Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 364

"Fine. Since that's how you want to play it, I'll pin every single charge directly on her!"

With that, Julian stood up and made a show of walking toward the door.

Seeing this, Cillian completely lost his nerve. He aggressively shoved Arthur aside, stepping into Julian's path to block him.

"Mr. Lowell, leave her out of this! I did all of it! She had absolutely nothing to do with it! Just let her go!"

How touching.

Julian's expression grew even colder. "Oh? And what exactly did you do?"

Cillian hesitated, but under the crushing weight of the man's lethal glare, he finally surrendered the truth. "I leaked your private schedule to her countless times..."

Julian signaled him with a look to keep going.

Unsure of exactly how much Julian already knew, Cillian spilled every single detail.

"I swapped the gifts you bought for Clara. I gave the real ones to Seraphina and the cheap knockoffs to her..."

Julian's breathing hitched.

So that was it. He had always wondered why Clara had suddenly stopped accepting his gifts. This was the reason.

He clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles turned white. "Keep going."

"At the design competition a few weeks ago, I was the one who hacked the security system and set up the signal jammer to lock Clara in the waiting room."

"And kidnapping Clara this afternoon was my idea too."

"..."

Cillian lowered his head even further. He confessed to absolutely everything, completely unaware that he had left out the most crucial detail: Seraphina's fake identity.

He knew he couldn't mention that.

Judging by the fact that Seraphina was still resting safely in a hospital room, Cillian assumed Julian still didn't know the truth.

Cillian had only discovered the secret by accident after overhearing Seraphina on the phone with her mother, Sylvia Shaw.

But by then, he had already fallen deeply in love with her.

So, when she cried in his arms, claiming she was forced down this dark path because of her tragic, traumatic childhood, his heart broke for her. He wanted nothing more than to protect her.

For years, whenever Arthur unknowingly mentioned that Julian was investigating the past or running new DNA tests, Cillian would quietly eliminate the threats in the shadows.

He did it all for one simple reason: She told him she loved him, and promised that one day, she would run away with him!

That single promise had been the only light in his dark, suffocating life.

As Cillian finished his confession,

The temperature in the office plummeted to absolute zero.
