Chapter 450 Parting Ways Unhappily
The atmosphere in the living room was as cold and heavy as water.
A jolt ran through the group; theirplexion shifted from pale to ashen, revealing their difort clearly.
Even though they rarely saw the Crosses, they needed their work and support. Whenever they faced difficulties, Emeris had alwayse to their aid without hesitation.
But deep down, they all knew that Emeris was the only one among the Crosses who would even acknowledge them.
Emeris''s children showed minimal affection towards her. Once Emeris stepped down, they would care even less about their plight.
Each year, Emeris hosted gatherings to encourage connections between their children and the rest of the family, providing a valuable opportunity.
They could neither afford to lose the Crosses'' support nor could they believe that two foolish women would jeopardize the already fragile ties among them.
They were visibly frustrated and clenched their teeth in anger.
Others cued the eldest, Rosa Cross, in a corner and urged her forward.
With a resigned sigh, she forcibly approached Seraphina and took her hand gently.
"Seraphina, they''re just elders speaking without thinking. Don''t take it to heart."
Seraphina yanked her hand away, her expression icy. What kind of elders are those two?
Don''t even think about using moral coercion on her not a chance!
"I''m sorry, but I''ve taken it to heart. Out of respect for our family ties, I won''t call the police. But now, I insist that these two ''elders'' leave my house at once, or will sue them for defamation!" The room fell silent, everyone waiting for Emeris to mediate the situation.
Yet Emeris was equally enraged; he had no intention of speaking up.
Alexander, sensing the tension, chose to stay silent himself. He already faced enough challenges and didn''t want to add to the chaos.
Rosa wanted to say something, but Justin couldn''t hold back any longer; his voice was frosty.
"Didn''t you hear what Seraphina said? Do you need a driver to escort you out?"
"Justin, is that any way to speak? If you''re not going to offer support, at least don''t add fuel to the fire!"
The others felt too intimidated to confront Seraphina, but Justin, who had toiled through the night, was in a position to speak out.
Justin sneered, "If anyone''s unhappy, they can just leave with her!"

He plopped down onto the sofa, no longer interested in the escting drama.
Emeris sighed, rubbing his forehead, his expression dark.
"Seraphina, I''m going upstairs to rest. You handle the rest."
His attitude spoke volumes.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
Once Emeris exited, the group felt abandoned and without backing. Seraphina and Justin wasted no time in arranging for cars to escort everyone away. As dawn broke, only Alexander remained, his own troubles weighing heavily on him.
"My home is out of town."
Justin chuckled and said, "Uncle Alexander, you''re joking. This situation has nothing to do with you. I''ll have Benjamin arrange a guest room for you to rest." Atst, peace settled in.
The next morning, visitors arrived bright and early.
Finding Orion lounging in her living room with Ramona and Hannah by his side shocked Seraphina.
Emeris was sipping tea. He nearly choked at the sight of Seraphina''s casual demeanor, shaking his head in bemusement.
"You two are really not being considerate; we have guests!" He scolded.
In an instant, Seraphina and Sarah turned and headed upstairs.
Orion''s eyes sparkled with amusement, radiating warmth.
Dressed in her pajamas and appearing leisurely, Seraphina looked far from the formidable businesswoman everyone knew her to be.
She resembled a charming, adorable girl instead.
Ramona smiled softly and said, "It''s alright; we''re all family here. It''s nice to see Seraphina being a little more rxed."
His words hinted at a deeper understanding. Emeris was hesitant to engage further.
"I''ve spoiled her, but as long as you don''t mind, it''s fine he said.
