Chapter 8

Author: Andrea North
Seraphine looked at Elaine's twisted, grotesque face. She asked, "Why should I return my mother's investment, Mrs. Johansen? If you insist on making me give the money back, I'll make an appearance during the product launch and tell everyone how your precious son tricked me and my mother."

Clifford hadn't just cheated on her—he'd even tricked her, too! He was nothing but a shameless liar!

Elaine knew she had to live with this for now, if only for the product launch's success. Still, she couldn't stop herself from slapping Seraphine. "Just wait, you pathetic thing!"

Seraphine returned the slap without hesitation, shocking everyone.

Elaine was in disbelief. How dare Seraphine hit her back!

She screeched, "How dare you hit me!"

"I only endured your nonsense in the past because of Clifford. Now that I no longer want him, why should I continue putting up with you?" she asked coldly.

Clifford frowned at her. Seraphine had been obedient and sensible for as long as he'd known her. "You

    Hearing that Stephen would join them only fuelled Chelsea's anxiety. She had no choice but to return to her seat.One word from Stephen, and she could be cast out of the family. She was destined to be a miserable, obedient daughter in this lifetime.After seeing the world of the elite up close, she knew she could never go back to being ordinary. Even if she had to break herself in the process, she would find a way into high society and secure a future free of struggle.She turned to Clifford, hoping the brother who cared so much about her wouldn't throw her into the fire for the sake of profit. Alas, he said nothing.Clifford sat quietly, irritation simmering beneath his composed surface. He lit a cigarette, took a hard drag, and exhaled a thick stream of smoke through his nose.There was something dangerously magnetic about him at that moment.His deep, hoarse laugh rumbled from his chest. He looked at Micah and said, "My apologies for earlier, Mr. Sadowsky. Let's carry on with

    Micah stayed silent. His face said it all.Clarissa was on pins and needles. If the project didn't get approved soon, they would lose an astronomical amount of money later. The Greenes couldn't afford to wait, and neither could the Lynches.The Johansens had a powerful empire, so their company wouldn't be too affected. However, the same couldn't be said for her family. For the Greenes, this was their chance to turn things around.The project was controlled by Micah, who was in charge of their industry's field. Everyone who met him treated him like royalty, careful not to offend him.Then, there was Clifford, who didn't hesitate to show him an attitude."Honey," Clarissa whispered, "we must get the project approved tonight, no matter what."He shot her a dark glare, sending a chill down her spine.Silenced by his piercing look, she could only grumble quietly to herself. Chelsea had no standing within the Johansen family, so what was he so worried about?Clifford closed his eyes

    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

    In the meantime, Seraphine had wrapped up her work for the day. She planned to watch some TV and munch on some snacks while she waited for Elliott to return with dinner.When she saw Aria's incoming call, she felt an unspoken reluctance to answer it. Still, not wanting to miss out on any updates, she picked it up anyway."Hello, Aria.""He's such a jerk, Seraphine!" Aria choked out. "We did it for another two hours before he left."Seraphine was speechless. She honestly didn't want to hear about this, especially not when Aria voluntarily sacrificed herself.After a momentary pause, she piped up, "You know, Aria, I… really don't want to know how long you guys were in bed together. Can you call me next time only when you have something important to update?"Was Aria doing this on purpose or not? Why did she keep calling Seraphine up about this?For a moment, Seraphine could imagine her losing both her body and heart to Clifford before even getting her revenge.Aria cried out, "I

    In Micah's office, Clarissa sat comfortably, dressed in a pink tweed suit. She smiled as she looked at him. "Has my husband agreed?"Micah was broad-faced and heavyset, with a wide forehead, thick eyebrows, and full lips. Despite his looks, he controlled half of Jeriton's economy. Due to his appearance, barely any women wanted to be with him.The one woman who finally agreed ended up being fended off by his own behavior. Not many knew, but she was well aware of his many quirks—things most women couldn't stand.Micah laughed, his eyes narrowing into slits. "Love your idea in arranging this meeting, Mrs. Johansen. I gotta be honest with you—I really like Ms. Johansen."Clarissa smiled brightly, almost like she was satisfied. At last, Chelsea had an opportunity to prove her worth.…About two hours later, Clifford put on his clothes, invigorated. He gazed at the exhausted Aria in bed, who shot him a look of complaint.He smiled tenderly, sat on the edge of the bed, and passed her a

    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
