Semua Bab Karma Is My Name: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Seraphine suddenly grabbed Clifford's shirt collar. She wasn't as tall as him, so she stood on her tiptoes and yanked hard, pulling him a little closer.Clifford smelled the familiar fragrance from her body, and the memories flooded back, awakening every cell in his body. He recalled the early days of their relationship.After long, exhausting business meetings, he would go to Seraphine's house. If Gary wasn't home, he'd rest his head on her lap. Her familiar scent always helped him drift into a quick, peaceful nap.Back then, she was really good to him. She would give him the gentlest smile and encouragement when he was at his lowest. During their years together, she never let him worry about the little things in life. But he'd always believed that Clarissa would come back to him.Because Seraphine loved him just like he loved Clarissa back in the day. She loved him quietly, gazing up at him from a distance and wishing for more attention from him.As Clifford was lost in the memo

"Clifford, you're despicable! You just go straight for the sore spot, don't you? Clarissa's your problem, so why are you dragging me into saving her? What do I have to do with it?" Seraphine asked.Clifford looked at her tear-filled eyes and froze for a moment. "I… Seraphine, we've known each other for five years…""And just because of that, do you expect me to donate blood to your wife? Why should I? Just because you lied to me and because she sent those messages that drove my mother to her death?""Seraphine, why do you keep bringing this up?"Clifford knew Clarissa was at fault, but what happened was already behind them. A few texts shouldn't be enough to condemn Clarissa completely.Seraphine shouted angrily, "Because I lost my mother!"He was stunned by her words."Clifford, you have so many friends, and any one of them could donate blood, so why drag me into giving blood for your wife? If you had any conscience left, you wouldn't even be asking this."She slammed the car

Clifford looked coldly at Jason and Clarissa, who had actually teamed up to deceive him. "Jason, Clarissa, do you think life is a joke? How dare you play me like this! I heard everything you said outside just now."His gaze toward Clarissa was as if he were looking at a stranger. He was disappointed. How could she have become like this?"Clarissa, for you, I abandoned Seraphine, who had been good to me for five years. I swore to you that I'd be loyal to you, and I never expected you to degrade yourself like this, just to compete with Seraphine. If you don't care about your own health, no one else can do anything."Clarissa and Jason both froze.Jason didn't understand why he was so angry. He spoke up in a sharp tone, "Cliff, Clary is doing this for your own good. She cares about you, and that's why she's jealous, afraid that Seraphine, that seductress, will steal you away."She doesn't want Seraphine to keep pestering you. Or could it be that you still want her to be around? She a

Seraphine smiled mysteriously, looking at Lorraine's curious little face. She reached out and pinched her soft cheek.When Lorraine smiled, she was like a little sun, lighting up the room. She was bright and cheerful, as if she didn't have a care in the world, just like a warm sun."Lorraine, I don't even have to lift a finger. Greene Group is facing a funding crisis. Provoked by my words today, Jason's definitely going to cry, cause a scene, and beg his dad to invest in Greene Group. Besides, I've found out that the project her family is working on is problematic."Clarissa's dad is in a rush for quick results. He used Clifford's reputation to back his company and secure the project. But he doesn't have the ability to handle it, so the funding fell through. We should let things play out a little. I'm not in a rush for revenge."Lorraine understood and sneered. "That worthless Clifford is not worth a dime. He thought he could hold his ground, but it turns out Clary could drag him s

Elliott watched Seraphine eyeing his abs with a faint smile playing in his deep, mesmerizing eyes.Ralph was right. When it came to chasing women, a little strategy went a long way. Indeed, no matter what one did, that little strategy was needed to control the situation.Just look, Seraphine across from him was practically drooling as she stared at him. She instinctively licked her lips.The way she looked was absolutely captivating.Elliot's voice was low and sensual when he replied, "Sera, I forgot to mention that I'm moving in today. But I'm all alone, and I don't really know how to organize things. What am I going to do with all this stuff?"He purposely put on a troubled expression.Ralph had told him that the first thing he had to do was to get Seraphine into the house and do chores together to build a bond.Second, he had to unbutton the shirt, intentionally wet it, and show off his defined abs, perfect for creating some ambiguous tension.Elliot might have looked proper
