NOVPUBChapter 1138: 519 Starfire_1 Chapter 1138: 519 Starfire_1 Seraphine Moore stumbled out of the Police Department in a daze, feeling light-headed and seeing in black and white.
The police hadn’t made things difficult for her.
Her family had fought for her civil compensation, but from now on, her reputation would be so tarnished in the circle of Lostswa that she would be unable to redeem herself.
She had lost her job and destroyed her reputation.
She couldn’t face anyone anymore.
A black sedan suddenly stopped in front of her.
She was startled and stumbled, almost falling over.
...
The car door opened, revealing a gentle and smiling face of a woman.
Seraphine Moore gasped incredulously, “Vanessa?”
“Get in the car.”
Seraphine Moore looked around.
She didn’t see any of her family members.
The woman seemed to have read her mind and said, “Madam Moore won’t come.”
Tears welled up in Seraphine’s eyes.
Was her mother also giving up on her?
Without any hesitation, she bent down and climbed into the car.
“Vanessa, did you help me this time?” she asked.
The woman handed her a bottle of water, “Seems like you had a hard time at the Police Department.”
The police hadn’t neglected her, she had enough food and drink, it was just that her mood didn’t allow for her to eat or drink anything.
She hadn’t had a drop of water for two days, consequently, her lips had dried up and started to peel off.
Seraphine Moore took the bottle of water and took a hefty swig.
Her throat felt better, and she stammered out, “Thank you, Vanessa.”
“Seraphine, don’t blame my brother.
He has always been a stickler for doing things right.”
Seraphine Moore clenched her fists, “I know, I don’t blame Peter, it is my fault.”
The woman shook her head with a sigh, “But my brother was a bit too harsh this time, not even considering familial emotions.
You lost your job, and your doctor’s license was revoked.
How will you get by in the future?”
Seraphine Moore tried to suppress her tears, “I don’t know, I don’t have the guts to return home now.”
Vanessa Aria gently patted her back and softly said, “Don’t blame your family either.
Your sister-in-law had a huge fight with Madam Aria because of you.
Madam Aria is unsympathetic.
Peter was harsh on you because he listened to her…
sigh.”
As Seraphine Moore cried harder, profound resentment against Madam Aria filled her.
“It’s ironic that you almost became part of the Arias…
It’s such a twisted fate.”
Vanessa Aria’s tone was filled with endless regret.
“Even if you had done something wrong then, the Arias would have used every resource to help you.
What a pity.
”
Seraphine choked in disbelief, “Vanessa, you just mentioned that I almost became part of the Aria family.
What do you mean by that?”
“Don’t you know?” Vanessa Aria seemed surprised.
Seraphine was nonplussed.
“Well, it’s not a secret anyway.
Initially, your sister-in-law hoped that you and Peter would be together.
You know my brother, he didn’t mind that kind of arrangement.”
Seraphine was shocked, realizing that she almost married Peter Aria.
Vanessa Aria glanced at Seraphine’s pale face, her lips curled slightly, before she changed the tone of the conversation, “But it’s a shame…”
Seraphine subconsciously gripped Vanessa’s arm and asked anxiously, “What is the pity?”
“Well, you know Madam Aria is a perfectionist.
One sister-in-law is already her limit.
She was hell-bent on finding a wife of equal status for Peter.
Your family, the Moores, couldn’t meet her standards.”
Seraphine clenched her fists.
Just a bit, she was that close to marrying Peter Aria.
Why did Madam Aria spoil her chance?
“It’s such a pity, you could have been my sister-in-law.” Vanessa Aria shook her head, expressing regret.
Seraphine burst into tears, “Why did this happen?”
“Don’t worry, you still have a chance.”
Seraphine jerked her head towards Vanessa.
The light inside the car was dim, Vanessa’s face was indistinct, only her eyes were bright and piercing.
“Vanessa…
what do you mean?”
Vanessa, gently stroking a lock of Seraphine’s hair and said softly, “Peter has been single all these years.
As his sister, I worry that he will be lonely forever.
There are many women in Lostswa who want to marry him, but most of them are after the Aria family’s fortune.
Only you care for Peter.
Only by being with you, will he be happy.”
An uncontrollable ecstasy bubbled up in Seraphine’s heart, “Vanessa, I like Peter, I have liked him since we were children.
Marrying him is this life’s greatest wish.
Please, will you help me?”
“Sure, I will help you, but you have to promise to obey me.”
