Billionaire’s Sweet Wife by Joanna Badldwin

Chapter 39
“Seraphina, what do you plan to do?” Emily shook her hand and asked, “Now they’re tarnishing your reputation, and I even saw some of your college classmates coming forward to slander you. I really don’t understand. We were all classmates; even if not friends, they shouldn’t be spreading lies like this!”
“It’s not entirely spreading lies. After all, back then, I wasn’t close to them. Few people knew about my relationship with Julian,” Seraphina said calmly.
She had to be objective about this. Besides, if they were really picking a formal timing, it was only after they were already done with college and after she received her first award when Julian earnestly confessed to her. They truly started their relationship then.
Later, after her “accident”, he stood by her side. Perhaps out of gratitude, or maybe feelings had developed, or for some other reason, her relationship with Julian quickly intensified. She willingly became the woman standing behind him, immersing herself in the lab day and night, focusing only on him and the fragrances, disregarding everything else.
Back then, she was driven by confusion, coupled with a sense of failure; she had no confidence in herself. She didn’t delve deeper into it. Now, looking back with a calm. mind, it seemed like every step was a pitfall, every move a trap.
“I see…” Emily furrowed her brows, lightly biting the small spoon. “So, there were no

were there no other common friends?”
Seraphina remained silent, gently shaking her head.
“Even if there were, there’s no need to involve others, especially since this matter is becoming more and more distorted.”
“So, you’re just letting them throw dirt on your name with no way to defend yourself?” Emily felt indignant on Seraphina’s behalf.
Emily thought, “This is too infuriating!
‘Being falsely accused and yet unable to clear her name-how frustrating!’

“Actually, don’t you think the current direction has deviated a bit?” Sipping her coffee. lightly, Seraphina remained calm. “Between me, them, and Prosperian Company, the biggest issue at the moment should be the copyright ownership of ‘First Love.’ As for the relationship between Julian and me, it’s entirely private, and there’s no need for others to meddle. Why did Julian choose this moment to expose this? Is it just to defend Vivian?”

Furrowing her brows, Emily thought seriously for a while and then slammed the table. “I know! They want to divert everyone’s attention with gossip, so they won’t focus on the original copyright issue.”
“No!” Seraphina laughed.
Her eyes looked outside; the sunshine was bright, and the weather was perfect. She had been immersed in the lab for a long time, and it had been ages since she noticed such favorable weather or even
d attention to the changes in the weather.
“This creates a sensory chain reaction. The reason they’re smearing me like this is to instill a fixed impression in everyone’s mind-I am a third party interfering in someone else’s relationship, someone who likes to sn atch things from others. Because I envy. Vivian and I fall short in every aspect compared to her, I am plotting to seize her achievements. Also, because of this, stealing the company’s confidential information and her ideas seems perfectly normal. No need for any evidence; everyone will believe. it. After all, I am a ‘third party, aren’t I?”
Emily was stunned for a moment and uttered, “Malicious!”
“Just some underhanded tricks that can’t see the light of day.” Withdrawing her gaze, Seraphina smiled lightly. “Those are all irrelevant. As long as I win this lawsuit, legitimately clearing my name, everything else is just a minor issue.”
Originally, Emily thought the situation was quite tricky, but hearing Seraphina’s talk made it seem so simple. However, Emily still didn’t understand how she intended to proceed.
“But the evidence…”
“The reason why evidence is called evidence is that it objectively exists. Julian thought that by taking notes and all the data, he took away all the evidence. But the most crucial part is right here!” She pointed to her own head and smiled. “He can’t take that away.”
After meeting with Emily, Seraphina had originally planned to go straight home, but unexpectedly, she received a call from Mia.
She didn’t have Mia’s number, so she was momentarily stunned upon hearing the voice, only realizing it was Mia after a while.
“The assessments for the second and third rounds are ready. Are you prepared?” Mia asked straightforwardly.
Seraphina thought for a moment. “When is it?”
“Aren’t you in a hurry? Now, today. Can you make it?” Mia’s tone carried a hint of provocation.

Seraphina was not afraid of provocation. Facing a challenge head-on wasn’t a big deal; the scariest thing was a knife in the back.
“Sure, I’ll go to the company right away. I’ll be there in 20 minutes,” Glancing at the time, Seraphina responded.
She had asked about the timing only to avoid a clash with the court hearing next week, but she didn’t expect Mia to be in such a hurry.
Nonetheless, this was a good thing as it was better to resolve it quickly. Regardless of who or how many people there were, Seraphina wouldn’t back down in terms of strength.

Mia sent her an address, instructing her not to return to the company and to go directly to this address. Mia didn’t provide details but simply mentioned that she would understand once she arrived.
