only grew more menacing as he noticed Seraphine's increasing fear. "So, you are afraid of me. If you are, why scheme against me? You know better than anyone how I got to where I am today."Do you really have the heart to destroy me, someone you've helped build?"Seraphine thought for a moment. Letting Clifford mistake her as the mastermind wasn't a bad idea. If he believed it was her, he might not target Lorraine at all.She shook her head and smiled faintly. "I'm not afraid. Fear doesn't solve anything. And besides, why would I be afraid of you? It's precisely because I know how I helped build you that I also know exactly how to destroy you."To her, Clifford was nothing more than a chapter in her life. There was nothing to fear.He didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at her with a smirk. "So, you're not. Why are you stepping back, then?"She hesitated on purpose. "Do you really want to hear the truth?"His cold smile deepened. His bone structure was so striki

    The sudden shout snapped Seraphine out of her thoughts. She looked up to see Clifford standing across from her, anger twisting his handsome features.She began contemplating relocating her company because running into Clifford every day was sheer misfortune."What do you want?" she asked flatly."Was last night your doing?" Clifford questioned, his pride still wounded. He couldn't handle being outplayed, as he was used to being the one who schemed, not being schemed against.Before Seraphine could answer, he cut in again, "You knew you couldn't have me, so you had other women try to ruin me?"What the hell?Seraphine rolled her eyes inwardly. He was so full of himself that he constantly inserted himself into everything."Stop it, Clifford. Enough with the self-flattery," she said, exasperated. "I'd never do anything so petty. How would having another woman ruin you benefit me?"Clifford opened his mouth to argue, but she continued before he could, "There is some benefit, I gues

    Ernest had never been petty, let alone bothered to fight over wins or losses. Faced with Jim's provocation, he simply smiled faintly."What makes you so hostile, Professor Horne? And why would I think that way? I actually hope you keep doing better and better. That way, you'll actually contribute something to the country."And just to assure you, I absolutely do not have thoughts like that."Ernest stood up, gave Jim a meaningful look, and patted his shoulder firmly. "If I remember correctly, you're about seven or eight years younger than me, right, Jimmy? Alas, you still have no children but a bunch of lovers…"He clicked his tongue. "What a messy lifestyle. Of course, private life aside, don't scatter away your good fortune. Otherwise, when you're old, you'll end up completely alone—no wife and no children…"It'll be like coming into his world for nothing, leaving behind not even a trace. That would be such a pity. Don't you think so?"With that, Ernest turned and walked away.
