A ruthless glint flashed through Seraphina's eyes.
She suddenly remembered. On the day of the crash, right as she was slipping out of consciousness, that red silhouette standing in the distance... it had been Cynthia!
And now here she was, using the crash to gloat...
Seraphina had a sinking suspicion that Cynthia was somehow connected to the "accident".
Seeing her remain silent, Cynthia's tone grew even more arrogant. "What's wrong? Not happy? Come on, hit me then."
She tilted her head, leaning in closer, her eyes brimming with smug defiance. "But look at you. You have absolutely no one backing you. If you actually try to touch me, you'd better think long and hard about the consequen—"
Smack!
Seraphina slapped her hard across the face.
The force of the blow spun Cynthia around, and she staggered two steps back before catching her balance.
Her cheek instantly swelled red. Her eyes wide with disbelief, she stammered, "You... you actually dared to..."
She clutched her face and spun around, her gaze landing squarely on the doorway.
Seraphina followed her line of sight and saw Dominic standing right there.
He was holding a bag of medication, having clearly just returned from the pharmacy. He was frozen in the doorway, his face as dark as a storm cloud.
Cynthia practically threw herself at him, clutching her stinging cheek. "Dominic! I saw that Seraphina was hurt, so I just came in to comfort her, but she hit me..."
She covered her face, looking like the ultimate victim.
Dominic's brow furrowed tightly.
He stared at Seraphina, his voice pure ice. "Seraphina, since when did you become so vicious?"
He felt profoundly disappointed.
He had started to think that, given how incredibly capable she had turned out to be, maybe they could find a new way to coexist.
Even if they couldn't be husband and wife, perhaps they could at least be friends.
But now, seeing her act like this, he was filled with nothing but disgust.
What good was talent if her character was this rotten? It was worthless.
