Chapter 123
Bribery...
Mrs. Thorne’s face changed tically.
She knew better than anyone what her husband had done-after all, she had been a beneficiary of his corruption.
“You... you're talking nonsense! My mate would never do such things!”
The more she protested, the less confident she sounded.
Seraphina bit her lip, her face also growing complicated with worry.
Aria actually knew about Lucas’s bribery activities!
“Instead of wasting there, it would be better to find a way to distance yourself from this mess. After all,
being investigated for corruption has serious implications.” Aria’s tone was matter-of-fact. “Associations with
corrupt officials can be quite damaging.”
Seraphina clenched her hands and turned away.
Mrs. Thorne didn’t dare stay any longer-her mate’s job security was now at risk.

“Ms. Cross!”
Mrs. Thorne caught up with Seraphina and grabbed her hand. “You must help him with this situation! He can’t
afford to lose this position, and besides, it's because of you...”
“Shut up!”
Seraphina couldn’t help her anger, anxiety making her emotions volatile. She was terrified this foolish woman
might reveal something incriminating.
Seeing other people’s attention turning toward them, Seraphina took a deep breath and forced herself to appear
calm. “Don’t worry, I'll help Dr. Thorne.”
Mrs. Thorne managed a relieved smile. “Alright, then I'll go hand wait for your news.”
After Mrs. Thorne left, Seraphina finally clenched her fists, her face looking extremely grim.
She had thought that using this method would eliminate Aria.
But who knew that even in this situation, Aria could still turn the tables!
Although Kane had publicly acknowledged his “feelings” for her that day, he had made an excuse and left
immediately after escorting her back to her office.
