Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 269: Seraphina Can’t Be Saved

After that, they tried to get closer to Ethan Sterling and thought of many ways to deal with those servants.

Afterwards, Ethan’s sister left, leaving this world forever.

Without his sister, Ethan seemed to become a different person—gloomy and terrifying, devoid of the warmth of a normal person, and at the same time, incredibly lonely.

Later, Miles Harrington was re-accepted by his family, and only Nathan Ayers remained by Ethan’s side until the year before last when Young Master Sterling, holding a gun, stormed into Ryan Sterling’s room, demanding he hand over the Sterling Family’s power.

The history of the Sterling Family and even the entire nation of Z was rewritten.

Now, hearing Miles Harrington recount the past, Nathan Ayers realized that he wasn’t the only one who understood Ethan Sterling’s suffering; Miles Harrington did as well.

Nathan Ayers’s gaze was no longer as firm as before; Miles Harrington knew his psychological defenses had been breached a bit, and his expression improved slightly. Then he showed Nathan a document, "Nathan, take a look at this."

Nathan picked up the document and flipped through it. The first few pages were screenshots from today’s news.

The whole situation had only unfolded in just over an hour, but various unfavorable news about Seraphina Redgrave kept emerging, all slandering her.

There were also old news stories about Veridian Isle, reminding everyone of how evil and criminal the fugitives from Veridian Isle were.

Ethan turned a couple more pages and clearly saw surveillance video screenshots of Seraphina Redgrave meeting with Zachary Zane.

Then there were photos of Seraphina Redgrave smashing a bottle on Young Master Finn’s head, and the photos of the slashed corpses of Young Master Finn and Melody Lockwood.

These photos were crystal clear, undeniable.

The news text directly criticized Seraphina Redgrave as a villain of the worst kind, the embodiment of the bloodthirsty and brutal nature of Veridian Isle people.

Thus, people from Veridian Isle must never be released!

"..."

This had only been just over an hour.

How could such a detailed news report have been written?

Leaving no room for rebuttal.

Nathan’s fingers turned white from exertion as he continued to read the following pages, which were filled with online comments demanding the immediate execution of Seraphina Redgrave, cursing her ancestors.

Some cried out for justice for Young Master Finn and Melody Lockwood, wanting her to pay with her life.

But Young Master Finn’s death was hardly a loss.

"How could this happen? This must be someone meticulously orchestrating everything from behind the scenes!" Nathan finally responded, "It’s a trap set specially for Miss Redgrave!"

Could it be Mia Redgrave?

No, she doesn’t have the capability.

But then who else could orchestrate such an elaborate scheme?

"Yes, it’s indeed a scheme. The person who handed me the anonymous report is the mastermind behind this."

Miles Harrington slowed his speech, "But does it still matter who the mastermind is? Seraphina Redgrave is indeed a fugitive from Veridian Isle, everyone clearly saw her electronic ankle bracelet, and now countless moguls and government officials are waiting for my decision. They all want to know how I’ll handle this situation!"

Miles Harrington sighed helplessly, "But most importantly, you need to tell me, Seraphina Redgrave is someone that Ethan absolutely cannot lose."

This was the most difficult issue he had encountered since taking up his position.

"What have you decided?"

Nathan’s rationality returned, and he could understand Miles Harrington’s dilemma.

Miles didn’t speak, his mind working rapidly. After a moment, he finally said, "Nathan, I need to tell you in advance, she’s not going to stay."

"She" was naturally referring to Seraphina Redgrave.

"What?" Nathan exclaims angrily, "Then I’ll tell you in advance, if Miss Redgrave dies, there’s no point for us to continue living, we don’t even have to wait for Young Master Sterling to act."

Finding a rope and hanging ourselves might even be quicker.

Of course, Miles Harrington understood as well, "Then you tell me what we should do? If we don’t move against Seraphina Redgrave, who can ensure that she will keep every bit of Veridian Isle’s secrets forever?"

"..."

Nathan doesn’t know how to answer.

"Give me a plan to explain to all the moguls and officials, or how else can I protect her?"

Miles Harrington was really at his wit’s end, "Do you have a way to ensure Ethan will keep her locked away forever? Make her confess everything she knows, never speak of Veridian Isle again, resign from the Law Council, abandon the Defiance Society, never leave the Hibiscus Garden, and stay there for the rest of her life."

"..."

Nathan was stunned, knowing that it was absolutely impossible.

And doing so, how is it any different from forcing Seraphina Redgrave to her death? 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"If Ethan could really achieve all these things, then let him come back, let him appease all the moguls and officials, and let him provide something as a guarantee, but something once lost, Ethan would never have a chance to rise again."

Miles Harrington analyzed, his tone extremely bitter.

He looked straight at Nathan, watching him fall silent, then he laughed, "There’s no solution, right? Seraphina Redgrave is a ruthless force, she has climbed this high in such a short time, applying to become a council member, winning people’s hearts, she’s extremely smart and plans carefully. For someone like her, to let her die of old age in Hibiscus Garden, watching Veridian Isle continue to rot, it might be better to just let her die."

"..."

Nathan genuinely didn’t know what to say anymore.

"Even if she really agrees to give up everything to stay alive in Hibiscus Garden for safety, with Ethan guaranteeing her, what if one day she changes her mind? What will Ethan do then?"

Miles laid out everything plainly, leaving Nathan to decide, "Ethan is currently blinded by love, he’s willing, are you? Are you willing to watch Ethan head toward complete ruin?"

"..."

Nathan was also in a state of panic, what was he supposed to do?

"Nathan, I’ve cut off all of Ethan’s paths back home, for his own future’s sake. I need to help him maintain Sterling’s control and everything he currently possesses."

Miles Harrington’s words carried a persuasive force, "Have you considered, if Ethan returns and risks everything to protect Seraphina Redgrave, all the moguls and officials will oppose him, and at home, there’s still Ryan Sterling constantly watching him. Do you truly believe Ethan can retain his power and status under such circumstances?"

Nathan closed his eyes, his throat dry, "Young Master Sterling has already weighed the pros and cons, and he..."

"So what? Does that make it acceptable for him to act recklessly?"

Miles Harrington interrupted directly, "Nathan, you should know what Ethan has sacrificed to gain everything he has now. Do you really want it all to be jeopardized for one woman?"
