SWNOVELS Chapter Inhert 132
Chapter 132 The Apology
Hannah instinctively stepped back, feeling for the first time that her brother's tolerance had its limits.
But why? She simply used public opinion to go against Seraphina, as she had done before.
What's wrong with that?!
Though unwilling, Hannah knew now was not the time to argue with an upset Orion. She decided to change the subject. That reporter suddenly interjected, "Mr. Dros, your sister still hasn't settled the final payment, but since the job wasn't completed, I won't ask for the full payment. Could you let me off the hook?"
The atmosphere grew even colder.
"Shut up!" Hannah snapped.
What a clueless fool!
"There's only one way, Hannah. You must personally apologise to Seraphina," Orion said.
His gaze was intense and commanding.
"Why should I apologise to her? Didn't the plan fail?"
The situation online had reversed. Hannah had failed to drag Seraphina down and caused trouble for her family.
This had already left Hannah very dissatisfied.
Why did Seraphina always get so lucky?
Orion spoke with an icy voice. "You can refuse, but don't expect another dime from our family."
Hannah stared up at him. She was shocked and pale.
"Don't even think about borrowing money using the family name. I will notify everyone about your expulsion from the family.
His voice was cold and deep, carrying a sharp, intimidating aura.
Orion's gaze was deep and dark, his face devoid of warmth.
Her brother was a man of his word.
Hannah realised he wasn't joking!
Her voice trembled, filled with grievance.
"Why? Why are you siding with her? Aren't you divorced? Don't you want to be with Jessica?"
What was Seraphina to him?
Why should she be repeatedly disgraced because of her?

Orion's voice was cold and stern.

"Your clumsy tactics against Seraphina caused a drop in company stocks. Billions had been evaporating for a few hours. And you ask me, why?"
Suddenly, the room felt like an ice cellar.
Hannah was too shocked to speak.
Billions had evaporated.
She had only spent tens of thousands to bribe a reporter to trouble Seraphina.
"And for the record, there's nothing going on between Jessica and me. You'd better get your facts straight. Jessica will never have anything to do with our family." Orion finished coldly. He cast a final, icy glance at her before leaving.
Have I been misunderstood all along?
Hannah's body remained rigid, trembling with panic and dread.
She had a foreboding sense of impending doom!
After Orion left, Ken walked in and glanced at the reporter.
"You can go now. Remember Mr. Dros' words? Stick to celebrity gossip and stay out of business industry matters, or you won't know what hit you."
"Yes, yes."
The reporter quickly agreed and scurried away.
Ken adjusted his glasses and looked at the stiff Hannah as he approached.
"Ms. Dros, Mr. Ramona called for you."
Hannah was stunned. She remembered her grandfather and believed he wouldn't abandon his granddaughter. "What did he say?"
His exact words were, "Get the fuck over here within twenty minutes or you will be kicked out of the family!" Hannah never imagined that her small action would cause so much trouble for the company.
And Seraphina, the one she wanted to deal with the most, remained unscathed!
Back at the estate, Ramona berated her for an entire afternoon.
No one dared to plead on her behalf.
Ramona had the same attitude as Orion. He insisted; please apologise to Seraphina now! 2/3

Seraphina was no longer the woman they could bully a true CEO of Cross Group!
Fighting her to the end brought no benefit to the Dross
Ramona needed Hannah to understand this reality.
