CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 168: SHOPPING AT THE MALL

She felt very sad, but she still had to deliver the dessert to the girl in the room and watch the girl reach out to take it.

She didn’t even know who the other person was, only managed to glimpse a beautifully colored jade bracelet on the girl’s hand.

Later, Jonathan Redgrave’s incident became too big a fuss. She originally had no interest in any of these matters, but under the overwhelming bombardment of information, she still picked up a bit of info in this regard.

She casually looked at a few pictures but was captivated by the bracelet on Seraphina Redgrave’s hand.

The woman Ethan Sterling brought home, she found her.

Seraphina Redgrave seemed so pure, but what good is purity? How could Ethan Sterling possibly like someone else?

Clearly, she loved Ethan Sterling the most in the whole world.

If Seraphina Redgrave died, it would be great.

Thinking of this, she immediately told Ryan Sterling that Seraphina was the woman Ethan Sterling brought back to the Sterling Family’s old mansion, and as she expected, Ryan began to keep an eye on Seraphina Redgrave.

Seraphina seemed to have some grudge with the Redgrave Family, so she decided to use it to her advantage.

Too bad those two wastes of the Redgrave Family couldn’t even handle such a simple matter as killing Seraphina.

Seraphina seemed to have some unclear relationship with Leo Lynch? How could Ethan Sterling stand a fickle woman like her?

But unfortunately, Seraphina still wasn’t blamed by Ethan Sterling.

Then Ryan went to look for Seraphina.

She waited silently, not for Seraphina to kill Ethan Sterling. She believed that her Ethan was so powerful that he wouldn’t be hurt by this woman’s tricks. Moreover, Ethan Sterling surely knows what Ryan has done behind the scenes.

Therefore, whether Seraphina Redgrave made a move against Ethan Sterling or not, she wouldn’t gain full trust from Ethan, maybe even get punished.

But after waiting for so long, Seraphina was still living just fine.

Ethan Sterling showed no sign of wanting her to leave his side.

She didn’t understand what kind of power Seraphina Redgrave used that made the exciting and omnipotent Ethan so unguarded, as if regardless of what this woman does, Ethan Sterling would always forgive her.

So she began to actively approach Seraphina Redgrave.

Yes, Seraphina guessed right. She did indeed want to use any excuse to get close to Seraphina, then use her to get closer to Ethan Sterling.

But the closer she got to Seraphina Redgrave, the more jealous she became of her.

This jealousy was almost burning her alive.

Thus, she constantly resorted to petty schemes to let others deal with Seraphina, erroneously thinking her schemes were clever, but alas, all were seen through by Seraphina.

She herself became a stepping stone for Seraphina Redgrave to establish The Defiance Society.

She was completely duped by Seraphina, who from the beginning was guarding against her, never truly fooled.

Seraphina would surely tell Ethan Sterling of her affections; Ethan would surely find her disgusting.

But she and Ethan Sterling weren’t even biologically related! She was just a foster child brought into the Sterling Family by Chloe Quinn. She’s so beautiful, intelligent, and raised with manners from a young age. Surely she’s more qualified to stand beside Ethan than Seraphina.

What does that Seraphina have!

But what use was just thinking about it? Ethan didn’t care about her at all.

Selena Quinn sat motionless, fingers slowly clenching into a fist, eyes toward the front filled with pain and jealousy.

"Sylvia Shaw, I don’t believe you have no weaknesses."

No one can stop her from standing beside Ethan Sterling.

No one can!

It was night.

Apex Plaza was booked out, not a single person visible in the entire mall.

Only Nathan Ayers stood at the entrance with bodyguards.

Seraphina Redgrave had never seen a mall completely devoid of people before.

"Take whatever you like."

The man’s deep voice echoed in her ear.

Walking hand in hand with Ethan Sterling onto the escalator, Seraphina gazed at the mall as bright as day, letting out a sigh in her heart, feeling all this downtime might as well be spent researching The Defiance Society.

Ethan led her into a high-end women’s fashion store, turning back to ask, "Is there anything you like?"

Seraphina glanced casually, "They all seem fine."

"Get one of each in her size."

Ethan instructs Nathan Ayers behind him without turning back.

"Certainly, Young Master Sterling."

Nathan nods.

Seraphina’s head felt too big; she helplessly looked at Ethan and said, "Young Master Sterling, buying so many clothes and I don’t even have a place to put them."

What Ethan wanted to spend his money on wasn’t her business, but Hibiscus Garden was just a single villa, how to fit this much stuff?

Upon hearing this, Ethan lowered his head to look at her, amber eyes teasing, "Do you want me to buy you a villa to store things?"

Seraphina felt a headache.

Just as she was about to refuse, Ethan hugged her and told Nathan Ayers, "Buy her a villa near Hibiscus Garden to store things."

The Little Rose he nurtured deserved to have whatever she wanted.

Seraphina’s headache intensified, "Young Master Sterling, I..."

Ethan looked at Seraphina, mood delighted, "Want anything else?"

No.

"No."

Is this the treatment for being Ethan’s lover...

Seraphina dared not speak further, lest Ethan come up with another peculiar idea.

Nathan swiftly noted the matter on his phone, while the bodyguards, orderly, began preparing to move the clothes. Suddenly, Nathan looked up at Ethan, "Young Master Sterling, we don’t know Miss’s measurements."

He wasn’t working in garment retail, no such keen eyesight.

On hearing this, Ethan loosened his tie and turned to stare at Seraphina, closely observing her without missing even the tiniest detail.

Seraphina felt goosebumps, having guessed what Ethan intended, immediately said, "Special Assistant Ayers, should I just tell you my measurements?"

"I think you seem to have gained weight? Let me personally measure you."

Thus.

Nathan quickly fetched a store’s tape measure handing it to Ethan, after which Ethan glanced at Nathan, who immediately understood and exited the store with the bodyguards.

After they left, Ethan said to Seraphina, "Head to the fitting room."

"Why?"

Seraphina was puzzled why measuring her size required going to the fitting room.

"Wearing clothes makes measuring inaccurate."

Ethan said with utmost seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Seraphina’s eyes turned cold; she pushed Ethan’s hand away, coldly meeting Ethan’s gaze, "Young Master Sterling, do you take pleasure in publicly humiliating women?"

Little Rose had quite the temper.

Ethan grabbed Seraphina, lowering his head close, amber eyes gazing directly into hers, "Seraphina, a man’s desire for a woman’s body is not an insult."

Sophistry.

Seraphina stood still, Ethan reached to grab her hand, lowered his head, but saw her hand already clenched into a fist.

She was throwing a tantrum at him.

Indulged by him.

Ethan’s expression also soured, violently pulling out the tape measure.

Just when Seraphina thought Ethan might strangle her with the tape, he spoke, "Fine, with clothes then!"

Seraphina paused.

It seemed after the Sterling Family banquet ended, Ethan became much more agreeable.

Her tightly clenched fist slowly relaxed, opening her arms for him to proceed.

Ethan began measuring her arm length, with a very serious demeanor.
