Grace’s eyes flickered as she glanced at Hansen and Seraphina, her voice cautious and tentative.
“I’m Seraphina’s cousin, Grace Royle. Seraphina, I’m so sorry; I must have been mistaken. I saw Hansen take off your clothes, and I thought…”
She spoke hesitantly. Her tone was weak and pitiful, as if she’d been wronged but didn’t dare to speak up.
Seraphina withdrew her gaze from the man behind her, casting a cold, sidelong glance at Grace..
“You thought? How is it that you always seem to assume the worst things?”
“It seems you’ve had a lot of experience in such matters.”
She sneered.
Grace’s face immediately paled.

Seraphina’s laugh was icy. Play the innocent bitch in front of me?
Isn’t this tactic a bit low–level?
“Seraphina, you misunderstood; I didn’t mean anything by it.
“I accidentally spilled some wine on Mr. Dros’s clothes, so I brought him up here to get change. I didn’t know you were here.”
Grace bit her lip. She wore a grieving expression as she swept a glance at Seraphina.
Seraphina’s gaze briefly swept over Orion’s chest, and she noticed the dark stain on his suit.
It appeared that wine had spilled onto his shirt.
lowever, she couldn’t tell whether it was accidental or intentional.
Seraphina grinned.
“Well then, it seems like we’ve interrupted your little moment. Hansen, why are you still standing there? Waiting for a show?”
Hansen raised an eyebrow and immediately stepped forward, offering his arm for Seraphina to take, as though serving a queen.
As they reached the door, Grace graciously moved aside to let them pass.
Orion still stood, rooted in the same spot.
His gaze was dark and unreadable.
He had no intention of stepping aside.
Seraphina raised her eyes slightly.

“What did you mean by ‘little moment“?”
A cold edge laced Orion’s voice.

Haha! So, he wanted to play word games right now? Then he shouldn’t blame me for not holding back. This is my turf, after all.
As Scraphina’s gaze swept over Grace’s anxious face, her smile deepened and took on a hint of sarcasm.
“It means exactly what you think it means.
“With all these people here today, Grace is being so considerate as to spill wine on your clothes and bring you to the lounge. Nobody would believe if it wasn’t to set the stage for what comes next.”
Orion’s expression grew cold. His eyes were icy. His expression was taut and grim.
He looked extremely dissatisfied.
Grace naturally wouldn’t admit anything after being exposed.
Flustered, she glanced at Orion.
“Of course not; I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Her eyes filled with tears as she looked pitifully at Seraphina.
“Seraphina, even if you dislike me, don’t insult me like this?”
Seraphina laughed.
“Insult you? Do you really need anyone else to do that for you?”
Given her actions, there wasn’t much left to say.
Seraphina didn’t spare Grace a second glance.
Not wanting to waste any more time, she continued to walk away.
Orion stood there with his lips pressed into a thin line, his expression dark, and his brow furrowed.
As Seraphina approached him, she caught the faint scent of his cologne, mixed with the subtle aroma of spilled wine. His presence was sharp and chilling.
He didn’t budge.
Seraphina reached out and lightly touched the stained area on his chest. She raised an eyebrow slightly at him.
They were close–so close that Seraphina could hear the steady beat of his heart.
She smiled faintly. Her eyes were narrowing in a way that was both alluring and icy, casting a haughty glance at him.
