Thomas opened the office door for them at once. Seraphina and Lila entered one after the other

"Would you like something to drink? Thomas offered.

"Coffee, please. Lila responded.

As Seraphina settled into her chair, she instinctively glanced at her computer. The stock market was open. and the trends on the chart were strikingly clear.

Most notably, Brown Group's stocks were plummeting losing hundreds of millions in just a few minutes.

Today, Lila wore a sharp outfit that perfectly suited her role as a lawyer.

"Ms. Everhart, what brings you here today?" Seraphina asked.

Lila smiled but hesitated for a moment, her face reflecting uncertainty.

"I do have something important to discuss. I'd like to ask for your help, Ms. Cross."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Go on."

"As you know, the events of last night are well-known by now. Despite the establishment of my law firm, the Browns' interference has left me without any clients. At this rate, I'll have to close my doors within a month." Lila chuckled bitterly.

"I know you've endured an unhappy marriage, Ms. Cross. We share a common struggle, but I lack your background. The Brown Group has ruined my family, leaving me powerless. The scene from last night was my last attempt to fight back." Seraphina felt a tremor in her heart but managed to smile.

"The Brown Group has already lost several millions today; it's about to hit one billion. Don't underestimate your abilities, Ms. Everhart."

"I've come here today, rather shamelessly, to ask for your help. If you were to invest in my firm, no one would care about the Brown Group's influence."

She needed someone stronger and indifferent, someone with the Browns' power, to completely elimina the family influence.

Seraphina was the perfect choice.

Although the Browns had been disgraced at the wedding, this circle was forgetful and exclusive. Lila, once obscure, would soon become a mere memory, while other scandal would tarnish the Browns. But really, how many wealthy families like

Seraphina waved her hand dismissively. She comforted. Don't worry. I leave it to the profesional. Yo just need to show up.

Lila nodded seriously, feeling the weight of the situation.

The group unanimously agreed with the proposal.

Without wasting time, Seraphina instructed Michael to draft a plan.

Not long after returning home, Lila clarified that Seraphina would hold fifty percent of the law firm share.

Seraphina squinted and promptly revised her share to ten percent before sending it back to Lila.

Her focus wasn't on the law firm; she had no intention of taking advantage of Lila. After all,

, once this was over, Lila would need to manage everything herself through her law firm.

Michael had no doubts about the freshness of this reality show. Audiences had grown weary of typical romances that blossomed on set; a show focused on empowered individuals thriving after divorce was sure to carve out a new path.

After all, Seraphina's divorce had been nothing short of sensational, capturing the public's fascination and stirring their hopes for her success in the business world. Unfortunately, Seraphina wasn't an actress and wouldn't be putting on a performance for anyone. Once the reality show was announced, it was bound to attract immense attention, and there was no need to worry about its popularity.

Michael called a secret meeting right away, and they quickly established a plan.

The show would not only feature Lila but also several well-known divorced female celebrities from the entertainment industry, ensuring high ratings from the start.

Michael was adamant about having Seraphina on the show, knowing that everyone would be even more intrigued by her identity.

Seraphina didn't agree immediately but did consent to join the first episode to help boost its popularity.

As the show sought investors, Seraphina decided not to accept funding from Cross Group but instead aimed for a broader audience. Back in the Dros Group.

Ken hurriedly placed the investment proposal on Orion's desk.

"What show is this?" Orion raised an eyebrow.

"It's reportedly a divorce-themed reality show made to promote Ms. Everhart, the ex-wife of Mr. Brown," Ken explained.

Gupte 417 I Must Be

He scoffed, dismissing the idea.

Ken glanced at his expression and said, "No, it's Ms. Cross who's backing it

Orion's face darkened. He remembered the whispers about Lila not being a good influence, worried she might lead Seraphina astray.. "Let's kill it.".

He made his decision instantly, his eyes shining with chilliness.

"Ms. Cross is also participating," Ken added.

A heavy silence filled the office.

After a long time, Orion suppressed his agitation and gritted his teeth.

"No matter the cost, Dros Group must exclusively sponsor this show."

It was his woman's program; he would support her fully and not allow anyone else to curry her favor.

Ken hesitated, wanting to explain the show's concept and market direction.

"Mr. Dros, the show lacks a clear direction, and the guest list isn't impressive. It mainly focuses on divorced women."

"Enough! I've made my decision. Just do it," Orion commanded, cutting him off.

Ken paused but knew better than to argue.

"Yes, boss."

Within a few days, the script for the show landed on Orion's desk.

The title was bold and striking.

"After Leaving That Sc*m!"

Orion stared at it for a long time. His brow furrowed, and his eyes were cold. He didn't seem pleased.

Ken continued, "Mr. Dros, I have passed down your order. We won't have much involvement in the filming process. The funds are already secured, and the divorced female celebrities invited have good reputations, so it shouldn't negatively affect us." Orion's fingers traced along the title of the show; the look in his eyes was ominous.

Is Seraphina going to participate in a show about finding joy after divorce?

His jaw clenched tightly, and he asked, "Is it too late to withdraw our investment?"

Ken was speechless and unsure how to respond.

Orion quickly realized he had spoken foolishly, and his expression shifted. "Contact the production team and tell them that I must participate in this show."

Chapter 418 The Male Guests of the Women's Show

Two weeks later, everything was finally in place.

Finished

Seraphina had handed over the company's affairs to Sivir, feeling unburdened as she headed off to record the show.

At the venue, she was greeted not only by her old friend Lila but also by three divorced actresses: Alessandra Titterington, Zora Bailey, and Nina Mitchell.

Alessandra was worldly and savvy; Zora was flamboyant and stunning, while timid Nina followed closely behind Zora.

The trio was among the top stars in Winterwood; their weddings had once drawn enormous attention, but none of those marriages had lasted more than two years before announcing their end.

Surprisingly, divorce had not halted their careers. Instead, it had liberated them from previous constraints, allowing their careers to flourish at this very moment.

Within the group, Lila had a gentle demeanor-she was never one to compete for the spotlight and rarely stirred up any buzz. When Seraphina arrived, the three actresses were deep in conversation, paying little mind to Lila, who sat quietly in the corner. As soon as Seraphina walked in, they all stood up, embracing her warmly as if they were old friends.

The atmosphere became instantly harmonious.

After all, which actress in the entertainment industry would dare to challenge Seraphina?

Her background was the aspirational goal that these women hoped to achieve one day; a mere flick of her finger could ruin the careers they had worked tirelessly to build.

Everyone made room for Seraphina to sit at the center, but she chose to sit next to Lila. This left the onlookers uncertain about Lila's significance in this setting.

Seraphina smiled faintly and said, "Let's have Michael introduce everyone, shall we?"

Only someone like Seraphina could ask for Michael to introduce her without fear of backlash.

Michael had mentally prepared himself for this moment. Standing at the head of the oval table, he began with Lila, who was less prominent than he expected.

show."

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the first participant. This is Ms. Everhart, the producer of our show, and she is also a lawyer specializing in divorce cases. She will be accompanying everyone and providing us with professional legal guidance throughout the The trio's expressions shifted slightly. The woman they had just ignored turned out to be the producer.

Lila smiled and nodded gently.

Next, Michael introduced Seraphina with just a casual mention of her as a 'special guest before turning his attention to the three actresses.

"And now, we have a male guest as our team leader. Who could it be?"

Chapter 418. The Male Guests of the Women's Show

Michael flashed a mysterious smile.

Finished

At that moment, he clapped his hands, and two doors-one to the north and one to the south-opened simultaneously.

The room fell silent as the male guest from the south was none other than Henry.

He stood there, fair-skinned and refined, wearing a gentle smile.

But then the true shocker emerged; from the north door stood Orion.

The revelation astonished everyone.

Orion was here for the show?

The powerful figure who could turn tides with a mere gesture had chosen to participate in this seemingly inconsequential program?

No one had expected this. The three actresses could hardly contain their shock, anxiety, and excitement as they suddenly became preoccupied with ensuring their makeup was perfect, eager to attract the men's attention. They seemed to forget entirely the reason they had come to the show in the first place.

Orion stood there, initially struggling to suppress the thrill of seeing Seraphina again. But once he laid eyes on her-especially when he noticed the man standing opposite her-he felt an urge to smash everything in sight. D*mn it!

Why is that impostor here?

And why did he also participate as a special guest?

Meanwhile, Henry stood among them. His smile was growing slightly strained as he stole glances at Orion. Avoiding direct eye contact, he quickly made his way to Seraphina's side.

He hadn't wanted to come, but Michael had insisted this was Seraphina's personal request.

After all the insignificant roles he had played since debuting-always described as Orion's stand-in in entertainment news-this show was his chance to shine as the only male guest, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! So he had come without hesitation.

He never imagined that the real star would also make an appearance.

Even from a distance, he could sense the icy chill and hostility radiating from Orion.

Chapter 419 I Am Here For You

Orion didn't walk in. Instead, he stood there, illuminated by a halo of light that surrounded him, yet it radiated no warmth.

His features were so perfectly chiseled that they seemed sculpted by a master artist. He exuded an aura of noble detachment, cold and imposing, making him seen nearly unreachable.

The cheers and applause that had filled the air abruptly ceased as everyone noticed the grim expression on Orion's face.

Everyone was flustered and unsure how to react.

Seraphina stood frozen, staring at the unexpected appearance of Orion. Her brows furrowed as she squinted at him.

It was truly surprising.

She turned her gaze toward Michael.

Orion's gaze first locked on Henry, then shifted to Seraphina, and finally settled on Michael.

As Michael felt the weight of all eyes upon him, an unsettling sensation crept over him, yet he had to maintain his composure.

Justin's advice to utilize the center of attention left no other option. Wouldn't combining their star power create an even greater spectacle?

As a seasoned media professional, he understood how to leverage everyone's strengths to the fullest. This was precisely the moment to do just that.

He cleared his throat, forcing a smile as he approached Orion and welcomed him personally.

"Mr. Dros, it's a great honor to have you as our guest. Our show is truly privileged to have you."

Orion's sharp gaze bore at him, and he grinned gently. "Oh?"

Michael pressed his lips together, feeling the pressure to smooth over the atmosphere, and continued, "Mr. Dros is our surprise guest, and we also have Mr. Henry Walker here, who will assist our goddesses and help with Mr. Dros's needs. If Mr. Dros requires anything, you can direct it to Mr. Walker."

We established the hierarchy in just a few sentences.

Henry's role was clearly defined: he existed solely to serve Orion. Their positions were distinct, as were their responsibilities.

The coldness in Orion's eyes remained, and Michael found it increasingly difficult to bear the weight of his scrutiny. He glanced at Seraphina in a plea for help.

If only he hadn't tried to play this little game.

Seraphina rolled her eyes, immediately realizing that Michael, driven by ambition, was trying to stir up trouble.

BG.

Chapter 419 I Am Here For You

Taking a deep breath, she reminded herself that with so many people present, it would be unwise to cause a scene, especially since they were there to support Lila She could always settle the score with him later. With a resigned expression, she extended her hand and began to applaud.

It was a welcoming gesture.

Almost immediately, the crowd picked up on her cuc, and applause erupted, growing increasingly

enthusiastic.

Applause meant solely for Orion.

Orion's gaze landed on Seraphina, who had started the applause. His eyes softened slightly, and the chill in his demeanor thawed just a bit.

At last, he made his way inside.

Michael sighed in relief.

They had finally crossed the first challenge.

Orion stepped next to Seraphina, and those around them instinctively cleared a space.

It was unmistakable. Orion stood at the center of attention.

It felt strange yet fitting.

Seraphina maintained her expressionless smile, seemingly unengaged.

Henry, recognizing the unspoken tension, discreetly slipped to the corner of the room.

He dared not provoke Orion again.

The beating he had taken that day was enough to instill caution for a lifetime.

After a brief overview of the rules, everyone headed outdoors to play a few games designed to build camaraderie.

Seraphina strolled leisurely at the back, with Lila by her side.

The other three practically hovered around Orion, eager to catch his attention.

"Mr. Dros," Zora gushed, "It's an honor to meet you. You're more handsome in person than in magazines or on TV!"

"Yes," Alessandra chimed in, "Mr. Dros, why did you suddenly decide to join the show? This surprise is enormous; the director didn't even give us a heads-up!"

Nina added enthusiastically, "With Mr. Dros on board, our ratings are sure to soar!"

Lila couldn't help but chuckle, glancing at Seraphina. "Mr. Dros must be here for you, right?"

Seranhina gazed at Orion's hark his broad shoulders and his tall stature which made him stand out

effortlessly among the crowd.

"I think he's here for the money," she replied nonchalant

The man in front froze for a moment.

Chapter 420 Orion Invites Me to His Room

According to Michael's plan, the team was scheduled to secure their first deal for Lila's law firm tomorrow. While they had reviewed the case details beforehand, it was still a legitimate opportunity that existed in the real world.

That evening, the entire crew was set to rest at a five-star hotel under the Dros Group's banner.

The choice of this hotel was not arbitrary-it was a requirement from their sponsor.

As the sole sponsor, the generous Orion would certainly not let his investment be spent in someone else's hotel.

To ensure a warm reception, the hotel had cleared its schedule in advance. The manager had discussed arrangements with Ken, ensuring that Orion would stay in his exclusive presidential suite while everyone else would occupy the VIP rooms on the next floor. This level of hospitality was unprecedented in the hotel's history.

Once inside, the team members took turns approaching the front desk to collect their room keys in front of the cameras.

However, as the staff began to hand over the room keys, Seraphina was called up to the penthouse.

With several hotels under the Cross Group, if she didn't understand what this meant, wasn't it foolish of

her?

Stepping out of the elevator, she spotted Orion standing at the entrance of the presidential suite, yet he didn't go inside.

When he noticed Seraphina, a flicker of light danced in his dark eyes. He walked over, took the luggage from the staff with a charming smile, and said, "Shall we go?"

Seraphina didn't move. She stood there, her gaze calm and distant. "There's only one room up here, right?"

Her guarded tone caused Orion's smile to falter slightly, but he quickly masked it with a casual smile.

"Yes, this presidential suite is for Ms. Cross to experience. We'd like to know what needs improvement."

Seraphina lowered her gaze slightly, then stepped aside, extending her arm in a graceful manner. The effortless blend of elegance and nonchalance brought an inexplicable amusement to Orion.

A feisty Seraphina was simply adorable!

He promptly handed her the room key. Beep... The door swings open.

Seraphina entered, glancing around and inwardly scoffing.

The Dros Group owned this hotel, which was a landmark in the city and the preferred venue for political and business events. It hardly needed any improvements.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if she could acquire the Cross Group?

Standing inside, she shook her head in disappointment.

Chapter 420 Orion Invites Me to His Room

What a pity!

Finished

Orion furrowed his brows as he observed Seraphina's reaction, a hint of surprise crossing his face. "You're not satisfied?"

He checked his expensive watch, wondering if he could make it to a neighboring city's hotel, which was exclusively for state guests.

Seraphina hesitated for a moment, smoothing her hair 'It's fine, I suppose."

After that, she entered the room carrying her belongings.

As she turned around, she found Orion still standing at the door.

Instantly, her frosty demeanor shifted to irritation.

"Mr. Dros, are you planning to stay here and rest?"

Orion raised an eyebrow. He was worn out after a long day. Orion leaned casually against the wall, unconsciously glancing at her. "Is it okay?"

Seraphina let out a light laugh and cursed, "F*ck off!"

Just as he was about to step inside, the door slammed shut with a loud bang.

"Alright, I'll give it to you!"

Orion nearly bumped into the door as he spoke. With that, he left decisively.

Seraphina slowly laughed behind him. Haha! Did he think he could challenge me?

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew busied themselves with their tasks.

Michael was still discussing the case with the director when he heard a knock on the door.

He went to open it, revealing Alessandra, who stood there looking glamorous yet clad in a lazy, sexy bathrobe, tightly wrapped around her alluring figure.

Instantly, he had a bad feeling about this, and his expression grew cold.

Having navigated this industry for so long, he had encountered countless women throwing themselves at him, but he had always managed to keep his distance from the temptations of this circle. Alessandra smiled, her sultry aura suddenly shifting to a more innocent vibe.

"Michael, do you happen to know which room Mr. Dros is in?"

She looked at him with eager anticipation, shaking her phone in feigned distress.

"He asked me to meet him, but I forgot to ask for his room number."
