NOVPUBChapter 1139: 519 Starfire_2 Chapter 1139: 519 Starfire_2 Seraphine Moore’s eyes were full of affectionate naivety, she nodded without hesitation: “I will listen to you, I will abide by your every word.”
She had nothing left now.
Only by marrying Peter Aria could she utterly change her fate.
She had to take this gamble.
“I’ll take you home first.
Spend some good time with your family over the next few days.
Don’t sulk or argue with them, without family as your backup, even if you marry into the Arias, you would still be all alone.”
Seraphine Moore nodded again: “Alright, Vanessa, how can I get in touch with you?”
“I’ll contact you when necessary.”
Vanesse Aria dropped Seraphine off in front of her residential community and patted the back of her hand: “Don’t tell anyone that you’ve seen me, do you understand?”
Seraphine Moore couldn’t dwell on thinking too much, she knew that she had to marry Peter Aria, to infuriate that old crone.
“I understand, Vanessa.”
“Getting late, you should head home.”
Seraphine Moore got out of the car, looking back at Vanessa Aria in the car, she bit her lip.
...
“Vanessa, I’ll be watching out for you.” With that, she turned and walked into the gates of the residential community.
Vanessa Aria closed the car window.
As the window rolled up inch by inch, the smile on her face faded bit by bit, until it was completely gone.
“Younger brother has really handed me a useful pawn.” Vanessa scoffed.
Dreaming of marrying Peter Aria is quicker than it happening in reality.
“Let’s go.”
The driver started the car, and took to the expressway. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
Seeing the iconic architecture of Benefit University from afar, the lights were dazzling in the night.
Vanessa Aria said on impulse: “Let’s make a stop at Romand Road.”
The driver got off the freeway at the next intersection, stopping at the Romand Road intersection upon Vanessa Aria’s orders.
“Wait for me here.”
Vanessa Aria hunched in her hat, got out of the car, and disappeared swiftly into the alleyway.
“Knock, knock, knock.” The rhythmic sound of knocking echoed.
The woman adjusted her pajamas, further revealing the youthful color of her chest.
A confident smile rose on her face, delicately painted.
She would not give up easily.
When the door opened, the man, dressed in a white homewear, stood tall.
His clean and tender features illuminated by the backdrop of his long figure.
Upon seeing the woman by the front door, Violetta Gartia’s eyebrows furrowed slightly: “Ms.
Hayley?
What’s going on?”
Sarah Hayley, presenting the box in her hand, “I…
my friend sent me some cherries from abroad, I can’t finish them all, so I thought of sharing some with Professor Gartia.”
Violetta Gartia did not accept: “Thank you, I appreciate your thought, but please take it back.”
Sarah Hayley hurriedly looked up, under the light, her handsome face exhibited some traces of vulnerability.
Her beautifully made-up eyes brimmed with pitiful gloss.
“Professor Gartia, do you detest me?”
Violetta Gartia showed no compassion.
His gaze was drawn to the building entrance where the light from the lamp was projecting a shadow that kept flickering.
Violetta Gartia’s pupils constrict slightly and the corner of his mouth curves up with a smile so faint that was barely perceptible.
Seeing Luzern Gartia’s subtle smile, Sarah Hayley’s heart palpitated nervously.
“That’s funny, Ms.
Hayley.
I just don’t have a sweet tooth.”
Sarah Hayley shoved the box into his hands, turned around, and walked away.
“Even if you’re not going to eat it, it’d be a waste to throw it away, for every grain of rice comes from the sweat of farmers.”
Luzern Gartia chuckled softly, thanked her under his breath, and slowly closed the door.
The corridor was quiet.
After taking two steps, Sarah Hayley turned back to look at Luzern Gartia’s door, a slight smile tugged at her mouth.
A shadow silently approached her, projected onto the white wall in front of her.
The flickering light suddenly extinguished, before Sarah Hayley could scream, a hand clasping her throat from behind choked her into silence.
Under the fear, Sarah Hayley’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
On the wall, shades of a shadow seemed to resemble a snake’s head, leaning against her ear.
“How dare you covet my man, you’ve got guts.”
With a voice cold to the bone, as if a chilling knife scraping across flesh, Sarah Hayley’s eyes widened, her head shook in denial.
There was a sneer on Vanessa Aria’s face, her eyes treacherously ruthless.
“You like to seduce men, don’t you?
I’ll give you this opportunity.”
——
“Knock, knock, knock.” The door of Luzern’s room was knocked again.
Luzern Gartia opens the door, recognizing the person outside, his brow furrowed instantly.
Vanessa Aria did not miss the fleeting disappointment in his eyes.
This man was never good at hiding his emotions.
“What?
Disappointed to see me?
Were you expecting Ms.
Hayley?”
Vanessa Aria pushed him lightly.
Following his retreat, she crossed over the threshold into his room.
The door behind her closed with a ‘bang’.
Luzern Gartia, brushing off the area of his chest that she touched said casually, “Why are you here?”
