Horace was surprised by how easily the anonymous messenger read his mind. Still, he contemplated the possibility that he was just another pawn in her plan to get back at Clifford.He replied, "You seem to understand me fairly well. In fact, you've read my mind. I can't help but think that you might be using me to take revenge."Seraphine answered, "Clifford is our common enemy, and I didn't tell you the truth to use you. If you decide to deal with him, cool—I have a new teammate. But if you don't, it's fine. My intention has always been to bring the truth to you."She added, "Also, Cameron isn't a bad choice. He's a reliable man."Horace concluded, "That's what I thought as well. I will seek him for alliance."Seraphine sighed deeply. This was exactly what she wanted.If Horace had acted impulsively, he would only have ended up getting played by Clifford. On the other hand, if he worked with Cameron, allowing the latter to grow stronger, they might have a shot at pushing Clifford

Clifford readily agreed to Horace's request. To him, anything money could solve wasn't considered a problem. He smiled. "Okay, Mr. Miller. It is our company's mistake, after all. But I do have a favor to ask.""What is it?" Horace asked.With a smile still lingering on his face, Clifford inched closer toward Horace with a threat. "Delete the video. It shall never see the light of day."The video only existed within the company. Frankly, not even Clifford knew how it got leaked. There must've been a mole among them.The headquarters had thousands of employees, so finding the traitor would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Still, he had plenty of ways to deal with people like that. He would investigate once he got back.Horace similarly agreed to his request. He had a backup copy somewhere else, so deleting this one would make no difference. The more arrogant Clifford got, the quicker he would meet his doom.Horace took out his phone and deleted the footage in front of hi

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

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

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
