The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 295

The only reason the two men had kept their mouths shut for so long was because they knew they had already crossed Pierce. If they sold out Seraphina on top of that, they were dead men walking. But the second Ethan said he wouldn't protect them, sheer panic took over.

"Ethan, please! The Miss ordered us to do it! You have to save us!"

"It's true, Ethan! We were just following her orders!"

Ethan was a notorious figure in the underworld.

The moment Ethan declared he wouldn't cover for them, Seraphina knew it was all over. A bitter, self-deprecating smile touched her lips. He was supposed to be her brother, yet he tore down her alibi without a second thought.

Ethan ignored the mockery in her eyes, looking at her with profound disappointment. "Who gave you permission to involve yourself in this kind of filth?"

It was bad enough that he was the one carrying the family's dark sins. He had always thought she was just spoiled and arrogant in her love life. He never imagined she would cross the line into kidnapping.

Seraphina let out a cold, spiteful laugh, her eyes burning with resentment. "If I didn't do it, were you going to help me?"

Ethan pressed his lips into a hard line, silently staring her down.

She laughed again, but this time, tears welled up in her eyes. "You wouldn't, so what's wrong with me doing it myself?"

She whipped her head toward Pierce, glaring at him with pure, unadulterated hatred. "Don't look at me like that! This is all your fault! If you love Riley so much, why did you come to me? You ruined me, but you refused to take responsibility! Even after the divorce, you still cast me aside. Since she's so precious to you, I decided to destroy her!"

Her face twisted into something ugly and unhinged. Now that her secret was out, the madness completely took over.

Desperate to know the outcome, she stared wildly at the two bleeding men on the floor. "Did you ruin her?! Did you get the video?! Give it to me right now! I'm going to post it everywhere and make that bitch a complete laughingstock!"

"Mr. Landon, we swear to god we didn't touch her! Please have mercy!"

"Ethan, Vince is telling the truth! We didn't lay a finger on her, please, you have to save us!"

Suddenly, Beatrice's earlier betrayal flashed in her mind. If she was going down, there was no way in hell she was letting Beatrice walk away clean.

Summoning her last ounce of strength, she glared up at Pierce. "Your mother is the one who wanted Riley ruined! She came to me for help. I was just the accomplice! If you want answers, go interrogate your own mother!"

Pierce flinched, instinctively barking, "That's impossible!"

Seraphina tried to speak again, but the taste of blood suffocated her. Her vision blurred, and a second later, she passed out cold.

Pierce looked at Ethan. "I'm leaving these two in your hands. But this is far from over."

With that, he turned on his heel and stormed out of the estate. The moment he stepped outside, he snapped at Scott, "Look into it immediately. Find out if my mother had any part in this."

"Understood."
