Soon, it was ti for sumr vacation.
Students carrying their backpacks walked out of the school gates, their faces brimming with excitent.
After arranging destinations for the Summit Society mbers, Seraphina Redgrave found herself enjoying peace and leisure.
The Law Council hadn’t responded yet. Ethan Sterling’s recovery was progressing, and his focus was shifting back to the Sterling Group, leaving no ti for her.
Seraphina also delighted in the tranquility, frequently visiting the library to delve into and understand law-related books thoroughly.
She was determined to join the Law Council, and so she must prepare well, ensuring she wouldn’t lose.
That afternoon, Seraphina Redgrave was navigating the bookshelves, selecting books to delve into today.
The sunlight was perfect, streaming through the glass windows, casting a beautiful shadow on her.
Seraphina Redgrave was wearing wireless earbuds, and the excited voice of Nanny Lynch ca through them.
"Miss, I see that our young master absolutely cherishes you in his heart, knowing you love sweets, he specially built a candy house for you, and it’s fully equipped now. The variety of candies inside is countless, with types from all over the world!"
"That’s nice." Seraphina answered calmly.
After leaving The Presidential Palace that day, Ethan Sterling had beco quite irritable.
While she was pondering how to discern Ethan Sterling’s thoughts, he seed to transform overnight.
Acting even... more doting towards her? That seed the only way to describe it.
Knowing she liked sweets, he set up a candy house with a pastry chef on standby to make cakes for her.
He almost bought an entire brand straight from the magazine when he saw they released new models.
The newly created wardrobe for her was filled with luxurious items, from head to toe, with everything one could wish for.
Many others too; anything Seraphina glanced at more than twice was sure to appear at her bedside the next day.
"Miss, your tone doesn’t sound particularly happy." Nanny Lynch said cautiously.
"I’m fine."
Seraphina remained composed.
Speaking while picking up a book from the shelf.
Although Ethan Sterling indulged her to no limits, it made her feel like a re little pet.
Everything was provided for this little pet to generate reliance on him, and slowly, this little pet wouldn’t be able to adapt to regular life anymore.
Thus, Ethan Sterling’s goal would be achieved.
Yet Seraphina Redgrave would never beco a re pet.
She would always stay lucid.
After ending the call with Nanny Lynch, Seraphina aid to return to her seat when her phone suddenly vibrated—a ssage from Ethan Sterling.
It was a very short video.
A necklace appeared on the screen, displaying a sun and moon alternation, where the light reflected on different angles making the sun shine differently until it gradually transitioned to the moon portion, resembling the shift from dawn until dusk with varied illumination.
Beautiful, it was indeed stunning.
Who knows how radiant it would be on one’s neck.
Ethan Sterling sent another ssage: Sending you this specifically, it seems it would only suit you the mont I saw it.
A simple phrase, making it sound as if the necklace was worthless.
While Seraphina Redgrave pondered over the necklace’s value, a news notification popped up:
18th-century C Country’s most precious item from the Queen’s collection, "Sun and Moon" necklace, bought by a mysterious collector at a whopping 1.2 billion!
"..."
No need to guess, Ethan Sterling truly doesn’t view money as a concern.
Seraphina chuckled softly, thinking she’d likely need a separate jewelry room for her wardrobe soon.
Seraphina bit her lip and sent Ethan Sterling a ssage saying "Thank you."
Actually, the necklace held little significance for Seraphina, but since Ethan Sterling had given it, there was no point in refusing; it was better just to accept it.
Soon, her phone vibrated again: I’m occupied tonight, can’t co to see you, so co over and join for dinner.
Hm, never seen you have this habit before.
Although Seraphina wasn’t keen on going, she didn’t decline,
since she had no plans, she might as well relax after studying.
...
With the evening glow descending, Seraphina put the hefty book down, tidied up, and got into the car heading toward the Sterling Group.
Recently, she acquired her driving license, learning quickly to drive for future ease in leaving.
Seraphina parked outside the Sterling Group, deciding not to drive in, and waited in the open area for Ethan Sterling.
Feeling the urge again, Seraphina popped a strawberry candy in her mouth, picking up the law book she was reading earlier once more.
After a while, her eyes felt strained, so she shut the book and set it aside.
The clouds of the day turned fiery red under the setting sun, akin to the heart drunk with emotions.
Gazing into the horizon, Seraphina spotted a distinguished-looking man suddenly entering her view, Ethan Sterling.
He walked with assured steps, undeniably born to stand out in a crowd.
Following him were Nathan Ayers and bodyguards.
Seraphina was montarily lost in thought before snapping back and preparing to step out of the car.
But before she could get out, a graceful woman erged from the car parked ahead, walking toward Ethan Sterling.
The woman wearing a white knitted dress seed innocuous, like a girl-next-door.
As she turned, Seraphina recognized her as Selena Quinn, absent for a long ti.
Looks like her recovery is quite good; after being stabbed, now she can co out like this.
Selena’s face was pale, likened to a small white flower swaying in the wind.
With a harmless smile, what man wouldn’t be moved?
"Big Brother, long ti no see."
Intercepted, Ethan Sterling showed a trace of impatience, but upon recognizing the woman, he revealed a hint of surprise, "You’re not dead?"
"..."
Selena hadn’t anticipated this response, imagining every possible reply except this one.
"Ha." Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh aloud.
The laughter was loud enough for Ethan and Selena to look toward her, realizing she hadn’t rolled up the window.
Yet she showed no embarrassnt from being discovered, remaining unaffected.
Upon seeing her, Ethan’s previously emotionless gaze rippled with anticipation.
Selena’s expression darkened, her lips tightly pursed, holding back the intense jealousy within.
But Selena quickly regained herself, smiling calmly, "So big brother already has plans with Sylvia, I’m intruding then, so I’ll be off."
Although her words said one thing, her gaze toward Ethan Sterling said otherwise.
However, since laying eyes on Seraphina, Ethan never even spared Selena a glance, walking only toward Seraphina Redgrave.
"Cough.. cough cough..."
Selena clutched her chest, coughing vehently.
Tottering slightly.
She couldn’t understand why Seraphina deserved such attention! Why he could treat her so heartlessly.
