Chapter 229

Author: Andrea North
Chelsea and Micah were just happily clinking glasses. Faced with Clifford's question, she froze slightly, then helplessly cried out, "W-What's going on with you tonight? Why are you getting mad at me, Cliff?"

Micah's expression darkened immediately. "What do you think you're doing, Mr. Johansen? You're asking her to leave right when she's keeping me company? I was just thinking about approving the paperwork tonight!"

The threat couldn't be more obvious.

Clifford looked into Micah's murky eyes and instantly knew he had his eyes on Chelsea.

He had originally planned to wait until after tonight's dinner to find some struggling college girl and quietly send her his way, but he didn't expect him to go after Chelsea instead.

Besides, who knew how long this scumbag Micah could keep his seat of power? Once he fell, Chelsea would be left picking up the pieces, a widow in all but name.

There was no way Clifford would let Chelsea end up with someone like Micah.

Clarissa quickly sensed the

    Clifford was stuck to his seat, motionless as he allowed Elaine to lash out at him. A single bead of tear slowly rolled down his cheek.Clarissa, on the other hand, was secretly thrilled. One could catch the hint of delight in her eyes if one paid attention. Thank goodness Chelsea was dead. Now, Seraphine would become the scapegoat for her crime!She squatted and held Elaine's shoulders, softly comforting her, "Don't do this to Cliff, Elaine. He's already tried his best."With a swift motion, Elaine delivered a backhand slap on Clarissa's face. Clarissa stared at Elaine, eyes wide in disbelief. "Elaine, why… Why did you hit me?"She was fuming on the inside, cursing, "Why is this old hag taking it out on me?"A scoff slipped from Elaine. "Don't forget we're the same kind of people, Clarissa. We steal another woman's man, knowing damn well what we do. You think I won't know what you're scheming inside?"She screamed, "Now, get out of my face! You two killed my daughter! You forc

    Seraphine had no idea how Clifford had found the location. She was certain she hadn't messaged Chelsea, nor had she ever set up a meeting at that spot. She would only ever arrange meetings at high-end private rooms or stylish cafes. She was, after all, someone who preferred places with an intimate atmosphere.Clifford's fury intensified with Seraphine's refusal to confess, pushing his sanity to the brink. He bellowed at Seraphine, "It was because Chels sent me a message, saying that she was meeting you here! She had also mentioned that she had something very important to tell me afterward."I was the one who hurt you, Seraphine. Why did you target Chels? You practically watched her grow from a teenager to the young woman she is now! You showered her with kindness, indulged her, and supported her. Why would you maliciously scheme against her now?"Clifford completely broke down.Seraphine fixed him with a frigid glare as she explained, "You just pointed out how much I care about h

    "Please wake up, Chels! It's all my fault! I never should have forced you into that terrible situation for the sake of money! You have to wake up, Chels!" Clifford wept uncontrollably, his tears falling like scalding rain on Chelsea's face. He shouted Chelsea's name until his throat was raw and strained, but she remained utterly silent.Just outside his field of vision, a man suddenly appeared and stealthily retrieved Chelsea's phone from the ground.Clifford felt utterly crushed. He was filled with helplessness and despair as he watched Chelsea, his only sister, close her eyes in his arms."Why are you still holding Chelsea? Get her to the hospital right now, Clifford!" Seraphine yelled, having just arrived at the scene in a cab.Clifford's weeping ceased the moment he heard Seraphine's voice. He immediately fixed his bloodshot eyes on Seraphine with chilling hatred. He was utterly convinced that Seraphine was the one responsible for Chelsea's demise.His face contorted in rage

    Mitchell, hidden in the shadows, nodded slightly before tossing Kevin a bag of money and swiftly leaving the grocery store.Kevin accepted the money with a grin and left the grocery store in high spirits.…In the meantime, Clifford received a message from Chelsea. "I'm on my way to meet up with Seraphine since she invited me, Cliff. I have crucial information to share when I return later. I don't actually hold anything against you, Cliff."He had been looking for Chelsea all over. He immediately grew apprehensive when he received Chelsea's text. He quickly checked the meeting location and jumped into a cab to rush over and find her. He felt a surge of remorse when he realized that Chelsea didn't hold him responsible for what happened to her.…It was early in the evening, with the sun setting below the horizon and painting everything in shades of crimson. It was slightly chilly, as the cool evening breeze blew gently.Chelsea had been waiting at the junction for a long while, y

    Clarissa intentionally shifted the burden of the crisis onto Mitchell. She might have loved him, but she knew he would never be more than a strategic asset. She understood that the resources and security Clifford controlled were entirely unattainable by Mitchell, after all.Mitchell replied with a smile, "Chelsea has become a massive liability, Clary. I'll take care of her, making sure this entire mess falls on Seraphine. I'll personally handle the execution, so you have nothing to worry about, Clary."Clarissa immediately broke into a delighted smile, as this result was exactly what she had hoped for. She mused that Mitchell truly understood her without a word. She knew how obsessed he was with her, recalling that in his passion, he seemed determined to physically possess every part of her.She then softly reminded him, saying, "You have to make sure that the plan that's going to take place at the business summit is handled perfectly, Mitch."Mitchell said with a smile, "You can r

    Upon hearing what Clarissa said, Chelsea couldn't help but let out a bitter, incredulous laugh. She finally realized that Clarissa knew exactly what her weakness was, using that knowledge to turn her into a willing pawn against Seraphine.She condemned herself for being so naive. She had thrown away five years of genuine kindness from Seraphine just for the promise of a few material things. She couldn't help but wonder if she was now paying the immediate price for her actions.She knew that Clarissa was aware of her weakness for expensive handbags, particularly high-end luxury brands. She had just returned to the Johansen family, and Clarissa had already bought her several handbags worth more than 200 thousand dollars each just to win her favor.She momentarily convinced herself that Clarissa cared for her more than Seraphine did since Seraphine had never indulged her that way. She was completely naive then, believing that those expensive handbags were proof of her social standing a
