SWNOVELS Chapter Inhert 156
Chapter 156 Embarrassment
Orion suddenly stood up. The sound of his chair scraping against the floor echoed in the room as he briskly walked towards the entrance.
Lucius sighed in resignation and followed suit.
When they reached the entrance, there was no one there.
"What's all this fuss about?"
Lucius barked at the person who had caused the unnecessary commotion and gave the wrong information.
The man froze. When he saw the dark expression on Orion's face, he awkwardly smiled.
He pulled out his phone and explained.
"My friend just sent me a video. Seraphina was at their party."
Before he could finish his sentence, the phone was snatched out of his hand.
Orion opened the video, which showed a group of men and women dancing together while others were drinking nearby. Seraphina stood there, holding a glass of wine, smiling as she watched the dancers. Everyone was dressed to the nines. Seraphina's stunning gown made her shine even brighter, drawing all eyes to her.
Around her were Hansen and Olivia, among others.
"Where is this?" Orion's voice was icy.
The man, finally snapping to attention, answered quickly.
"Oh, it's a newly opened bar.
Orion's breathing became heavy.
What nonsense about going abroad!
It was an excuse to avoid attending his birthday party!

Just then, Ken happened to pass by. Orion glanced at him. Then he threw the phone back to the man who had shown him the video before coldly addressing Ken.
Your bonus for this month is gone.
Ken was shocked.
At this birthday party, everyone except the guest of honor was having a wonderful time.
Orion left in the middle of the event, and no one knew why.
He couldn't control himself. Soon, he found his car parked outside that newly opened bar.

Chapter 156 Embarrassment
By the time he went inside, Seraphina's group had already left.
Back in his car, he felt an unbearable heaviness in his chest.
Finished
The cigarette between his fingers flickered, the ember glowing and fading, until it finally burned out in the wind.
He received countless birthday wishes on his phone until midnight, but none of them were from her.
This birthday felt utterly meaningless.
As fate would have it, the next day was Hansen's birthday.
Hansen's party was extravagant, held right in the villa on their estate.
While the Colombos' wealth didn't quite match the Crosses, they wielded significant influence in Ascotia's political scene. Business moguls and political heavyweights, including a former president, attended Hansen's birthday party. The scale of the event was astonishing. Seraphina arrived wearing an elegant, strapless gown in a deep green. Her fair skin, accentuated by her simple yet sophisticated choices, radiated her brilliance.
Benjamin, the butler who came to fetch her, nodded in agreement.
"You look stunning today, Ms. Seraphina."
Seraphina smiled and said, "Naturally."
She glanced at the car behind him. When the driver wasn't taking the wheel, Benjamin usually drove one of his own cars.
According to her, Benjamin had over a dozen cars of his own.
"A new Porsche? Why isn't it the latest model? Has my dad been stingy?"
Benjamin smiled politely, his tone respectful.
"Not at all, Ms. Seraphina. Mr. Justin didn't want me driving the same model as him, so I went with a classic.
Seraphina blinks in surprise. "Why should you care about Justin? He's being ridiculous!"
Benjamin chuckled and opened the car door for her.
He offered, "Please, let me drive: you there."
Numerous socialites and heiresses greeted them when they arrived. Understated luxury adorned the manor.
Seraphina was slightly taken aback.
This was beyond the scale of a mere birthday party.
"It's just a birthday. Why is Hansen going all out?"

Benjamin smiled, stepped out to open her door, and explained the situation.
This is likely his father's doing, using the occasion to help Hansen find a suitable match."
No wonder!
Seraphina thought to herself, realizing the situation.
"Seraphina!"
Sarah waved at her from a distance. Seraphina spotted her and walked over with a smile.
"Where are the others?"
"They're all inside. I came out to get you."
Seraphina waved goodbye to Benjamin and followed Sarah inside.
They hadn't walked far when a familiar voice made her stop in her tracks.
"Didn't they say Ms. Cross was impressive? Why is she here with such an old man as her date?"
Seraphina turned her head to see a blonde woman she didn't recognize.
Haha!
"Who the hell are you?"
Seraphina wasn't one to be polite to people who showed hostility towards her.
"Ms. Cross, as expected, lacks manners."

The blonde woman sneered and added, "I'm Natalia Ivanova. You may not know me, but Jane told me a lot about you. So, now that you can't get back with your ex-husband, are you planning on marrying some old man instead?"
