Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 153

"Ah!"

Seraphina stumbled back, entirely stunned. She clutched her stinging right cheek, whipping her head around to glare fiercely at her attacker.

But the moment she registered the woman's impeccably groomed face, all the fury died in her throat.

"Madam..."

Isabella Gates let out a cold scoff. Radiating aristocratic authority, she looked at Seraphina as if she were inspecting a piece of repulsive trash.

"Seraphina, did you conveniently forget our last conversation? How dare you continue to linger around Julian and stir up trouble."

Seraphina shrank under the harsh reprimand, all the color draining from her face. She didn't dare utter a single syllable.

Just looking at her pathetic demeanor made Isabella's blood boil. How could anyone be this shameless? She raised her hand and delivered another resounding slap.

"You have crossed the line this time. Starting today, you and your mother are out of the estate. Unless it is an absolute emergency, do not even think about stepping foot on the property."

Kicked out of the estate.

To the outside world, that was the equivalent of being officially disowned by the Lowell family.

It was a massive scandal.

Once word got out, their entire social circle would mercilessly mock her and her mother.

Seraphina's eyes widened in sheer panic, staring at Isabella in disbelief. How could she be so ruthless? "Madam, please, don't do this. I made a mistake, but don't punish my mother for my actions..."

Isabella remained haughty and unmoved, completely indifferent to her distress. She turned and walked away, her departure screaming of an untouchable, elite status.

Seraphina watched her go. Against her pale skin, the red mark on her cheek was glaringly obvious. A desperate, tragic resolve settled over her.

They had backed her into a corner. They had forced her hand.

...

Meanwhile.

Clara walked down the street, feeling significantly lighter. Hitting rock bottom with her disappointment had surprisingly brought a sense of freedom.

She was just about to hail a cab.

When she caught sight of a familiar figure approaching her from the corner of her eye.
