Chapter 50
Billionaire’s Sweet Wife
Henry shook his head. âAll in all, youâre still angry with us. When you left, Grandpa did say something ruthless, but he was in a fit of anger at that time. Youâre his granddaughter. How can you take his angry words seriously?
âIt has been past for so long. Staying outside, you must have suffered a lot. Do you know how outsiders talk about you? Whatâs worse, you are in a lawsuit. In such a sorry state, are you still reluctant to go back?â
âItâs not because Iâm not reluctant to go back. When I feel that itâs the right time, I will go back.â
Seraphina straightened her back. âIâll handle my own affairs. Donât worry. No one will know about my relationship with the Landon family.
However, Seraphinaâs words angered Henry. âDo you think the Landon family is afraid of being dragged down by you? Do you think that the Landon family wonât get into trouble as long as you keep silent?
Why are you still so self-righteous after so many years?â
âYou can think that I am self-righteous. When I am qualified to go back to the Landon family, I will go back and explain it to Grandpa in person.â
Stepping forward again, Henry looked down at Seraphina and asked, âAre you sure you refuse to go back?â
Henry was extremely thin, which made him look taller. His face was very pale, but his lips were not pale and bloodless. His lips were pink, which looked congruent with his face. When people saw him, they would only think that he was a handsome young man.
Seraphina raised her head and said firmly, âIâm sureâ¦â
Before she finished speaking, Henry started to attack her.
Without thinking, she raised her arms to fight.
Henry was very fast. He attacked Seraphina with palms. He attacked her quickly and densely. If Seraphina hadnât reacted quickly enough, she would have been hit by his palms long ago.
After a few rounds of interaction, she was exhausted and panted. Henry kicked her waist.
Whoosh!
Henry stopped at a position three centimeters away from Seraphinaâs waist and withdrew his leg.
O <
9X 60%A Henry did it at once, and Seraphina didnât have the time to react.
He said faintly. Youâve lagged behind.
âYes!â Seraphina admitted it frankly.
When she fought with Julianâs b*dyguards last time, she noticed that she had been slack and lagged behind in the past two years. If it were in the past, she would defeat them effortlessly. However, her wrists hurt that day.
Henry asked again, âDo you insist on not going back?â
This time, Seraphina didnât answer, but her gaze had already given him the answer.
âAlright!â
After saying that, Henry passed her and left.
When Seraphina turned around, Henry had already disappeared.
Only then did she feel that her arms and lower legs were sore. Although Henry had pulled his punches, she felt exhausted after she fought with him.
Butâ¦
She thought, âDid I finally attract the attention of the Landon family this time?
âI thought that Grandpa had already given up on me and wouldnât pay any attention to me.â
In the lab of Prosperian Company, everyone devoted themselves to the experiment and tried countless times. However, the ingredients of essential oil were complex. There were dozens of spices in it. Even though they had the formula, the subtle differences in the weight of the ingredients would make the result different, let alone that whether the current formula was correct or not was still uncertain.
Everyone was stumped. They had worked for a long time, except for one person. Their necks and eyes ached.
Emily was sitting in a chair with all the experimental equipment in front of her. She leaned back with her hands hung down and her head tilted back. Obviously, she had fallen asleep.
When Vivian entered the lab, she saw such a scene.
Vivian clenched her fingers and took a deep breath. Then she walked over slowly, grabbed a blanket, and bent down to cover Emily.

Being shocked, Emily opened her eyes in a daze and said when she saw Vivian, âHi, Ms. Garcia.â
Vivian said with a smile, âEmily, are you tired? Thank you for your hard work. I just made a cup of coffee. Would you like to take a sip to refresh yourself?â
Emily looked at Vivian in surprise as if she didnât know Vivian.
Emilyâs gaze was saying that Vivian was out of her mind.
Vivian was unhappy with Emilyâs gaze, but she had to restrain herself.
Vivian had been refused by Seraphina. If Vivian couldnât hold her temper this time, she knew exactly what would happen.
Vivian joked, âWhy do you look at me like that? Are you afraid that I poisoned the coffee? How about I take a sip first?â She took a sip of the coffee. âIâm concerned about you!â
âThank you, Ms. Garcia. But since youâve drunk it, I canât drink it anymore.â
âIt doesnât matterâ¦â
When Vivian was about to say that she would get another cup of coffee for Emily, Emily added, âBesides, donât you know that itâs not allowed to eat or drink in the lab?â
After all, the lab was used for making perfume. Any other flavors would affect perfumersâ judgments.
Besides, coffee had a strong flavor and thus could cover the flavors of perfume easily. As a perfumer and director, Vivian made such a stu pid mistake. She might not take making perfume seriously or didnât know it at all.
Vivian smiled awkwardly, âI⦠Of course, I know it! You looked so tired. I did so just because I cared about you! Forget it. Now that youâre not able to make the perfume temporarily, put it aside and go out to have a talk with me.â
Before Emily replied, Vivian dragged Emily out of the lab and invited her to sit down on the sofa outside. Then Vivian made coffee again, and put snacks and fruits on the coffee table. âYou must be hungry, right? Eat something first. Iâll treat you to some delicious food later.â
Emily looked at Vivian in horror and crossed her arms over her chest to protect herself. âMs. Garcia, please come straight to the point. Donât be like that. I feel afraid!â
Vivian was stuck for words.
Vivian almost couldnât help but lose temper. She turned around, clenched her fists, and gritted her teeth.

O Wed, 31 Finally, she calmed down with difficulty. When she turned around again, she still wore a smile, âEmily, I know you have some misunderstanding about me. Itâs okay. I donât mind. I just want to talk with you today.
âWeâve worked together for so long, but we have never sat down and had a talk before. You take Seraphina as a friend and are willing to give up your job for her. Canât me as a friend?â
Vivian said sincerely and looked at Emily with a smile, waiting for her response.
you take Emily remained alert and kept her arms over her chest. When Vivian talked to her, she stared at Vivianâs mouth, blinked, and shook her head decisively. âNo way!â
Vivian didnât know what she could say.
