Mr. Sterling, Mrs. Sterling is Multifaceted!-Chapter 312: Am I Good to Seraphina Redgrave?

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Am I Good to Seraphina Redgrave?

"When someone had no house to live in, she would stay up helping them build a shelter. If someone caught an infectious disease, she organized everyone for isolation until that person got better. If anyone tried to vent their frustrations on the weak, she’d beat them until they dared not bully others again."

Hector Shaw slowly recounted the events that happened on Veridian Isle, memories drifting back with his words, "This is how she survived on Noctis Isle. Seraphina Redgrave is the most unique girl I’ve ever met. To survive, she almost gave her all, yet it seemed as if she cared little for her own life while doing those things. When I first arrived at Veridian Isle, there was already some organization, many people followed Seraphina, and she was everything to them."

"..."

Ethan Sterling still glared viciously at him, but the hand gripping the knife gradually loosened its strength.

"Mr. Sterling, if you were to estimate, how much effort do you think Seraphina had to expend to reach where she is today? After suffering so many injuries, did she ever consider giving up?" Hector Shaw asked him.

"..."

Ethan Sterling felt as if his blood was freezing.

"..."

Nathan Ayers and the bodyguards waited outside the pavilion, naturally hearing everything.

None of them knew anything about what Seraphina had been through.

She had never spoken about it herself, and judging by Young Master Sterling’s reaction, he probably never asked her.

"At that time, I was on the brink of death, the tendons in my arms and legs severed, and I could say I had lost the will to live, but Seraphina appeared. She gave me the best food she could find at that time and gathered various herbs to treat my injuries. At midnight, she constantly watched over me, fearing I might not think straight and take my own life."

Hector Shaw wiped his neck with his hand, which came away covered in blood.

He looked at the blood, unsure of what came to mind, and slightly curled his lips, "She once told me, even if dignity is lost, you mustn’t think of dying. Only by striving to live can you reclaim your dignity. Dying like that would leave you with even less dignity."

"..."

"That was when I clearly understood Seraphina Redgrave’s pride; she wanted dignity for herself and to help all the people of Veridian Isle reclaim theirs as well."

Hector Shaw said, slowly raising his head to meet Ethan Sterling’s eyes, "Yet, the things she persisted in for so long, which even death couldn’t change, were abandoned because of you."

"..."

"And you, as the president of Sterling Group, greedily wish to control her in your palm, just to satisfy your desire for control. The most laughable thing is, you dress it up as a kind of favoritism." Hector Shaw laughed, "Don’t you find this absurd?"

"Mr. Shaw, mind your tone when speaking to Young Master Sterling!"

Nathan Ayers couldn’t help but warn. In the past, anyone daring to speak such words would have already been dragged out and executed.

But now, Ethan Sterling just stood there, expressionless, his amber eyes devoid of light, warning people not to delve deeper.

"Did I say anything wrong?" Hector Shaw retorted, but his eyes still locked onto the man before him, "Do you still think you saved her? Let me tell you, if she had died at The Directorate, at least until death, she retained her dignity. But now, she’s abandoned all her beliefs, staying by your side like a pet."

"Shut up!"

Ethan Sterling roared, his eyes filled with a murderous glare.

"..."

Nathan Ayers was starting to sweat for Hector Shaw.

Why was Hector Shaw courting death here? If he died at Young Master Sterling’s hands, how would they explain it to the lady?

Yet Hector Shaw cared nothing for the coming consequences; instead of closing his mouth, he pressed forward a step.

"Ethan Sterling, I’m telling you plainly, if you don’t allow her to gain her freedom to fulfill her past aspirations, then the person you see your entire life will never be the real Seraphina Redgrave, although you might not care."

"Hector Shaw!"

Nathan Ayers was truly anxious, pulling out a gun and pointing it at Hector Shaw’s head.

It couldn’t be blamed on Young Master Sterling entirely; it was Hector Shaw’s betrayal that led to everything afterward.

The lady willingly chose to remain in the villa her whole life, so how could Young Master Sterling be blamed?

Ethan Sterling stood in front of him, amber eyes now bloodshot, staring at Hector Shaw, lips pressed tightly together.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Get lost."

"Ethan Sterling, you!"

"I said, get lost!" he shouted hysterically, "How I live with my own woman is none of your business, so now, get out!"

As the words fell, a few bodyguards signaled, stepping forward to restrain Hector Shaw, forcibly dragging him out.

Hector Shaw wanted to resist but, faced with guns, he had no choice but to give up.

The crashing sound of the waterfall was loud, like noise.

Ethan Sterling stood there alone, eyes looking into the distance, gaze falling into nowhere.

Just standing there, motionless.

...

The air in the villa was pristine, filled with the fragrances of flowers and the chirping of birds.

In such an environment, one naturally felt cheerful.

Nanny Lynch was by the flowerbed, trimming the overgrown branches, when she suddenly saw a figure approaching—Ethan Sterling.

"Young Master Sterling."

Nanny Lynch hastily put away her tools, greeting Ethan Sterling.

Ethan Sterling passed by her without any expression, then suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped, "Nanny Lynch."

This address made Nanny Lynch’s heart skip a beat.

"Yes, Young Master Sterling."

She didn’t know why, but she felt the current Young Master Sterling was quite terrifying.

She had no choice but to psych herself up. Ever since the lady appeared, Young Master Sterling seemed to have changed, no longer as ruthless as before, so surely this time was nothing, he just wanted to ask about the lady’s situation.

"Am I good to Seraphina Redgrave?"

Ethan Sterling asked flatly.

The question seemed a bit nonsensical, and Nanny Lynch didn’t react immediately, but she still answered, "Of course, very well. You spoil her now as if she sits atop your heart, afraid she’ll melt in your mouth, break in your hands. When she suffered, you did everything to rush back from abroad, knowing she’s hurt, you even have Dr. Goodwin examine her first. Moreover, you built an amusement park just for her to pass the time."

These words Nanny Lynch spoke with sincerity, based on her observations during this period, Young Master Sterling pampered the lady like she was in heaven, like those online sayings, as if the ’ship’ she was rooting for was always full of sweet moments.
