This Isn''t Your Turf
Orion''s eyes gleamed with a cold fury-a suppressed rage that hinted at a deep, murderous intent.
Lucius knew well that it had been years since Orion took action himself. The look in his eyes was enough to make even the bravest shudder with fear. "Jennifer, do you really think you''re that important? Do you want to lose that littlepany of yours?"
Orion''s voice was icy and ruthless.
When he saw Seraphina standing barefoot and confronted with three malicious figures, a flicker of panic and fear shed through his heart.
More than anything, a wave of uncontroble anger surged within him.
He had endured the most brutal darkness, but Seraphina was pure and untarnished. He wouldn''t allow anyone to corrupt her.N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
Orion couldn''t bear to imagine what would happen if Seraphina were to lose the fight.
His bloodshot eyes fixed on Jennifer with a deathly stare.
Whether to cooperate or not was entirely his decision. He owed no debt or reparation.
What right did Jennifer have to negotiate with him?
Orion had spent so long in the legitimate business world that he seemed to have forgotten how he had once wed his way out of the mire of darkness.
In that moment, the situation triggered the deepest, darkest secrets buried within him.
Jennifer''s face froze as her ns to negotiate vanished in an instant.
The business world was filled with tales about Orion-legends that had never ceased.
Jennifer thought she was on equal footing with Orion, but that was just her delusion.
The Perez Group might be powerful in go, but here in Eldoria, it was nothing but an antpared to the Dros Group.
She nced at Seraphina with unwillingness. She let out a wicked smile and spoke in a cold and harsh voice.
"Ms. Cross is truly lucky. Even after a divorce, Mr. Dros is still so protective of you. You must have some impressive tricks up your sleeve. But next time, you might not be so lucky..." Seraphina lowered her gaze, hiding the ridicule in her eyes. At that moment, she was all sharp edges.
Did Jennifer really think there would be a next time? How naive!
Seraphina stood there throughout, never once ncing at Orion.
His intervention was of no interest to her.

Hearing Jennifer''s words, Seraphina couldn''t help but raise her eyes. Her indifferent gaze swept across
everyone present.
Finally, her cold stare settled on Orion.
"Tonight''s little drama was unexpectedly entertaining, but...
She paused, her tone light andzy.
"The performance was a failure."
The atmosphere instantly grew tense. The chill in the air was so palpable that breathing itself became a cautious act.
Orion''s cold eyes reflected a hint of surprise as he turned to look at her.
Seraphina met his gaze with casual indifference.
Their eyes met. He saw the distrust buried in her gaze.
His heart sank, as if someone had stabbed him with a knife.
"You think I asked Jennifer to do this?" He asked.
Orion narrowed his eyes and sharpened his gaze.
Seraphina remained silent and let out a cold smile.
Her silence said it all.
Beside him, Lucius couldn''t help but shiver as the cold seemed to grow more intense.
What the heck is going on?
"Otherwise, why would you be the one who showed up."
Seraphina had finished, and the air around them was getting colder.
Lucius quickly stepped forward to exin.
"It''s a misunderstanding. This has nothing to do with Orion. We were leaving when Orion said he wanted to speak with you, but he couldn''t find you. The valet pointed us in this direction, so we followed. He gave Ken a look. Ken nodded immediately.
"Yes, Ms. Cross, that''s exactly what happened."
Seraphina lowered her eyes slightly, as if pondering the credibility of their words.
She let out a soft, coldugh.
"So, then, I should be thanking you?"
She had almost dealt with the trouble herself. What good was his arrival?

If Seraphina hadn''t intervened in that project, Orion would have been willing to share such a big pic with Jennifer.
Are they denying any involvement? Who would believe that?
Orion''s face darkened visibly.
