Chapter 8
Chloe put on this pitiful smile, clutching her chest dramatically as she whined:
“What does she have that I don’t? You promised to marry me, then changed your mind, and I was totally cool about it – no drama at all“]
“She almost bankrupted your company, and I’m trying to get your money back because I don’t want you to lose everything“]
“I’ve been so good to you – I even gave you my virginity.” She pointed at me
“She’s used goods! What makes her better than me? If you married me, I wouldn’t care about all your
“I already beat her fair and square, so why are you trying to dump me now? That’s not fair!“]
If was obvious she just wanted to marry rich and couldn’t care less if her husband was a serial cheater.
Girls who looked like her were a dime a dozen.]
Plus she was some small–town nobody who’d lucked into finding a wealthy guy.
Now she was head–to–toe designer everything, professionally made up, radiating that sugar baby vibe.
Completely different from when I first met her.
Some people chase money, others chase love.
At nineteen, she already knew exactly what she wanted – honestly, kind of impressive.]
side pieces!”
I cut to the chase: “What the hell is this eighty million bullshit? If you’re gonna frame me, you better have proof!“]
“Before you left for overseas, I went to try on wedding dresses. I told you I wanted the cheapest one, but you had no morals and gave me a ninety–million–dollar dress”
“Then when you were helping me try it on, you deliberately damaged it! Damon only had eighty million to his name!“]
“Because of your scheming, he’s completely broke! His company has no cash flow of course it’s struggling“]
“This whole mess ruined things between me and Damon for the longest time!”
“You owe me an explanation.“]
Wow, the audacity was truly next level
She could frame someone and still act like the victim with a straight face.
Before I could respond, Damon snapped at Chloe:
“Shut up! What happens between Seraphina and me is none of your damn business!”
Then he tried sweet–talking me: “Seraphina, just come back and we can put all this behind us, okay? Let’s not hold grudges
anymore.”
I smiled coldly: “You don’t want to hold grudges? Well, I absolutely do.“]
I pulled out the security footage I’d copied and showed it to Damon:]
“I saved this video before leaving the country. It shows exactly what really happened.“]
Chloe’s face went white as she froze in panic.]
And Damon stared at me in disbelief:[]
“I asked your boss about the security cameras – he said they were broken. How do you have footage?”
Thaddeus laughed at his stupidity: “If you can’t figure out something this obvious, what can you actually do?”
Cameras alturas
always mysteriously “break” when people do shady shit. He even couldn’t see through that obvious act.]
Thank God I’d saved that video as insurance in case Chloe tried pulling something with the wedding dress incident.[]
My paranoid preparation had totally paid off.]
The video showed everything exactly as it happened.
Damon watched Chloe specifically choose the most expensive dress, humiliate me repeatedly, and then falsely accuse me of attacking her.
He was so furious then he slapped Chloe to the ground:[]
“You lying bitch! You did all of this!“]]
“You made me doubt Seraphina for months!”
I had zero interest in watching these two tear each other apart. Thaddeus and I turned to leave.]
But Damon desperately chased after us, blocking my path:
“Seraphina, I was wrong! Please give me one last chance!”
Thaddeus had run out of patience. One look from him and his two bodyguards dragged Damon away.
I got in the car, but I could still hear him screaming my name like his life depended on it.[]
