From start to finish, Natalia didn’t utter another word. She was too paralyzed with fear for her future and was trembling uncontrollably, 

She not only faced a ban in Ascotia but also had a substantial debt to settle. 

The scandal would follow her to Ocliana. It was an indelible stain on her reputation. 

David led her away with an icy expression. 

Sarah let out a derisive laugh. Small fry, like Natalia, were digging their own graves. It had become a familiar sight. 

Jane was just one example; unfortunately, no one ever seemed to learn. 

Suddenly, she remembered something. Sarah turned to Seraphina and asked, “What was that about with Orion earlier?” 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and spread her hands. She said, “How should I know?” 

“That look in his eyes… something felt off.”

Seraphina and Sarah reentered the room, and the lively chatter resumed as if the earlier tension had never 

existed. 

Everyone 

exchanged “ware of Seraphina’s status. Therefore, to one dared to pressure her to drink. They 

polite words before moving on. 

Feeling a bit weary, Seraphina wandered to the balcony. It was quiet and serene, offering a perfect view of the shimmering lake in the distance, accompanied by the scent of blooming flowers. 

Just as she began to relax, she heard footsteps approaching. 

“Seraphina, what are you doing here?” 

Lucius was there. 

Her previously calm expression tightened with irritation as she shot him a cold glance. 

“Do I need your permission to be somewhere?” 

She didn’t need anyone meddling in her affairs. 

Lucius felt the pressure. He mustered the courage to approach her, as he had decided to speak up for his buddy. 

“That’s not what I meant, but that watch… Why didn’t you give it to Orion? He waited for you all night at his birthday party, but you never showed up.” 

He muttered and felt sorry for Orion. 

Seraphina let out a cold laugh and shot him an icy glance. 

When had I ever told him that the watch was meant for Orion? How absurd! 

“Lucius, where do you get the confidence? Why should I attend someone else’s birthday party, and why should I give a gift to someone I hate?” 

Don’t you have a sense of what’s going on? 

Lucius hesitated and was about to respond, but he noticed a slight movement behind the curtains–a figure with a familiar height and build. 

His mouth went dry, and his eyes flickered with shock and regret. 

This is bad. 

“Hate? Do you hate me?” 

The words hit Seraphina, and she stiffened slightly, turning around in surprise. 

Somehow, Orion had positioned himself just in front of her, concealed by the massive floor–length curtains. She hadn’t noticed him at all, not realizing there had been someone standing nearby from the very beginning

Chapter 163 A Three–Year Delayed Apology 

With a complex look in his eyes, Orion looked at her. Is voice was unnervingly calm. 

Seraphina averted her gaze and grinned gently. 

“I thought it was obvious that I hated you, but it seems Mr. Dros didn’t catch on.” 

Now that he had heard it, there was no point in hiding it. 

Might as well acknowledge it. 

It was better that they both knew where they stood. 

Lucius stood there and felt utterly out of place. He regretted his decision to intervene. Why did I get involved? 

If only none of this had happened… 

He cleared his throat, closing his eyes as he silently slipped away from the scene. 

This was nothing short of a nightmare. 

Orion continued to scruntinize Seraphina’s profile, but his heart was sinking. 

She hates me? 

That answer was more painful than he had anticipated. 

Did she have a reason to hate me? 

Of course, she did. 

Orion was also beginning to hate himself. 

There were no outsiders present; no one would overhear their conversation. 

Orion managed a bitter smile. 

“It seems no matter what I do, you won’t forgive me, will you?” 

L 

Seraphina glanced at him, mildly surprised. 

She seemed to catch a glimpse of sadness in his eyes.
