Billionaire’s Sweet Wife by Joanna Badldwin

Chapter 14

Seraphina finally said, “They said you were having an affair behind my back and you set me up!”

Julian’s face suddenly darkened and he snapped, “What are you talking about?”

However, facing Seraphina, Vivian didn’t realize what Seraphina meant for a moment. Facing such a

direct and severe accusation, Vivian subconsciously felt guilty and instinctively dodged Seraphina’s

eyes.

Hearing Julian’s voice, Vivian came back to her senses and echoed, “Yeah, how could you believe

that? It was a slander!”

“Sera, we’ve been together for so long. Do you need anyone to tell you about our relationship? How

could you believe such a boring lie? It’s too upsetting,” said Vivian.

After saying so, Vivian looked aggrieved. Her eyes were red and tears were about to fall.

Seraphina thought it was a pity that Vivian wasn’t an actress.

However, Seraphina could also act!

Her mouth was flattened, and she lowered her eyes in depression. Seraphina pretended to struggle

with puzzlement and said, “But it’s not just them. People outside always said that

you and Julian…”

“Seraphina!”

Before Seraphina could finish, Julian interrupted her sharply and grabbed her arm, saying, “Are you a

fool? How could you believe the rumors? You keep saying that someone said this and people said that.

Do you have ears but no brain? Do you know who the others are, who we are, and who you should

trust?”

Julian was furious, as if he had been greatly insulted, and cursed Seraphina.

Seraphina thought, ‘Well, I am a fool indeed. Otherwise, how could I be fooled by these two people for

so long?’

But the more Julian looked angry and guilty, the more amused Seraphina felt. She had thought that

Julian and Vivian might simply admit their affair when things had reached this point, but she didn’t

expect them to be so stubborn.

That was fine. Since they wanted to act, Seraphina would accompany them to finish the play.

“But now that things have been like this, why don’t we just announce to the public that

First Love is a work jointly developed by Vivian and me?” Seraphina suggested.

“No way!” Vivian refused immediately and decisively. “After what happened yesterday, who will believe

it? This will do nothing to save the reputation of Prosperian Company. We can’t do this!”

At first, Julian hesitated for a while, but when he heard Vivian’s words, he immediately echoed, “That’s

right. That’s not going to work. And you know that you have a history, and

your reputation is not good. If we announce that you developed First Love together with Vivian, it

means that we were wrong last night. We can’t do this! Absolutely not!”

“What are we going to do then?” Seraphina asked.

Seraphina guessed that they would not agree. She was just curious about how they would solve the

farce yesterday.

“Seraphina,” Julian called out. Holding Seraphina’s arms, Julian said in a low tone and stared at her

seriously, “I’m sorry, but you have to do this.”

“What do you mean?” Seraphina raised her eyebrow and looked calm.

“I’ll give a press conference, then you should come out and say that you were out of your mind and

wanted to take credit for First Love alone. Then you should apologize to Vivian. The company will

forgive you, and it’s over,” Julian said.

Julian said quickly as if he had thought about the words many times in his mind.

Seraphina didn’t retort but still looked embarrassed. “But Aroma Delight…” she murmured.

“You can just ignore them. Have you signed a contract with them?” Julian asked.



He frowned and was unhappy at the thought of Aroma Delight.

The point was that Julian had no idea when Seraphina got in touch with Aroma Delight.

Seraphina shook her head and said, “No.”

“That’s good. Since you didn’t sign any contract with Aroma Delight, you can change your mind. It

would be merciful of me not to sue them for libel!” said Julian.

Then Julian patted Seraphina’s arm with one hand and said, “Seraphina, you are too simple to know

the complexity and dirtiness of the business world. We did it for own good. We don’t want you to get

involved in these shi tty things.

“I’ll take care of the business with Vivian. You can just concentrate on making perfume. Isn’t it your

favorite thing? Isn’t it wonderful to be able to focus on what you love?”

Seraphina looked at Julian. He had been brainwashing her with such words so that she would be

willing to help Julian and Vivian regardless of the reward.

But at this moment, they still wanted to use Seraphina to take all the blame for them in the name of her

good.

If Seraphina admitted to stealing the formula, it would be impossible for her to work in another

company. Stealing would be a lifelong stigma. Seraphina couldn’t stay in this circle for the rest of her

life.

Julian asked Seraphina to do this, not only to protect the reputation of Prosperian Company and Vivian,

but also to ruin Seraphina’s reputation. In that case, Seraphina had no choice but to work for him in the

future.

Seraphina thought, “You wish! What a plan!’

“Is it possible that I can make up for the loss by admitting my mistake? Won’t you blame me?”

Seraphina stared at Julian and asked nervously.



Julian was satisfied.

This was the Seraphina he was familiar with. She always cared about his feelings the most. How could

she betray him?

Julian gently hugged Seraphina’s shoulders and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry. I know you were

also fooled by those despicable people. How can I blame you? I will only blame it on those who have

evil intentions.

“Don’t be afraid. During the press conference, Vivian and I will accompany you. We will cheer you up.

It’s fine!”

Holding back her disgust and anger, Seraphina nodded and said, “Thank you.”

Vivian looked at Seraphina and Julian with hatred and wanted to pull them away immediately.

But for now, Vivian had to consider the overall picture, so she had to tolerate it.

When Seraphina left the office, Vivian couldn’t help but lose her temper, saying, “Are you obsessed

with her again? I think you’ll believe everything she says now! Do you really believe she was taught by

Aroma Delight? How could they know about my relationship with you, and why did they tell her that?”

“It’s hard to say whether it was the people from Aroma Delight who manipulated Seraphina, but I’m

certain that she suspects us now,” Julian said.

Then he picked up the cigarette box on the table casually and took out one from it. Julian lit the

cigarette, took a slow puff, and narrowed his eyes, saying, “It doesn’t

matter. The most important thing is to calm down the public opinion first.”

Vivian sneered and said, “Will she really do what you say? Don’t you forget how

eloquent she was last night and how she dominated the show? Aren’t you afraid that she will play such

a trick on you again at the press conference?”

Although Seraphina was a foolish woman, Vivian always felt that something was wrong this time.

“She doesn’t dare!” Julian exhaled a puff and shook his head.

After a pause, Julian added, “Even if she dares to do that, I have my plan waiting for her. But…

“She won’t. She can’t be that smart. What happened yesterday might have been a misunderstanding.”
