Chapter 18

Seeing my silence, Seraphine cleared her throat.“7 PM. If you don’t come, you’ll only get 100 million.” Without waiting for a response, she hung up.

I lowered my phone, thoughtful. I recalled Sherry’s warning… What was Seraphine up to? She never liked me; she’d despised my background and prevented me from moving into the Shaw residence for four years. She was consistently cold and sarcastic whenever I visited her. Beyond that, she hadn’t done anything else. This meeting was likely a final attempt to insult me and finalize the compensation agreement.

I’d been considering whether to go or not, but an hour later, Gary sent me another message:“Ms. Frost, will you come?”

I pursed my lips. Why was he pressing me? I wish I could give the suit to the building manager and asked him to give it to Evan; after all, he lived upstairs.

Ignoring him would be bad, and offending Evan would be detrimental. Perhaps I should go there to return the suit and see Seraphine?

I replied to Gary: Fine, what time works?

He quickly replied:8 PM.

After applying light makeup and changing, I went to my parents‘ place. The Ocean Rose thing had made me aware of the stalking. There was a suspicious car outside the villa for the past few days, which confirmed my guess.

While I was driving, Julian called.“Are you napping?”

Hah, he was trying to set me up.

I scoffed.“Nah. Going to my parents‘ place.”

“To deliver the suit?”

“…Yes.” I glanced at the suit in the passenger seat.

Hearing no lies, Julian hung up, but he told his man to keep watching Olivia.
