Seraphine smiled lazily, amusement coloring her gaze as she met Elaine's frightened one. She watched as Elaine and Chelsea became angry yet helpless as they listened to her threats.They looked down on her and Andrea, yet they had to rely on Andrea's technology to continue living in luxury. They were utterly shameless!"I'm not threatening you, Mrs. Johansen. You guys are the ones who have pushed me too far. Keep this up, and I'll expose the dirty little secrets Clifford and Clarissa have kept. Plenty of people know that Clifford and I were together for five years. Are you sure the Johansen family can silence them all?" Seraphine asked coldly.Elaine was stunned as she stared at Seraphine's icy expression. The look in her eyes wasn't one she recognized, and she had to admit that Seraphine had changed. She said, "You've changed, Seraphine. You were always obedient and—""That's because I thought of you guys as family. Why should I still be polite to you when I don't even want Cliffo

Seraphine's assistant's name was Valerie Finch. She said, "Got it. I'll look into Clarissa. Should I also deal with the trending topics?"Seraphine said calmly, "Don't bother about that. Investigate Clarissa first.""Alright."Seraphine hung up and continued eating. She was still surprised by the police arresting Elaine and Chelsea. When did the building's property management suddenly become so responsible? Was it because they'd irresponsibly allowed Elaine and Chelsea in? Had they called the police for her because they didn't want to be blamed?That made sense to her.After she was done, she washed the dishes. When she emerged from the kitchen, she saw her phone light up again. She picked it up to see Clifford calling. It annoyed her. Why wouldn't this pest leave her alone?She took a deep breath and answered the call. "What now?""Seraphine, I've asked Johansen Group's PR team to clarify our relationship. You can check the announcement online," Clifford said tersely.Seraph

Clifford narrowed his eyes at Clarissa's words and thought about how much Andrea had loved Seraphine. It wasn't impossible. Seraphine wasn't gone yet—he spotted her back in the darkness and called out to her, "Seraphine, wait!"He ran after her and stopped before her, his shadow looming over her. He wasn't the aloof type, so Seraphine didn't find him too daunting. Now that she wasn't blinded by her love for him, she found that he was pretty ordinary.Why had she fallen for him in the first place? Maybe she'd been enchanted by his initial hard work and effort. Perhaps that had led her to think he was outstanding.She looked at him indifferently without saying anything.Clifford hesitated briefly before asking, "Did Professor Lodge hand the core technology to you, Seraphine?"Seraphine didn't reveal anything as she observed him. "Don't you know better than anyone what I've done over the past five years?"She deliberately kept her response vague.Clifford stared at Seraphine's ca

Clifford faltered. He'd been so focused on going after Seraphine that he'd forgotten about Clarissa. He turned to look at her tenderly. At the same time, he couldn't help forming a sliver of doubt over her kindness. After all, she'd sent Andrea those taunting texts, resulting in the latter dying from a heart attack.He said, "I need to speak to Seraphine about something, Clary. Your guess is probably right—she should know about the core technology."Clarissa's gaze flickered. She knew Clifford had feelings for Seraphine, so she couldn't let them be alone. She said, "I'll go with you, Clifford. You broke Seraphine's heart, and she's hostile to you now. Look at how she had Elaine and Chelsea arrested. If you go after her now, she'll call the cops again."Clifford frowned and thought about Seraphine's attitude. He knew she would only be angrier if he were to bring Clarissa with him. "Clary, you take Mom and Chelsea home to rest while I go after Seraphine. She'll only be more agitated

Seraphine trembled as Clarissa's venomous words echoed in her ears. A deep, raw pain surged in her. At the time, she had no idea Clarissa even existed, yet the latter already held a blade to Andrea's throat.And who was the one who'd poisoned Andrea? She'd yet to find out anything about that.Seraphine stepped back and raised a hand. Then, she slapped Clarissa hard across the face, putting all the strength she could muster into it.Clarissa saw a figure running toward them and collapsed onto the ground, clutching her cheek. When Clifford arrived, she looked up at him tearfully and said, "Clifford, my face hurts. I was just trying to persuade Seraphine to give Lisa the targeted medication—she's too old to go without it. But Seraphine refused and even hit me."While Elaine and Seraphine had spoken earlier, Clarissa had texted Clifford to tell him Seraphine was back and at the police station. She'd timed it perfectly, deliberately provoking Seraphine to make the latter slap her. Sure
