Chapter 141

Clarissa caught that mysterious smile on Seraphine's face, and for the first time, unease crept into her chest. For years, she had done whatever it took to make a profit, crossing every line without a shred of moral restraint. But she'd been forced into it.She wanted the glamorous life everyone dreamed of, but to get there, she had to use every trick in her arsenal."Seraphine, what's that supposed to mean?" She couldn't help asking.Seraphine stood bathed in the morning light, her smile radiant and graceful, exuding a captivating glow. "Why don't you take a guess, Clarissa?"With that, she walked straight into the building, not sparing Clifford a single glance.Clifford's eyes went unfocused as he stared at her calm, composed figure.Valerie had just been arrested. Where did Seraphine get that kind of confidence? How could she still smile like that?"Clifford, are you done staring yet?" Clarissa snapped, furious at the way his eyes lingered on Seraphine every time she walked a

Chapter 142

Seraphine's brow arched slightly as she looked at Sandy, the errand-runner in the company who was always nosy and gossiping. Once she found out Chelsea's identity, she latched onto her like a little sidekick. Instead of doing her job, she was always dreaming of some shortcut to success.Everyone else in the office stared at Sandy in shock. How could she dare say something like that to Seraphine?Seraphine's eyes turned icy as she said calmly, "Sandy, this is my company. It's my choice to fire whoever I want. If you don't want to work here, you can get out right now. You sure think a lot of yourself to ask me to get out of my own company.""What?" Sandy froze. All she knew was that Seraphine was a senior designer here. How could she possibly be the CEO?Jealousy burned in her chest. Seraphine wasn't just beautiful, but she was also talented, and now, news was spreading that she was the founder of Mysteria Studio. Sandy couldn't believe it.Seraphine had to be saying things out of h

Chapter 143

Seraphine was busy. When a call came in, she put it on speaker. "Hello?"Clifford's infuriating voice came through, "Seraphine, it's me. Public opinion is spiraling out of control. Have you given any thought to the terms I proposed?"Be my woman, and you'll live as easily as you used to. You won't have to deal with any of this."Seraphine's fingers paused over the keyboard. Once again, Clifford didn't fail to surprise her with his way of thinking. But she was long used to his shamelessness."Clifford, can you just disappear from my life completely? And stop calling me."On the other end, Clifford froze for a beat. At a time like this, she was still putting on a brave front. "Seraphine, I'll buy out Mysteria Studio…"Seraphine actually laughed, cutting him off by saying, "Clifford, I know you've got a whole lot of family fortune, but if you think you can buy Mysteria Studio, you're way out of your league. I'll say it again. Get the hell away from me."She quickly ended the call a

Chapter 144

Seraphine was carefully combing through the footage of the underground garage.Liam rushed in in a panic and shouted, "Seraphine, it's bad. Someone hired trolls to smear our company, blowing up the whole incident. The customers didn't return the products, but they're questioning Valerie's character."Besides, Mysteria Studio's fans are calling to criticize Valerie. They love Mysteria Studio's clothes and don't want the brand wiped out because of her. They're urging us to handle this quickly."Hearing that, Seraphine actually felt happy and touched. She wasn't about to let the customers who believed in Mysteria Studio down.Mysteria Studio did have loyal fans.She said calmly, "Liam, relax. Let those trolls strut around a little longer and have their fun. I'll get evidence to clear Valerie's name first before we deal with the trolls. With such a huge wave of them, we can actually use it to boost our company's exposure."A faint smile crossed Liam's handsome face. "Seraphine, seein

Chapter 145

The call was indeed from Seraphine. Hearing Clifford's words, Seraphine knew he'd been waiting for her to call. She thought he was way too full of himself. She could practically picture him puffing up like a rooster."Clifford, you're overconfident. I only called to tell you that if you dare to hire trolls to smear Mysteria Studio, I'll spread those messages Clarissa sent me out on the Internet."Even through the phone, her icy voice carried its sharp edge.Clifford froze for a second, realizing that she wasn't calling to beg him. "Seraphine, as long as you beg me, I can smooth this whole thing over for you."The confident smile on his face slowly hardened, the sting of disappointment hitting him."Clifford, you're dreaming. I won't beg you. What I will do is put you back in your place. Have your PR team pull all those stories in ten minutes. If they're not gone by then, I'll release the video of Clarissa and Mitchell in bed together."I've got more than a few clips, and trust me

Chapter 146

Hearing the boiling rage in Clarissa's voice, Clifford simply broke into a sarcastic smile. He then forwarded the video Seraphine had sent to her.Her expression cracked, allowing strain and concern to show, when she looked down at her phone and saw the footage of her and Mitchell.Where did he get the video from? The last thing any man would want to see was their partner cozying up with another dude.Clarissa anxiously explained, "Clifford, what's going on? This is AI-generated. Who sent this to you?"She was genuinely worried that the video would ruin their relationship. The fact that the Greene family had risen from the ashes meant Clifford had proven himself as a reliable cash cow.He stared at her, frowning.Clarissa had turned into someone he didn't know. Five years had allowed for many things to change, yet he had been the one refusing to acknowledge the truth."I know you were with someone else during all the years you were abroad. I'd even thought about dropping everyth

Chapter 147

Clarissa wanted to see Mitchell and confirm whether he had tied up all the loose ends. As soon as she stepped out of the building, she ran into Seraphine, who happened to be just outside.She frantically screamed, "Stand right there, Seraphine!"Hearing her voice, Seraphine stopped in her tracks and turned around. Clarissa, furious, was charging toward her, her features looking especially twisted under the morning light.Seraphine's lashes fluttered gently, her gaze clear, deep, and full of life. She smirked with a hint of unruliness. "What's the matter, Mrs. Johansen?"Clarissa came face-to-face with Seraphine, who appeared particularly striking that day. "Where are you going?""Do I owe my privacy to you, Mrs. Johansen?" she asked, observing Clarissa's anxious expression.She had just wanted to look for Clarissa, and there she was.Noticing the calmness in Seraphine's gaze, Clarissa deduced she hadn't found out the truth. "Nothing. Just wondering when you'll be kicked out of t

Chapter 148

Without any fuss, Patrick opened the gates for her. After thanking him, Seraphine entered the residential area.In the meantime, Clifford had long lost track and failed to keep up with Clarissa's car. What he didn't expect was that Seraphine would be riding a motorcycle and had been right in front of him the entire time.Seraphine hit the elevator button for the ninth floor. When she walked out, she saw Clarissa knocking on the door. It didn't take long before Mitchell emerged and pulled her into his arms.He bombarded her with kisses, but she dodged all of them."Stop it, Mitchell," Clarissa said warily. "Seraphine's already onto us. Are you sure you haven't left any loose ends behind from yesterday's incident?"Mitchell nibbled on her lip, smiling as he replied, "Relax. Everything's under control. Valerie is not getting out this time. Once we seal her fate, we'll go after Seraphine next."Seraphine's cold gaze fixed squarely on the couple. Just as she suspected, those shameless

Chapter 149

Seraphine and Valerie were taken by surprise. The former knew Andrew, so she politely asked, "Chief Walker, is there something else?"Andrew was middle-aged, but he carried himself with such integrity and uprightness that he appeared younger than his age. Years of experience had refined his presence into something calm and wise."I'd like to ask for your help in capturing the person who framed Ms. Finch. This man is a foreign contact we've been tracking for some time. Thanks to the evidence you provided, we've uncovered something much bigger…"The ladies were stunned.About ten minutes later, Seraphine walked out of the police station alone. Valerie, however, remained inside.Seraphine felt tense all over, sickened. Someone from Clarissa's circle was actually involved with contraband. She let out a cold laugh.From what she knew of Clarissa and Clifford, there was never any real love between them. They were just people who would dump each other the moment things fell apart.He w

Chapter 150

Elliott was reading an international email with full attention. When he heard Seraphine's voice, he looked up and gazed at her with such tenderness that it would draw one's soul in."Oh, I'm quite happy with the draft. I was on a call at that time and didn't get a chance to reply. I tweaked a few spots, though. After dinner, we can go over it slowly."He did it on purpose, just to have a bit more time to spend with her.Seraphine sighed in relief, her voice sweet as she replied, "Okie! I'll get back to cooking, then. Carry on with your work, Eli."She happily returned to the kitchen.Elliott watched her retreating figure and smiled faintly. The two of them shared a space without any awkwardness, just warmth and simple happiness.About 40 minutes later, Seraphine finished preparing dinner and invited him to the table. He finally tasted the steak he had been longing for. Though elated inside, his expression remained calm.She had known how to cook since she was young. Back then, w
