Who was Orion to dwell on something so insignificant? And to go out of his way to explain it? In his mind, he replayed the look she gave him that night-full of distrust.
It felt like a dagger was stabbing into his heart.
For the first time, he experienced the helplessness of not being trusted.
She had pushed him out of her world, refusing to believe anything he said.
Seraphina's back stiffened slightly as she turned away.
She recalled the investigation Thomas had been working on and decided to set everything else aside.

Orion's attitude and explanations seemed absurdly unnecessary.
"Mr. Dros, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. It's in the past now." Seraphina smiled faintly and walked away.
The plagiarism scandal had already been confirmed. Anthony had lost his reputation.
The person who stole the chip was one of Anthony's young lovers-a recent intern at Giant Group and a classmate of Grace. She had been taken to the police station.
The Lacuna branch had already begun the bankruptcy process.
Alexander wasn't willing to give up so easily. He kept coming to Cross Group, refusing to leave, demanding to see Emeris.
"How dare you do this to me? I'm a family too!" Seraphina was in her office and enjoying dessert. She was irritated by the commotion, and even the dessert had lost its taste.
Thomas noticed her annoyance.

Seraphina glanced at the photos she had acquired from Lacuna on her computer. Her expression darkened.

"I thought you were hiding and too scared to face me. Seraphina, how can you be so heartless!" Alexander appeared unshaven and disheveled. He looked like he hadn't taken care of himself. He must have been too preoccupied with anxiety these past few days.
Seraphina poured him a cup of tea and placed it on the table.
"Uncle Alexander, I have sbad news for you." Alexander froze.

All the real estate, bonds, and stocks under your nhave been sold off. The money you were supposed to compensate your business partners was all gone." Alexander hadn't even sat down. His body stiffened at the revelation, and he began to cough violently, his face turning beet red.
"You... you're lying!" Seraphina projected the photos from her computer onto the wall, making sure he could see them clearly.
"While you were here causing a scene, your lover and daughter fled with the money, taking off with that husband of hers. Uncle Alexander, how could you have let your guards down toward the strangers?" Alexander's face turned ashen. His bloodshot eyes were filled with malice as he stared at the photos on the wall.
Those three had deceived him. His lover and daughter had sweet talked him every day and had him wrapped around their fingers.
And in the photos, those two were now supporting a hunchbackedm middle-aged man as they sneaked away, their silhouettes evoking sinister thoughts. He was no stranger to the man.
After Seraphina's birthday party, he had someone investigate him.
That man was Flora's husband and Grace's father.
