Aftermath Finished


    Lucius was secretly rmed when he observed Orion''s attitude. After he learned the truth, it was clear that Orion still cared for that woman.


    "Mr. Hyatt, I wanted to talk to you. Can we expand this three-way coboration into a four-way coboration?" he joked with Eden, trying to divert everyone''s attention. After all, Orion''s gossip wasn''t for everyone to witness.


    Everyone wisely continued mingling and drinking at the party.


    Eden wore a faint smile as he adjusted his gold-rimmed sses and firmly rejected, "No."


    Lucius asked, "Couldn''t you be a bit more diplomatic?"


    Eden hesitated and then repeated, "Sorry, no."


    Lucius was speechless. Forget it; I''ll go search for Orion.


    When he turned around, he found his buddy, who was standing there, had suddenly vanished.


    "Where did he go?" Lucius muttered to himself.


    Eden''s gaze subtly shifted to a certain spot downstairs. Then, he smiled and walked away.


    Meanwhile, in a quiet corner downstairs...


    Hansen was circling around Seraphina, pressing her about what happened before histe arrival.


    "Did Orion bully you? Why did Hannah use you of seducing him?"


    Seraphina rolled her eyes at him and said, "No, it was just an ident."


    It had to be an ident; otherwise, she couldn''t exin how it happened. No one would believe Orion did it on purpose. Hansen waved his fist and stated, "If he bullies you, I won''t let him get away with it."


    Seraphina nced around, not seeing Sivir. She asked, "Where''s my brother?"


    "He just went to the VIP lounge with Mr. Hyatt to discuss the business terms. Do you need to find him?" Hansen asked.


    Seraphina shook her head and said, "Nah, I don''t want to bother him."


    As she looked over her shoulder, she saw Orion walking towards them.


    What a coincidence! This man haunted her for the whole evening.


    Raising an eyebrow, Seraphina grabbed Hansen''s arm and pretended not to see Orion. She intended to leave. "Seraphina, we need to talk." Orion''s dark eyes were intense.

    "There''s nothing to talk abonn Seraphina didn''t stop. Her departing figure decisive, nor wanting any more entanglement with this man.


    It would simply be an apology, but apologies are the cheapest form of guilt.


    She didn''t need it.


    Hansen nced at Orion with a brazen smile spreading on his face as if mocking Orion''s current predicament.


    Look, even Orion has days like this!


    Lucius caught up with Orion. He followed Orion''s gaze towards Seraphina''s retreating figure. He clicked his tongue, advising, "Bro, you''ve divorced, so don''t regret it. It''s all part of that woman''s game." Orion shot him a cold look and asked, "Do I need you to teach me how to handle things?"


    Lucius felt a chill down his spine and dared not speak further.


    That woman humiliated Orion in front of everyone tonight. Although Hannah''s statement was indeed excessive, it was the woman herself who insisted on marrying Orion back then.Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Wasn''t it her own fault?


    Many people came to toast Seraphina as soon as she entered the room, possibly due to the influence of Cross Group or the evening''s atmosphere.


    She had attended the party to expand her social circle and gather information; because of this, she was happy to chat and return toasts. But she kept it moderate, and no one tried to force her to drink excessively. Throughout the evening, Hansen blocked many drinks for her, but she still felt a bit tipsy. She seized on an opportunity and slipped away to the restroom.


    After washing her face with cold water, she felt much better. Just as she was about to grab a tissue to dry her face, she heard Hannah''s voice approaching from outside.


    "I won''t let that b*tch off the hook. She had disgraced our family tonight, and she had been surrounded by so many men. She''s shameless!


    "Does she think she''s a career woman just because she climbed up the socialdder by manipting men? She doesn''t even know what she is."


    Hannah was ranting as she and her friend walked into the restroom. They saw Seraphina leaning against the sink, arms crossed, staring at her with a cold smile.
