The Power of the Crosses
Jennifer stood to the side, her tone dripping with sarcasm, as she watched the scene unfold.
"It seems that Mr. Dros is just another fool. Ms. Cross certainly doesn''tck men fawning over her." Seraphina''s gaze turned sharp, cutting into Jennifer.
"Jennifer, don''t be too quick to enjoy someone else''s downfall. You should worry about yourself." Before she even finished, Ken''s voice echoed with a hint of surprise.
"Mr. Dros, someone is here. It''s Mr. Sivir Cross and Mr. Colombo!"
The moment Jennifer heard Hansen''s name, her face turned ashen.
She red at Seraphina, her eyes full of fury.
"When did you call them here?"
Seraphina had always been under her watchful eye.
She hadn''t even had the chance to use her phone.
Seraphina raised an eyebrow. She waved her heels, then slipped them back on with a smooth, fluid motion.
She lifted her chin arrogantly.
"Do you know how expensive these heels are? Losing something worth 8 million isn''t the issue, but I need to know how it went missing."
The rm on her heel was directly linked to the Crosses'' surveince system.
How could the Crosses heiress leave home unprepared?
Jennifer was naive!
Sivir arrived quickly with his bodyguards, encircling the cepletely.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Hansen''s eyes turned red with fury as he took in the scene. He red exasperatedly at Jennifer.
His voice was cold and barely restrained as he addressed Seraphina.
"Did she hit you?"
Jennifer shivered at Hansen''s words.
The usually carefree, flirtatious Hansen now looked like he wanted to tear someone apart.
Jennifer''s years of perseverance and admiration seemed insignificant at that moment.
Her expression held a trace of hurt, but no one cared about her feelings.
The Power of the Crosses
"She doesn''t have what it takes,"
Both Hansen and Sivir felt a sense of relief at her words.
Sivir casts aplicated look at Orion.
If Seraphina hadn''t been in danger, she wouldn''t have triggered the rm.
Were those guys working for Orion or Jennifer?
"What brings Mr. Dros here?"
Orion''s face remained impassive as he looked at Seraphina, his expression dark.
Lucius quickly stepped forward and exined the situation once again. This time, more earnestly.
Ken chimed in, supporting his exnation.
Sivir withdrew his gaze. He was confident in Orion''s character that he wouldn''t harm a woman.
Which left Jennifer as the culprit.
He pondered momentarily, then turned to his sister.
"Seraphina, what do you n to do?"
Seraphina raised an eyebrow.
"Finish what Ms. Perez started. Just take a few photos of her. If Ms. Perez cooperates, she will avoid unnecessary pain. Jennifer''s head shot up, her eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
How dare Seraphina do that to her in front of Hansen?
She was the renowned businesswoman of go, celebrated as a role model-and now being insulted like this? "Seraphina, you wouldn''t dare!"
"Why wouldn''t I?"
Seraphina asked casually.
"The Perez Group won''t let you off, and the entire businessmunity in go will turn against you!"
Seraphina sneered, but she didn''t have to respond-Sivir couldn''t help but scowl at the remarks.
"Using yourpany to intimidate my sister? You''re too confident! The presidency of the go Business Council should change hands soon. I trust that the state and Valorian governments will make the right choice." Sivir''s words sent Jennifer into a sudden realization, her face turning pale.

hard work.
Hansen, who had been lounging casually, was growing impatient.
"Enough talk; let''s do as Seraphina said and get those photos."
It was as if Jennifer''s dignity was insignificant in his eyes.
"I can''t bear to watch this. I''m out."
Seraphina muttered with a light scoff, strutting off in her high heels, her silhouette graceful andmanding.
She didn''t need to worry about what came next-Sivir''s men would handle it.
Naturally, Hansen followed close behind, not letting her out of his sight.
