Chapter 49

Vivian was dumbfounded.

Julian had never treated Vivian like this. He always spoke in a soft voice to her. Even when she lost her temper, he always comforted her patiently. However, this time, he scolded her and even was angry with her in public.

Vivian was so shocked that she forgot to cry and stood there dumbfounded.

Julian turned around and saw the scene. He felt worried about Vivian and wanted to comfort her, but he was also in trouble. He sighed and said, “I’m in a mess now. I need to come up with a way to deal with it. Take a rest and go back by yourself.”

After saying that, Julian left her alone.

Vivian was angry and resentful. Over the years, she had achieved career success and had an enviable lover. She was about to succeed in kicking Seraphina away and be the wife of Prosperian Company’s CEO justifiably.

Vivian had made up her mind. After she married Julian, she would announce her retreat. Anyway, at that time, Prosperian Company would develop well. She just needed to hire some capable people to replace Seraphina, and she could start to enjoy life.

Unexpectedly, when Vivian was so close to succeeding, her plan fell.

Vivian thought, ‘Prosperian Company is facing a crisis. Julian has changed his attitude toward me obviously. It’s all Seraphina’s fault!

‘If Seraphina didn’t make trouble, everything wouldn’t be like this!

‘Seraphina, it’s all your fault!’

After leaving the cafe, Seraphina said goodbye to Nathan in the parking lot.

“Mr. Lambert, thank you so much today. I’m sorry to trouble you,” Seraphina thanked him sincerely and shook his hand.

Nathan shook her hand. “You’re welcome. It’s my duty, and it’s not that troublesome, but…”

After hesitating for a while, Nathan met Seraphina’s puzzled gaze and added, “I probably learned what had happened from your conversation. They took your formula as their own and accused you of stealing it.”

Seraphina said with a faint smile, “However, the conversation just now can’t be used as evidence in court, right?”

“You’re right!” Nathan nodded. He was surprised at Seraphina’s calmness. “It seems that you’re not worried about it.”

Seraphina spoke in a relaxed tone, “As you’ve seen, they are the plaintiffs and I am the defendant. Have you ever seen the plaintiffs begging for mercy from the defendants? So why should I be anxious?” It seemed that she didn’t worry about it at all.

Being infected by Seraphina, Nathan also smiled, “Yes! For so many years, I haven’t seen it since I became a lawyer! In this way, there is no need for you to be worried indeed, but I have another question…”

“Please go ahead.”

“As for the formula they mentioned, did you really…” Nathan paused. There was no need for him to say it out completely. Seraphina would understand his meaning.

Seraphina smiled, “Love your neighbor, yet pull not down your fence. Although I was blinded by them and became alert a little late, it’s better than nothing, right?”

Nathan understood her meaning and smiled more brightly, “You’re right! If they didn’t have intentions to hurt others, they wouldn’t get hurt. Ms. Jones, I admire you so much.”

“Thanks! It’s so nice to hear it! You are professional, knowledgeable, and can distinguish right from wrong. I have a lot of things to learn from you!”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Nathan reached out his hand to Seraphina again. This time, he was obviously more enthusiastic.

Seraphina shook hands with him and smiled, “Me too!”

After saying goodbye to Nathan, Seraphina planned to take a taxi to the company. Although Mia said that Seraphina didn’t need to go to work immediately, Seraphina hoped to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible since she had officially joined the company.

Mia also said that Seraphina would be officially admitted to the laboratory after Seraphina handled her personal affairs.

Perhaps it was the rush hour. There were no empty taxis. Although Seraphina had placed an order on the App, no one took the order for a long time. She felt inconvenient to not have a car.

Julian bought a car for Seraphina before, but its ownership still belonged to Julian. At that time, Seraphina didn’t think much about it. When she recalled it now, she realized that she was too stu pid, but she didn’t feel pity for it. She did not want Julian’s things.

Seraphina looked at her watch and considered whether to take a bus. Suddenly,

someone patted her on the shoulder from behind.

Obviously, Seraphina felt that the person was aggressive. She frowned and turned around to get rid of the person, but she failed.

The person still put his hand on Seraphina’s shoulder firmly, but they were face to face

now.

“Seraphina, do you want to fight with me?”

The man standing in front of Seraphina was very thin. He wore a prim white shirt and had his cuffs buttoned tightly. The sapphire of his cuff buttons reflected bright light in the sunlight, which dazzled Seraphina.

“Henry Landon?!”

Seraphina moved her lips. When she called Henry, she even felt unfamiliar with his

name.

“Would you like to talk with me somewhere else?” Henry arched his eyebrows and let go of his hand, but his tone was non-negotiable.

Seraphina didn’t object. She followed him across two streets and finally came to a quiet alley.

At the end of the alley, it was a wall, so there was no one else. It was extremely quiet.

Henry didn’t stop until he reached the wall. He had one hand behind his back and the other beside his leg. After a while, he slowly turned around.

“Seraphina, long time no see.” He stood there and had no scruples to examine her up and down as if he wanted to see her clearly.

“Did you come here to see me specially?” Seraphina didn’t believe that it was a coincidence.

Over the past few years, it was impossible for the Landon family not to know Seraphina’s whereabouts, but they had never seen her. It wasn’t because they couldn’t replace her. It was because they didn’t want to see her at all.

At that time, Seraphina was so determined. She had no way back already.

Seeing Henry standing in front of her, she felt mixed feelings but still tried to keep

calm.

Taking two steps forward, Henry said, “Certainly. Look at you. yourself?”

What have you done to

Looking down at herself, Seraphina kept silent.

“Go back with me.” Without saying much, Henry directly stated his purpose.

“No!” Seraphina refused decisively.

“Up to now, are you still reluctant to give up? How have you treated him? And how has he treated you? Do you still love…”

Before Henry could finish his words, Seraphina suddenly looked up at him and said, “I don’t love him anymore! Julian and I are strangers now. From now on, I have nothing to do with him!”

“Then why do you refuse to go back with me?”

Henry looked at her calmly and asked, “Are you still angry with us after so long?”

Biting her lower lip, Seraphina thought for a long-time and said, “I’ll go back.”

She paused and added slowly, “But not now.”
