CHAPTER 107: CHAPTER 107: RUINED AND DISGRACED

He even wondered why he was so blind in the past to have married such a woman into the family.

"No, it’s not what you think; someone set me up!"

"Enough, stop blaming others for every mistake. Even if someone framed you, no one forced you to gamble. All of this is just your own doing!"

Ethan Lloyd knew better than anyone what kind of person Melanie Lloyd was. She simply couldn’t quit gambling, which led to all these issues!

Melanie Lloyd was frightened by his words and was stunned for a while before speaking: "I really know I was wrong this time. Please, forgive me one more time..."

"Melanie Lloyd, I’m in no mood to chat with you. You can go wherever you like; just don’t come back to this house for now!"

Ultimately, the Lloyd Family’s property belonged to Ethan Lloyd; although Melanie Lloyd lived there, she was never the mistress.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan Lloyd immediately went upstairs, ignoring Melanie Lloyd’s pleas.

If Melanie Lloyd’s gambling was just the precursor for the event to escalate, then Irene Rowe’s online publication of the evidence against Seraphina Sinclair was the fatal blow to the Lloyd Group.

To achieve the best result, Seraphina also specifically had Irene choose the best timing to publish; that was the moment when Melanie Lloyd’s gambling hot topic was suppressed.

Ethan Lloyd exerted great effort and spent nearly millions to suppress all the trending topics and news about Melanie Lloyd, hoping to restore peace. Unexpectedly, Seraphina prepared a heavy blow for him.

When Ethan Lloyd saw the so-called evidence about the Lloyd Group’s scandal online, he immediately thought of Seraphina.

Since the news appeared, numerous calls from the company came in, indicating that many partners were withdrawing investments, and stocks had already hit the bottom.

In this current situation, it was evidently a lethal hit to the company. If Ethan Lloyd did not handle it, things could escalate further.

Helpless, Ethan Lloyd called Seraphina Sinclair, hoping to negotiate a deal with this woman on how to spare the Lloyd Group.

Initially, Seraphina indeed readily agreed with Ethan Lloyd and told him to come to the Kevin Group to find her in the morning.

Ethan Lloyd certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity; after hanging up the call, he directly went to the Kevin Group, eager to meet Seraphina personally.

But he did not anticipate that from the moment Seraphina agreed to see him, Ethan Lloyd had already fallen into the trap she meticulously set for him.

"Sorry, President Lloyd, our President Sinclair is currently in an international meeting and doesn’t have time to see you. Please wait in the reception room."

Upon arrival, Ethan Lloyd was arranged by Irene Rowe to the reception room under the pretense of Seraphina meeting, making him wait there for five hours.

In order not to miss seeing Seraphina, Ethan Lloyd even skipped lunch, sitting in the reception hall unwillingly.

Seeing that it was already two o’clock in the afternoon, Ethan Lloyd indeed couldn’t withstand anymore, he actively found Irene and angrily asked about Seraphina.

But Ethan Lloyd didn’t expect Irene to give him a completely collapsing response:

"Ah, President Lloyd, really sorry, I forgot all about you. Our boss finished the meeting long ago; I’ll arrange for you to go in now."

As Irene finished speaking, Ethan Lloyd already understood the situation. It turns out Seraphina’s so-called agreement was just a ploy to torment him and provoke his dignity.

Maybe she didn’t even hold any international meeting! It was all a show from start to finish.

"No problem, as long as I can see President Sinclair today." Despite Ethan Lloyd’s anger, at this point, apart from enduring, he had no other choice.

Soon, under Irene’s arrangement, Ethan Lloyd finally got to see Seraphina.

At this moment, she was leisurely brewing tea in the office.

"Didn’t I tell you to come in the morning? Why are you arriving just now?"

As she spoke, Seraphina did not stop her actions, ready to brew tea with hot water.

"You can’t blame me; it’s you, President Sinclair, busy with meetings the whole morning and had no time to see me."

Although Ethan Lloyd knew Seraphina was pretending, he couldn’t reveal it, so he could only tolerate it temporarily.

For Ethan Lloyd, at this moment, his heart was filled with insult. He never thought that the world truly spins, the woman who used to be at his disposal has now completely turned the tables, standing above him!

"Alright, let’s not talk off-topic; you’re so eager to find me, what do you want to discuss?"

Before asking, Seraphina was already aware of his intention, but she didn’t say it, just wanting to see Ethan Lloyd’s defeated look.

After hearing Seraphina’s words, Ethan Lloyd no longer concealed, directly showing the recent trending topics on his phone, then softly spoke: "These were spread by your people, right?"

Though Seraphina was unwilling, she still pretended to take the phone, casually swiping twice.

"Oh, you mean this? Yes, I spread them. So what?"

Ethan Lloyd indeed didn’t expect Seraphina to confess so straightforwardly to her deeds.

At that moment, his face instantly changed, immediately angrily saying: "You! Seraphina Sinclair, why have you become so vicious?"

"Vicious? Ethan Lloyd, I think you’re really sick. You don’t know why I’ve become like this today?"

After hearing Ethan Lloyd’s words, Seraphina chuckled, still calmly composed.

The reason she became like this today was undoubtedly largely due to Ethan Lloyd and his wife. If not for their disgusting actions back then, perhaps Seraphina would still be carefree, a wealthy heiress.

But the past cannot be changed, and the hate in Seraphina’s heart is only getting more intense.

Ethan Lloyd admitted, he was indeed shocked by Seraphina’s gaze. But for the Lloyd Group, he must yield.

"Seraphina, everything that happened back then was all my fault, will you forgive me? I know, you can’t let go of the past because you still love me, I’m willing to start anew with you—"

"Enough! Ethan Lloyd, can you stop disgusting me? Do you think someone like you could appeal to me now? Let me tell you, I not only won’t delete those online evidences, but I will also continue to reveal more until you, Ethan Lloyd, are completely ruined!"

Seraphina’s words were aggressively attacking, finally igniting the fury within Ethan Lloyd.

He clenched his fists tightly and fiercely stared at the woman in front of him, then waved a big hand, intending to slap Seraphina.

"Ethan Lloyd, if you dare to touch a hair on her today, I guarantee you won’t walk out of this office today!"

Just as Ethan Lloyd attempted to hit Seraphina, the door to her office suddenly swung open.
