Karma Is My Name のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 261 - チャプター 270

Upon hearing what Clarissa said, Chelsea couldn't help but let out a bitter, incredulous laugh. She finally realized that Clarissa knew exactly what her weakness was, using that knowledge to turn her into a willing pawn against Seraphine.She condemned herself for being so naive. She had thrown away five years of genuine kindness from Seraphine just for the promise of a few material things. She couldn't help but wonder if she was now paying the immediate price for her actions.She knew that Clarissa was aware of her weakness for expensive handbags, particularly high-end luxury brands. She had just returned to the Johansen family, and Clarissa had already bought her several handbags worth more than 200 thousand dollars each just to win her favor.She momentarily convinced herself that Clarissa cared for her more than Seraphine did since Seraphine had never indulged her that way. She was completely naive then, believing that those expensive handbags were proof of her social standing a

Mitchell, hidden in the shadows, nodded slightly before tossing Kevin a bag of money and swiftly leaving the grocery store.Kevin accepted the money with a grin and left the grocery store in high spirits.…In the meantime, Clifford received a message from Chelsea. "I'm on my way to meet up with Seraphine since she invited me, Cliff. I have crucial information to share when I return later. I don't actually hold anything against you, Cliff."He had been looking for Chelsea all over. He immediately grew apprehensive when he received Chelsea's text. He quickly checked the meeting location and jumped into a cab to rush over and find her. He felt a surge of remorse when he realized that Chelsea didn't hold him responsible for what happened to her.…It was early in the evening, with the sun setting below the horizon and painting everything in shades of crimson. It was slightly chilly, as the cool evening breeze blew gently.Chelsea had been waiting at the junction for a long while, y

Seraphine had no idea how Clifford had found the location. She was certain she hadn't messaged Chelsea, nor had she ever set up a meeting at that spot. She would only ever arrange meetings at high-end private rooms or stylish cafes. She was, after all, someone who preferred places with an intimate atmosphere.Clifford's fury intensified with Seraphine's refusal to confess, pushing his sanity to the brink. He bellowed at Seraphine, "It was because Chels sent me a message, saying that she was meeting you here! She had also mentioned that she had something very important to tell me afterward."I was the one who hurt you, Seraphine. Why did you target Chels? You practically watched her grow from a teenager to the young woman she is now! You showered her with kindness, indulged her, and supported her. Why would you maliciously scheme against her now?"Clifford completely broke down.Seraphine fixed him with a frigid glare as she explained, "You just pointed out how much I care about h

Clifford sat on the floor in anguish, staring at the doctors working to resuscitate Elaine.Stephen's phone call echoed in his mind, and for the first time, he truly understood what it meant to belong to a heartless, wealthy family.Behind all the status and glory was nothing but cold, ruthless cruelty. When faced with profit and power, what did family even matter? Even death was a privilege Chelsea was denied.Clifford sat there in a daze, as if the whole world had vanished and only he remained. He was trapped in a dimension of his own, shrouded in grief.Clarissa looked at his slumped, broken figure, frustration flashing across her face. She didn't interrupt his sorrow, instead staying by his side in silence.The Clifford before her was no longer the naive, foolish young man he once was. After years of surviving the power struggles of the wealthy elite, he had become frightening, even to himself.Back then, he used to work part-time jobs, saving up half a year's wages just to b

Elliott's tone was firm, leaving no room for argument. "I'm coming with you, Sera. My night is freed up anyway."Seeing the determination in his eyes, Seraphine looked at him and didn't know what to say. This was her problem, and she couldn't drag him into any potential danger.She shook her head. "You've already helped me more than enough, Eli. From here on, I want to handle things on my own. This is a conspiracy, and I can't let you get caught up in it."They were, after all, little more than acquaintances. He had done more for her than she could've asked."Seraphine," Elliott said her name, his gaze locking deeply onto hers. "I told you that so long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you. Tell me where you're going, and I'll go with you."His gaze was extremely magnetic at that moment, commanding and domineering. He took her hand and led her toward the car parked by the curb.Seraphine glanced at Elliott's tall, commanding figure. He was broad-shouldered and straight-backed,
