Chapter 159 Foolish
Last night, Orion had waited in vain for someone, only to find out that the person who had used the excuse of going abroad for work had shown up here. She was all dressed up and attended Hansen’s birthday party.
It had only been twelve hours apart. The contrast between the way she treated two birthday celebrations couldn’t have been more distinct.
This was practically a humiliation for Orion.
Lucius noticed displeasure clouding Orion’s expression. He cleared his throat and attempted to break the awkward silence,
“Ahem, I think the Colombos are all show and no substance, just a bunch of nouveau riches. It’s just a birthday, right? Is it really worth such a big fuss? Do we really need to give them that much respect?”
Could someone with Orion’s status attend Hansen’s birthday? The Colombos couldn’t possibly have that much sway!
Therefore, Lucius was genuinely surprised that Orion had come.
As he narrowed his eyes slightly, Orion’s gaze remained cold, his voice low and measured.
“I’m just curious to see who would bother attending such a dull event.”
Lucius was at a loss for words.
Wasn’t this guy just curious about whether Seraphina would show up?
Ever since Orion’s divorce, this woman seemed to appear everywhere.
As he was thinking about this, music suddenly started playing from the grand stage in the banquet hall. The melody was lively and cheerful.
Several popular singers and dancers soon took the stage, dazzling the audience with their performances. The stage attracted everyone’s attention.
The event organizers clearly understood that most of the guests were young. Therefore, they tailored the performance to their tastes, and the results were impressive,
Seraphina and Hansen stood closest to the stage. As she watched the person front and center, singing and dancing with enthusiasm, she recognized it was Natalia
The difference between her on–stage and off–stage personas was startling.
The music was loud and energetic, filling the room with its infectious rhythm.
As a waiter passed by, Seraphina casually picked up a glass of juice. She took a sip and shook her head.
“So noisy.”

Hansen leaned in from behind, his voice warm and teler.
“It’s too loud. I don’t want your cars to suffer
Seraphina instinctively looked up. She couldn’t help but smile at Hansen’s words.
Finished
This scene did not go unnoticed by the duo on the second floor. Orion’s eyes darkened further as he set his glass down and walked off without hesitation.
“Orion, don’t cause a scene!”
Lucius hastily called out. He doesn’t have any other explanation for Orion’s reaction.
Meanwhile, the music downstairs abruptly stopped as the performers took their bows, met with enthusiastic applause from the crowd.
As the performers began to descend from the stage, Natalia caught sight of Seraphina in the distance. Natalie smiled at her, her expression full of meaning.
Sarah sensed something was amiss. She quickly moved closer to Seraphina.
“Is Natalia planning something?”
Seraphina smirked, her tone dismissive.
“If someone’s looking for trouble, don’t stop them.”
Sarah raised an eyebrow, reassured by Seraphina’s confidence.
On the stage, Natalia spoke again.
“Hello everyone, I’m Natalia. It’s an honor to be here today to celebrate Mr. Colombo’s birthday.”
The crowd cheered. Hansen raised his glass in acknowledgment.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
As the applause djed down, Natalia spoke once more.

“Pardon me, but I would like to invite Ms. Cross to the stage to play a piece. Would Ms. Cross do us the honor?”
No matter who Seraphina was, Natalia couldn’t stomach it.
Was it such a big deal to be wealthy?
