Clifford let out a cold laugh. "Chester, do you think I'm still scared of rumors? If I can't have Seraphine, then no other man will have her either. She either becomes useful to me, or she loses everything. There's no turning back for me."If she doesn't help me, she can't help other men either. Back then, she always supported my dreams without question, and everything she did revolved around me. The slightest frown from me would make her worry I was unwell."Do you know how warm that felt? Her eyes were always on me. You saw it as well, didn't you? In her world, it was just me."Once I take control of the entire Johansen family, I'll make sure she stays by my side for life."Chester let out a sigh. He knew there was no talking Clifford out of this. Did he really think he could just control Seraphine however he wanted? Such behavior was honestly disgusting."Mr. Johansen, I know you're not reconciled to losing her, but you're the one who let her go. What good does it do to regret

Seraphine felt a bad premonition. She whipped around and saw Clifford standing behind her with that smirk on his face, his eyes locked entirely on her.His stare made her skin crawl. She was furious. "Clifford, you're disgusting. Did you actually drug me? Don't even think about laying a finger on me."She hadn't touched the juice, so how was she drugged?Then she remembered that faint scent she'd picked up earlier. She thought it was coming from his coffee. She hadn't paid attention to it, but she never expected that tiny hint of fragrance to be the trap.Clifford refused to admit it. If he did, she'd hate him even more. He looked at her with a wounded expression. "Sera, what are you talking about? Why would I ever do something like that?"You didn't drink a single sip of the juice I ordered for you. When would I have had time to drug you?"Think carefully. Before you came here, did you eat something you shouldn't have?""But…" Seraphine had no proof. She didn't want to argue, a

"I-I don't have the key. I feel so uncomfortable, so please help me, Eli," Seraphine replied, her voice thick with tears. She then leaned into Elliott, finding the cool touch of his body a great source of comfort.Elliott held her tightly with one arm while the other hand gently patted her feverish cheek. He held her gaze with his deep, profound eyes, his voice dropping to a husky murmur while asking, "How can I help you, Sera?"Seraphine gazed up at Elliott's striking face, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "I-I want you to help me take a cold shower."Elliott shook his head, saying, "I can't do that since it'll be too hard on your body. I'll get you a doctor right now."Seraphine began to weep uncontrollably, shaking her head in refusal. "I don't want to go to the doctor! I-It's already too late for that! I feel awful—the drug is causing my veins to swell up, and my head is splitting, Eli!"Elliott's intense gaze became even more profound. "Sera…"Seraphine held herself cl

Elliott reached out and gently brushed the tip of Seraphine's nose. His voice held a gentle warmth while replying, "I shouldn't be the one to tell you that, Sera."Seraphine gripped his hand and coaxed softly, "Please tell me, Eli."Elliott held her gaze with his deep, penetrating eyes, thinking that it was time to let Seraphine understand his true feelings. "What if I were to tell you that the man from the part of your memory you lost is actually me, Sera?"Seraphine was still reeling from the question when Elliott deliberately raised his wrist, showing Seraphine the little crystal fox charm that was exactly the same as the pale purple little fox charm on her wrist.Seraphine was stunned. She had noticed the charm before and found it vaguely familiar but hadn't thought much of it. She grabbed his hand and stared intently at the little fox charm on his wrist. She knew instantly that it was her design. She hurriedly asked in confusion, "What's going on here, Eli? I can't be wrong

Upon hearing Clifford's condescending offer, Seraphine burst out laughing, the only rational response to such a ridiculous delusion. "If I had realized during your pursuit that you were only clinging to me as a last resort because Clarissa had abandoned you, I never would have wasted a moment looking at you, Clifford, especially given my character."Clifford was momentarily stunned. He met her tranquil gaze, and a suffocating lump rose in his throat, rendering him speechless for a long, terrible moment. He realized then that his secret was exposed. He had originally pursued Seraphine only because she was Andrea's daughter, approaching her with a calculated agenda. His bitterness stemmed from the fact that his lack of wealth was why Clarissa, the woman he loved, had so easily abandoned him."You and I were so happy back then—"Seraphine immediately cut him off, saying, "It was indeed a happy period for you, because with my help, your life improved immensely. "You know what I go
