Chapter 122 Teaching Her a Lesson
The Wanted Criminal…
Though she knew that revealing her identity would bring trouble, Seraphina never expected it to come so swiftly.
When Thomas noticed the solemnity on Seraphina’s face, he reassured her, “Don’t worry, Seraphina. Security has apprehended all the identified criminals. We’ve extracted some important information from them.”
“What is it?” Seraphina asked.
Thomas paused before continuing, “A few of them confessed that they were instructed by someone to harm you.”
“Did they mention who?” Seraphina pressed.
“It was Jessica Yancy,” Thomas revealed.
Seraphina showed a hint of surprise when she heard the name.
She had assumed her enemies were either international criminals or business rivals of the Crosses.
Seraphina hadn’t expected it to be this woman.
Curiosity piqued, and Seraphina started to question Jessica’s intelligence.
When she learnt the identity of the mastermind, Seraphina’s interest waned. She said, “If it’s her, there’s no need to worry.”
“What should we do next?” Thomas asked.
“Teach her a lesson; make sure she remembers it,” Seraphina instructed.
“Understood.”
With Emeris and Sivir’s arrival, Justin felt awkward staying at Seraphina’s place. However, he didn’t want to live with his father.
As per Justin’s words, “That old man is biassed against me. He can’t stand seeing his son relax at home.”
If Justin stayed with Emeris, he could already envision himself receiving criticism six times a day–once before each meal as an appetiser and once after each meal as a post–dining exercise.
After much pleading from Justin, Seraphina agreed to help him buy a new house.
She set aside some time and arranged to visit a real estate office with Olivia.
As they approached a sales office, the two stopped.
Olivia, puzzled, asked, “Does your family need more houses? The Cross Group has so many properties.

Seraphina shook her head and said, “No, those properties are too popular. The surroundings will be noisy. and Justin won’t like that.”
The building’s interior was elegant and quiet–quite high–end.
“This is a Dros Group property. Has Ms. Cross come to the wrong place?*
A familiar, sinister voice sounded from behind them.
Seraphina turned around, meeting Julia’s gaze.
“Oh, Julia?”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow and smiled. She said, “Even better, I want a Dros property.”
“You’re not welcome here. Get out!”
Julia said it bluntly, her expression changing rapidly and leaving everyone dumbfounded.
If it weren’t for Seraphina, would she have fallen from being a high–level executive in a listed company to a sales agent?
Her peers in the industry had suppressed her because of her tarnished reputation.
