Chapter 5

After eating the sweet candy, my energy did indeed recover significantly.

After Seraphina Thorne washed her hands with my blood, her complexion gradually became rosy.

Julian Hayes wiped away his tears, relieved, and instructed someone to bring out the prepared gift.

Everyone watched eagerly, curious to see the legendary “Heart of the Ocean” necklace.

The moment the gift box was opened,

Its contents shocked everyone.

Used condoms of various colors were tied into a bouquet.

Although Julian Hayes quickly slammed the box shut, Seraphina had already seen everything.

Seraphina’s eyes immediately welled up with tears, her delicate face crumpling.

The doctor quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

“Miss Thorne, there’s a jewelry appraisal certificate at the bottom of the box. The gift was swapped. Mr. Hayes is innocent.”

Julian Hayes nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Seraphina skeptically reopened the box.

Beneath the bouquet was a pregnancy test report with Seraphina Thorne’s name on it.

Seraphina froze for a second, then a trembling sentence escaped her lips.

“I didn’t, I’m innocent.”

“If you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it with my death!”

With that, Seraphina moved to open the first-floor window, ready to jump.

Along with the pregnancy test report, a photo of me personally handing the gold bars to Chloe also fell out.

The instant he saw the photo,

Julian Hayes grabbed Seraphina, who was trying to kill herself, with one hand.

With the other, he delivered a stinging slap across my face.

“Tell me, why are you trying to frame Seraphina and me?!”

Now it was my turn to say, with a snotty, tearful face,

“I didn’t, I’m innocent.”

The assistant quickly added,

“Mr. Hayes, we’ve already investigated. This auction house was originally Mrs. Hayes’s property.”

“And, Mrs. Hayes spends almost all her free time in the room upstairs.”

A true CEO’s assistant, efficient indeed.

I was so hungry.

The scent of the Ultimate Tonic was constantly teasing me.

I tried to hold back, forcing my drool to appear as tears.

My voice choked.

“Darling, even if your affair is real, I wouldn’t dare tell Miss Thorne!”

Julian Hayes’s face darkened.

“Hmph, a woman reeking of money like you doesn’t deserve to be by my side. Divorce!”

Now I was truly desperate.

My legs gave out, and I knelt on the floor, clutching Julian’s leg and weeping.

“Darling, what meaning does my life have without you?”

“Fine, divorce, but at least let me help you find the last woman first.”

Seraphina was provoked by my words.

While I clung to Julian,

Seraphina broke free, pushed past everyone, and ran straight upstairs.

The woman who usually seemed so fragile, easily knocked over.

Now moved like a gust of wind; the bodyguards couldn’t stop her.

Julian Hayes kicked me away.

He warned:

“Get lost! If anything happens to Seraphina, I’ll drain your blood and use it to water flowers!”
