Hayden Crawford knew that his mother-in-law was about to embark on an earth-shattering task.
Seraphina Linden held her phone, smiling charmingly at the man on the other end of the line, "Mr. Rathborne, it’s , I’m playing a game of Truth or Dare, and Miss Sawyer here dared me to call my first man, so, I could only call you."
The room drew a collective breath, everyone was stunned as they glanced at Seraphina and then at Julian Rathborne, they? Them!
Meggie Sawyer and Kate Lee felt as if they had been struck by thunder, they had planned to use this game of Truth or Dare to make Seraphina embarrassed, but now Seraphina had directly dialed Julian Rathborne, it turned out... Julian Rathborne was really her first man!
At this moment, Meggie felt a sharp and cold gaze land on her, she looked up quickly, meeting Julian Rathborne’s phoenix eyes.
Julian Rathborne glanced at her briefly, then quickly looked away.
Meggie felt a chill run down her spine, like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, only then did she realize she seemed to have offended Julian Rathborne.
Meggie’s legs went weak, she quickly looked at Seraphina, who was still charmingly seated on her chair, her lively and playful eyes also looking at her, but there was a few traces of sharpness in her gaze, making one afraid.
Meggie understood now, Seraphina had seen through her scheme from the start, she was simply going along with the ploy. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novelFirｅ.net
It wasn’t her who was playing Seraphina, but Seraphina was playing her.
Seeing Meggie’s ashen face, a cold and captivating arc formed at the corner of Seraphina Linden’s lips, she had said so, she was very skilled at playing games.
Over two decades in the City of Aethelgard, she had leveled up and battled monsters, seen all kinds of demons and ghosts, Meggie was at most an insignificant little demon.
At this point, Julian Rathborne’s deep and magnetic voice came through the phone, "You’re calling me just for this? I’m your first man, so you’re boasting?"
"..." Seraphina Linden had witnessed Julian Rathborne’s arrogance, after all, not any man would easily say things like "You want to sleep with me? Not a chance."
Seraphina lifted her lively eyes to look at Julian Rathborne in front, their gazes collided, she smiled, "Mr. Rathborne, you speak as if you’re my first man, and I’m not your first woman, to break Mr. Rathborne’s virginity, of course, it’s worth boasting!"
The whole room was shocked, their mouths agape, what had they just heard? Could it be auditory hallucinations?
Everyone knew that Julian Rathborne, Aethelgard’s son, was not close to women, yet now inexplicably a woman claims she took his virginity, this... is this even human speech?
Riley Sutton stood quietly nearby, he had just informed their big boss about the Truth or Dare game, with the boss’s intellect, it wasn’t hard to guess that Seraphina dug a pit for him to fall into, yet the boss still connected the call.
This only showed that one dug the pit, the other willingly jumped; the boss was happy to pamper this woman named Seraphina Linden.
Julian Rathborne thought Seraphina really dared to say anything, he didn’t show any emotional fluctuations but directly hung up the phone and turned to leave.
Seraphina Linden truly made a name for herself, she plastered the label "took Julian Rathborne’s virginity" on herself, flaunting it everywhere.
Walking through the corridor, Seraphina saw two familiar faces ahead, Kate Lee and Meggie Sawyer.
Now Kate’s eyes were red, clearly she had been crying, while Meggie glared at her resentfully, probably wishing to kill her with her gaze.
"Seraphina Linden, you did it on purpose, your scheming is too deep, how could Mr. Rathborne fancy a woman like you?" Meggie tugged her fist and voiced.
Seraphina stepped forward two steps, arriving in front of Meggie, she lazily tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Mr. Rathborne shouldn’t fancy me, then who should he fancy, you?"
Kate’s sad expression paused, surprised, she looked up at Meggie.
Meggie’s face changed, "Seraphina Linden, what nonsense are you saying? It’s Kiki who likes Mr. Rathborne, Kiki is my best friend!"
"Yes, it’s your best friend who likes Mr. Rathborne, how could you like a man your best friend likes? It’s something I’m also curious about." Seraphina laughed.
"Kiki, don’t listen to her nonsense, she’s sowing discord..."
"Is that so?" Seraphina directly interrupted Meggie, her lively and compelling eyes stared straight at Meggie, leaving her no place to hide, "Julian Rathborne is a very charming man, clearly attracts female attention, Kiki had a crush on Julian Rathborne when she came of age, but at the same time, the person who had a crush, must have been you, Meggie too."
"However, the Lee family is aristocratic, while the Sawyer family’s conditions are not as good, so Meggie you also have self-awareness, knowing Julian Rathborne is a dream beyond your reach, so you obeyed family arrangements and married a wealthy man, unfortunately, your husband likes gambling and often beats you, your marriage is terribly unhappy."
"Now Kate was favored by Old Mrs. Rathborne for a blind date with Julian Rathborne, and upon hearing the news, your good friend returned immediately by private jet, only you know what you’re truly thinking."
"You’re so indignantly seeking me, truly standing up for your good friend, or is it because you yourself are envious and resentful? Your feelings for your good friend must be very complicated, on one hand you don’t want your good friend to end up with Julian Rathborne, on the other hand you hope your good friend succeeds in dating Julian Rathborne, then proximity could allow you a chance too."
"Heh, considering this, you really have deep feelings for Julian Rathborne."
Seraphina slowly laid out these words, casually yet terrifyingly, Kate and Meggie froze.
Meggie’s face turned as pale as paper, a storm raged in her heart, she didn’t know how Seraphina knew all of this.
Suddenly, Meggie felt Seraphina was too frightening, she regretted provoking such a powerful adversary.
Kate looked at Meggie in shock, if not for Seraphina revealing these matters, she would never believe in guarding against friends, "Meggie, I truly regarded you as a sister, yet you treat me ?"
Kate questioned Meggie.
Meggie instantly panicked, as the Sawyer family relied heavily on the Lee family’s businesses, she hurriedly explained, "Kiki, let me explain..."
Seraphina had no interest in hearing this, she turned to leave.
But as she turned, she saw a tall and straight figure ahead, Julian Rathborne had arrived.
