Semua Bab Karma Is My Name: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Elliott had noticed Clifford as well. Jealousy boiled within him as he realized Seraphine was also looking at him. The speedometer increased.She could sense that he was upset and felt confused. Why would he be riled up all of a sudden?She stole a glance at him and confirmed her suspicions. Indeed, he looked infuriated. She carefully asked, "Eli, is something upsetting you?"His voice came out hoarsely. "Of course. You didn't think to call me when you were in danger. I told you to reach out to me as soon as you ran into trouble."Just then, Seraphine belatedly realized something—how did he know she was in trouble in the first place?"Eli, how did you know I was here?"Elliott didn't come clean about hiring private bodyguards to protect her from the shadows, so he made up an excuse."I couldn't reach you, so I knew something had happened to you. I checked your phone location tracking and eventually found you here."Everything sounded logical, and Seraphine didn't doubt him one

Elliott's arms were so strong and muscular that he could easily carry two Seraphines. It was the result of years of hard training.In a low voice, he warned her, "Don't move, and just let me carry you. Your foot wound is deep, and it'll be painful if it reopens."Hearing his warning, Seraphine stayed still.Many people came and went around them, and most of their eyes were drawn to them. Elliott's face was impossible to ignore.Women passing by couldn't look away from him, but when they saw Seraphine in his arms, those who thought about asking for his number stopped in their tracks. All they could do was enviously watch as they left.Noticing the awe-inspiring gazes shot in their way, Seraphine broke into a smile and asked, "Isn't it dangerous for you to go out?"Elliott had a dangerously handsome face. Even she wanted to drag him home and lock him up so no other woman could steal a glance.Then, it hit her. What a ridiculous thought that was! How did she end up with such fierce

Seraphine stood up and limped toward the study. She gently pushed open the door and saw Elliott sitting before her desk, his face serious in a video-call meeting.She couldn't help but chuckle. They were right when they said men were the most attractive when focused. He sat slightly turned to the side, his attentive expression unbelievably charming.She watched him quietly for a moment before slipping away. The meeting was supposed to last two hours. By the time she sneaked out and returned, he might still be in the study.Hence, without making a sound, she left the apartment.Meanwhile, Elliott was fully absorbed in the meeting, dealing with some issues on an overseas project. He was so focused that he didn't notice she had left.Soon, Seraphine arrived at the meeting spot—a stylish cafe with an elegant but rustic air.There were wooden chairs with a rose placed on each table. Soft, romantic music played in the background, giving it a carefully curated atmosphere.She didn't se

Aria's questions stumped Seraphine. She knew revenge wasn't always easy, but it was only a matter of time before Clarissa fell into her hands and was locked behind bars.She smiled freely, glowing with effortless beauty. "I know what you mean, but I have my own way of getting revenge.""I know what you're thinking," Aria said. "You want to take your sweet time to take them down. But Clarissa is an extremely vicious woman, Seraphine. She won't even give you that time to plot her downfall."It's clear she wanted to finish you off with that abduction today. The fact that you've found out about her and Mitchell's relationship means she'll do anything to keep your mouth shut, including killing you."She might've failed this time, but she'll only move on to her next attempt. To get revenge, you must outsmart all her traps and schemes. If you work with me, I'll be the one helping you from the shadows—""Ms. Snow," Seraphine cut her off, "I can consider the partnership, but I need you to

In Elliott's eyes, Seraphine caught a trace of nervousness. He had been worried about her. A warm sensation bloomed across her chest, spreading through her entire body.She smiled, a mix of playfulness and a hint of guilt, but the warmth inside pushed away her unease. "I got bored at home, so I went to get you some coffee. This one's for you."Elliott almost laughed at her excuse. She clearly went out to meet someone, yet she covered it up with a coffee run. Whatever—at least she cared enough to bring him coffee.He was in the middle of a long meeting, and a cup of coffee was just what he needed.He took the coffee from her hand and reached out to gently tousle her hair, reminding her, "Your foot is injured, Sera. Let me handle things like this from now on. No more sneaky little errands, okay?"With that, he set the coffee aside, then wrapped his strong arms around her and lifted her effortlessly.Seraphine froze, her heart pounding wildly. "I-I can walk just fine, Eli!"She tri
