Chapter 193 Confrontation
She walked past the two women without a glance, heading straight into the house.
A waiting servant immediately stepped forward, respectfully taking her bag and helping Seraphina change
her shoes.
Seraphina calmly cast a glance at Justin, who was sipping coffee in the living room.
“Justin, why haven’t you been to the company lately? I heard Michael is planning to promote some new
talent.
Justin gave her a nonchalant look.
Tm just thinking about early retirement; is that a problem?”
Seraphina snorted. She was about to retort when Flora chimed in at the worst possible moment.
“Seraphina, I heard you took over the company. Congratulations!”
Seraphina forced a smile and said, “Thank you.”
“Seraphina,” Grace said with a mix of admiration and jealousy in her eyes. “You’re incredible. Dad always tells me that I should learn from you if I want to be as successful.”
Seraphina paused in her steps, hesitating for a moment before responding.
“Really? Uncle Alexander is being too kind.”
Her uncle wasn’t one to compliment her.
Flora quickly added with a smile, “Yes, Seraphina. I brought Grace here today because I’d like her to help out at the company. It would be a wonderful learning experience for her.”
Seraphina stopped, and her brow was furrowed slightly
Noticing the change in Seraphina’s expression, Flora anxiously continued, “It doesn’t have to be an important position. A senior management role or even a supervisory one will do. After all, Grace is family. Your sister deserves a fair chance.
Seraphina’s frown deepened.
Flora had some nerve, coming here to ask for a position like that. She had the nerve to ask for a senior management role just like that.
Before Seraphina could respond, Justin couldn’t help but scowl
His lazy voice broke the silence.
“Isn’t ruining Uncle Alexander’s company enough? Now, you want to ruin us? Cross Group doesn’t support freeloaders!”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow. Since when did Justin’s words sound so pleasing?

Justin’s words were blunt, to say the least; he didn’t show the mother and daughter any respect.

She often flaunted her status as Mrs. Cross, and her influence had extended far. Everyone knew she was Uncle Alexander’s, so why wasn’t anyone listening?
“Justin, how can you say that? We’re all family. Grace is your sister too, Flora said, her dissatisfaction clear.
Justin pointed at Seraphina.
“This is my sister. I don’t recall having a sister named Royle.”
Flora’s anger started to show as she turned to Seraphire,
“Seraphina, I know you’re in charge now. Giving your sister a position shouldn’t be a big deal, right?”
Seraphina was directly addressed. She paused, and a meaningful smile played on her lips.
“If Grace wants to join Cross Group, it’s doable.”
Flora let out a relieved smile, and before she could feel pleased, Seraphina continued.
“Every year, Cross Group focuses on hiring top–tier management talent through HR. If Grace has the ability, she’s welcome to submit her resume.”
The atmosphere grew tense.
Flora frowned. Her tone became sharp and sarcastic.
“Why make things so complicated? It’s just a matter of you saying the word. She’s a family member. Why are you being so petty?”
Grace nodded in agreement and chimed in from the side, playing the part of the obedient sister.
“Yes, Seraphina, I just want to learn the ropes of doing business.”
Seraphina inwardly sneered, speaking slowly and deliberately.
