Chapter 536 Maybe It''s Best if You Don''t Mention It
Seraphina shed him a knowing smile. "Do you honestly believe that''s even possible?"Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
She had always been firmly on L''s side, never wavering.
Lucius pursed his lips and leaned in slightly, speaking loud enough for them both to hear.
"If not, I''ll have Orione over to handle things. He''s not just about stirring up trouble-he''s capable of much worse."
He then directed a pointed look at William, who was standing beside her.
This d*mn Lucius. He''s asking for a beating!
Seraphina''s chest tightened. How dare he threaten me like this!
But deep down, she knew Lucius wasn''t joking-Orion was notorious for his unpredictable temper, and if pushed far enough, he would follow through on whatever he threatened.
If this event went south because of her, the consequences would weigh heavily on her.
A forced smile tugged at Seraphina''s lips. After a few moments of silent contemtion, she turned to the
doorman.
"Let Mr. Brown in. I''ll vouch for him."
Without waiting for a response, she turned and walked away, clearly wanting to distance herself from Lucius.

William didn''t press her for details. Once inside, the temperature felt just right-neither too warm nor too chilly.
He gently helped her remove her coat and handed it to a server who was nearby.
Seraphina smiled and thanked him, about to reach for a ss of red wine, but William stepped in front of her.
"Your leg''s only just healed, and you''re still on medication. You shouldn''t drink," he advised.
Seraphina gave him a small, appreciative smile and nodded in agreement. His thoughtful gesture felt like a gentle,forting breeze.
He handed her a ss of soda water instead, and she epted it with a grateful smile.
Before they could move deeper into the room, they heard a voice calling out from across the space.
"Sweetie, how long has it been? I''ve missed you terribly
Kaveh, wearing a sleek ck suit, was approaching with his arms open, clearly ready to greet her with a hug.
Suddenly, memories of the gossip she''d heard from Orion resurfaced-Kaveh and L were involved.

But before Kaveh could reach her, William stepped forward, extending his hand. "Good evening, Mr. Kaveh."
Kaveh froze, noticing William for the first time. He looked between Seraphina and William, raising an eyebrow before feigning a pout.
"Sweetie, I was clearly first in line! How could you let another man cut in?"
Seraphina rolled her eyes, unimpressed. "What a drama queen."
Kaveh quickly masked his embarrassment and nced at William.
"You know me?" he asked with a smirk. "I know you too. Mr. Rockwell."
William remained calm, nodding politely.
They exchanged a brief handshake, but Kaveh leaned in with a mischievous grin.
"I think we''d be a perfect match, but as long as you don''t choose my uncle, I''m good. But my uncle? He really shouldn''t get off so easily."
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, smiling in amusement.
Does your uncle know how you feel about him?
Kaveh''s smile faltered. "Well, I''ll make sure the message gets to him."
He awkwardly chuckled, quickly backpedaling.
"Actually, maybe it''s best if you don''t mention it ...
If Uncle Orion ever hears that, I would be in serious trouble.
Just then, the director and Michael walked over, each holding a ss of wine.
The celebrity lineup for the variety show had already caused a stir. Even though Seraphina, Orion, and Henry had pulled out, which had sparked plenty of gossip, the audience was soon captivated by the fresh faces joining the show. Each neer brought their own unique ir and a different perspective on how to make a fresh start.
Seraphina and L, who were both contemting divorce, were evidently dissatisfied with their current lives.
