Calling the Parents
The next day in the Dros Group''s office, Ken knocked and entered the
ulice.
He nced at Orion, who was sitting there, exuding a cold and stern aura. Orion hadn''t been in a good mood these past few days. Everyone had to tread carefully around him.
There was no need to guess; it was likely because he had hit a wall with Seraphina.
"Mr. Dros, the money for the painting has been transferred. The 100 million dors have already been handed over to Ms. Cross''s assistant. Thomas."
Orion paused and gave a cold, brief grunt in response.
Ken continued his report, "Kaveh''s studio has been cut off from all sources of funding, and his works have been taken off the shelves entirely. I''ve also contacted all his business partners to terminate any contracts. Within half a day, Kaveh''s studio will be on the brink of bankruptcy."
Given the power of the Droses, shutting down such a small studio was a trivial matter.
Kaveh could have avoided all of this. As a young man chasing his dreams, he had already done something extraordinary by founding the studio despite the pressure from his family. But now...
it was all over.
Orion''s expression remained cold. He nced at his wristwatch, as if even half a day was too long.
Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Kaveh.
Orion had no intention of answering and immediately hung up.
The calls kepting, one after another, as if Kaveh wouldn''t give up.
Orion''s expression darkened, growing more irritated with every ring. Finally, he blocked the number.
Just then, Ken''s phone rang.
Ken looked at the screen. It was Kavch.
He nced nervously at Orion''s face, then decided to hang up the call.
"Leave, Orion ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Dros, Ken said, relieved as he left the room.
Then, Orion''s phone rang again.
It was Ramona.
He paused before answering.
"I heard you shut down Kaveh''s studio."
As he loosened his tie, Orion''s voice was calm and bi

"Yes, I n to send him to the Druyton branch to get some real experience. He can''t keep wasting his life like this. Since he''s part of the family, he should be taken care of properly."
Ramona seemed satisfied with his answer and replied with a pleased grunt. He praised, "As always, you''re very considerate and always think of everything."
"Grandpa, how could you switch sides so easily? Uncle Orion is bullying me!"
Kaveh''s voice interrupted, full of frustration as he grabbed the phone.
"Uncle Orion, this is too much! Are you seriously shutting down my studio? We don''t have a penny left, and now we''re buried in debt."
Orion didn''t hang up, but his gaze grew as cold as ice..
His voice was

Even if it was his own nephew, he wouldn''t go easy on him.
He had no interest in dragging the conversation out, so he hung up.
In the suburbs, at a luxurious club.
Seraphina had just finished meeting with Thomas and came straight to the club.
Upon her arrival, someone immediately led her to the VIP room, 8888. Olivia and Sarah were hosting a private party inside.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
Familiar friends were all present, along with a handful of models and fresh-faced actors from the entertainment industry. Most of them were young men. Even Albert and Bruce were there, and when Seraphina walked in, everyone stood to greet her. Seraphina smiled lightly. It was indeed lively.
Olivia pulled herself aside and whispered conspiratorially.
"A feast of handsome men, all set up just for you. Don''t be shy-take whichever one catches your eye."
Seraphina stiffened, and she shot Olivia a strange look.
"What on earth are you all doing?"
Olivia said, "Well, you just barely survived a close call. Of course, we have to celebrate. I know how hard it was for you to put up with those brutes before. But tonight, all these guys are yours to choose from!"
