    The Bombshell


    As soon as Emeris finished speaking, the room fell silent. Everyone felt they had been thunderstruck.


    Simultaneously, the screens of all viewers watching the live broadcast-on their phones,puters, and the massive electronic billboards in Times Square-shed Seraphina''s photo.


    Emeris wanted the entire world to know that Seraphina was his daughter.


    He had seeded.


    Everyone present disyed expressions of disbelief.


    Ramona stood at the forefront, her face turning pale with shock, suspicion, and a hint of regret.


    Orion stood there. His expression was stunned and conflicted.


    Hannah and Theresa were far lessposed. Theresa broke the silence; her voice was agitated. "Impossible! She''s just a penniless orphan!"


    "Shut up!" Ramona snapped, and his face darkened with rage.


    Emeris had personally admitted it-how could he lie? This must be the truth.

    Her stature was incredibly prestigious.


    The Droses fell silent. After Emeris''s public deration, they realised it was pointless to question Seraphina''s identity.


    All of the previous online usations and insults directed at her suddenly seemed powerless.


    A gold-digging seductress?


    She herself belonged to the world''s most prominent family!


    In that instant, the entire room erupted as if a bomb had gone off. Even the media reporters were

    Some quickly recovered from their shock and turned their gaze to Sivir.

    For the longest time, people believed that Sivir was the rightful heir to Cross Group.


    When his father publicly dered Seraphina as his heir,
