Chapter 506 Defection and Bribery
Seraphina sneered coldly and asked, "So, it was slander after all?"
Justin raised an eyebrow. "Yes, the online tide has turned. Everyone's blasting this woman for exploiting the internet users, but Wilson didn't let her off easy either."
"How so?" Seraphina asked, confused.
Justin chuckled. "Typically, the victim of slander sends a lawyer's letter as a warning. After an apology, things usually die down. But this woman? After the woman apologized, Wilson immediately went to the police and had her arrested. The evidence was clear; she couldn't walk away from it."
"If they hand you the evidence, why not take it?" Seraphina smirked.
"That's true. But the woman tried to flee overnight. The police caught her at the airport. What a scene! Too bad we didn't get to witness it," Justin said, disappointed. How thrilling it must have been, he thought.
Seraphina didn't care at all. As long as it was dealt with, that was all that mattered.
"Any turmoil with the company's stock?" she asked.
Oh, once he caught the person spreading the rumors, your name was cleared. Now, the internet is full of people sympathizing with you. Our stock is soaring, and it's incredibly stable."
Seraphina finally felt a sense of relief as the weight on her chest began to lift.
"Good. Just don't obstruct my pace to make money. Everything else is negotiable."
She put down her spoon and said, "I'm full now. I'll call Sivir."
Justin furrowed his brow, confused.
"Sivir said you should focus on your health and not worry about the company."
Seraphina turned back and laughed coldly.
"I'm going to strike back. I'll crush them all."
She didn't simply mean Orion when she said "them."
Justin pressed his lips together, uneasy, but wisely stayed silent. It was true-one shouldn't provoke a
woman.
Seraphina found her phone. She went to the study and had a half-hour conversation with Sivir.
When she came out, her face was bright with a victorious smile.
Without going through Justin or Michael, she contacted a media platform and got someone's phone number.
She dialed the number, and the person picked up groggily, his voice raspy.
"Who's this?"

Seraphina smiled softly, her voice warm.
"Hello, is this 'Green Giant's Boxer'? I'm Seraphina Cross from Cross Group."

There was a long silence. The man seemed stunned. He hadn't expected Seraphina herself to call him.
He snapped to attention.
"Y-You...
He was her number one hater. He had taken money from someone else and relentlessly spread lies about her-accusing her of being the third party, cheating, all of it fabricated by him.
He was now feeling guilty, particularly in light of the numerous arrests for spreading rumors in his line of work.
However, the promised money was simply irresistible.
Seraphina chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous. If I wanted to call the police, I wouldn't be speaking with you directly. I just need a small favor. Once you help me, I'll give you ten times the payment and even get you a job at Twitter. What do think?"
you
She had made arrangements thoughtfully. Even if his betrayal prevented him from staying in the same industry, he could easily transition to a similar line of work with the money.
Twitter was one of the world's most famous social media platforms. It was a place where he was often active.
That man could never have imagined such an opportunity.
"You... What if you're tricking me?" he asked, hesitant.
Seraphina laughed again. "You're at home, right? We will deliver Twitter's employment contract to your
and door in five minutes. If you still don't trust me, I can have my lawyer draft a contract. I'll pay you, you'll do the job for me. I won't hold you accountable for the lies you spread about me before. Honestly, with that amount of money, do you really think I need to trick you?" To others, it was a fortune.
To Seraphina, it was merely spare change-hardly enough to make her bother to personally call and deceive him.

The man didn't hesitate and agreed, "Alright, deal!"
Seraphina smiled softly and spoke in a gentle tone, "Then I'll leave it to you. My assistant will contact you shortly, and you can send him the documents and the signed contract."
After finishing her words, she casually said goodbye:
Green Giant's Boxer was speechless.
He had never been this excited in his life. The woman he had always admired had a voice that was soft and calm, devoid of any hint of anger. Her tolerance was beyond his imagination; it made him trust her unconditionally. That man was utterly ashamed of himself.
By noon, Benjamin reported that Orion still hadn't left.
Haha! Was this guy waiting for her to personally ask him to leave?
But she didn't want to see him!
Justin insisted on wheeling her outside to get some sun. He pushed her into the garden to smell the flowers.
Seraphina looked at him, speechless. He was sitting on the swing, happily playing; clearly, his brother was in need of someone to talk to.
What a sc*m Justin was!
However, the air outside was indeed pleasant. The garden had a few flower trees, and they were blooming beautifully, filling the air with a delicate, calming fragrance.
She raised her eyes, squinting a little. The weather was just perfect.
"Seraphina, do you want to come up and play on the swing? I can lift you up."
Seraphina gave him a look, seemingly expressing her disapproval of his childlike behavior.
"No, I'm going to check the front."
With that, she pressed a button. Her wheelchair moved on its own, reversing, turning, and then moving forward smoothly.
The path ahead was a cobblestone walk, which didn't seem like much when one walked on it.
But now, sitting in a wheelchair, it was a bit inconvenient.
The bumps were starting to annoy her. Although she didn't have to push herself, it was still inconvenient.
It had rained last night, leaving the stones wet. In winter, the water didn't evaporate easily-some even had

Unexpectedly, the wheel of her wheelchair became stuck. She pressed the button to accelerate, but the wheelchair didn't budge.
Seraphina looked up and was about to call for the servants' help.
Suddenly, the wheelchair moved.
It was as if someone had grabbed the back of her chair, and then a strong, powerful arm reached over, lifting both her and the wheelchair together. Seraphina didn't look up but caught the faint scent of smoke and a chilling aura of stillness. Without a doubt, it wasn't anyone from her house.
No one dared to be so straightforward with her.
She was then gently set down on the ground, and the wheelchair was placed carefully beside her.
Seraphina looked up and saw a calm face suddenly enlarged before her.
It was Orion.
Was he growing anxious as he waited outside?
So he couldn't resist rushing in?
Benjamin and the bodyguards at the door noticed him entering and immediately followed him.
"Ms. Seraphina."
Seraphina raised a hand, signaling Benjamin, who understood and took his men back.
Orion's eyes were bloodshot, and his complexion didn't look good. The faint smell of smoke around him gave him a sense of weariness.
He kneeled and squatted in front of her. His posture from afar looked like he was kneeling before her.
"Seraphina, I need to talk to you."
While waiting outside, he had realized that she would never approach him willingly.
However, he couldn't simply walk away from this situation. If he didn't make things clear now, they were truly done for.
So he slipped past the guards and servants, jumping down from an inconspicuous spot.
He had trained. Orion was agile enough to pull this off otherwise, jumping from such a high wall would've either killed him or gotten him caught.
Fortunately, he arrived just in time to save Seraphina from her wheelchair-bound helplessness.
Seeing her helpless and confused look nearly broke his heart.

"Mr. Dros doesn't even use the front door now?"
Such a petty move!
Orion pressed his lips together, his gaze complicated as he looked at her.
"I just want to clear things up face-to-face."
"Alright, go ahead."

The words were on the tip of Orion's tongue, but he couldn't find a way to begin.
"I'm sorry about what happened yesterday," he said.
Seraphina raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's there to apologize for?"
She feigned ignorance.
Orion frowned, surprised. "You don't know?"
"Know what? Oh, my phone got accidentally broken. Did you try to reach me?" She asked, blinking and giving him a teasing smile.
In an instant, Orion's tightly pressed lips instantly relaxed.
"I thought you were mad."
Seraphina's bright, clear eyes darkened slightly.
"Mad? People online were cursing Wilson, not me. Why would I be angry?"
She was deliberately making him uncomfortable at his most relaxed moment and wanted him to feel utterly ashamed.
Orion stiffened. His eyes darkened, and there was a faint sense of loss in his voice.
"Of course you do. How could you not know?"
Her calm demeanor gave him the impression that she was pretending not to know, and that, somehow, that was better for her.
Seraphina curled her lips in a slight, cold smile.
She sneered, "Didn't work out the way you wanted, huh, Mr. Dros? I guess you're disappointed. It's unexpected that such a petty tactic would be something you'd endorse." Her words were a meaningless jab-though they made him uncomfortable, they caused no real harm.
Orion's face stiffened. His features tightened into an expression of restrained frustration.
"I didn't mean to drag you into this," he said, his voice low. "I admit I was behind this morning's actions, but the public outcry last night? That wasn't me."
The look in his eyes was cold and dark. The look in his eyes was torn, searching hers with a quiet plea-would she believe him?
"I didn't want to drag you down into this; I just wanted to warn Wilson."
Seraphina chuckled lightly and cast him a half-hearted glance.
"Things have come down to this. What good is saying this now? What? Do you think accusing someone innocent of slander will somehow get you what you want?" 1/3

"Slander? Do you really think Wilson is innocent? His involvement with his brother's woman is hardly a
secret overseas."
Orion was furious at Seraphina's indifferent, 'I'll just believe in him' attitude.
He couldn't maintain his usual composure, feeling an overwhelming urge to show her just how fake Wilson was..
But Seraphina remained entirely calm, a steadiness in her demeanor that only frustrated him more.
She already knew all of this-perhaps more than he did.
The woman involved with his brother? That was Little Dani's mother.
She hadn't expected the gossip to sound so bad when it reached other ears.
Yet Wilson had sacrificed his reputation just to give Little Dani an identity. In her eyes, this act alone had somehow gained her more respect. Seraphina smiled faintly, looking up at him.
"Mr. Dros, if you don't know someone, it's better not to jump to conclusions."
Then she added the most cutting remark.
"Didn't you used to be involved with other women too?"
Jessica was Julius' sister. Everything Orion had done back then was for Jessica.
Now, what right did he have to call out anyone for justice?
Why didn't he do the same?
Orion's face froze, as if she had slapped him. The mix of humiliation and coldness was overwhelming.
He suddenly became cold and distant.
His eyes darkened. He leaned forward, enclosing her in his space. His voice was low and icy.
"You don't trust me, and you trust Wilson more, don't you?"
His voice was low, icy.
Seraphina met his gaze, her expression unshaken, and she spoke each word clearly.
"I trust the facts."
Orion's face darkened with a shadow. Anger boiled inside him, but he managed to hold it back.
She wasn't trusting the facts-she just didn't trust Orion.
His breath came heavily, his eyes were fixated on her, the red in the corners of his eyes deepening.
An uncontained fury surged through him with no way to release it.

Orion struggled to suppress his emotions as he gazed at the woman before him. His voice was hoarse and dark.
"Seraphina, you can't do this to me. You have to be fair, saved you. I would even give my life for you. How could you fall for someone else so quickly?"
How could she stop trusting him, hurt him, and push him away?
Seraphina watched Orion lose control and became more composed.
If it weren't for him saving her life, she wouldn't be able to talk to him so calmly.
She lowered her gaze slightly, her expression cold as ice.
"Mr. Dros, I'm here to discuss business, not feelings. The online situation? That wasn't entirely your doing, but you can't completely distance yourself from it. Anyway, it's over now."
A cold smile tugged at the corner of Seraphina's lips. Her real move was yet to come.
Orion watched her reaction, slowly calming down inside.
However, his bitter feeling spread quickly. She clearly didn't believe in his innocence.
"Yes, I'm involved. My grandfather orchestrated the public exposure tonight, but I've already dealt with it. You don't have to worry," he said, his tone cold and heavy. He tried to search her face for more of a reaction but found nothing. Seraphina was shocked with the revelation.
So, the real mastermind was Ramona?
Given that they were all members of the Droses, it's possible that Orion was also involved. This whole family was no good.
She chuckled lightly. How could he ask me to believe everything was fine?
This j*rk wants me to pretend nothing has happened.
Well, that's not going to happen.
"Then send my regards to your grandfather," she said, her words layered with meaning.
Orion furrowed. Seraphina's words carried hidden meaning, but he couldn't quite grasp it right away.
He felt something was off.
"So, you're..."
Still mad at me?
Before he could finish, Justin's voice came closer.

He didn't give Orion any respect. His displeasure was obvious, his face full of contempt.

Not long ago, Justin had felt sympathy for him, but now he saw that even the most pitiful people had their dark sides.
"Who allowed you to get so close to my sister?"
He watched Orion lean over, his gaze filled with a burning desire to take advantage of his sister.
No way. He would never allow that.
Orion frowned. Just as he straightened up, Seraphina pressed a button, and her wheelchair moved back, creating a safe distance between them. Justin quickly rushed forward, glaring warily at Orion.
"Mr. Dros, you're the most unwelcome guest in our family. Please leave immediately!"
No one had ever dared speak to Orion like this, given his stature.
But Justin was the one who did that to him; Orion was left with no choice but to hold back.
He pursed his lips, his face tense, and turned his gaze to Seraphina.
Seraphina gave him a cold smile. "Goodbye, Mr. Dros."
Orion hesitated, then nodded. "I'll come to see you soon."
With that, he glanced at Justin and departed, his figure growing heavier with each step.
Seraphina patted the back of her chair and reminded Justin, "Let's go."
Justin quickly pushed her away.
When they reached a cobblestone path, he simply lifted her in his arms.
Seraphina thought for a moment and said, "Clear those cobblestones. They're so inconvenient."
"Dad picked those up one by one from the lake," Justin said, raising an eyebrow. "If you say so, I'll have someone clear them."
Seraphina paused and relented, "Never mind; I thought it was your taste."
Justin smirked. She really wasn't holding back!
"Orion really messed up this time. He set a trap for himself. He must have lost his mind!"
Seraphina reclined in her wheelchair and pressed the button again. Slowly, it rolled forward. Her voice was calm.
"Ramona was the one pulling the strings. Orion's not stupid enough to do it himself."
Justin scoffed in disdain. "I think he's just a hopeless romantic. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let himself be played like that. This time, I'm definitely standing with Wilson!"

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you're backing the right person?"
"Why? Do you still have feelings for Orion?" Justin asked, eyeing her warily.
Seraphina smirked. "I'm better off on my own. And I suggest you choose your side wisely."
Justin made a dismissive grunt and went to his room.
Less than a day passed.
People online were apologizing for jumping to conclusions, though many were still frustrated that the trending topic was taken down so quickly.
Then, unexpectedly, something that had seemed to settle flared up again.
A blogger named 'Green Giant's Boxer' revealed everything in real names, connecting the entire issue.
He exposed that Dros Group's heiress, Hannah, had paid to hire online trolls to spread rumors and slander Seraphina. The lies were as vicious as they could get.
Along with this, he shared chat logs and transaction records between him and Hannah.
The story quickly shot to the top of trending topics.

Green Giant's Boxer exposed the recording and text conversations of his dealings with Ms. Dros to slander Seraphina, along with the transaction records. He even expressed his willingness to cooperate with the police investigation.
In his statement, he expressed a deep regret toward Seraphina. The blogger repeatedly apologized and thanked her for not pursuing legal action against him. However, for the sake of his conscience, he decided to make this public.
He expressed his shame for falsely accusing others for profit and announced that he was deleting his Twitter account, vowing never to use it again.
The most important part of his message was when he warned Ms. Dros, 'Do more good deeds, or the karma will catch up with you!'
So, who exactly is this, Ms. Dros?
She was the sole heiress of the Dros Group.
This was the same foolish woman who had stirred up online discussions by repeatedly slandering Seraphina.
Hannah's troubled past was now once again in the spotlight.
During Seraphina and Orion's marriage, Hannah had shown disdain for her sister-in-law and had caused trouble for her on multiple occasions. This bad temper was typical of someone raised in a capitalist family. It was something detestable by the public.
But at this moment, what people found most detestable was that, using her family's power, she had no fear of smearing another person's reputation.
Wilson and Seraphina were both victims.
"Well, at least this blogger had a conscience, or else how much more would the kind-hearted Seraphina have to suffer from slander?"
"Hannah Dros is jealous that Seraphina is richer and more beautiful than her!"
"I would like to strongly demand the tax authorities investigate Dros Group's tax issues"
The online uproar was loud and fierce.
Hannah wasn't a famous actress, but her status was enough to make others jealous.
But who could she blame when she was the one who messed it up?
Justin, holding his phone, walked into the greenhouse, where Seraphina was wiping the leaves of the plants.

Without the Droses, would she have the nerve to act so arrogantly?
While her peers were working hard for a living, Hannah could waste her family's wealth and bully others online without consequence.
Noticing her anxiety, Justin didn't try to hide it from her, especially since he felt just as satisfied himself.
Only Seraphina would come up with such a plan-turning the tables on them with their own tactics. It was truly satisfying.
"The media's already been in touch. Sivir had invited the high-ranking executive and vice president out for drinks. They're completely out of it right now. Even if Orion moves fast, he won't be able to find them. Pulling back the news is practically impossible. Dros Group's stock has dropped like a rock. In just a minute, they've lost nearly a billion. It's a bloodbath!"

"The Droses are so arrogant, huh? If they dare to target me, I'll cut off their source of income!" She would not spare Orion, Ramona, or Hannah.
Dros Estate.
Hannah had never imagined that the blogger who had stolen her money would betray her.
Wasn't everything she'd built up in front of Orion now a waste?
Terrified, she watched the news online. What should she do?
She attempted to reach the blogger right away, but after two rings, the phone was off.
Hannah sent him a message and commanded, "How much do you want to delete what you post?"
Not long after, the reply came.
"I won't make dirty money. I'll never do anything that goes against my conscience!"
Furious, Hannah threw her phone down. What conscience? He must have been paid even more! Downstairs, Arthur knocked on her door.
She shuddered but kept her cool as she walked over.
Arthur sighed, his gaze complicated.
