Broken Vows and Buried Twins novel Chapter 244

Seraphina received Finn Thompson's call late that afternoon. By now, the plagiarism scandal had exploded across the internet. Seraphina had been locked inside for days, terrified of paparazzi ambushing her.

Finn's deep, raspy voice came through the speaker, laced with smugness. "It's done. I handled it for you."

Seraphina's heart leaped. She immediately put on her sweetest, most seductive voice. "Finn, you're amazing! I knew you were the only man in the world who truly cares about me."

"It was nothing," Finn laughed. "I was worried Clio's family would put up a fight, but it turns out her sister is mute. When I found her, she told me Clio passed away from an illness a year ago. She left the account and passwords in her will. The sister is mute, so she couldn't make videos anyway. The moment I offered a huge sum of cash, she handed everything over without a second thought."

"You're incredible, Finn," Seraphina beamed. "But... she might be mute, but she can still read. Are you absolutely sure the transfer contracts are airtight?"

"Don't worry, I was very careful. Besides, that mute girl has no family and no connections. What kind of waves could she possibly make? Plus, you're back in the country now. A little mute girl halfway across the world isn't going to pay attention to your local news."

That was true. The video platform was strictly domestic. That was exactly why she had been bold enough to lie to Bianca in the first place.

Seraphina finally relaxed.

"By the way, you promised you'd come back to visit me once things settled down. It's been months. When are you coming back?"

A flash of utter disgust crossed Seraphina's eyes. Finn was a useless, aging pervert. Every time she had to sleep with him, she felt sick and had to rely entirely on her acting skills. She much preferred the young, athletic men she found at the clubs... but those were just toys to cure her boredom.

Her ultimate prize was Julian.
