Chapter 294

Author: Andrea North
Elliott's grip on the steering wheel nearly slipped. He had the sudden urge to pull Seraphine into his arms. At last, she finally reciprocated his feelings.

His handsome face softened, a smile spreading slowly across his lips.

In a low and husky voice, he answered, "I'll take you to the places I've been, let you feel the winds that touched me, and walk you through my world so you can truly know me."

In truth, what he wanted was to retrace the paths they had once shared.

To Seraphine, his words sounded a lot like a confession. Instead of feeling awkward, her heart felt warm and sweet. "Alright. Take me to all those places when you have time."

"Tomorrow it is," he replied swiftly.

"Sounds good to me."

That night, Elliott felt like everything was finally falling into place.

Clarissa's drama didn't make it to the media. Only people in the circle knew, but no one dared to talk about it. It wasn't until the morning headlines were free of her name that Clifford finally felt at ease

    Chester remained as composed as ever."Mr. Johansen, I have already contacted their director. We need to travel immediately. MarcoLite Enterprises' CEO has agreed to meet you and is open to a partnership." He hesitated. "But the scandal with Mysteria Studio—"He believed the trending news needed to be taken down. He also wanted to say that Annalise was truly despicable. He would have respected her if she had defeated Seraphine with skill. Instead, she relied on shameless tricks.Clifford scoffed. "I can secure a new partner. Do you think Seraphine can still threaten me?"Chester gave a small shake of his head but said nothing more. He had already predicted the outcome. He went off to arrange the trip.Clifford stood in the midday sunlight, the glare harsh and unforgiving. Seraphine had pushed him to the edge of fury. Once he returned from this business trip, he would speak to her properly.He pulled out his phone and checked the trending news. Some posts were attacking Seraph

    "Hmph! Ms. Lodge paid for my son's college tuition and found stable jobs for both me and my wife. She saved our entire family. So get out," the security guard snapped.Clifford turned and walked away, furious. Of course Seraphine knew how to win people over.He stormed down the steps and saw that the motorcycle parked by the curb was gone, just as he expected. He had to borrow his bodyguard's phone to call her.At that moment, Seraphine was riding home, her phone vibrating nonstop. She did not need to check the screen to know who it was. She kept her focus on the road, unmoved by the persistent buzzing.She regretted all the things she had once done for Clifford.No one could shelter someone else for a lifetime, and no one could protect another person forever.When one fell, one learned to stand up on their own. Only those who could walk alone through storms become the ones who guided the pieces on the board.She was the one who had controlled every advantage Clifford possessed.

    Clifford looked at Chester, a sudden heaviness settling in his gut. He remained outwardly calm, his voice steady when he said, "Say it. What happened?"Chester hesitated, then spoke quietly, "Brightline Biotech has withdrawn our distribution rights. Today is the final day.""That's impossible." Clifford's voice sharpened as he shot to his feet, betraying the panic beneath his composure."We've worked with them for two years without a single conflict. Why would they cut us off out of nowhere?"He was furious. There had been no disputes nor misunderstandings. Standing at full height, he radiated intimidation, and Chester had no choice but to remind him, "Mr. Johansen, Ms. Lodge was the one who introduced Brightline Biotech to us. What happened today offended her, so…"The moment he heard that, Clifford understood everything. Shock spread across his face.He had completely forgotten. When they first signed with Brightline Biotech, Stephen had been ecstatic and rewarded him with se

    Seraphine showed no trace of anxiety. She returned to the couch, her smile carrying a hint of careless ease."Valerie, don't rush. Let the dust settle. Have the PR department release a single statement—there was no plagiarism, and we will see Johansen Group in court."If Clifford wanted to play, she would play along. Life needed a little thrill.Valerie blinked. "Seraphine, you're going all in?"Once it reached the courts, complications were unavoidable. Still, their legal team was not weak, and Clifford was not guaranteed a win.A bright, almost mischievous curve touched Seraphine's eyes. "Valerie, I was alone before, and revenge could wait. But things are different now. I have someone by my side. I don't want this dragging out."Valerie was stunned to see happiness on her face. That kind of gentle joy was rare."Seraphine, you're so good and so beautiful. You're going to be very happy."Seraphine smiled at her. "Valerie, go handle this with Edward. I rarely ask him for help

    Valerie laughed when she heard Seraphine's remark. She knew Seraphine always had a way through.She was the only person who truly understood everything Seraphine was capable of. Her talent was enough to make anyone in the world look twice. And Clifford was a complete bastard.With Seraphine's computer skills, it would not take long to find out who planted the files."Seraphine, what do we do now? Let them keep dreaming, or drag the mole out and deliver them ourselves?" Valerie asked.They were not afraid of Clifford, but this kind of situation could damage Mysteria Studio's reputation.The Vanguard Fashion Competition was just ahead, and Seraphine's public image was at stake.Clifford was being vicious. If he could not have her, he would rather destroy her. It was as if his life could not function without her.A glint of mischief flickered in Seraphine's eyes. Her smile was light. "Valerie, Clifford brought Annalise back specifically to deal with me. Then, we'll accept the mov

    Clifford choked on his words, unable to speak. Yet, Seraphine's voice remained steady, each sentence striking directly at the softest parts of him.She had never once made trouble for him. It had always been him chasing her and haunting her life."Sera," he said, grief clouding his eyes, "I only want to keep you from going down the wrong path. I owe you, and I will repay you twice over. Please stop degrading yourself. Don't marry another man so casually. I will marry you in the future."His tone gentled, almost pleading. Seraphine noticed the growing number of people walking by. Lunch hour was approaching, and soon the crowd would swell."Clifford, I took 200 million dollars from you. Consider that debt repaid. You don't owe me anything, and I don't want you treating yourself like a chain I'm supposed to be bound to. Live with your guilt if you want, but don't lock it around my neck."She continued, her voice calm but firm, "My mother raised me to be independent and whole. My pr
