Semua Bab Karma Is My Name: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Seeing the anger on Aria's face, Clifford broke into an enigmatic smile. "I see. It seems I've got the wrong idea here. The whole time, I'd assumed you were into me. In that case, I'll take my leave."He rose to his feet, only for her to hold him back. She formed her hands into fists and lightly pounded them against his chest, pretending to look flustered."You're so mean, Mr. Johansen. Did you see through my tricks?"He flashed her an ambiguous smirk and couldn't help but be mesmerized by her big, watery eyes. If he had to compare, Aria was much more captivating than Clarissa.Even when she was putting on a show to please him, he didn't feel an ounce of annoyance.Faced with his silence, Aria wasn't the least bit daunted. Instead, she kept going."Everyone in Jeriton knows you're a talented CEO. I, myself, really admire your abilities, which is why I came to interview for a position at Johansen Group as soon as I returned to the country."I just didn't expect Clary to be your w

Chelsea was livid. It turned out Seraphine had never intended to let her off the hook. She had always kept that piece of evidence as a trump card so she could use it against her one day.How calculating was she?"No wonder Cliff dumped your ass and married Clary right away. Someone as two-faced and evil as you has no business being my sister-in-law! You deserve to be abandoned by him and your dead mother!"It still broke Seraphine to this day whenever she heard such words. She knew it was her fault that she had given them the chance to hurt her."Have a nice day at the police station," she told Chelsea nonchalantly, then proceeded to dial 911.Soon, Chelsea would find out just how ruthless Seraphine could be. The latter wasn't someone who would show up to challenges unprepared. All the former ever did was dig her own grave and make her own life miserable.At that, Clarissa quickly went to stop her. "Don't do it, Seraphine. You can't call the cops. Chelsea can't afford to get lock

"No, wait!" Chelsea yelled, looking at Seraphine with eyes full of regret. "Seraphine, let's just settle this between us. I'll apologize and do anything you want! Just don't send me to the police, please?"Stephen would kick her out, and by then, she would live a hard, miserable life.Clarrisa quickly chimed in, "I swear we won't bother you again, Seraphine. Please let us go. We'll compensate and apologize to you."Seraphine stopped, looking at them with a cold look.Aaron turned to her. "Ms. Lodge, this family has repeatedly harassed you. If you let them go now, they'll only get worse. They need to be held accountable."He didn't say more, knowing Seraphine understood what he meant.Chelsea cried out, "No, Officer, it was all a misunderstanding! I promise this is the last time. She and my brother used to date, so we thought he'd be here. It was just a misunderstanding!""Our investigation will tell us whether this has been a misunderstanding," he replied solemnly.Clarissa's e

Aria was burning with anger, but her hoarse voice made her sound a lot less intimidating. "He went to work, said he had an important meeting, and told me to stay home and rest. We did another round before he left."She scoffed, continuing, "He even told me he would keep me as his mistress and buy me a villa. I told him I didn't want that and said he should buy me the apartment I'm renting now instead.""Piece of advice? Don't walk away empty-handed now that you're with him," Seraphine said. "That villa's worth tens of millions of dollars. If things end between you two, sell it and live well. You gave him a valuable part of yourself, so you earned it."She had been foolish herself, giving everything and expecting nothing in return from the people she thought were her future family. Now that Aria had sacrificed a part of herself, she ought to get something back for it.Aria smiled lightly. "I may not have taken anything yet, but it's only temporary. I want more. Everything Clarissa h

A cheerful Clifford immediately dodged as the cup hurled at him. The porcelain hit Chester with a dull thud before shattering into pieces on the floor.Within seconds, a bruise formed on his head. He frowned, ready to lash out, then froze when he saw Horace. Clearly, he was here to cause trouble.Clifford's icy gaze shot toward Horace, who stood authoritatively in his brown suit and walking cane. The two locked eyes. Was Horace really here to blow up at him this early in the morning?Clifford remembered having signed an agreement regarding Nina's procedure. Her fate should no longer be his concern. With utter indifference, he walked up to Horace and asked, "What are you doing here, Mr. Miller?"Horace narrowed his eyes, glaring at him with anger. "I entrusted my precious granddaughter to you, yet you let her die because of an inexperienced surgeon who didn't know how to do his job!"No matter what, Clifford had to pay for Nina's death.Clifford's expression darkened instantly.
