"I thought nothing could top the revelation that Justin was a Crosses. How did their family manage to produce elites in every field?"

"Prometheus is a trust fund baby! And he kept it so low-key that no one knew!"

"He could have relied on his family, but he chose to set his own standards."

"There's still hope for Albert! Seraphina might remember him."

The chatter in the room drowned out the original speaker, stretching the event for over half an hour.

Aiden clung to Orion's sleeve and refused to let go.

"Did you hear that?"

Orion snapped back to reality. Of course, he had heard it.

All he could think about was Seraphina's voice.

It was like a loop, playing over and over in his mind.

Prometheus's real name was Sergio Cross. He was the son of the Cross Group and Seraphina's brother.

On the surface, Orion maintained a calm and composed exterior. Internally, his emotions were bubbling

1. up.

Anger nearly overcame him just moments ago.

The regret tinged Aiden's tone, making Orioan want to give him a good beating.

"What a surprise! Who would've thought they were siblings? It seems Seraphina isn't into Prometheus after all."

Orion smiles gently. His jawline was sharp and defined, giving him an air of undeniable elegance.

"Seraphina's taste has always been refined."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen for me in the first place?

Aiden decided to ignore him.

How could this guy so shamelessly compliment himself?

Unfortunately for him, Seraphina's preferences have changed.

As the press conference ended, Seraphina and Sergio politely saw everyone off.

The reporters had gained plenty from today-not just the rare sight of Orion smiling but also Sergio's surprise appearance. It was an unexpected delight.

Aiden and Orion exchanged farewells at the venue entrance. Aiden's assistant had been urging him several times as he noticed Orion checking the time repeatedly His leisurely demeanor suggested he was in no rush.

Orion's gaze swept across the room, settling on Seraphina. She was wrapping up the remaining tasks. Her sharp and chic outfit was indeed a refreshing sight.. He smiled slightly and sighed with admiration.

"What a surprise! Nobody expected Seraphina to resolve such a complex situation with a single move. Even though she had to sacrifice something, the company's reputation remained intact. Well-played! Only a sly fox like Seraphina could emerge unscathed from the corporate war."

Orion's expression darkened slightly. He seemed dissatisfied with the comment.

His voice was low and raspy.

"She's just a harmless rabbit."

From Orion's perspective, her method was far too gentle.

Although everything was handled impeccably, the top executives at the Lacuna branch should have borne the full responsibility, not just paid a fine.

Aiden's lips twitched, his eyes flickering with disbelief.

He was speechless.

Seraphina approached, her smile polite and official, void of any extra emotion.

Without sparing a glance at Orion, she addressed Aiden directly.

"This matter will soon be behind us. I apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused."

Aiden raised an eyebrow. He wasn't truly bothered by this.

"As long as it's resolved, Seraphina, you handled it beautifully. Today's news should be enough to bring your company's stock back to its peak. Congratulations!"

He was referring to the revelation of Sergio's identity.

Seraphina smiled slightly and said, "It's a win-win. Congratulations to you too."

"It's getting late, and I have matters to attend to at the office. See you around."

With that, Aiden nodded slightly. He glanced at Orion and left.

Orion watched Seraphina, whose every move was elegant and composed. His heart sank slightly as she directed her courteous, practiced smile at him. After finishing her words, she was ready to leave.

Orion spoke from behind her.

"Seraphina, the matter with Jennifer the other night had nothing to do with me."
