Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 257

Sylvia Shaw brought over a glass of water and, seeing her daughter's expression, asked worriedly, "What happened? What did Julian say?"

Seraphina choked back a sob, setting her phone aside. Closing her eyes, she said, "He didn't say anything!"

"What?!" The glass slipped from Sylvia's grasp and shattered on the floor. Ignoring the mess, she panicked, "What do we do now? You've prepared for this competition for so long. Is it all just going to go to waste?"

"Damn it, that Clara is such a wretched bitch! Hiding her true colors so well!"

She cursed furiously, then, remembering her daughter's current predicament, her anxiety returned. Stepping closer, she grabbed Seraphina's hand.

"Sera, doesn't Julian adore you? Why isn't he helping this time? Maybe you should call him again."

Seraphina opened her eyes in a daze. Just as she was about to speak, her gaze fell on the shattered glass and spilled water on the floor, and she paused.

It felt entirely too symbolic of how Julian had cast her aside...

In truth, when Julian had returned to sit with her earlier, he had been entirely distracted. He kept checking his phone and urging the nurses to finish her IV drip, clearly anxious to leave.

He had never acted like that before.

She knew he had been rushing off to find Clara.

Sylvia paced anxiously beside her. "What are we going to do? Sera, say something!"

Snapping out of her daze, Seraphina forced a pale, bitter smile. "I'll try again."

If that didn't work, she'd have to resort to... burning it all down.

Because there was absolutely no way she could watch Clara rise to success, stepping on her shoulders to get there!

If they were going down, they were going down together.

Sylvia urged her eagerly, "Yes, yes, try again quickly! Julian loves you so much; he spoils you. He definitely won't let you suffer!"

"Clara is nothing. Julian is just having some fun with a new toy. Once he's bored, he'll kick her to the curb. I know exactly how men operate."

"..."

Seraphina pursed her lips, staying silent. She desperately hoped Clara was just a fleeting novelty.

Sylvia kept cursing and complaining. Just as she stopped to catch her breath, her phone rang.

It was the secretary at her company.

Taking a breath, Sylvia quickly answered, "Hello? What is it, Chen?"

"It's a disaster, Ms. Shaw! Someone stole our latest project, and our funding has been cut off. Our company's stock is plummeting. If it keeps dropping like this, we'll go bankrupt!"
