Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 258: I Know Him
"I tried, I also tried to love someone without caring about anything, regardless of background, regardless of wealth, but it’s really painful. We are people from two different worlds, we have no future! Even without Young Master Finn, he and I wouldn’t last long."
"..."
"I found someone to get him a fake ID, but we both know it’s fake. We could never live like a normal couple. He’s a fugitive from Veridian Isle, he can’t give me a proper future. Even if I just want to live a simple life, I’m afraid that one day the police will rush in and take him away while we’re sleeping."
Melody Lockwood cried out.
Seraphina Redgrave still gripped her neck, silent.
"What about you? Can you offer a future to someone else?" Melody Lockwood started coughing as the grip tightened around her neck, but she insisted on speaking, "You can’t, Seraphina, you must know that, people like you can’t promise a future to others, it only brings darkness."
These words struck Seraphina Redgrave’s heart bit by bit. She never felt ashamed of her identity; people from Veridian Isle aren’t inherently inferior.
But when she felt Melody Lockwood’s tears fall on the back of her hand, they were so hot that she involuntarily shivered.
Seraphina Redgrave was in a daze, standing there mindlessly.
"Bang!" Melody Lockwood finally broke free from her control, but it was Ethan Sterling who kicked her away.
Seraphina Redgrave came back to her senses.
Ethan Sterling sat there, his amber eyes fixed on her.
"Have you vented enough? Then I’ll take care of these two."
Melody Lockwood knows Seraphina Redgrave’s identity now and can’t be left.
"Okay." Seraphina Redgrave didn’t refuse.
She then picked up the shattered bottle from the floor, looking at Melody Lockwood.
Melody Lockwood trembled all over, afraid that her life would end here. She desperately retreated but still couldn’t escape.
She closed her eyes in despair, hoping death would come swiftly, but she didn’t feel the bottle stab into her heart or neck.
"Ah!"
Melody Lockwood held her face in disbelief, feeling something wet and sticky.
Just now, Seraphina Redgrave lifted the bottle and left a blood mark on Melody Lockwood’s cheek.
This was a mercy to her.
"..."
Seeing this, Claire Ford unconsciously leaned towards Beatrice Fawcett.
Seraphina was being particularly ruthless today.
Seraphina Redgrave disdainfully tossed aside the bottle in her hand, then stood up and seriously said to Ethan Sterling, "Then please help me restrain them."
Since Zachary Zane didn’t want Melody Lockwood dead, she had no need to kill her. As for Young Master Finn, she would deal with him properly after she truly rebuilt Veridian Isle.
Ethan Sterling understood her thoughts and merely nodded, then gestured to the guards to clean up the mess.
Two strong guards lifted them like they were little chicks and took them out.
The bar fell into complete silence.
Ronan Yates was pushed out by Rory and the others, looking troubled, and in the end, he pushed Beatrice Fawcett forward.
Beatrice Fawcett wasn’t prepared and stumbled into Seraphina Redgrave, frightened, she quickly retreated, awkwardly brushing her hair back.
"Seraphina."
"Hmm." Seraphina Redgrave replied indifferently, "Is there something you want to ask?"
"Yes, yes, Seraphina, do you know that fugitive from Veridian Isle?"
Beatrice Fawcett and the others were smart, they had already figured out Seraphina Redgrave was avenging the fugitive from Veridian Isle.
But, Seraphina’s connection to Veridian Isle didn’t make sense.
"Hmm." Seraphina Redgrave answered openly.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock, exchanging looks, when did Seraphina know someone from Veridian Isle? What exactly was their relationship? Everyone was scratching their heads in anxiety.
"Time to go back."
Ethan Sterling decisively stood up from the sofa, holding Seraphina Redgrave’s hand tightly, leading her to the door.
"Boom!" A loud sound erupted from outside the door, making Ethan Sterling pause.
The events of the night had been one thrill after another for Ronan Yates, who hurried towards the noise to see what had happened.
Ethan Sterling reacted as well, pulling Seraphina Redgrave towards the outside.
Outside the bar, smoke filled the air, the pungent smell stinging the eyes shut.
The two guards from earlier rushed over to explain the situation, "Young Master Sterling, Miss, we failed in our task, the people were taken away, it seems the Finn Family got word and came to the rescue, they can’t have gotten far, we’ll go after them immediately!"
Earlier, with just the two of them, they were outnumbered, the remaining bodyguards were inside the bar, taking advantage of the vulnerability.
However, the Finn Family couldn’t have imagined that Ethan Sterling was the one who had taken them. In Z Country, nothing could escape Ethan Sterling’s grasp.
"Useless! You must bring them back today." Ethan Sterling ordered.
The smoke gradually cleared, and Ronan Yates and the others planned to ask Seraphina Redgrave what had happened, but before they could call out to anyone, Ethan Sterling had already put Seraphina Redgrave into the car.
The car hadn’t been driving for long before Ethan Sterling stopped it again, making Seraphina Redgrave puzzled.
"Let’s take a walk."
Ethan Sterling stopped by the road, bent over with his back to Seraphina Redgrave, signaling her to hop on.
After she got on Ethan Sterling’s back, he walked steadily forward, giving her a sense of security.
Seraphina Redgrave lay on his back, not speaking, her beautiful eyes calmly watching the road ahead.
There were few pedestrians or cars on this road, perhaps because of this, the streetlights were dim.
Uncertain whether the road ahead led to another intersection or a dead end.
"Don’t take that woman’s words to heart." Ethan Sterling’s magnetic voice was especially alluring in this open space.
Seraphina Redgrave withdrew her gaze, sensing Ethan Sterling was about to console her again, she smiled and said, "It’s okay, I don’t care at all, my goals are clear now, not revealing my identity to Ronan Yates and the others is to avoid disrupting my plans, it’s better to wait until the time is right."
Rebuilding Veridian Isle has to be a step-by-step process, it was never about giving The Defiance Society a future or not.
Upon realizing what Seraphina Redgrave was saying, Ethan Sterling stopped abruptly, gritting his teeth, "I’m worried about you right now, but you’re concerned about others."
Seraphina Redgrave was used to Ethan Sterling’s sudden jealousy, so she didn’t argue with him, "That’s because I know that even if it’s revealed I’m from Veridian Isle, it won’t affect you."
Ronan Yates and the others couldn’t compare to Ethan Sterling, who possessed outstanding power and was the most distinguished man in Z Country. Her identity wasn’t enough to impact him.
