Chapter 191 No Escape for Her
5 Pearls
[Netizen D: Drugging him? She was going after Mr. Cross? That’s so messed up. Everyone knows he’s with Stella, and she still tried to drug him.]
[Netizen E: That guy from Veyra has no taste at all. How could he go for someone who’d even mistreat a dog? I can’t ship them at all.]
[Netizen F: I don’t like Sienna either, but I feel bad for her. Seraphina really ruined her.]
[Netizen G: She brought it on herself. No one to blame but her.]
The story spread like wildfire and took over every social media platform.
Seraphina was roasted all over the trending lists.
Many people at the gallery already knew the story but had kept it polite. Now that it was exposed, memories of the birthday banquet rushed back.
“Elias, we’ve known each other since we were kids. You released this video just to humiliate me?” Seraphina cried, her eyes wet as she looked at him.
‘Do you have any proof?” Elias‘ voice was cold, sharp as a devil from the dark.
‘It happened at the Cross Manor. Who else but you?”
“There were dozens of people that night. How can you accuse my man without proof? Miss Thorne, false accusations are against the law.” Stella would not tolerate such baseless attacks.
‘Stella! It was you, wasn’t it?!”
Seraphina could not accept it. The whole world now knew about her shameful acts with Lulu and Sienna.
It would reach Veyra soon, and she would be completely disgraced.
“Control your woman. I don’t make a habit of holding back against women.” Elias stepped in front of Stella, shielding her completely.
“Who else could it be? This wasn’t supposed to be the video shown.”
Stella let out a cold laugh. “What was supposed to be shown?”
“It was supposed to be you with multiple men-
Crack!
Before she could finish, Nolan tried to clap a hand over her mouth.
But he was too late. Elias lashed out with a kick, sending him stumbling aside
“Missed the mark.” Elias straightened his suit jacket, his lips thin. You can’t control your woman. Don’t blame me for teaching her a lesson.”
9:39 am P Ppp.

Nolan ground his back teeth, wiped blood from his lips with a pale knuckle, and glared at him. “Elias Cross.”
“Nolan, they’re going too far.” Seraphina clung to his arm, sobbing, growing more panicked by the second.
She’d lost her temper and said something she shouldn’t have.
With all the noise, she prayed no one had heard.
“Master Inkblot, I paid you to attend my fiancée’s exhibition, not to bring someone to ruin it.”
Stella checked her phone, then looked at him innocently. “Mr. Lane, I clocked out three minutes ago. And I don’t work overtime. So my man didn’t act during my working hours. Besides, your woman insulted me. Am I just supposed to take it? I’m not a masochist.”
Each time she said “my man,” Elias‘ eyes softened with satisfaction.
Nolan had no idea why, but those words felt like knives stabbing his chest, sharp and painful.
“She’s right. Miss Thorne started this. Stella has been more than patient.”
“No proof, no right to accuse Mr. Cross and Stella.”
“Yeah, if she suspects them, she should call the police. Insulting Stella like that? Who does she think she is?”
“After all this time, I still feel bad for Mr. Cross‘ dog. They had to get a pet therapist, and it’s still recovering.”
“That’s horrible!”
Seraphina felt everyone’s eyes on her and cried harder.
“Miss Thorne, tears don’t make you right.”
Seraphina dared not lift her head, pressing it tightly against Nolan’s chest.
“You just said the video today was supposed to be me with other men. How would you know that for sure?
I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Nolan held her firmly against him. “Stella, get out of here.”
