Marrying His Nemesis: Kicking My Scumbag Fiancé Away!-Chapter 111: How Can You Be So Despicable? (Part 1)
Chloe touched her neck, raised her hand to adjust her collar, neither admitting nor denying.
Seraphina stood not far away, the scene of Ethan Sterling and Chloe embracing flashed through her mind once again.
Her chest felt as if a large stone was pressing down on it, both stuffy and heavy.
Seraphina took a deep breath, trying to adjust her breathing.
"Come on, let’s continue with the rehearsal."
Chloe walked over with her violin, observing Seraphina’s expression, and smiled slightly.
All day long, Seraphina was busy rehearsing with everyone.
While others rested at noon, she gave Claire a separate session, guiding her in practicing violin.
When Claire started to play, she unconsciously drifted away in her thoughts.
When Claire finished one playthrough, she put down the bow.
"How was it this time?"
"Ah..." Seraphina snapped back, "I’m sorry, I just zoned out a bit."
"Seraphina," Claire walked over, supporting her arm, "are you too tired lately? I feel like you don’t look very well."
"I guess I’ve been practicing too much recently, haven’t been sleeping well," Seraphina smiled back at her, "come on, let’s continue."
Claire couldn’t bear to trouble her more for practice.
"Seraphina, shouldn’t you rest in the office for a while?"
"It’s okay, I can catch some sleep on the flight tonight. Let’s go!"
"Alright then."
Claire nodded and started playing again earnestly.
This time, Seraphina listened very attentively.
After she completed one round, Seraphina stood up and walked up to Claire.
"Actually you’re already excellent, what you lack most now is performance experience. Keep it up, I believe you can perform perfectly in this New Year’s concert."
Claire nodded with a smile, "I will definitely work hard, and not disappoint you, Seraphina."
At this time, the other musicians also returned, and everyone continued together until they finished after five in the afternoon, then left separately.
Claire actively helped Seraphina pack up her sheet music and handed it to her.
"Knowing that President Sterling will surely see you off, I won’t be a third wheel. Good luck, Seraphina!"
"Are you going home? I can give you a ride."
"I want to practice a bit more."
"Then be safe on your way home tonight."
Seraphina waved at her, carrying her violin and sheet music to the office, packed up her things, and opened the door to leave.
Outside the door, Chloe was standing there.
Seraphina froze, "Do you... need something?"
"Seraphina!" Chloe bit her lower lip, "I... I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Please come in!" Seraphina stepped aside to invite her into the office, "What’s the matter?"
"I..." Chloe lowered her face, "I want... to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" Seraphina was unsure what she meant, "What do you mean?"
"Last night, I... Ethan and I were together."
The fingers gripping Seraphina’s bag felt weak.
Even though she had already suspected it, hearing the other party say it so plainly felt different.
Taking a light breath, she tried hard to maintain her composure.
"You’re telling me this because you want to say what?"
"I... I just want to apologize to you, and please don’t blame Ethan, it wasn’t his fault, it was all me... it’s all my fault," it’s because I couldn’t control myself, you..." Chloe stepped forward, holding her arm, "can you forgive me?"
Forgive?
Seraphina suddenly lifted her arm, pulling back the hand Chloe had been gripping.
"If you were me, could you forgive your man for being with another woman?"
"I know it’s my fault, but..." Chloe lifted her face, "we were originally together, it was because of me, I was too willful before that Ethan got angry with me and we broke up, if going by who came first, then it should be me first."
"So..." Seraphina sneered, lifting her face, "you’re saying that I stole Ethan, is that it?"
"I... I didn’t mean it that way!" Chloe, eyes brimming with tears, shook her arm, "Seraphina, I beg you, can you give Ethan back to me?"
Give back?
Seraphina shook her head gently.
"I am Ethan’s wife, I am Mrs. Sterling, on what basis should I give him back to you?"
"But you two weren’t married out of love, your marriage with Ethan had motives."
"So what?"
"You..." Chloe was stunned, "how can you be so selfish?"
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "You have an affair with my husband, and yet you call me selfish?"
Chloe wiped the corner of her eyes with her hand, and when she lifted her face again, her tone was already cold.
"Have you ever thought, why Ethan had an affair, if he truly loved you, would he be with me?"
The other party’s words were like a sharp sword, stabbing into her chest.
Seraphina’s breathing hitched.
Exactly!
If Ethan truly loved her, how could he have an affair?
"I know you are with Ethan just to use him, if it’s money you want, I can give it to you, I can give you all of my money, just leave him, alright?"
Money?
Seraphina closed her eyes briefly, pulling out a faint smile.
"That’s right, I’m in it for the money, but unfortunately... your money isn’t more than Ethan’s!"
She brushed past Chloe and grabbed the doorknob.
"Wait!" Chloe turned around, "Seraphina, this is pointless, Ethan can never love you."
Seraphina’s fingers on the doorknob clenched tightly, and she turned to look at Chloe who wore an arrogant expression.
"If he truly loved you, why would he marry me?"
Without paying any more attention to Chloe, Seraphina yanked open the door.
Seeing Nathan standing outside the door, she paused for a moment, then turned and briskly walked away.
"Seraphina, stop right there, I’m not done talking..."
Chloe chased out, but upon seeing her brother in the hallway, she stopped guiltily.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"I heard from Ethan that you had a bad fall yesterday, I came specifically to pick you up." Nathan stared deeply into his sister’s face, "Last night, Ethan wasn’t with you at all, and you two have never dated, why did you lie to Seraphina?"
Gazing into Chloe’s face, Nathan gently shook his head.
"Chloe, how... how could you be so despicable?"
"I..." Chloe sniffled, "if you hate me so much, why don’t you just let me die?"
"Chloe!" Nathan took a step forward, holding her shoulders, "I know you like Ethan, but... you shouldn’t do it this way."
"You think I want this?" Chloe, tears in her eyes, lifted her face, "I just had no choice, if I don’t do this, I’ll lose Ethan forever. Love is selfish, brother, you knew I was lying just now, why didn’t you expose me, isn’t it because you also like Seraphina?"
"I..." Nathan frowned, "what nonsense are you saying, I don’t have those feelings for Seraphina."
"Then why are you helping her?"
"Because she is Caleb’s sister..."
When mentioning Caleb, Nathan thought of something, and placed his hands on Chloe’s shoulders.
"Tell me honestly, was it also you who sent photos to Caleb?"
