Seraphina let out a subtle smile.
Her demeanor was cold and reserved.
"Mrs. Colombo, I don''t quite understand what you mean. How could you miss out on me gifting you this painting?"
Monica brushed her hair aside with disdain.
She looked at Seraphina without a trace of warmth or courtesy.
"I know this painting is fake. It''s a poor imitation."
Seraphina''s smile froze slightly.
Their eyes locked for several seconds.
Finally, Seraphina looked away.
It''s a painting worth a billion dors, but she ims it''s not even worth a million dors.
She called that a cheap knockoff?
What a strange feeling...
How could I even describe it?
Seraphina lowered her head, slowly letting out a cold grin.
"Is that so? You think it''s fake?"
Her tone was casual and almost amusing.
"Seraphina, our families have been close for generations. Although your mother passed away early, you and Hansen haye always been on good terms and kept in touch. But don''t think you can fool me ... Monica spoke calmly. She was suppressing her anger and trying to maintain herposure.
The mention of herte mother made Seraphina''s heart tighten.
Her eyes narrowed slightly.
A faint smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
"If you don''t like the painting, I''ll take it back. I certainly don''t want you to feel cheated."
She is mistaking gold for dirt!
Why have these socialites never managed to match their wealth with their taste?
Seraphina stood up and was ready to leave.

"And one more thing, Seraphina-stay away from my son."
Seraphina was slightly taken aback by that warning.
This was the second time she''d heard this warning.
She heard that for the first time from Theresa before she married Orion.
And now, it wasing from Hansen''s mother?
She turned back to Monica, whose expression remained impassive.
The warmth and familiarity she once showed Seraphina now seemed like a facade.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
Seraphina felt a chill in her heart. She had always regarded Monica as a respected elder.
Who would''ve thought...
She forced a smile.
"Mrs. Colombo, is this a warning?"

"You can see that as a warning. Hansen worked hard to take over thepany, but he squandered 5 billion on that piece ofnd for your sake. He got a good beating and nearly got kicked off the board. Did you know that?" Seraphina was stunned. She thought she had salvaged the situation just in time.
She had no idea Hansen was in such trouble.
Seraphina frowned at the realization.
"If you two were together from the start, I wouldn''t have objected. However, you recently went through a divorce and have consistently been the subject of controversy. With so many suitors, Hansen is thest person you should be with, don''t you agree?" Seraphina was enraged that she let out a bitterugh.
Monica might as well have just called her unworthy of her precious son! Why beat around the bush?
She nced toward the kitchen, where Jennifer was standing, and then toward Hansen.
He stood at a distance and looked impatient.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she seemed to understand something.
Was she being pushed out of the picture?
"It seems like your family has already chosen a suitable match for Hansen. And now you''re clearing the obstacles from his path?"
Monica grasped what she meant and didn''t deny it.
Seraphina scorned, "Ms. Perez is capable, gentle, and quite attractive. Most importantly, she has a decent and inspiring hackground. There''s no one more suitable for a daughter-inw than hert"

Seraphina gazed down at Monica, who sat there with an elegant posture, but in reality, she was a goody-two-shoes.
"You''re right, we aren''t a formidable match. After all, foolishness can be inherited through generations."
