Julian Weston took one look at the photo, his handsome face stiffening for a fraction of a second before he immediately averted his eyes.

"Hester, you need to set a limit to your nonsense. Is this a picture I should be looking at?"

"If you hadn't come back to shower, you'd be looking at the real thing right now!"

Julian frowned, his brow creasing. "What did you say?"

"Isn't it obvious? Seraphina thought you were in the study, so she dressed like this specifically to bring you honey water!"

Julian's face darkened. He wanted to say it was impossible, but the photographic evidence was right in front of him. He couldn't refute it.

Hester looked at him, her eyes filled with undisguised gloating.

Julian pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'll have her leave tomorrow. This ends here."

"Oh, don't. Seraphina worked so hard to move in, and her goal hasn't even been achieved yet. She'll be heartbroken if you kick her out now."

"Hester, shut up!" Julian snapped coldly. "I said, this ends here."

Hester stared at him. After a few seconds, she put her phone away with a faint smirk. "Fine, I won't say anything. As long as you and Seraphina are happy."

She turned around. "I'm tired. Go back to the study. Who knows, maybe Seraphina will throw herself into your arms crying in the middle of the night."

Julian stood up abruptly, his dark eyes locked on her.

"So this is your goal? You always thought she was into me, so you suddenly changed your attitude, let Caden bring her over, and even let her move in. Exposing Melody's affair didn't work, so now you're targeting Seraphina?"

He strode toward her, his voice tight with anger. "Hester, I'm truly amazed by the lengths you'll go to force a divorce!"

Hester paused as she pulled back the covers.

She looked up at his furious face and let out a cold scoff.

"You sound so innocent. You're the one with zero boundaries, giving Seraphina chance after chance to cross the line. How is this my fault? I was just tactful enough not to expose you directly. What, didn't you always tell me to stop making a fuss? Now I'm not making a fuss. I'm turning a blind eye, and I'm even ready to step aside for her at a moment's notice. Shouldn't you be thrilled?"
