Novels by Echo Nightfall

When the Henry family father and son came to visit, there was no real need for Seraphina Arden to leave. However, Leon Everhart had started putting Seraphina Arden ahead of himself without realizing it. He didn’t want her to get hurt, nor did he want anything to happen to her.Seeing the Henry family, Seraphina Arden felt a deep resentment. She had never even met these people before, yet they had almost destroyed her family. She wanted to do something about it but felt utterly powerless.At this point, Seraphina Arden had no reason or leverage to fight them. Even if she did, she knew she wouldn’t win. Compared to them, she was like an ant trying to shake a giant tree.Seraphina Arden sat motionless, staring at her computer. Suddenly, she received a text message from Leon Everhart. Reading the contents, her eyes welled up with tears. She realized that Leon understood her emotions and was giving her a chance to step away.Leon Everhart had many flaws, but he also had his strengths. Sera

Leon Everhart’s repeated concessions had given the Henry family a taste of benefits.However, after their failed manipulation of Ethan, the Henry family hadn’t secured a single piece of land in the past year.The deals they managed to secure were only possible by borrowing credentials from others, for which they had to pay transfer fees.The parties lending their credentials bore responsibilities and charged a management fee of 3% to 5% of the contract value.Even when the Henry family secured projects and resold them, their profits were minimal. The term "declining fortunes" perfectly described their current situation.Yet, even a dying camel is bigger than a horse. The Henry family still maintained their façade. Their materials factory, having been established locally for over a decade, still boasted a considerable client base.This was why Leon Everhart advised Seraphina Arden not to provoke the Henry family—they still wielded influence and could back Harper.While they might not e

A year had passed quickly, and soon it was the start of a new year.One day, Elijah received a call from Sebastian:"Elijah, there’s a municipal renovation project coming up for bidding. Let Mr. Everhart know to keep an eye on the online announcements in the next couple of days."Hearing this, Seraphina Arden immediately understood that this was Sebastian repaying Leon Everhart’s favor.Sebastian believed it was Leon who had provided Seraphina with the photos and videos of Ethan and Jenny, effectively saving Ethan, Sebastian, and Seraphina’s family from disaster.Leon Everhart’s seemingly casual actions at Lucas and Olivia’s engagement party—the small gestures toward Seraphina Arden—had not gone unnoticed by her family. Seraphina’s aunt even asked her, “Seraphina, is there something going on between you and your boss?”Seraphina immediately denied it: “Absolutely not. He’s just a showy peacock who flirts with everyone.”Sebastian and the Ardens believed in the principle of repaying ki

Seraphina Arden grew up in a loving and nurturing family. The violence and schemes she saw in TV shows and movies never touched her life. When watching such dramas, she might have felt a little pity but never true empathy—those pains didn’t belong to her.But yesterday, Leon Everhart’s words utterly shocked her. If it hadn’t been for him stepping in, her parents might have been hurt. Her mother could have either died or been paralyzed. Even if they had investigated, it would have just been written off as an accident. Just thinking about it made Seraphina’s scalp tingle, her body tremble, and her heart race. She had been holding back her emotions all this time.When she entered her home and saw her healthy mother smiling as she opened the door for her, Seraphina immediately hugged her tightly and began to sob uncontrollably. Clinging to her mother, Seraphina felt as if she were experiencing a second chance at life.Society constantly forces people to grow up. In just one night, the hea

That night, Seraphina Arden drove Leon Everhart home.In the car, Leon Everhart said to her, “Seraphina, don’t let anyone else know about this. Don’t let Lucas or Harper find out that you told me either. If Lucas asks, you must tell him you didn’t say anything to me.”Seraphina Arden had seen Leon Everhart silently deal with many things before, but now that it was her turn to witness his methods, she couldn’t help but feel scared.Leon Everhart seemed to sense her thoughts. He smiled and said, “What are you afraid of? I won’t do anything to you. I’m genuinely happy that you told me. Otherwise, I would’ve remained in the dark. In fact, even if you hadn’t told me, I would’ve found out eventually. But it’s different now that you were the one to tell me first. Go home and don’t overthink it. Oh, and remember to bring me breakfast tomorrow morning.”Leon Everhart got out of the car and went upstairs alone.Once inside his home, he ripped off his suit jacket and threw it forcefully onto the

Lucas’s audacity was fueled by Harper. On the day of the engagement banquet, Harper had noticed Leon Everhart’s small gestures toward Seraphina Arden.She told Lucas, “That man has never treated me like that, but look at the way he is with your cousin Seraphina Arden—gentle and attentive. During the banquet, his eyes were glued to her the entire time. With all the wealth of the Everhart family, and Leon Everhart being handsome and rich, it’s rare for a man like him to be genuinely drawn to a woman. If Seraphina Arden puts in just a little effort, Leon Everhart will undoubtedly agree to marry her. All of Everhart’s fortune would then still belong to her. A wealthy man who loves her—any woman would say yes. Go and ask Seraphina Arden to hold onto Leon Everhart. Tell her that if she wants, Leon Everhart will surely agree to it. I’ll step aside and let her have everything."At least this way, we’ll have a slim chance of survival. Olivia has been scheming against us for so long. She doesn’
