Chapter 112 The Bombshell 

As soon as Emeris finished speaking, the room fell silent. Everyone felt they had been thunderstruck. 

Simultaneously, the screens of all viewers watching the live broadcast–on their phones, computers, and the massive electronic billboards in Times Square–flashed Seraphina’s photo. 

Emeris wanted the entire world to know that Seraphina was his daughter. 

He had succeeded. 

Everyone present displayed expressions of disbelief. 

Ramona stood at the forefront, her face turning pale with shock, suspicion, and a hint of regret. 

Orion stood there. His expression was stunned and conflicted. 

Hannah and Theresa were far less composed. Theresa broke the silence; her voice was agitated. “Impossible! She’s just a penniless orphan!”

Emeris had personally admitted it–how could he lie? This must be the truth. 

Jessica was unwilling to accept it. She retorted, “What if this is just a lie Emeris is using to restore his family reputation? Unless they have a paternity test …”

Her stature was incredibly prestigious. 

The Droses fell silent. After Emeris’s public declaration, they realised it was pointless to question Seraphina’s identity. 

All of the previous online accusations and insults directed at her suddenly seemed powerless. 

A gold–digging seductress? 

She herself belonged to the world’s most prominent family! 

In that instant, the entire room erupted as if a bomb had gone off. Even the media reporters were
