Semua Bab The Playboy CEO’s Curvy Obsession: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Seraphina Arden had no lofty ambitions like Leon Everhart to become a boss. She just wanted a peaceful, stable life.She didn’t want to run away either. How could she? Running would only show guilt, and if she fled, those people might target her parents. Instead, she decided to remain still and let time resolve things.Leon Everhart had promised her, “Seraphina Arden, give me six months. I’ll take care of everything and then come find you. I promise I won’t bother you during this time and will give you your freedom. But you must promise me, no other men, and no falling for anyone else.”Seraphina Arden treated Leon Everhart’s words like a passing breeze, as meaningless as air. She had finally escaped his grasp and didn’t want to see his face or deal with the women constantly surrounding him.After years of intense work, suddenly having nothing to do left her restless. She decided to find a job—not for the salary, but to keep herself occupied and prevent overthinking.A low-paying job

Lucas’s wedding was attended by Elijah and Chloe, though Seraphina Arden didn’t accompany them.No matter how much they fought, they were still family.Lucas’s mother personally called Chloe to make amends, and Chloe and Elijah had to accept. This was how the world worked.Even though Seraphina Arden had left the scene, rumors about her continued to swirl.At the wedding, Lucas’s mother couldn’t help herself. “Chloe, why isn’t Seraphina here today? Isn’t it her day off?”Chloe responded immediately, “Seraphina went out with some friends. She’s still single, but we eat our own rice and drink our own soup. We don’t need others worrying about her marriage.”The words Lucas’s mother had prepared to belittle Seraphina Arden and brag about her son were stuck in her throat.Lucas, slightly drunk and flushed, carefully supported Olivia as they moved about.The newlyweds first approached the Everhart family’s table to toast. Lucas was visibly nervous; he hadn’t managed to smooth things over wi

That night, Harper was dragged away by her mother. Clutching her heartbroken, wailing child, she turned back as she stepped out the door, her tear-filled eyes pleading with Leon Everhart.Leon’s gaze was full of sorrow as he looked at her.He felt no triumph in this moment. Harper had been the wife he carefully selected based on strict standards. The outcome was entirely his design, and yet, his heart felt heavy and tired.The one who suffered the most was Leon Everhart’s mother. From the day Harper entered their home until now, she had truly treated Harper like her own daughter.On Olivia’s wedding day, Mrs. Everhart overheard a guest comment, “That little Everhart boy looks so much like his uncle, but not at all like Mr. Leon Everhart.”When she turned back, she couldn’t figure out which guest had said it.The comment embedded itself in her mind like a nail. Once back home, she started holding the child daily, examining him closely but unable to shake her doubts.She didn’t dare sha

At one of Leon Everhart's construction sites, a strong wind caused a collapse, crushing a car. One person died on the spot, another was seriously injured, and several vehicles were damaged. Rumors about the accident spread like wildfire, with exaggerated claims that the Everhart family’s construction site had suffered a major catastrophe.Meanwhile, as time went on, it became increasingly difficult for the Henry family to extract money from Leon Everhart.As the saying goes: A gift of a peck of rice creates gratitude; a gift of a bushel of rice creates resentment.The Everhart family’s misfortune became a source of excitement for the Henry family. When Henry came to inquire, Leon deliberately exaggerated the accident’s severity. He noticed a fleeting smirk on Henry’s face and internally sneered: Back then, enticed by the 20% stake in the Henry family’s steel factory and believing Harper to be a virgin who bore my child, I let you into my life. I never imagined you’d cling to me like a

Seraphina Arden didn’t face the typical challenges of starting a business. With nearly a year of experience at Jerry's company under her belt, she was now handling everything with ease.Before decorating and setting up her office, Seraphina had already drafted detailed regulations, codes of conduct, and reward-and-punishment systems for the company.Having suffered through years of grueling overtime, Seraphina was adamant that employees should work efficiently during office hours and leave on time.Now, Seraphina truly understood Leon Everhart’s words about the importance of rules and order. If she relaxed her grip, people would become complacent. While she maintained her signature gentle demeanor most of the time, she had learned to rein in her emotions and, when necessary, show a colder side to get things done.Seraphina never thought she would one day understand Leon Everhart so deeply—let alone start resembling him.She treated Jerry’s former classmates to a meal and proposed a ne
