Chapter 226

Penulis: Andrea North
Clifford was caught off guard. This was the first time he had heard about it.

"Dad, what's going on? Why didn't I know about this?" he asked Stephen. "Didn't he say he'd only invest in us if the launch were successful? I thought he dropped it after the fiasco. Has he mentioned his interest beyond that?"

He knew Stephen was out of the loop regarding Diego. To avoid being the target of Stephen's lashing, he confessed, "Also, I only found out today that our product wasn't the issue. It was Dr. Savage's malpractice that killed Ms. Miller."

He added, "Mr. Miller was trying to use this against me, and I was only at his place earlier because of this matter."

"What?" Stephen barked, not holding back his reprimand. "You're such an idiot! You only found out it was the surgeon's mistake now? Where has your head been this whole time? All you ever do is get caught up in your love life and ignore what actually matters—your career!

"Where was the old you that was enthusiastic about work? How did

    Elliott abruptly lifted his gaze, fixing Ralph with a chilling glare.Ralph trembled from head to toe under Elliott's gaze, his voice quivering with fear as he quickly stammered out, "I-I'm truly and utterly loyal to you, Mr. Johansen! You can count on my absolute allegiance!"Elliott didn't harbor any suspicion toward Ralph. He had been by his side for so many years, so he trusted Ralph implicitly. He stated calmly, "I'm not questioning your loyalty. You've already brought up the possibility of a traitor, so I'd like you to look into it—investigate every one of my personal security details. If the trail leads directly back to Dirkane, then we'll know for certain that this is a deliberate plot against Sera."Ralph breathed a sigh of relief before quipping, "If you ever doubt my loyalty, I swear I'll go home and bawl my eyes out tonight, Mr. Johansen!"Elliott cast a frigid glare his way. "You're so pathetic!"Ralph exclaimed with a grin, "I don't mind being pathetic—as the fact

    Elliott's voice was low and alluring when he replied, "Congratulations, Sera! You'll definitely find someone better after leaving that scumbag! You should take this gift as a celebration for that!"Seraphine accepted the jewelry box with a smile. She then opened it and was immediately surprised by the sight of a lovely lilac-hued crystal bracelet that complemented her complexion perfectly. She was completely charmed by the bracelet. She looked up at Elliott, her eyes gleaming with delight as she exclaimed, "It's absolutely beautiful! Thank you, Eli!"Elliott subtly closed the distance between them, enjoying the delicate jasmine scent that clung to Seraphine. "You absolutely deserve, and will find, someone better in your life, Sera."He wanted to say that someone such as himself would be a perfect match for her, but he stopped short of actually saying it.Seraphine sensed his formidable presence. She looked at him, dressed in his black shirt—though he was sitting, his athletic, ta

    Elliott wasn't the kind of person who knew how to console someone. He, however, instinctively knew that crying it out would bring Seraphine relief.Upon hearing his soothing voice, Seraphine gradually stopped crying. She had already come to terms with Andrea's permanent absence, but she couldn't resign herself to the horrible manner of Andrea's death. Andrea's agony in her final moments was a relentless source of pain for Seraphine.She gradually slipped out of Elliott's embrace, then wiped away her tears and murmured an apology with a faint smile, "I'm sorry, Eli. I was simply too upset and couldn't stop myself from crying." Elliott smiled warmly at her as he reached out and lovingly patted her head. "You shouldn't dwell on it anymore and focus on getting some lunch instead, Sera.""Alright, Eli!" Seraphine smiled faintly as she gazed intently at Elliott's striking profile, finding that his companionship never failed to give her a deep sense of security. She saw him as the one

    Upon sensing Elliott's warm breath, Seraphine shifted back slightly. She then happily agreed to Elliott's suggestion, "I really owe you for saving me, Eli, so I'd treat you to lunch today. I happen to know an exclusive fine dining restaurant that serves amazing food."Elliott was never one to refuse when Seraphine took the lead. "That sounds good to me! Come on, let's get going!"Seraphine recalled the exclusive fine dining restaurant she owned and happily informed Elliott, "Let's head to the exclusive fine dining restaurant on Nova Avenue, Eli."Elliott promptly entered the destination into his phone's navigation and drove straight to the restaurant.Seraphine had earned quite a lot from that exclusive fine dining restaurant. She had established the place after she saved a boy whose father happened to be a brilliant chef and whose family happened to be in dire straits.She provided the necessary aid to help the pair through their ordeal—she paid for the son to study abroad, while

    "It's alright. I'll manage, so you guys may leave now," Clifford said, shaking his head slightly. He then slumped onto the sidewalk steps, attempting to alleviate the pain in his body. He despondently hung his head, his gaze hardening and slowly giving way to simmering malice.Upon hearing that, the two bodyguards didn't dare to leave until they were absolutely certain of Clifford's safety.…In the meantime, Elliott, sitting in the car, turned to Seraphine and asked with a smile, "Do you feel any better now, Sera?" He exuded a faint, crisp scent as he moved closer, which was interwoven with the unique scent of jasmine emanating from Seraphine. Their personal scents mingled and created an incredibly pure and crisp blend that was surprisingly captivating.Seraphine's heart skipped a beat, a sensation that hit her like a sudden electrical charge, making her heart jump violently. She never felt that way when she was with Clifford, not even at the peak of her affection for Clifford.

    Stephen gazed at Clifford with profound disappointment. "You've truly dropped the ball on this one, Clifford. You actually discarded Professor Lodge, the sort of genius the government would bend over backward for. "You'll eventually be forced to recognize the gravity of your error, and you'll face the consequences of your actions one day, Clifford."He was furious that Clifford failed to recognize the bigger picture. He believed that an individual of Andrea's caliber, if properly leveraged, would have propelled Johansen Group to unprecedented heights—the very foundations of Johansen Group's current success stemmed directly from Andrea's research and development, after all.Clifford froze, a tremor running through him. He was suddenly awash with regret, as Stephen's entire rationale for bringing him back to the Johansen family was tied to Andrea. He couldn't help but wonder how he actually lost sight of his purpose of returning to the Johansen family. "Dad…"Stephen glanced at hi
