�Of course. I�ve never lied to you.�

�Tell me then. I�m going crazy from not seeing Stefan for so long��

�Well, we can�t reach Stefan since he�s so powerful� but doesn�t that mean we�ll have a chance if he falls off his pedestal?� Ethan smiled deviously, his eyes gleaming.

Seraphina frowned. �What do you mean?�

�Well, his family only managed to get out of their previous crisis because we invested in their company, but once Stefan recovered, that ungrateful boy started pushing you away. We need to ruin him so he�ll need support, and at that point, we�ll appear to help him. Wouldn�t it be easy for you to be with him then?� Ethan explained slowly.

The law of the jungle ruled everything in this cruel world-only the great had the power to choose, and the weak would be at the mercy of others. Ethan found his daughter foolish for helping Stefan to soldier through his hardships; once he had recovered, the first thing he did was kick away his stepping stone.

�I� I don�t know if it�ll work�� Seraphina felt that her father�s suggestion was reasonable because Stefan got engaged to her when there was a financial problem with Hunt Enterprise.

Although he gave up because of Renee, that was still the closest Seraphina had been to Stefan. After that, Seraphina managed to stay with Stefan for a long time because he had suffered a great blow and needed support. It made her wonder if Stefan would choose her if he was left with nothing one day�

When Ethan noticed Seraphina�s hesitation, he became confident. �Just listen to me, Seraphina. You must ruin a person first if you want to get him.�

�But Stefan is so strong. How can we ruin him? I�m afraid he�ll ruin me first��

�Don�t worry about that because I�ve already found a partner. All you need to do is say yes.�

�Well� let�s go with your plan then.� Seraphina gritted her teeth and agreed, closing her eyes.

It was late at night when Margaret returned to Everheart Manor with Adie.

Renee couldn�t sleep out of worry, and was sitting in the living room and sighing.

Abby felt sorry for Renee, and had stayed up with her.

�Are you scared because you can�t see, Mommy? Do you want anything to eat or drink?� Abby poured a glass of water for Renee and stuffed snacks into Renee�s hands.

�Thank you, Abby, but I�m not hungry or thirsty. Isn�t it late? Why don�t you go to bed first?� Renee reached out for her daughter and hugged her.

Abby stared up at Renee, who was wearing sunglasses, and tears welled up in her eyes.

�Will your eyes get better, Mommy? What will we do if you can�t see me anymore?�

�Don�t worry, I�ll get better. Plus, you and Adie can be my eyes if I can�t recover, right? Isn�t that great? Are you willing to be my eyes, Abby?� JrNovels.com
