How Did He Get Here?
In the hotel lounge, Seraphina, Olivia, and Sarah were touching up their makeup.
There were no outsiders present, so they were at ease.
Seraphina nced at the table covered in various jewelry. The brilliant sparkle under the lights exuded ant unmistakable aura of wealth. It was a magnificent sight to behold. A simple yet exquisitely elegant ck gown perfectly entuated Seraphina''s figure. Her fair skin is almost glowing in contrast.
Her beauty was striking, with an air of calm and unattainable sophistication. Despite theck of excessive essories, she stood there radiating an extraordinary elegance. Olivia and Sarah gazed in awe at the collection of diamond jewelry Emeris had sent over.
Seraphina''s father wanted to bring everything he had for her.
They had never seen such extravagance.
Seraphina stood by and tried on rings one by one. The white diamonds were pure and clear; the pink diamonds were charmingly cute, and the ck diamonds were rare and precious. She adorned all ten fingers with diamond rings and sighed in regret.
She turned to the other two, wiggling her jewelden fingers.
"It''s a pity I can''t wear all of them out. I love each one so much."
Olivia was speechless.
Sarah was equally at a loss for words.
Did the rich have to be this over-the-top?
Seraphina looked at her reflection in the mirror and was satisfied with her appearance.
In the end, she selected a couple of rings and wore several on two of her fingers.

That look was beyondvish.
Frugality was never her style.
Instead, the design felt rich with elegance and sophistication.
She nailed the look with her aura.
Olivia and Sarah gave her a thumbs up in approval.
"Let''s go."

Outside, a team of bodyguards had surrounded the room, making it impossible for anyone to enter.
A group of them nked Seraphina as they moved, their imposing presence shielding her in the center.
The sound of their synchronized footsteps echoed. It was a testament to their rigorous training
The staircase connected the two levels.
As Seraphina entered the grand hall, which was illuminated by brilliant lights, she immediately caught everyone''s attention.
Her stunning beauty and cool demeanor made it impossible for anyone to look away.
She smiled faintly, and the grace in her expression seemed innate.
Emeris wore a proud expression as he approached to escort her down the stairs.
Her second brother, Sergio Cross, hadn''t shown up at the party, but Seraphina had already received a bank card from him as a gift.
Sivir and Justin stood on either side. Their tall, handsome figures draw many admiring nces.
Why did this family have such perfect genes?
They make everyone envious of their good looks.
Emeris smiled as he picked up a ss of wine from a nearby server and gave a beginning speech.
"Thank you all foring to celebrate my daughter''s birthday. In all my years, the achievement I''m most proud of isn''t founding Cross Group, but having a precious daughter." He had poured all his love into Seraphina.
He never showed them his full level of affection, regardless of how strict or carefree he raised them.
On the contrary, he openly practices favoritism toward Seraphina
During the three years she was away, he hadn''t had a single restful night.
He feared she wasn''t doing well and that she might be mistreated.
He even feared she was doing too well and might never want toe home.
His voice paused. Seraphina knew what Emeris was thinking, and her eyes moistened slightly.
Her clear gaze swept across the room, and she noticed Orion standing in the crowd.
By simply standing there, that man exuded nobility and charisma that were impossible to ignore.
He was a natural leader, dominating any space he upied.
His gaze also met Seraphina''s. Orion took in her stunning presence; it was something he had witnessed many times before.

Emeris finished his speech, and the guests came forward to offer their congrattions on Seraphina''s birthday. Seraphina handled it all with grace and poise.
Olivia and Sarah approached her. Before they could rx, they saw Orion striding over with amanding presence.
When Orion stopped before Seraphina, he didn''t wait for her to speak and went straight to the point. "I''ve prepared three gifts for you. Would Ms. Cross lik
