Ex-Mate Wants Me Back (Seraphina and Mortimer) novel Chapter 200

Chapter 200

Third Person’s POV

“This slap is just collecting a little bit of interest upfront for Dash.”

Seraphina tried her best to suppress her anger, but when she spoke, her voice still trembled uncontrollably.

“Now, you can run right over to your precious Mortimer and tattle on me.”

“You… you just wait! Mortimer will absolutely not let you get away with this!” Dropping this bluff, Vivian grabbed her bag, scrambled clumsily to her feet, and ran off.

As soon as Vivian was gone, Seraphina’s perfectly straight back instantly slumped. She stood frozen in place, trembling violently.

“Sera.”

Trista had arrived at the clinic door at some point and called out to her softly, her voice full of concern.

Seraphina slowly raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears.

She slowly uncurled her fists, only then realizing she had squeezed so hard to control her emotions that her fingertips had gone

numb.

“I put my trust in the wrong person again, didn’t I?”

She tried to say this lightly, but the moment she spoke, her broken voice trembled entirely. “Tell me… how could I be so stupid? Just because he treated Dash a little nicely, I felt perfectly comfortable leaving Dash in his care.”

She forced a bitter smile, but the tears finally slipped from her eyes and smashed onto the floor. 1

Trista softly comforted her, “This was never your fault. Mortimer is just too good at pretending.”

When she came to find Seraphina earlier, she had happened to hear Vivian’s smug, arrogant shrieking in the hallway.

They both knew beforehand that massive capital was behind scrubbing the tracks of the people who had hurt Dash.

But who could have imagined that the person mobilizing top-tier power and connections to suppress the internet trending topics-all to cover up Lillian’s vicious acts-was actually Mortimer?

Seraphina let Trista hold her, remaining silent for a long time.

After her emotions gradually leveled out, the tears vanished from her eyes, and she reverted to her usual cold, detached demeanor.

Seeing her calmly turn and walk toward the other end of the hallway, Trista followed her worriedly. “Sera, where are you going?

“The security monitoring room.”

Previously, all she had on hand was a blurry dashcam video gathered from the street outside, which couldn’t directly convict the Davis couple.

But just now, inside the healing center, Vivian had personally confessed that Lillian was the one who threw Dash into the sewer. All that audio and video had been recorded in high definition by the security system here.

Although Dash was a stray she had picked up, legally, a pet’s valuation wasn’t just its purchase price. It also included all the expenses incurred during its upbringing-medical bills, food, toys, and so on.

The medical bills she had spent on Dash alone had already reached the criminal threshold for property damage.

And because the Graig Corporation’s PR department had previously publicized Dash’s identity, the puppy was now somewhat famous online, meaning his commercial value would also be factored in.

“I’m going to sue Lillian. Seraphina’s expression was dark, her eyes glinting with a freezing, ruthless light. 1

Trista had known Seraphina for years, and this was the first time she had ever seen such a fierce look on her face.

It was obvious she was truly furious.

“I’ll be with you.”

After getting the surveillance footage from the security department, Seraphina went straight to the traffic management bureau.

Actually, it wasn’t hard to investigate who had thrown Dash into the sewer that day.

But the video had been taken down so quickly back then that Seraphina felt the traffic management bureau wouldn’t risk offending such powerful people over a dog.

So previously, no matter how much it hurt, she could only grit her teeth and swallow the injustice.

But now that she knew it was Mortimer’s doing, things were different. Right now, she was still Luna Seraphina, so she would leverage this identity and go head-to-head with Mortimer just to see what happened.

She wanted to see if he would really be willing to let news of “Alpha Mortimer backs his old flame’s family, turning against his legitimate wife” spread across the entire city.

The video of Dash being thrown into the sewer had already triggered public outrage. For the sake of the Craig Corporation’s stock prices, Mortimer hadn’t even protected Vivian herself. Would he really protect Lillian?

Seraphina had thought about it a lot, and she was betting that Mortimer couldn’t bear to let the Craig Corporation fall into a

massive PR crisis.

Because of the previous trending topics, many people knew she was Mortimer’s wife.
