A Woman Destined to be Admired


    Lucinda''s face was burning hot, as if she had just received a public p. Her gaze was frantic and confused.


    She suddenly understood what Thomas meant


    At most, she was only the daughter of the chairman of Corcker Group.


    But Seraphina? She was the chairman of the Cross Group.


    The two of them were never equals, not even close.


    In fact, Lucinda didn''t even have the qualifications to meet Seraphina.


    She stood there, panicking and anxious, surrounded by bodyguards. "Pleasee with us," the security guard said.


    Leaving the Cross Group and returning to the home that never truly belonged to her would be even more miserable.


    But she had no choice but to leave.


    Why?


    Had Seraphina discovered her scheme!


    Lucinda''s body stiffened as she stood at the doorway under the hot sun. The heat didn''t warm her at all; instead, a cold chill crawled up her spine. Seraphina didn''t even bother questioning her. She didn''t want to hear any excuses-no, she didn''t even want to hear Lucinda''s lies!


    Perhaps Seraphina had long expected this. Even if confronted, Lucinda would never admit anything.


    Never had Lucinda felt such sweat soaking through her body and leaving her weak. She copsed on the garden steps by the door.


    She looked up at the towering, luxurious skyscraper before her, cold as a beast, swallowing souls whole.


    And her? She was so insignificant, unworthy of stepping inside


    The ring sun exposed all of Lucinda''s petty schemes, leaving her with nowhere to hide.


    She sat there, waiting until the twilight hour, when the day almost turned to night.


    Lucinda dared not leave


    She had thought of countless ways to deal with Seraphina''s moves.


    How would Seraphina retaliate?


    Anger, rage, or perhaps a p?


    Lucinda knew her target was Orion. No matter what, that would make her different somehow, right? 1/3


    A Woman Destined to be Admired


    At this moment, she suddenly realized that she was nothing in Seraphina''s


    Seraphina let her into Cross Group with dignity and then threw her out with just as much dignity.


    Finished


    She stepped out in her high heels, her aura as cold as ice. Around her were not only bodyguards and assistants but also heads of various departments, eagerly seeking her advice on important matters. Their faces were filled with ttery and respect.


    That kind of starlit aura, the feeling of being surrounded and admired-Lucinda couldn''t even dream of it. She suddenly understood the massive gulf between her and Seraphina.


    What difference did it make that Lucinda had gone from an illegitimate child to the daughter of a group


    chairman?


    The selfish, despicable nature buried deep in her bones couldn''t evenpare to the noble, open Seraphina, who stood confidently in the sunlight. Lucinda was like a rat in sewage, hidden from the light. At that moment, Lucinda was too afraid to step forward and exin.


    She was already aughingstock. Did she really want Seraphina tough in her face?


    Lucinda paused, then suddenly turned and walked in the opposite direction.


    At Dros Group.


    Ken noticed that Orion''s expression had been particrly grimtely, and his methods of handling situations within thepany had be even more ruthless and merciless. He assumed his boss must have been upset after another confrontation with Seraphina. The employees reported their work in fear and cautionContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Close to the end of the workday, Ken knocked on the door and entered.


    "Mr. Dros, we''ve just received word that Cross Group fired an employee today."


    Orion raised an eyebrow Ken wouldn''t discuss a matter as insignificant as the firing of a regr employee.


    Sure enough, Ken continued, "It was Lucinda"


    A trace of disdain flickered through Orion''s eyes, his voice cold.


    "She deserved it."


    He couldn''t care less.


    Ken continued. "Mrs. Dros just called. She said Lucinda has nowhere to go and suggested we should let her work here."


    The atmosphere froze instantly.


    Ken braced himself as Orion''s face darkened.


    A Woman Destined to be Admired


    Orion''s gaze was sharp, and his words were ruthless.


    "There''s no ce for dead weight here. Absolutely not!


    There wasn''t an ounce of mercy in his words.


    Ken nodded slightly and said, "Understood."
