Clarity (The Seductors #3.5) Read Online Free PDF

that?”
    “She has every right. Jade isn’t a Seductor anymore.” Imogen’s eyes widened as I continued. “She works for the Government, monitoring them instead. You realize that with the information we have on you, you could be looking at a long stretch in prison , don’t you ?”
    Crossing her arms, she spoke. “What do you want?”
    “If you make any attempt to come near Jade or my company ever again, I will take action! I can’t believe your nerve!”
    “You’re threatening me ?” Taking a step toward me, Imogen’s rage began to show. I’d seen it all before. “What gives you the fucking right to tell me what to do?” Jade was suddenly standing in front of me in a protective stance.  
    “Oliver is too much of a gentleman to hurt you, but I can promise you, if you take one more step, I won’t hesitate to take you down, you deceitful bitch!” I had to hide my amusement as I watched Imogen’s stunned face. Jade was intimidating, that was for sure.  
    “I’m not threatening you, Imogen. I’m simply giving you a warning. A partnership between the two of us is never going to happen, so you need to let it go. If you don’t, then I’ll have no choice but to destroy you and your company. You’re playing a very dangerous game, and it ends right now !”  
    “What other choice do I have but to agree?” she spat, taking a step back.
    “I need to know who your inside source was? How did you learn about the power core and machine?”
    “I’ve known about the machine and core for years. Oh, didn’t your father tell you? I paid him a visit before he got so sick? The poor man, he was so confused and didn’t realize who I was. He told me everything . How the core had been volatile, but that since you’d taken over the company you’d found the right scientist to do the research for it. That it would only take a few years to complete. I’ve been patiently waiting ever since. Just biding my time.”
    “No!” Pain sliced through me. It wasn’t my father's fault—he did it because of his illness— but for Imogen to use him like that when he was sick, I couldn’t control myself. Jade touched my arm, trying to calm me. I was losing my shit. When it came to my father or her, I couldn't help it.
    “Your father betrayed you, Oliver. How does that feel?”
    “He didn’t know what he was doing. You used him!”  
    “Maybe you should think about putting him down before he lets anything else slip. He’s clearly becoming a problem for you and your company.” Before I could even think to react, Jade was right in front of Imogen again, pushing her harshly.
    “I’ll tell you what the problem is, Ms. Windom. You are the problem!  Evil, sick, twisted women like you shouldn’t have any kind of power. I’ve seen your kind over and over again. All you see are dollar signs. Your greed consumes you. It takes away your ability to even think of the lives you could destroy by your actions. Oliver might not threaten you, but I certainly will. You don’t scare me! You stay away from him! If I find out you are up to your old tricks again, I’ll take you out myself. You know what I’m capable of, and I can promise that you won't see me coming until it’s too late. If you value your life, you better stay the fuck away from us!” My mouth hung open slightly. I was more than turned on by her protective speech. As Jade towered over her, Imogen trembled. Jade was the most remarkable woman I had ever known. “Did you want to add anything else, Oliver?” She turned to smile at me.
    “No, Sweetheart, I think you covered everything,” I chuckled.
    “I’ll be watching you, Bitch,” Jade warned before spinning on her heels and heading back toward me. She pecked me on the lips quickly before speaking again. “Are we going now?”
    “Yes, I think we’re done. Goodbye, Imogen. Any further form of communication between us can be done through our lawyers. I never want to set eyes on you ever again!” She was still
