CHAPTER 921: CHAPTER 921: A PERFECT MATCH (PART 1)

Julian Rathborne came to Seraphina Linden’s side, his tall and distinguished figure immediately protecting her behind him. He asked in a low voice, "Seraphina, are you alright?"

Seraphina Linden calmly shook her head, "I’m fine, I’m fine."

The new girl hadn’t been with Sean Dawson for long, so she didn’t recognize Seraphina Linden, but she immediately recognized Julian Rathborne. Her eyes quickly lit up, as if the whole world had been illuminated.

Wow.

At this moment, Julian Rathborne’s cold and sharp gaze fell on the new girl’s face, and he pressed his lips, speaking in a deep voice, "Who gave you the courage to cause trouble here? Someone, take her out!"

The new girl’s heart sank; she hadn’t expected that Julian Rathborne would also protect this maid, Seraphina Linden.

Just now, seeing Seraphina Linden, she was already jealous of her fox-like face. It seemed that this face had already enchanted the world’s richest man.

The new girl immediately said, "Mr.... Mr. Rathborne, you mustn’t be deceived by this woman. She’s good at seducing men!"

The onlookers all looked at the new girl as if she were crazy, insulting Mrs. Rathborne?

Someone said, "Why don’t you tell us, who exactly did Miss Linden seduce?"

The new girl confidently responded, "She seduced my man, Sean Dawson!"

Hmph~

The crowd couldn’t help but laugh, "Are you talking about President Dawson, the one with dark circles?"

The new girl realized something was wrong, as if everyone was mocking her and not believing her story.

The new girl immediately got anxious, "I’m telling the truth, Seraphina Linden used to be a maid bought by the Dawson family."

Julian Rathborne’s handsome brows furrowed, a cold shadow clouding his face. He wouldn’t allow anyone to discuss Seraphina Linden’s past recklessly.

He wanted the new girl to disappear on the spot.

But then he was shocked by what the new girl said next. She said, "When Seraphina Linden was working as a maid at the Dawson family, Sean didn’t even look at her, let alone touch her. He never even held her hand."

What?

Julian Rathborne’s ears buzzed, and he froze in place.

That day in the luxurious private room, Sean praised Seraphina Linden’s skills to his face, but now this new girl was telling him Sean never even touched Seraphina Linden?

"I’m speaking the truth, Sean himself told me this!" The new girl, afraid no one would believe her, nodded confidently.

Julian Rathborne’s heart was in turmoil. Everywhere he turned, there were voices telling him that nothing had happened between Seraphina Linden and Sean!

Julian Rathborne wished he could hold Seraphina Linden tightly in his arms right now, but he restrained himself. There’d be enough opportunities during the wedding night. Right now, he had to deal with those who bullied his wife.

Julian Rathborne looked at the new girl, casually pursing his lips, "Do you think with me around, Seraphina would be interested in someone like Sean? Even if she were to seduce someone, it would be me."

Saying this, Julian Rathborne wrapped an arm around Seraphina Linden’s waist, asserting his dominance.

The new girl stiffened, "Mr. Rathborne, don’t let Seraphina Linden’s fox-like face fool you, she’s not a good person."

Julian Rathborne slowly narrowed his phoenix-like eyes, "Are you sure you want to talk about my wife like that?"

"..." The new girl’s face changed drastically, freezing on the spot.

She incredulously looked at Julian Rathborne and then at Seraphina Linden. His... his wife?

The new girl suddenly recalled today’s grand wedding; Julian Rathborne was getting married. So... Seraphina Linden was Mrs. Rathborne?

Oh my God!

At this moment, Sean Dawson rushed over, already knowing his new girl had caused trouble. With cold sweat streaming down his forehead, he raised his hand and slapped the new girl across the face, scolding, "This is Mrs. Rathborne, are you tired of living? Planning to borrow another five hundred years to defy Mrs. Rathborne?"

The new girl was slapped to the ground. She realized she’d made a huge mistake, so she clutched her reddened face, pleading with Seraphina Linden, "Mrs.... Mrs. Rathborne, it was my fault, I didn’t know better, please... forgive me this once, sob sob..."

Julian Rathborne wanted to speak, but Seraphina Linden tugged at his sleeve and generously said, "Forget it, she doesn’t know me, let’s not hold it against her."

Sean Dawson’s eyes lit up, looking at Seraphina Linden in disbelief. This intimidating woman who’s always been vengeful was being so generous today?

Could it be that becoming Mrs. Rathborne, the world’s richest, has changed her?

Just then, Seraphina Linden playfully blinked at Sean Dawson, "But President Dawson, it’s time you returned the money you owe me."

Sean Dawson, "..."

Oh no, the debt collector is here!

Seraphina Linden is still Seraphina Linden. Gracious in nature, unfazed by insults, but it’s all about the money.

...

This trivial episode didn’t affect anything, the wedding proceeded smoothly.

However, Julian Rathborne was quite impatient. He privately leaned toward his son-in-law, Hayden Crawford, "Hayden, I’ll leave this place to you, help me drink a few more drinks."

Hayden Crawford, pretending not to understand, asked, "Dad, where are you rushing off to?"

Julian Rathborne gave Hayden Crawford a look, the meaning clear: who’s the dad here, you or me?

Then Julian Rathborne turned and walked away.

At this moment, Serena came over, "Mr. Crawford, where did my dad go?"

Hayden Crawford picked up yet another drink for the evening, thinking that he’s drinking more tonight than he did at his own wedding, "Dad’s in a hurry to get to the wedding chamber!"

...

Julian Rathborne couldn’t wait to get into the villa. He asked a maid, "Where’s madam?"

"Sir, madam is in the bridal room."

"Understood." Julian Rathborne swiftly took the stairs, pushed open the door to the bridal room.

Inside, Seraphina Linden, still in her wedding dress, sat cross-legged on the bridal bed surrounded by many things, representing the assets he’d handed over. The Rathborne Group’s empire stretched worldwide, spanning various industries, making Julian Rathborne’s assets countless.

Seraphina Linden was so busy she hadn’t even taken off her wedding dress, her slender fingers tapping rapidly on an abacus, writing and drawing with a pen, utterly focused.

Julian Rathborne took a look, she was doing the books, and doing them well.

"My dear," Julian Rathborne sat beside her, "Why not busy yourself tomorrow."

Seraphina Linden didn’t look up as she refused, "No, tomorrow has its own tasks, today’s must be completed today."

Julian Rathborne arched a heroic brow, "My dear, don’t you have more important duties tonight, you forgot the main task?"

Seraphina Linden finally looked up, confusedly gazing at Julian Rathborne’s handsome face, "You mean?"

Julian Rathborne brought out a treasure box, presenting it to Seraphina Linden like a treasure, "Seraphina, my dear, tonight... don’t you want to count the red packets?"
