Chapter 93

Evelyn's outburst left the two completely stunned.

Seraphina had completely forgotten about her pitiful facade, her expression twisting momentarily before she quickly regained her composure. With a trembling voice, she whimpered, "I know you never liked me before, but you—"

"Why did you become like this, Evelyn? I don’t even recognize you anymore," Sebastian said, his voice laced with shock.

"Maybe it’s because you’re blind," Evelyn scoffed. She pointed at Seraphina and began recounting past events to Sebastian.

"Have you forgotten? You were on the verge of stardom, with a golden opportunity to break into the film industry. I agreed to be your agent because I saw your potential—you could’ve been the lead in that award-winning film. But what did you do? You threw it all away for a fool like her, making your path to success ten times harder than it needed to be."

Sebastian’s expression darkened at her words.

A flicker of panic crossed Seraphina’s face.

From a distance, Evelyn’s thoughts raced as she pieced together the hidden details. Oh, I see now. That year, there was a critically acclaimed movie holding open auditions for fresh faces. Sebastian, with his striking looks and raw talent, was the top contender for the lead role. But just before the final audition, he vanished—all because of a frantic call from Seraphina, claiming there was a fire and she was trapped. Of course, he rushed to her rescue without hesitation. At the time, it seemed noble. But the truth? She never even called the fire department. Instead, she waited, playing the damsel in distress, while the actual fire was handled by the elderly couple upstairs who alerted the authorities. By the time Sebastian arrived, the firefighters were already there, scolding Seraphina for her recklessness. If she had just called for help immediately, the damage would’ve been minimal. But no—she had to make sure Sebastian missed his audition.

Julian, eavesdropping nearby, nearly choked on his drink. What the hell?

Evelyn’s thoughts continued, And here’s the real kicker—Seraphina was paid off. Half a million dollars to sabotage Sebastian’s chance. The one who paid her? None other than her current sugar-daddy boyfriend, Adrian. That’s how they met. Talk about a well-kept secret!

Julian’s eyebrows shot up. Damn.

Sebastian, oblivious to the bombshell, clenched his fists. "I haven’t forgotten what she did to me. I swear, Isabelle, I won’t have anything to do with her again."

But even as he spoke, his gaze flickered back to Seraphina, who swayed dramatically, her eyes brimming with tears. Against his better judgment, he reached out to steady her—only for her to pull away, her sorrowful gaze cutting deeper than any words.

Just then, a sharp voice cut through the tension.

"Sebastian, you’re heartless!"

A young woman stormed forward, wrapping a protective arm around Seraphina.

Evelyn smirked. Oh, this just got even messier.
