Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 273: Giving Up on Seraphina Redgrave

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Giving Up on Seraphina Redgrave

Nathan Ayers stared at her in astonishment; he hadn’t discovered a single clue.

"I actually have my own power, a private organization built here, so secretive that no one can find it. It’s my escape route."

Seraphina Redgrave continued, "What I told Miles Harrington earlier was true: if I commit suicide, they will fight Z country to the bitter end, submitting all evidence to the international committee, causing endless turmoil in Z country. But that’s not what I want to see."

Ethan Sterling had once told her that only she could hurt him, and he wouldn’t blame her.

Because, at that time, he believed Seraphina would succeed, that she would soar, overturning the wrongs on Veridian Isle, making the tycoons pay their due price.

Even if he was the most powerful person in Z country, he wouldn’t be exempted, even though he had only been in power for a few years, and hadn’t committed those acts.

But actually, Seraphina never thought to recklessly expose the secrets of Veridian Isle; she needed to be fully prepared, without implicating more people.

If it meant saving the people of Veridian Isle at the cost of harming other innocent people, it would trouble her conscience.

Seraphina spoke so much that her throat ached, swallowing before continuing, "Miles Harrington can announce that I have no evidence, and killing me could temporarily stabilize national sentiment, while in this period, my power could strategize further, then rebuild Veridian Isle to complete my unfinished plans. By then, tell Ethan not to interfere, even if it’s my dying wish."

"Thinking like this, does it feel better?"

She really wanted to rebuild Veridian Isle.

She wanted it so much.

But, alas, she was destined not to complete it.

However, she hoped someone could help her accomplish this, so she could die without regret.

Upon hearing this, Nathan Ayers sighed, his gaze on Seraphina filled with pity, "Miss, you only considered the future of Veridian Isle, but what about yours? You never considered your own future."

Did she foresee today would come, so she created an organization to fulfill the plan for her?

She planned everything without taking her own life into account.

"Since I decided to rebuild Veridian Isle, I have no retreat." Seraphina said calmly, not like someone who cared about their own life.

"What about Young Master Sterling?" Nathan Ayers asked, "What shall become of Young Master Sterling? You know how he feels about you. If you die, what will become of him? I can’t even dare imagine. Why can’t you consider Young Master Sterling?"

Does it always have to be Veridian Isle?

Consider? Is there still a chance to consider?

Seeing Seraphina unmoved, Nathan Ayers added, "You know Young Master Sterling’s volatile nature; he can’t be provoked."

Seraphina’s fingers twitched, a sour feeling in her heart, as she looked up at the ceiling and blinked. After a while she said, "To Ethan, I am not that important."

When his sister passed, Ethan didn’t fall ill. How could he this time?

"..."

"After I die, let him return home." Seraphina felt a lump in her throat.

"Actually, Miss, you..."

"Special Assistant Ayers, you know me; I never regret my decisions." Seraphina’s eyes were increasingly resolute, "No matter what, don’t let Ethan return now."

Indeed, Nathan Ayers knew her best, so stubborn that even Young Master Sterling couldn’t persuade her, how could he, as an assistant?

Nathan Ayers slowly tightened his grip on her hand, careful not to hurt her, feeling extremely uncomfortable, with emotions surging within, for her stubbornness, for her transcendence.

He understood Seraphina’s intention; she was doing it for Young Master Sterling’s good.

But what could she do?

Miles Harrington returned, seeing the scene in the cell and understanding Nathan Ayers hadn’t succeeded in persuading her, he rubbed his forehead and walked to Nathan’s side, "Nathan, you should have figured it out."

There was no room to reverse this.

Having reached this point, they could only do their best to protect everyone’s interests.

Nathan knelt by Seraphina’s side, his eyes, usually dry, now reddened.

Kneeling there for a long time, he supported Seraphina up before retreating, bending both knees in front of her.

Tears blurred his eyes, his lips quivering so much that his voice was no longer steady, "Miss, I’m sorry."

He was helpless, unable to protect Seraphina.

This kneeling signified the Sterling clan’s abandonment of Seraphina.

Supporting herself on the cold floor, Seraphina just pulled a bitter smile at Nathan’s kneeling.

The blood around the bullet hole in her left shoulder darkened from crimson to a deeper shade, and fresh blood continued to trickle slowly from the torn wound.

"You can go." Seraphina looked at Nathan and spoke lightly.

Now that everything had been explained, his presence here was no longer meaningful.

"..."

Nathan looked at the few strands of loose hair on her forehead, as fragile as porcelain, about to shatter any moment.

His eyes grew redder, tears welling but stubbornly refusing to fall.

Rising, he looked at Miles Harrington, "Mr. President, don’t make things harder for Miss Redgrave, just agree to her terms. It’s the best choice right now."

Miles frowned, casting a glance at Seraphina, "I still have to try. Giving up so easily would make me seem incompetent, wouldn’t it?"

What if Seraphina eventually gave in and confessed everything?

He had no reason to forfeit such an opportunity.

Nathan Ayers almost wanted to punch Miles Harrington, "What exactly do you want to do to her? She’s already in this state!"

Miles Harrington didn’t want to reveal too much to Seraphina about the extent of his actions, simply saying, "Nathan, it’s none of your concern, I know what I’m doing."

"Remember, Young Master Sterling will return home one day." Nathan reminded him.

If Young Master Sterling returned, none of them would escape punishment.

"I don’t need you teaching me how to do things," Miles replied, his tone cooling, "since you can’t bear it, you should leave."

"..."

Nathan knew that since they had abandoned Seraphina, there was nothing more he could intervene in.

Seeing the blood pouring from Seraphina’s left shoulder, he clenched his fists before releasing them like an exhale, turning to leave the cell.

Miles Harrington squatted in front of Seraphina, looking into her eyes, and asked slowly, "Classmate Redgrave, perhaps you can explain the meaning of your name?"

The question sounded as if making small talk.

Seraphina looked at the electronic lock rings binding her handcuffs and shackles, curling her lips into a smile, very calmly, "To ride the wind and scatter in this world, never to exist again."

This was indeed the Redgrave Family’s view.
