Chapter 212

Author: Andrea North
With her door still being pounded on, Seraphine slipped on her shoes, threw on a jacket, and walked over to open it.

An iron rod always sat in her doorway, just in case. She grabbed it instinctively before unlocking the door.

As soon as she saw who was outside, she nearly rolled her eyes into the back of her head. What was Clarissa doing here this early in the morning?

Clarissa's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Seraphine. "Is Clifford here? Tell him to get his ass out here!"

She looked nothing less than an abandoned housewife, all bitterness and rage. Her face was pale, and her whole demeanor had been stripped of its usual delicate image.

Seraphine stared at her, deadpan. Was she sick in the head? What kind of trash did she think Seraphine was, letting someone like Clifford stay the night at her place after everything that happened?

Even when Andrea was alive, she would never have allowed something like that to happen. It was her rule that they would not have any sleepovers

    Clarissa had no choice but to turn her attention to the foolish instigator, Megan. Things would inevitably get out of control if this were blown out of proportion.Stephen was in attendance at the business summit tonight. If he caught wind of this, she would suffer yet another lashing from him.She could tell Clifford was doing everything he could to suppress this matter, but Megan was obviously sticking her nose in this to leave an impression on him. She wanted to covet his favor, and Clarissa read her like a book.With a polite smile, Clarissa said, "Thank you for standing up for me, miss, but as you can see, I'm fine now. The last thing I want is to ruin anyone's night when you guys are supposed to be having fun."You should change into something dry. Save yourself the cold.""Oh, my gosh. Her voice is so soothing. She's such a sweetheart!""They're really a match made in heaven—unlike that bitch, Seraphine, who doesn't know her place.""Only a shameless loser will act like h

    Seraphine glanced at the furious Mitchell, then decisively snatched her phone back from Clifford's grip. Then, she pulled a wet wipe from her bag and carefully cleaned the screen and the spots he had touched.Clifford watched her movements, feeling insulted. She was treating him like he was dirty. The sight of her wiping every spot he had handled only made his anger burn.The crowd exchanged shocked looks, while Clarissa was similarly taken aback. Was Seraphine acting disgusted with him?Seraphine didn't give him a chance to speak. Holding the phone up toward Mitchell, she said, "Let's take it to the cops and let them decide if I was slandering you."Mitchell knew there was evidence on her phone. If they could destroy the device, all evidence against him and Clarissa would disappear. Without proof, they could get away with everything.By then, Clifford's patience finally snapped. He raised his voice, roaring at her, "Enough! Stop trying to change the subject! Those men already adm

    When Clifford saw Mitchell and the calm, defiant Seraphine, he instantly knew she had been set up. Clarissa and Mitchell were in it together.Still, he couldn't afford to let this blow up. The stakes were too high for Stephen, and tonight was far too important for any slipups.His face went dark as he stared at Seraphine, who stayed composed. "If anyone's calling the cops, it'll be me. You hired hitmen to kill my wife!"Clifford ground his teeth, eyes full of resentment. He wanted nothing more than to strangle Seraphine. Why did she have the right to be up on the second floor while he didn't?Seraphine frowned and snapped back, "Then, why did you take my phone? I'm calling the cops to clear my name. Those two men accused me of hiring them, so I must have them investigated."The two men faltered under her calm, unruffled gaze. Her eyes were cold, showing no hint of panic. Guilt flickered across their faces, and they could barely meet her eyes.Clarissa knew there was no way out no

    Seraphine watched their little act in silence, her expression calm and unamused.After Clifford spoke, she casually looked his way. "Sure, Mr. Johansen. I'd love for the police to investigate who actually hired these killers. The law doesn't work on your word alone."Out of the blue, a woman splashed a glass of wine all over Seraphine. The woman glared at her and shouted, "You're truly vile! How could you try to murder someone in front of everyone? Do you have no respect for the law?"Seraphine was in shock, frowning as wine dripped down her face. She recognized the woman—it was one of the young socialites who had gossiped earlier. It was obvious she was trying to impress Clarissa and Clifford.Before Seraphine could even react, a bucket of ice-cold water came crashing down on the woman who had just attacked. The water hit with a sharp crack, prompting the crowd to stumble back in shock.The woman, Megan Cole, screamed, soaked and shivering from head to toe. Furious, she glared at

    Clifford looked at Clarissa's frail, trembling form, but the light in his eyes turned razor-sharp. "I thought you were having dinner. How did you end up falling?"He pointed to the warning sign nearby. "It literally says, 'Do Not Approach Cliff Edge.' What were you doing there?"Her tears streamed down even faster at his icy words. What was she doing there? She had wanted to watch Seraphine get pushed off the cliff, duh!And who would've thought that Mitchell would dive headfirst to save her? She had to come up with an excuse to explain his attendance, but before that, it was time to put on a show.Clarissa forced her voice into a pitiful tone. "Honey, I… I didn't know. I heard they said the view from the cliff was magnificent, so I wanted to take a look. Before I even got close, someone shoved me."Clifford's gaze flicked from her to Mitchell, his fury barely contained. He lowered his voice and said, "This isn't just any place. If you're saying someone's shoved you, you've got to

    "Understood, Mr. Johansen," Chester replied. "The host has already sent help over. I'll head down there myself and make sure she's okay."After hanging up, he turned and caught sight of Seraphine. She looked stunning tonight—tall, elegant, and breathtaking under the soft glow of the lights. For a moment, he was in a daze."You're here as well, Ms. Lodge."Chester was surprised by her attendance. Given her current status, it seemed impossible she would be invited to such an exclusive event.She responded with a calm nod. "Yeah."Chester didn't press further and quickly hurried off to help with the rescue. He had already looked into Mitchell before, and seeing him leap into the lake to save Clarissa only made things more complicated.Clifford already hated Mitchell. Now that the latter had shown up here of all places, things were bound to get messy.Seraphine watched as Chester hurried off. She stood among the crowd, finding it hard to see what was happening down in the deep lake
