Chapter 143 Acquiring Wheeler Entertainment.
The auction wrapped up late into the night. As soon as Seraphina went home, she felt exhausted. The moment she hit the bed, she fell asleep instantly.
By the time dawn arrived, sharp rays of light streamed through the sheer curtains, filling the room. Seraphina was reluctant to open her eyes, still savouring the remnants of sleep.
The incessant ringing of her phone jolted her fully awake.
She looked at the caller’s ID. It was Sarah.
She sighed and wondered why her friends couldn’t understand the simple pleasure of sleeping in.
Seraphina answered the call. Her voice was still husky and lazy.
“Little bird, what’s up?”
Sarah exclaimed. “You’re still sleeping? Haven’t you heard? The news about you seducing Albert is all over the place.”
“What? Seducing Albert?” Seraphina’s eyes widened.
They had only met for the first time yesterday.
Sarah laughed, clearly enjoying the situation.
“Albert’s speech video from yesterday got edited. With Justin involved, people are already crafting a love triangle between you three. Guess who’s behind it?”
Seraphina rubbed her temples in exasperation. Did she even need to guess?
Last night, the person most likely to stir up trouble was none other than Jane!
That troll!
Her father owned an entertainment company. It made it easy for Jane to spread rumours online and damage someone’s reputation.
Jane Wheeler, right?”
“Congratulations, you got it.”
Anger surged through Seraphina as she jumped out of bed. She let out a cold snort.
“She dares to mess with me? I’ll make sure she regrets it!”
She hung up the phone and immediately dialled Thomas.
“How much influence do we have at Wheeler Entertainment?”
Seraphina recalled that Emeris had covertly purchased shares in several entertainment companies to shield Justin from bullying after he ventured into Winterwood.

It didn’t take long for Thomas to report back to Seraphina.

“Currently, we hold 18% of the company shares. Justin’s Aurora Entertainment owns 22%. If we acquire another 10%, you’ll become the majority shareholder and have controlling interest.”
In other words, it would be equivalent to a takeover.
Seraphina grunted in response. She nodded in satisfiction.
“Contact the other shareholders in my family name and acquire their shares. Do it quickly.”
With that, she ended the call.
After tending to her wounds, she leisurely made herself a sandwich and casually browsed the day’s headlines, which concerned her.
“Is Albert genuinely attracted to women like Ms. Cross? What should I do? I like her too!”
“Normally, I’d despise anyone with two–timing, but with Seraphina, I think it’s kind of cool!”
Justin is jealous! He’s totally jealous! Hahaha…
“Albert’s still a kid! Did Seraphina manipulate him with an unwritten rule?”
Seraphina chuckled lightly and tossed her phone aside.
