Chapter 476

Penulis: Andrea North
Elliott and Seraphine had just returned home. She settled onto the couch while he went to brew a pot of chamomile tea.

She had barely slipped off her shoes when her phone lit up. She picked it up and saw a message from Aria.

Seraphine frowned slightly. Annalise was Clarissa's friend, which meant Annalise had to be the chief designer of Johansen Group.

"Thank you, Aria. I got it," Seraphine replied.

She opened her chat with Cameron and sent a message.

"Mr. Johansen, how is your drug progressing?"

"Sera, we are already working through the approval procedures. But from what I have learned, the drug Clifford is secretly producing is also going through the approval process. Are you certain Professor Horne is incompetent?" Cameron asked.

"Yes. Professor Horne has an inflated reputation. Months have passed, and they still have not mastered the core technique. His reputation comes from academic fraud, plagiarizing my mother's paper, and buying influence.

"Just wait. You changed the f

    Elliott deleted Clifford's messages without a second thought. Trash like that had no business disturbing his honeymoon with Seraphine.He raised the phone again and sent a message to Ralph."Hand the evidence from Professor Horne's illegal research project to the police."The abduction in the underground garage was his doing. Make sure he goes in and never comes back out."And his academic fraud—send all documentation to the authorities."Ralph replied quickly, "Sir, how about waiting a little longer? It's still early. Their lab's new product is almost ready for launch. If we expose him in front of the entire city, watching him crumble publicly would feel much more satisfying."Elliott answered, "Handle it as you see fit. Also, give Clifford something to keep him busy."Ralph added, "Yes, sir. Congratulations on your marriage, by the way. How's the honeymoon?"Ralph was genuinely curious. Ever since Elliott finally got a taste of romance, he walked into the office every day wit

    Seraphine and Elliott had already returned to the villa. She went to shower and didn't see the message Clifford had just sent, for her phone was in Elliott's hand instead of hers.Elliott watched her disappear into the bathroom. The moment her screen lit up, he glanced down and tapped it open. A new message had come in.No contact name and just a number. It was obviously from Clifford.Elliott leaned back on the couch, his tall frame relaxing as a cold curl lifted one side of his mouth.Clifford really had the audacity.Elliott almost wanted to slap him through the phone.Seraphine married any man she found just to spite him?Elliott narrowed his eyes. How should he answer that?Right—he began typing, only to pause. Why didn't Seraphine's keyboard look like his?He tried typing again. Nothing came out right.Elliott opened the setting and realized Seraphine had been using a custom keyboard layout. He had no idea how to type on that thing.He switched to another keyboard app,

    Annalise carried herself with effortless confidence, though the request clearly displeased her. She was an internationally known designer, someone whose reputation did not belong on the same scale as a minor figure like L.Her mouth curled in a poised, elegant smile, her tone loose and almost lazy. "Mr. Johansen, you really underestimate me. A little designer like L isn't qualified to be compared to me. Give me one month. I'll put together a marketing plan that forces her company to fold and withdraw from the market."She thrived on challenges. Only difficult battlegrounds were worthy of her.Clifford's approach, however, felt beneath her. There was no need to waste a powerhouse like her on something so trivial.Still, top-tier conglomerates valued results, not pride. Ability was the only argument that convinced shareholders.Clifford was pleased with her answer. He lifted his glass with a faint smile. "Good. I'll wait for your good news, Ms. Lowe. For the future of this company,

    Seeing Clifford's name again instantly soured Seraphine's mood. He was everywhere in her life, like a shadow she could never shake, and the more omnipresent he felt, the more she despised him.She had planned to leave Jeriton altogether, maybe even relocate to Dirkane. Aside from Lorraine, she had few genuine friends in this city.Clifford, however, had roots too deep and an ego too large to ever leave.She knew one thing with absolute clarity. The moment she returned to the lab, Clifford would learn the truth. He would realize she possessed Andrea's core research, and once that happened, he would move against her without hesitation.Working in that lab meant exposing herself to him again, and that was something she could not afford.She replied to Lorraine, "Lorraine, he's not heartbroken. He's just unwilling to lose control. He's filthy and petty. Next time you see him, don't bother greeting him."Her thoughts drifted to Lorraine's accident. Clifford had orchestrated that crash

    Stephen let out a derisive snort. "Ever since he made it clear he wouldn't lift a finger for me, I rarely bother asking him for anything. Why? Do you need him for something?"Clifford frowned. So Elliott wasn't in Jeriton?Tracking Elliott's movements had always been impossible."Nothing. I just ran into one of his friends and thought maybe you were together.""Alex?" Stephen immediately understood. Elliott barely had friends to begin with. Word had already reached him that Alex was in Jeriton.Elliott had grown up abroad, alone and untethered. His temperament had turned cold and solitary, sharp enough that even at Stephen's age, standing next to him felt like racing a pressure system that swallowed the air from the room."Probably," Clifford answered.Stephen gave a low warning, "Don't let Alex's smile fool you. He looks warm and approachable, but underneath that charm is a razor-sharp mind. He can set a trap for someone while laughing over small talk. If you ever run into him,

    Alex took in Lorraine's outfit and her elegantly well-kept appearance. One glance was enough to tell she came from a good family.More importantly, she was so stunning it was like God himself crafted every line and every feature, balanced and refined.Her skin was pale and smooth, almost luminous in the afternoon sun, as if touched by a soft halo of light.People often said Jeriton had its fair share of beautiful women. He had thought it was an exaggeration, but in the few days he'd been here, he had run into more than a few beauties.And the one standing before him was easily the most striking of them all.The longer Alex looked, the more he liked what he saw, and his smile grew almost intoxicating."I can," he said lightly. "But whether I join you for dinner depends on my mood. Unless…"He trailed off deliberately, slipping into the leisurely arrogance of a spoiled young heir.Lorraine's eyes curved with amusement. She had already pegged him as a flirtatious playboy. She forc
