Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 436

Chapter 436: You totally deserved it

Corvine knew better than almost anyone that Seraphine never saw problems the same way everybody else did. Her mind just worked on a whole different level.

While most people zeroed in on the most obvious fix, she had this incredible way of spotting paths nobody else had even dreamed of. And more often than not, her ideas ended up blowing everyone else’s out of the water.

That’s exactly why Voren was dying to hear what she was cooking up this time.

Corvine was just as hooked. He stayed quiet, watching her closely and waiting for her to lay it out.

Seraphine leaned against the yacht’s railing, her eyes following the gentle waves as they rolled across the endless ocean and softly crashed against the boat.

The peaceful rhythm almost made her jealous. How she wished real life could feel that simple and calm.

After a long moment, she finally broke the silence. "You know, Jasmine actually did an amazing job."

Both men listened without jumping in.

"She made Coco believe she’d finally found someone on the inside." A faint smile played across her lips. "That’s exactly what we needed."

Her expression turned serious again. "But if Jasmine never actually gives her anything useful, Coco’s gonna figure out she’s been played."

She let out a slow breath. "And the second that happens, she’ll start hunting for somebody else to spy on me."

Just thinking about it made everything feel way more complicated. Taking another deep breath, Seraphine kept her gaze fixed on the vast ocean. "Corvine, go get Jasmine for me."

Without asking a single question, Corvine headed over to another table where Jasmine was sitting with Madison, Einstein, and Esperanza. The four of them were chatting easily while Esperanza happily dug into yet another dessert.

Corvine leaned in close and whispered something in Jasmine’s ear. She looked surprised for a second but quickly stood up and followed him back.

The moment she arrived, Seraphine looked at her with calm confidence. "I need you to call Coco right now."

Jasmine looked at her, confused, until Seraphine laid out the plan.

"When she picks up, tell her I’ve been traveling nonstop lately but I’ll be back in a few days." Seraphine didn’t miss a beat. "Then let her know that as soon as I’m back, you’ll plant the camera in my office."

Jasmine blinked hard, a million questions flooding her mind. Wasn’t the whole point to shut Coco down? Why were they suddenly giving her hope instead?

Still, she trusted Seraphine completely, so she kept her mouth shut. If Sera had a plan, there had to be a good reason behind it.

Quietly pulling out her phone, Jasmine dialed Coco’s number and activated the speaker.

Coco answered almost instantly. "Jasmine," she said, her voice dripping with obvious excitement. "I knew you wouldn’t let me down."

Jasmine suddenly felt a wave of nerves hit her. Her fingers tightened around the phone so hard it almost hurt. For a split second she nearly tripped over her own words.

Seraphine noticed right away and gave her a reassuring nod. That small gesture was enough to steady her.

"I’ve been trying to find the perfect moment," Jasmine explained, sounding totally natural. "Sera’s been traveling like crazy these past few days, so I haven’t had a chance to get into her office."

She swallowed before continuing. "But she’ll be back in a few days. The second she does, I’ll plant the camera."

There was a short pause on the other end. Then Coco let out a soft, satisfied laugh. "Good."

She sounded completely pleased. "I wanted it done sooner, but I can wait a little longer." Her voice turned warmer, almost sweet. "And once it’s done, I’ll make you a star, Jasmine."

Jasmine scoffed internally before responding. "I understand."

The second the call ended, she dropped the phone like it was burning her hand.
