Sivir paused for a moment, deep in thought. "The entire scandal involving Ramona and Orion, along with Ramona's resignation from the board, has been widely reported in the news. It might have something to
do
with this.
"But Dros Group is already under Orion's control. No matter what Ramona does, it won't matter." Sivir narrowed his eyes, shaking his head with a stoic expression.
"Not necessarily. Ramona still holds shares.
Though the amount of shares may not be much, it was easy enough to make something of them if one tried.
Seraphina also considered the situation, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't come up an answer. Could Ramona really push Orion out?
with
Since he couldn't, his attempt would all be for nothing.
Orion was no longer just dependent on Dros Group; his power, backed by an unimaginable network of alliances, was far-reaching.
"This party," Seraphina spoke up, "it's probably not something Orion suggested, but there must be a lot of people invited.
"In the past, Ken would always handle the invites, she continued. "But this time, it's just a regular coordinator."
That was the part that seemed off to her.
Just then, her phone buzzed.
It was a message from Wilson.
"Tomorrow afternoon at the Dros Group's event, I'm in need of a date. Will you join me?"
Seraphina raised an eyebrow. Wilson was invited to the Dros Group's event.
That only confirmed the feeling that something wasn't right.
Wilson, with his high status, could attend any high-society gathering.
However, Orion's relationship with him had always been strained. How could he possibly have invited Wilson himself?
She quickly typed back, "Sure."
If she had any doubts, she would find out soon enough.
Seraphina felt a strange anticipation building inside her.
Sivir watched her mischievous smile and shook his head helplessly.
"Looks like you've already decided to go. Should I accompany you?"

Seraphina paused for a moment, then replied, "No need. I already have a date. You should spend your holiday with Kate instead.
Sivir fell mute..
"Oh, by the way, I'm selling the apartment near the office."
She didn't want to run into Orion every time she stepped outside.
Sivir casually chuckled. "Need money?"
"No, I just don't want it anymore.
You have several properties under your name; you are free to leave if you don't want to live there. I have several vacant ones. Pick whichever one you want to stay in."
In Sivir and Emeris's world, rich people only bought houses, never sold them. Therefore, Seraphina's proposal was not fully understood by them.
Seraphina felt as if she was conveying information to an inanimate object. Forget it-what did they know? They were nothing but money-making and romantic machines.
She shrugged, unwilling to discuss it further. "When are you two getting married?"
Sivir was primarily focused on a single, urgent question.
"Who's your date?"
Seraphina pursed her lips. Sivir fell silent.
Both of them were asking difficult questions.
They were siblings, after all-why should they make things difficult for each other?
By evening. Sivir was still out fishing with Kate, keeping Emeris company.
As the sun set, the fish in the pond became more lively.
Meanwhile, Seraphina and Justin slipped away.
Justin wandered over to Sarah's house, while Seraphina went to rest in another apartment near her office- thankfully, she had plenty of places to stay.
The Dros Group hosted an extravagantly luxurious party at the Gilton Hotel the following evening.
The event was intimate yet open, perfectly fitting Ramona's desire to show off while still maintaining some discretion.
Seraphina wore a sleek black gown that highlighted her slender waist. A pearl-and-diamond belt, loosely tied at her waist, gave her an elegant and graceful appearance.
Her features were striking, radiant even, but there was a touch of indifference in her eyes, a cold aloofness amidst the sparkle.
As soon as she stroned out of the car, a wave of admiring envious, and lealous looks came her way. Chapter 571 You Finally Giving Up on Her?

Laucius, still in the car, watched the stunning beauty. He glanced at Orion beside him and couldn't help but
comment.
"Why does Seraphina look even more beautiful after the divorce?"
If someone had told him this was the same frumpy housewife who used to chase after Orion, he would have never believed it.
His comment was brutal.
Orion, hearing the comment, stiffened and looked toward Lucius, his face tightening for a brief moment.
his brow furrowing deeply.
"She's here..."
Lucius turned to him in surprise.
"Isn't she supposed to be here? Have you finally decided to give up on her? That's wonderful!"

Orion's expression darkened as he gave him a cold, piercing glance.
"Do you want to get punched?"
Lucius was left speechless.
He just got his hopes up for nothing.

After a brief pause, Lucius hurriedly urged him, "Then, go find her quickly. Enter together; be her date for the evening
Around them, men were eyeing them with interest, but Orion was sitting here in such a relaxed mood.
Orion's expression shifted, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face. Just as he reached for the door, ready to get out. Lucius grabbed his arm, his tone suddenly serious.
"Forget it! I'll go with you. I'll be your date for tonight!"
Orion pulled his hand away in disgust, his eyes flickering as they landed on something outside. Wilson had already joined Seraphina. They stood together, their smiles radiant and flawless. The presence of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was captivating-just like a painting, it was pleasing to the eyes.
At that moment, the temperature in the car dropped sharply to a freezing point.
-Orion's expression turned glum and sinister, his eyes narrowing with barely contained anger.
Ramona have invited Wilson?
Did he really want to hurt me?
It was not surprising that Ramona had invited Seraphina; perhaps the old man wanted her to witness his failure, to see his pride completely shattered.
He believed it would be sufficient to destroy Orion.
But no, that wasn't enough for him.
That old man had also invited Wilson, seemingly adding insult to injury.
Typical of Ramona, the one who knew Orion best. Every decision he made seemed to be aimed at deepening his pain.
How thoughtful and considerate Ramona is.
Orion clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his forehead visibly throbbed.
Lucius, still unsure of how Droses had arranged things, was perplexed.
Was this some sort of setup to push Orion to the brink?

Better not to say anything.
For a while, they just watched as Seraphina and Wilson linked arms and walked inside.
Finally, Lucius smiled and said, "Let's get out. It's about time."
Though he didn't fully understand the true purpose of the event, something felt off.
As Orion's loyal friend, Lucius would stand by him.
Suddenly, Ken appeared at the car window and gently tapped on Orion's side.

At the hotel entrance, Arthur was there to greet them. When he saw Orion, he paused for a moment, but then bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Orion."
Orion didn't even acknowledge him, his posture exuding authority as he strode into the building.
A number of people approached Orion to exchange pleasantries, but he only nodded in response with a faint smile.
Inside the banquet hall, the interior was opulent, and the place was as bright as day.
The event wasn't the highest tier of gatherings, perhaps because Ramona was eager for everyone to hear
about Dros Group's recent developments, which resulted in an unusually long guest list.
As Seraphina and Wilson entered, a number of people approached them to say hello.
Although Wilson had only recently arrived in Ascotia, his investments spanned across many sectors, which meant he was well-known in various circles.
Many had already heard of him.
Seeing the two of them together, entering as a pair, many people began to quietly speculate on their relationship.
Seraphina, smiling, chatted with someone nearby about a popular musical, showing off her social prowess as usual-an area where she truly excelled.
Wilson, standing not far off, was talking to someone in a casual manner, but his eyes never left Seraphina's direction.
He maintained a soft and tender gaze, seemingly unable to avert his gaze.
A gentleman beside Wilson noticed the unusual look in his eyes and smirked knowingly.
"Mr. Rockwell, there aren't many people like Ms. Cross. If you're interested, you better act fast; there's a line of men waiting."
Wilson raised an eyebrow, a soft laugh escaping him, his demeanor elegant yet coldly dignified. 22:50 Sun, 23 Feb

They should give up," he said, his voice smooth but firm. "I wouldn't give them a chance."
At these words, Lucius and Orion, who had been walking toward them, both came to an abrupt halt. Orion's face turned an even deeper shade of gloom.

Orion was about to walk over, but Lucius suddenly grabbed his arm. "Ramona is here.
Finished
Given the tense relationship between Orion and Ramona, Orion had no intention of going anywhere near him.
Ramona walked over, her face glowing with delight, exuding confidence and strength. Her cloudy eyes were full of sharpness and calculation.
"Seraphina, welcome!" he said, her voice smooth but insincere.
Seraphina hadn't expected Ramona to approach her so casually.
Last time, Ramona had tried to manipulate her into using her to undermine Orion.
Now, this old man acted as if nothing had happened.
If it weren't for her curiosity about the event, Seraphina wouldn't have bothered coming to see Ramona. There was nothing warm or kind about the cunning, deceitful old man!
Seraphina smirked; with the crowd watching, she wouldn't make things awkward for herself. your invitation."
"Chairman... apologies, Mr. Dros, thank you for your
She raised her glass, offering a polite smile.
Ramona's expression stiffened for a moment before returning to its usual composure.
Wilson, standing nearby, stepped forward. "Mr. Dros has stepped down from Dros Group, presumably to enjoy his retirement. Seraphina, we can't continue to address him incorrectly."
Seraphina smiled faintly and played along.
"My bad, I just haven't gotten used to it yet."
To everyone else, it seemed like a simple mistake.
But Ramona understood the sting behind her words-an indirect jab at his failure to seize power.
He had no choice but to swallow this humiliation in silence.
Ramona's wrinkled face tightened for a second, but he quickly regained control; his eyes flickered as he looked at Seraphina.
"You're young, so I won't hold this against you. But seeing the two of you together, I finally understand why you rejected Orion. Indeed, Mr. Rockwell is quite the talented man, and his position in the financial world is significant. I'm truly happy for both of you."
Ramona's tone was almost benevolent, layered with a hidden meaning.
Seraphina's brows furrowed in irritation. His words would only lead to misunderstandings-how annoying! When they heard this, people around them seemed ready to congratulate them.

These claims were false, and neither could explain the situation.
Her face betrayed her annoyance, though she masked it with an icy calm.
Wilson, sensing her discomfort, gently patted her shoulder and smiled reassuringly
Finished
"Thank you, Mr. Ramona, for your recognition. But I'm still in pursuit. While I hope Ms. Cross will accept me, I don't want to cause any misunderstandings or unnecessary trouble for her."
Seraphina turned to him, her eyes glistened with delight.
Stunned, she was surprised by how Wilson had cleared up the misunderstanding without escalating things. Instead of pushing her into an uncomfortable corner, he'd been considerate and understanding. It was heartwarming.
He truly was a thoughtful, impeccable man.
Wilson's explanation might have clarified his relationship with Seraphina to the crowd, but it also subtly announced his pursuit of her.
Not far away. Orion, who had been quietly observing, suddenly stiffened, his face darkening. After that, his eyes flickered with a brief glimmer of realization.
So, they weren't officially together yet.
Orion's clenched fist slowly relaxed. He secretly exhaled softly, finding some measure of peace in the moment.
Not wanting to be the center of attention, Seraphina swiftly changed the subject. "Ramona, what's the theme of this banquet?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone's attention turned to Ramona.
He was still in charge of Droses, though he had stepped down from Dros Group; his influence was still formidable.
Given his age and experience, he was undoubtedly the focal point in such a setting.
Orion, who had been unusually quiet, showed no intention of stealing the spotlight.
No one seemed to notice how unusually silent Orion was.
Ramona saw that it was about time, and many of the guests had arrived.
He turned decisively, his aging form sharp and deliberate, his calculating eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
He stood before the crowd, all eyes on him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's my honor to have you all at the banquet. I'm sure you're all curious about the theme of this event.
He slowly surveyed the crowd before his eyes fixed on Orion, who was casually leaning against a wine cabinet, swirling a glass of red wine with an indifferent expression.
Orion seemed unaffected, neither curious nor attempting to stop Ramona. 24%

The room erupted in shock.
Even Seraphina and Wilson exchanged a brief, surprised glance.
Finished
Seraphina instinctively glanced at Orion. He stood there silently, his expression unreadable, as if this wast none of his concern.
Ramona's shares, along with those of other minor stakeholders, now accounted for nearly thirty percent of the company.
In other words, aside from Orion, the Dros Group had no scattered capital except for the Solman Group. This was both good and bad for the company.
Ramona had, without a doubt, placed a fierce rival in Orion's path.
From now on, every decision he made would have to go through the Solman Group.
That old man was ruthless!
Ramona observed the reactions around the room with satisfaction before continuing.
"Solman Group is internationally renowned; their values align perfectly with those of Dros Group. While I've stepped down from Dros Group, I still hope to see the company integrate into the global development trend, stronger and better than ever. With Solman Group as our shareholder and partner, Dros Group will reach new heights on the world stage!"
The rest of his speech was just more polite formalities.
As soon as he finished, the room fell silent for a moment.
Then, someone started clapping, and slowly, scattered applause filled the air.
If Seraphina wasn't mistaken, it was Ken who had led the applause,
The scene felt oddly off.
Wilson leaned slightly to the side, lowering his voice.
"Solman Group, huh? Ramona sure knows how to play dirty. He hands over the company to someone else but doesn't want to let his own people benefit.
Seraphina, although not entirely surprised, couldn't deny that Ramona, with his petty nature, was exactly the kind of person who would do this.
But it certainly looks ugly.
"Exactly. The old man has always been a control freak-there's no way he would let Orion dictate the company's future. Solman Group is a massive global player with a complex web of capital and deep connections. I've heard they have ties to the Calsarans Conglomerate. Once they get involved with Dros Group, they're not likely to let go easily

When Seraphina was studying abroad, she interned at Solman Group and learned a great deal there. She felt a bit of sympathy for Orion. What was it like to be betrayed?
It was obvious to everyone: this was Ramona's revenge on Orion.
Orion might have forced Ramona to resign, but he couldn't force him to give up his shares.
This situation also made one wonder: Was Orion's reign in the business world coming to an end? "We've reached a friendly agreement with Solman Group!" Ramona announced.
At that moment, a handsome, unfamiliar face appeared on stage.
Jacob Goldberg.
Seraphina narrowed her eyes. If she wasn't mistaken, this was the same Jacob she had worked with during her internship abroad.
Back then, Jacob was just a department manager. Now, he was already promoted to vice president.
His abilities had always been exceptional; it was only a matter of time before he rose through the ranks. Without further thought, Jacob stepped onto the stage, greeted by the gaze of countless people. He smiled. calmly and shook hands with Ramona.
Then, the room fell silent.
Everyone was waiting to see the showdown between Jacob and Orion.
Seraphina couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.
Knowing Orion's personality, he wouldn't just let things slide like this.
Ramona had presented his share transfer agreement publicly, making it impossible for Orion to do anything without drawing attention.
He was making sure Orion had no chance to retaliate, letting everyone know that his shares had been sold. to Solman Group.
Orion had always been so confident, right?
Well, this was Ramona's way of teaching the overconfident, youthful Orion a lesson. After all, Ramona
had. been the one to bring him to this position. Now that Orion had gained power, he dared to oppose him, knowing that Ramona would show him the consequences.

"Orion, you're still young. You should learn from Mr. Goldberg. After all, the two of you will be working
together for a long time. Come up here and say a few words."
He wanted everyone to understand Orion's position now.
In short, that wicked old man wanted to make it clear that Orion was no match for Jacob.
Orion's eyes darkened, his face stern and cold, his expression unreadable.
His presence was as chilling as always, distant, aloof, and full of authority.
Under the watching eyes of all, he finally set his glass down, stepped forward, and walked toward the stage. his tall figure exuding power and confidence.
Surprisingly. Jacob greeted him with a smile; he stepped aside and extended his hand politely.
"Mr. Dros, it's been a while."
Orion's gaze remained dark as he shook Jacob's hand, his voice husky but low enough for the three people on stage to hear.
"Jacob, I sent Ken to pick you up at the airport. Why did you end up with Ramona?"
At these words, Ramona smiled proudly.
Jacob shrugged, his face nonchalant.
"Well, it doesn't matter where I went. Now that I'm here, everything remains the same."
Orion withdrew his hand, his tall figure standing firm, radiating an undeniable aura of authority.
The audience could clearly see that Orion was the focus of everyone's attention.
Even though he had enemies on all sides, his presence and status alone overshadowed everyone else's.
"You're right. It doesn't matter, Orion said, a cold, wicked smile tugging at his lips as he glanced at Ramona, his gaze enigmatic.
Ramona's heart fell at his smile. His face tightened slightly.
Orion spoke with a cold, indifferent tone, turning his gaze toward the guests.
"I believe that Solman Group and Dros Group will have a great partnership."
His words clearly implied that Solman Group had earned its place and standing with Dros Group.
Jacob smiled and walked over, his tone now more serious than before as he addressed the crowd.
"Of course, let me introduce you all to the owner of Solman Group."
Everyone was stunned.

Ramona furrowed his brow and asked, "The president of Solman Group is here too?"
He had only heard about Jacob, the vice president, coming to Ascotia.
The president of Solman Group was shrouded in mystery-few had ever met them. The company's day- to-day matters were managed by professional agents, all of whom acted according to the president's wishes.
Any agent who failed to meet expectations would be replaced.
Jacob, however, had been with the company the longest in his role as vice president. So, his name was well-known in the industry.
He had full authority to represent Solman Group, but the person behind the company remained a mystery. Even though everyone was curious, they couldn't find out the identity of the elusive president.
So when Jacob suddenly announced that the president of Solman Group was here, the curiosity in the room intensified.
No one had expected the mysterious president to make an appearance.
The atmosphere became tense and uncertain.
"Mr. Goldberg, is your president here?"
"Is Solman Group planning to expand into Ascotia's market?"
"I've heard the president is so mysterious that no one in the company even sees them once a year. They only communicate directly with the vice president."
Jacob smiled calmly, unfazed by the curiosity surrounding him.
He gave a slight nod in response to Ramona's question.
"Yes, my CEO is here. He's very pleased to hear that Ramona is willing to transfer shares to Solman Group. From now on, Solman Group and Dros Group are one family."
Ramona's expression shifted, becoming more serious.
He interrupted Jacob mid-sentence and asked, "Where is he? Please have him come on stage." Jacob smiled again.
He stepped back, moving to one side, and raised his hand toward Orion.
"Isn't he already here, Mr. Ramona?"
As his words echoed through the room, the noise died down immediately.
It became so silent that the sound of a needle dropping would have been heard clearly.
Ramona's face twisted in disbelief, an expression of pure shock and anger.
