How Many Men Does She Have?

Seraphina nodded. Her expression was calm, and she admitted, "Yes, his old flame has returned."

Orion's presence was impossible to ignore. Someone as smart as Justin would surely notice him.

"Haha. You mean that woman by his side? Seriously, is he blind?"

Seraphina smirked and said, "Tastes differ, I suppose. By the way, the airport photos will definitely go online. Do you want your people to handle that?"

Justin scoffed indifferently and said, "No, it's fine. I will show him just how in demand my sister is."

If Orion hadn't sudde ly

ared, he wouldn't have wanted to expose Seraphina to the public. Since he did, Justin couldn't let him think Seraphina lacked charm.

His sister was the centre of attention.

"My dear brother, do you know how many scandals I've been involved in recently? I might as well be part of your entertainment industry." Seraphina laughed helplessly. Her popularity on the internet could easily make many in the industry envious. So be it. With me here, you can fit into any industry."

In the car at the airport entrance, the atmosphere was suffocatingly tense.

Ken asked cautiously, "Mr. Dros, where are you now? Should we bring Ms. Jessica to the hotel?"

Hotel?

Why would I need to stay in a hotel?

Orion's house is big enough; there has to be room.

Jessica quickly looked at Orion and said, "I wanted to go to your house and meet everyone. It's been a long time since I've seen Theresa. I brought gifts for them."

Orion's gaze deepened, and his face darkened. He said, "You should go to your uncle's house. In a few days, it'll be your brother's memorial. Isn't that why you returned?"

For some reason, he seemed to resent Jessica's suggestion.

Did he allow her too much access to his life, to the point that even Seraphina misunderstood their relationship?

Thinking of Seraphina, he suddenly recalled the recent scene. Tall and handsome Justin held Seraphina tightly in his arms, and she didn't resist. The two were left in full view. That scene was still vivid in his mind. It was quite an eye sore.

How many men does she have?!

Jessica paused. She sensed Orion's resentment. She was wary of this and quickly changed her words. "Yes, but if I go straight to my uncle's, it will only make them sadder." That's why I thought of going later."

back through the rearview mirror, then quickly turned away. The atmosphere was ice-cold!

Jessica clenched her fingers and bit her lower lip. The look in her eyes glinted slightly

"I think I just saw Seraphina. Isn't she getting involved with Sivir? How did she come to be involved with the superstar? It seems that after your divorce, her life has been quite free and easy, with men one after another, Ken, don't you think so?" As Orion's complexion darkened, Jessica quickly tried to pass the conversation on to Ken in order to escape the predicament.

The mention of Ken elicited no response, Ken simply kept his head down and was busy working on his iPad's work schedule, feigning as if he hadn't heard.

Ken was inwardly cursing. I'm jus mployee. Why is this silly woman dragging me down in this mess?

Some time had passed without anyone speaking.

The atmosphere in the car grew even more stifling.

Jessica gripped her clothes tightly. She was shocked when she saw the car stop at the hotel entrance. "Orion, I..."

She didn't want to stay in a hotel. Now that Seraphina was gone, she had a chance to move in openly,

Orion checked his watch. He stayed in the car and showed no sign of getting out. He glanced at Jessica indifferently and said, "You should spend more time with your family. I'll have someone send you to the airport in three days." 394

Chapter 77

Would You Like to Wear Pantyhose?

Jessica's face froze for a moment. Did Orion want me to leave the country?

Impossible. Does that mean there is no chance between them

"Drive" Orion ordered,

"Wait!" Jessica stepped forward, her eyes reddening. "Are you still furious at me? Is it because I played a trick on Seraphina last time? I was joking with her, and didn't mean her harm! If you are not pleased about it, I can apologise." Orion's gaze was icy. He slightly raised his eyes and spoke in an icy voice, "You should apologise to Seraphina instead of me."

Jessica was shocked at his words. Orion didn't give her another glance, instead directing his attention to the driver. "What are you waiting for? Drive!"

"Yes, Mr. Dros." The driver complied, immediately started the car, and sped away,

Jessica was petrified in place as she watched the car drive away. The grievance in her eyes gradually turned into anger.

I hadn't been gone for a long time; why did Orion treat me so cold?

He actually defended Seraphina.

Seraphina must have done something while I was away. They were already divorced, so why was she still entangling with Orion? Bitch!

Furious, Jessica took out her phone and dialled a number. Her voice was gentle as she began, "Hannah, I'm back in town."

Sivir was on a business trip and left his house vacant. Despite this, Justin insisted on following Seraphina home.

The two of them tugged at each other until they reached the door. Seraphina was reluctant, and she protested, "Sivir's villa is available. Why do you insist on staying with me? I don't want your insane fans to destroy my house, Justin responded with a rougish demeanour, saying, "I'll stay wherever I want. Are you going to kick your dearest brother out?"

Seraphina reluctantly opened the door and recorded Justin's fingerprint. Satisfied, Justin nodded and swaggered in.

Once inside, Justin looked around at the cor. Originally, their father gave Seraphina this house as a secret base to ensure she had a place to stay in case she argued with her husband and left the house. Seraphina didn't come here often. She only moved in after getting a divorce.

Seraphina didn't continue to wrong herself. After moving in, she redecorated the place to her liking.

Would You Like to Wear Pantyhose?

Your taste in art is as bad as ever. This doesn't look like a house belongs to a girl." Justin said disdainfully. gnoring him, Seraphina poured herself a glass of water and said. "I like it this way. It's none of your Business" Justin snorted and went to the bathroom to undress and shower. He declared. "The biggest bathroom is mine." Seraphina shrugged indifferently.

Suddenly, the bathroom door opened a crack, and Justin poked his head out. He asked, "I didn't bring a change of clothes. Do you have anything I can wear?"

"Do you want pantyhose with lace trim?" Seraphina rolled her eyes. How could she have men's clothes ready?

"Damn!" Justin imagined himself in pantyhose and felt a wave of disgust. He said, "Never mind. It's still early. Can you buy me some casual clothes? Don't tell me you don't know my size."

With that, Justin retreated and started humming as he showered.

"You are so troublesome."

Though complaining. Seraphina dutifully took out her phone and called a clothing store she often visited.

She asked, "Do you have any new casual men's clothing?"

The shop hadn't received her call in a while, and she almost forgot who it was. The staff replied, "Yes, we just received three new sets of men's casual wear from a renowned designer, Joel. Which one would you like? Should I send you pictures?" Seraphina thought for a moment and waved her hand. "No need. Give me a free size; I'll take them all. Send them to my house."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

The staff looked at the number and checked the address in their system. Shocked, she shouted, "It's Seraphina!"

Chapter 78

The Thorned Rose

It wasn't long before Justin emerged from the bathroom in a bathrobe. The sound of the doorbell welcomed Justin as soon as he walked out.

"Your clothes have arrived. It's cash on delivery, so don't forget to pay."

Seraphina lounged on the massive, soft round sofa in the living room and was engrossed in her phone. She showed no intention of answering the door. With a sigh of resignation, Justin had to open the door himself in his bathrobe. As he walked, he teased Seraphina. "Just a few pieces of clothing, and I have to pay? Can't you just buy it as a gift for your brother? I've never seen such an inconsiderate sister.

The moment he opened the door, his voice halted abruptly. Justin's expression instantly turned cold, and he questioned, "What are you doing here?"

His good mood vanished in an instant.

Orion was surprised to see him there as well. His complexion darkened as he glared at Justin with icy eyes and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Evidently, Justin had just showered. Did he go straight to Seraphina's house from the airport?*

Since they left the airport, their photos and rumours have spread like wildfire. The buzz was unstoppable.

Through various channels, Orion had discovered Seraphina's current address. He intended to come in person to explain things clearly. He was willing to make amends for the three years in which he had wronged her.

Last time, she mentioned a condition where he needed to choose between the project and the pipe.

Orion couldn't make a decision; therefore, he came to talk with her in person. If there were any other conditions, he wouldn't even blink to fulfil them.

But to find these two together in broad daylight...

He couldn't stop his imagination from going wild and wondering what they were doing.

Justin sensed Orion's thoughts. He added fuel to the fire with a smirk. Justin dried his wet hair with the towel in his hand and asked, "Why can't I be here? I live here." These two are actually living together!

The anger and disappointment made Orion lose his composure.

"Who's there?" Seraphina heard the commotion and found the visitor didn't sound like the delivery person. She walked to the door, and her eyes immediately narrowed. "What are you doing here?"

It was a surprise for Orion to show up at the door.

The man at the door emanated a gloomy chill. His eyes were coldly fixed on her and filled with suppressed

Chapter 79

The Tabloid News

Orion stared intently at the tightly shut door, his chest heaving with frustration. He felt like he had faced more aggravation in the past few days than in his entire life.

Inside the room, Justin let go of Seraphina. He noticed her pale face and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Are you upset?"

"No, I just remembered why that guy came to see me. Never mind, he just wants the smoking pipe back."

Seraphina shook her h. If he wanted the pipe, he would have to make her happy first.

The so-called Giant Group project was just a scheme Seraphina devised to put Orion in a tough spot.

Orion, there's no such thing as having the best of both worlds.

Justin wanted to say more, but Seraphina was clearly annoyed and went back to her room to make a call.

The doorbell rang again. Justin frowned as he thought Orion was still persistent. He decided that it was time to teach Orion a lesson.

He opened the door and found six women standing before it in professional three-piece suits. Each holds numerous boxes. Despite their surprise at seeing Justin, they maintained their professional smiles. One of them asked, "Is this Ms. Seraphina's home?"

"It is."

"These are the latest men's suits in free size that Ms. Seraphina ordered. The total is 1.2 million dollars. Where should we put them?"

Justin was stunned. He was frustrated and helpless as he made way for them. Justin said, "Put them on the couch."

"Yes, sir." Those women entered the room, but they didn't glance around and kept their eyes closed. Justin swiped his card without blinking and closed the door with a cold snort. After that, he headed back to his room to get some rest.

Outside, those women exchanged glances. Their eyes flashed with an excited gleam.

"Was that Justin?"

"It was! He's my idol. I'd recognise him anywhere!"

"I can't believe he's staying at Seraphina's place. Are they living together?"

The photos in the airport had already fueled speculation. However, there was no concrete evidence of a special relationship between Seraphina and Justin.

Today, the news of their cohabitation spread quickly as the women shared it with their friends. Soon, the gossip will make trending news online.

scoop.

Immediately upon stepping outside, Seraphina encountered dozens of cameras aimed at her. This constant scrutiny made her extremely frustrated, leaving her with no choice but to stay at home and avoid going out. With Sivir absent, the company couldn't let Seraphina stay at home to hide from the media's prying eyes.

Thomas had called a dozen times, leaving Seraphina no choice but to drive to the office.

Her assistant awaited her arrival and hurried over as soon as she got out of the car. "Seraphina, shoul

PR department handle the rumours about you and Justin?"

While driving, Seraphina glanced at the news online. There were all sorts of comments, but she didn't care.

However, she believed that if this continued, it might begin to negatively impact the company.

"I'll call Michael. There is no need for the company to get involved."

"Understood," Thomas sighed in relief and said, "There's also ..."

He hesitated to speak his mind, which was rare for him.

"Speak up," Seraphina prompted, casting a glance at him.

Thomas pursed his lips and said, "There have been some rumours circulating within the company. They're quite nasty." "About me? What are they saying?"

Seraphina didn't need to guess; it was surely about her own scandal. Otherwise, why would Thomas be so troubled?

"They're saying you got divorced because you were entangled with Mr. Colombo while being Mr. Sivir's secret lover and involved with Mr. Justin. They claim you're just a discarded woman from the Droses." Seraphina laughed in disbelief and asked, "Is this Ramona's doing?"

He had previously called Emeris in front of Seraphina, accusing her of having a chaotic private life.

It wasn't surprising that someone would target her.

"Not him."

Surprised, Seraphina asked, "Who then?" Thomas answered, "It's Julia Lane."

Chapter 80

Julia's Counterattack

The elevator was enveloped in silence. Seraphina's expression gradually turned cold. With a disdainful chuckle, she remarked, "She still doesn't understand her situation. How can she still have the nerve to cause trouble?" Thomas paused and detailed, "Mr. Cross initially planned to deal with them after returning home, but if you wish to take action now, I can make the preparations."

All the evidence was already in their hands. Handing it over to the authorities would mean a dead end for Julia.

The elevator doors opened. The staff that passed by greeted Seraphina warmly.

Seraphina smiled.esponded to each of them. Once she was back in her office, she snickered and said, "Find out her recent activities. I want to teach her a lesson."

Thomas reported, "Recently, she has been mingling with some wealthy noble ladies and heiresses. I heard there's a salon gathering tonight."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, "Send the address to my phone later. I'll join the fun."

"Yes." It wasn't difficult for Thomas to find this information. Seraphina gave him a glance and said, "If there's nothing else, you may leave. Tell my brother that I'm going to strike." "Understood, Seraphina."

After a while, Seraphina gave Michael a call. His familiar, nonchalant voice came through.

"Seraphina, are you going to make a debut?"

He was mocking her for hogging the spotlight. Seraphina rubbed the centre of her brows and said, "Supress the news for now. Justin had messed things up."

Michael chuckled and said, "It looks like your brother's trying to protect you. I even saw Mr. Dros's appearance in the photos. Is he trying to drive your ex-husband nuts?"

Would Orion get mad just because she was seen with another man?

Seraphina paused and said, "I don't want to appear in the same photo with him. Michael, please do something about it."

"You're the boss now. Just give the order, and I'll follow it." Michael laughed This woman never saw herself as the boss.

After hanging up, Seraphina received the address Thomas had sent to her phone. It looked familiar-it was an upseale club near the Blues.

Coincidentally, she had a membership there.

In the Dros Group's office building.

Orion stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows in his office. He looked at the bustling traffic below and slowly

calmed his restless mind.

Julia's Counterattack

Reflecting on it, what could they do in a short time after they returned from the airport?

He just saw Justin at Seraphina's place and felt there might be something between them. Maybe he had misinterpreted the situation.

However, the online buzz didn't diminish at all. People were criticising Seraphina for being a slut and accusing her of hooking up with Justin right after her divorce. They accused her of probably having had an affair before her divorce. Justin's fans were divided. Some supported his right to love freely and openly, while others disapproved, believing Seraphina's past made her unworthy of him.

Some said Seraphina was natur

unscathed because she had sec

flirtatious and restless, despite marrying into a wealthy family. She left

the household's secrets.

Those so-called exposés and deep dives into their private lives were completely unfounded.

Orion laughed out of anger. Hidden story?

If there were hidden stories, did those people deserve to know the actual story?

Ken knocked on the door and entered the office. He said, "Mr. Dros, there's a document that needs your signature."

Orion's gaze darkened, and he commanded, "Suppress the online buzz about the airport before someone discovers dirt that could affect the company's stock price."

Ken was initially surprised, but he quickly understood. "Roger that, Mr. Dros, I'll handle it right away."

A while later, Ken knocked and entered again. He reported hesitatedly, "Mr. Dros, the online buzz has subsided. All news about Ms. Seraphina has disappeared." Orion paused. So quickly?

"I haven't contacted any media or platforms yet. It seems like someone else has handled it."

Orion asked, "Who is it?"
