Semua Bab Karma Is My Name: Bab 511 - Bab 520

Clarissa's eyes aimed to kill, but she didn't feel wronged at all. She knew better than anyone what kind of person Elaine was. She only dared to be haughty at home but meek in public, someone who got angry but never spoke up."What did you mean by that?"For some reason, Clarissa felt like Elaine knew more than she let on. Her attitude had been strange, at least a contrast to her polite and gentle demeanor before. Lately, she had grown harsh and sharp toward her.Something must've happened that Clarissa didn't know about."You don't have to care what I meant. Instead, you just need to know one thing," Elaine replied sharply."From now on, you'll live under my rules. When you move back to Johansen Manor, you'll handle all the cleaning. Every piece of my clothing, you'll wash by hand. If you don't like it, go back to your family."There are plenty of women to bear my son's heir."Clarissa was speechless. She had never expected Elaine to treat her this way, putting her straight int

Elliott frowned and looked at Stephen. "What for? You chose Edgar, so there's no need to prove anything before me."His ruthless tone carried the authority of someone at the top.Stephen's face paled. He hadn't expected Elliott to speak so bluntly. At the same time, he now knew that everything he did to approach Edgar Johansen, Elliott's older brother, was under Elliott's watch. That realization was unsettling."Nice to see you again, Uncle Elliott," Clifford greeted softly, lowering his eyes.When in front of Elliott, he basically didn't have the right to speak. Hearing Elliott's words, he clenched his hands tightly at his sides. Elliott looked down on Stephen just as much.Stephen forced an elegant smile. "You can't say it like that, Elliott. I did go to Dirkane once, but I certainly didn't make any deals with Edgar. You have no reason to think that. We're family, after all."He changed the topic. "So, about tonight's international project—any specific plans in mind?"Elliott'

Clifford's expression was unreadable. He turned slightly, the high-quality fabric of his suit outlining his perfect figure. Ambition shone clearly in his eyes. "We'll find out in five days."Stephen looked at him and asked, "What's happening in five days?"Clifford wore a strange smile. "The Johansen Group versus Mysteria Studio trial. It starts in five days."Stephen frowned in disapproval. "You're seriously going to go through with such a humiliating lawsuit? From what you know of Seraphine, she has solid evidence, enough to challenge the company directly."I told you to recruit actual talents, and Annalise turned out to be just mediocre. These petty tricks won't hold up in court."Just thinking about Clifford's reckless plan made Stephen want to scold him. Meanwhile, Clifford thought of Seraphine's confident, self-assured expression and suddenly felt uncertain.She had so many surprises for him in store, most of which would turn into shocks in the end. If she found a weakness,

Seraphine opened the door, and what met Elliott's eyes were rows of suits in different styles and a whole section of shirts. With just one glance, he knew he adored all of them.As he walked through the closet, he brushed his fingers over the clothes. The soft fabric felt perfect to his touch. The cold edge in his deep eyes softened.This was the life he wanted—coming home to a wife who waited for him. Her warmth was something most men could only dream of. He had always known she was a comforting presence, and these days with her had been the happiest he had ever felt.Elliott lowered his head and looked at her, his voice soft but magnetic. "I love it, Sera. Everything about this is perfect."Seraphine's smile widened. "This brand was created by a friend of mine. I have shares in it, too, so I got 20% off when I bought from them. We also have counters in Dirkane. It's mainly a menswear brand. All the fabrics are eco-friendly."See that light beige shirt? It's dyed entirely with pl

Clifford felt a flicker of calm from Aria's gentle touch, the weight of his chest easing slightly. He turned to look into her eyes, catching the spark of something unspoken.He reached out, teasingly nudging her nose. "I've only been away for two days, and you're so eager to get me into bed."Aria smiled shyly and hugged him tighter around the waist. "You're my first… I never knew a woman could get addicted to this. When you're not here, I just… I can't get used to it and think about you all night. Now that you're here, of course, I'll make you feel good."Clifford liked hearing her say things like that. Everything she said made him happy. If Seraphine did the same, too, he would be elated.He glanced at the couch on the balcony and asked quietly, "Should we do it here? It'd be thrilling."Aria glanced at the buildings across from them, and there were still people awake. She didn't want to be seen, so she shook her head."Let's go to the living room. I don't care about being seen
