Chapter 531 The Old Man Is Going to Regret This

Orion's eyes darkened, his expression shifting into something more intense.

It all stemmed from that one comment.

But soon, a smug grin appeared on his face, as if he had control over the situation.

"Well, he's going to be disappointed. Kavel's been seeing someone lately. He's completely infatuated."

Seraphina paused, surprised. She hadn't expected that, and she quickly realized how Orion had expertly steered the conversation away from the original topic.

Her curiosity was piqued.

"Who is she?"

Orion answered without hesitation. "Lucius's ex-wife. That troublesome woman."

Seraphina's face immediately tensed, her expression turning serious.

This situation had just become more tangled than she'd imagined.

Her mind raced with conflicting thoughts.

Kaveh and Lila were both single-nothing unusual there.

But Lila had been hurt before, and now she was falling for Kaveh, a notorious heartbreaker. If she let herself get too attached, the second heartbreak would be far worse than the first.

And as for Kaveh, wasn't Lucius going to beat him up for this?

"Do you want to leave now?" Orion's voice broke through her thoughts, calling her back to the present.

Seraphina snapped back to reality. "Of course. And if Mr. Ramona pulls this stunt again, I won't hesitate. Just because he's old doesn't mean I should let him walk all over me. This is the first time I've had to deal with someone like him, so I won't let him push me around." Orion nodded seriously. "You don't need to be polite. I'll back you up."

After speaking, he reached out to lift Seraphina.

Thomas hesitated, opening his mouth as if to speak, but he ultimately remained where he was, not daring to interfere.

He trusted that Qrion wouldn't harm Seraphina, and as her assistant, Thomas still couldn't figure out what she truly felt about him.

If he stopped Orion, Seraphina would likely be upset with him.

On top of that, Orion might turn against him!

Thomas stayed frozen, but Seraphina acted quickly. Without a second thought, she jabbed an elbow into Orion's ribs, forcing him back.

"What are you doing?!" she snapped, glaring at him.

Orion seemed momentarily taken aback. "You're injured, so I thought I'd help."

Seraphina rolled her eyes, leaning on her cane as she made her way out on her own. She wasn't going to fall for his attempts to take advantage of her.

Is he trying to make me reliant on him with these small gestures?

As Seraphina walked out, Orion's expression hardened

"Ken, get the shareholders together. We need to have a meeting."

Ken nodded, recognizing the impending shake-up at the Dros Group.

At the Crosses' villa.

When Seraphina returned home, she asked the driver to drop Thomas off before coming back to the villa.

She strolled leisurely around the garden, her cane tapping lightly on the ground.

Benjamin watched her, his face full of concern.

"Ms. Cross, why do you keep pushing yourself like this?

Seraphina offered a small, knowing smile. "The doctor said I need to get more exercise."

"But the floor's slippery. Why don't we go to the living room? It's warmer there," Benjamin suggested.`

Seraphina considered it for a moment before agreeing, following him inside.

Just before they reached the door, the sounds of laughter and conversation drifted through the air. "Sarah?" she called out.

Sarah's voice answered from the kitchen. "Seraphina, Mr. Emeris is cooking today...

Seraphina raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Really?"

Emeris had recently passed on Justin the cooking duties, so his involvement was unusual.

Emeris walked out, smiling. "How did the meeting go?"

Seraphina chuckled softly. "The deal didn't go through because the person who showed up wasn't a business partner it was Mr. Ramona!"

Emeris's face immediately darkened.

"What?" he asked, his voice sharp with disbelief.

Seraphina quickly explained the situation.

losing his temper in his own home.

Emeris, however, wasn't so restrained. He grabbed a spatula, threw on an apron, and stormed off.

"That old man is going to regret this!"
