Chapter 315

Author: Andrea North
Clifford was also looking toward the entrance, wondering who the assailant was. He then looked down at his injured, bleeding hand, his eyes hardening with bitter hostility.

Keith and Jason were thoroughly shocked, anxiously observing Clifford's wound. They quickly scanned the vicinity, yet no suspicious person was in sight.

There were only the receptionists at the front desk and the guards standing at the entrance present in the lobby, who stared at the confrontation in disbelief, remaining frozen in their positions.

Seraphine took quite some time to steady her breathing. She then looked up and met Clifford's furious eyes, which were as black as night yet somehow conveyed a rigid, frozen hostility.

Clifford firmly grasped his injured hand and fixed a wrathful stare on Seraphine, his bloodshot eyes further contributing to his deeply sullen demeanor. He seized her wrist with his uninjured hand, hauled her close, and hissed, "I told you to answer me! Who is the person secretly guardi

    Ernest said calmly, "Yes. The authorities are collecting evidence in the lab as well."Clifford collapsed back into his seat, his handsome face drained of all color.Jim tried to argue again, but the police walked in and presented an arrest warrant."Jim, we have received reports that you conducted illegal human experiments. The evidence is conclusive. Please cooperate with the investigation."The officer's voice was firm and unyielding.Jim sank to the floor in terror. The police had come for him in person. His life was over.He suddenly looked up at Clifford. Clifford had known about this. He had tacitly approved it. But there was no proof that Clifford had known.Jim shouted desperately, "Mr. Johansen, help me! Please. I did all of this for your company. Save me, Mr. Johansen."Clifford sat in silence, not sparing Jim even a glance.He had planned carefully for how to guard against Seraphine, but he had never considered how to deal with Ernest.Ernest was someone he had on

    Clifford's eyes burned with rage. It was all ruined, completely ruined.Two product launches, both destroyed.Jim's so-called research had been stolen from someone else.On the giant screen, footage played of Jim sneaking into Ernest's laboratory. He nudged Ernest, then sneered, "Ernest, I knew the drug I gave you would knock you out for a good long while. Your research results are mine now. I'll enjoy your wealth and glory for you. "When the money comes in, I'll even give you a call and tell you the truth."Jim walked over to the computer with a satisfied smile, logged in, and copied all of Ernest's experimental data.As he left, he could not resist kicking Ernest once, his tone dripping with mockery. "Ernest, someone as honest and inflexible as you belongs in the gutter. You're only fit to be my stepping stone. Your research is extremely valuable. Hundreds of millions of dollars! I'll make very good use of it for you."With that, Jim walked away.The footage shifted again.

    Jim raised his voice. "Kara, go rest properly. Once the product launch is over, I'll come get you and arrange for you to go abroad for treatment."Don't be afraid, Kara. As soon as I'm done here, I'll come be with you."Kara froze.In that instant, she regretted her impulsive outburst.Jim had waited many years for this opportunity. If the product launch succeeded, he would rise to fame in one stroke and become the respected Professor Horne everyone admired. He would not allow anyone to become an obstacle in his path.Yet she did not want him to succeed. A man like him did not deserve to be a professor.But she had come alone today, without bodyguards. On her own, she stood no chance against the entire Johansen Group and could only be taken away by Clifford's guards."Jim—"Before Kara could finish speaking, a guard clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her out."No—"No one paid her any attention. Some even believed she truly was mentally ill and had deliberately caused

    Jim had just reached the most critical part of his presentation when Kara's sharp insults rang out across the hall. He froze, staring at Kara in disbelief, his eyes burning with anger.What was she doing?Could she not see that he was standing at the decisive moment of his career?The sudden disruption plunged the entire venue into stunned silence.Then, a reporter's question cut through the hush."Ms. Ellington, what do you mean by that? Why did you suddenly say Professor Horne is unfit to be a professor?"As the question landed, every gaze turned toward Kara.Clifford rose to his feet and tried to smooth things over. "Everyone, Ms. Ellington is just joking with you all—"Kara cut him off coldly, "Clifford, who's joking with you?"He lowered his voice. "Kara, do you really want to cause trouble at such an important moment?"He had been guarding against Seraphine from start to finish, never imagining that the one who would blow everything apart would be Jim's own woman.Kara

    Kara was present at the event that day, seated right beside Clifford.The product launch venue was spacious and brightly lit. Its minimalist, modern design centered on clean white tones, accented with steady silver-gray lines, creating an atmosphere that felt professional, rigorous, and distinctly futuristic. Today's new product launch was broadcast live in its entirety.Clifford's launches were always high profile. He wanted the spotlight and wanted the world to know about his company's latest innovation.Kara watched Jim on stage. He was witty and eloquent, his speech polished and confident, and her eyes shone with admiration.A red carpet stretched across the elevated stage.A massive circular screen behind him looped a striking video showcasing the history of heart disease research. Animated heart images, complex medical data, and focused researchers appeared in seamless rotation.The event had not officially begun, yet the hall was already packed. Industry leaders, medical e

    Clifford was not particularly pleased by Jim's confidence. He never fully trusted Jim's way of doing things, but all the inspections had passed. All he wanted now was for nothing to go wrong again.After all, no matter how capable Seraphine was, she was still overestimating herself in front of him.Yet, her talent unsettled him. He could not forget the stock market incident. How had she been so certain the shares would rise and that they had to be sold within three days?Late at night, when everything was quiet, Clifford often found himself wondering what kind of person Seraphine truly was.One thing he knew for sure was that her ability to learn was terrifyingly strong.Clifford narrowed his eyes, stubbed out his cigarette, and spoke slowly, "I'm still uneasy about Seraphine. If she shows up on the day of the product launch and sabotages it, preventing the launch, the losses would be enormous."Jim's eyes turned cold. He had been guarding against Seraphine as well, especially af
