Chapter 212 The Power of the Crosses
Jennifer stood to the side, her tone dripping with sarcasm, as she watched the scene unfold.
“It seems that Mr. Dros is just another fool. Ms. Cross certainly doesn’t lack men fawning over her.”
Seraphina’s gaze turned sharp, cutting into Jennifer.
“Jennifer, don’t be too quick to enjoy someone else’s downfall. You should worry about yourself.”
Before she even finished, Ken’s voice echoed with a hint of surprise.
“Mr. Dros, someone is here. It’s Mr. Sivir Cross and Mr. Colombo!”
The moment Jennifer heard Hansen’s name, her face turned ashen.
She glared at Seraphina, her eyes full of fury.
“When did you call them here?”
Seraphina had always been under her watchful eye.
She hadn’t even had the chance to use her phone.
Seraphina raised an eyebrow. She waved her heels, then slipped them back on with a smooth, fluid motion.
She lifted her chin arrogantly.
“Do you know how expensive these heels are? Losing something worth 8 million isn’t the issue, but I need to know how it went missing.”
The alarm on her heel was directly linked to the Crosses‘ surveillance system.
How could the Crosses heiress leave home unprepared?
Jennifer was naive!
Sivir arrived quickly with his bodyguards, encircling the place completely.
Hansen’s eyes turned red with fury as he took in the scene. He glared exasperatedly at Jennifer.
His voice was cold and barely restrained as he addressed Seraphina.
“Did she hit you?”
Jennifer shivered at Hansen’s words.
The usually carefree, flirtatious Hansen now looked like he wanted to tear someone apart.
Jennifer’s years of perseverance and admiration seemed insignificant at that moment.
Her expression held a trace of hurt, but no one cared about her feelings.

Chapter 212 The Power of the Crosses
“She doesn’t have what it takes,”
Both Hansen and Sivir felt a sense of relief at her words.
Sivir casts a complicated look at Orion.
If Seraphina hadn’t been in danger, she wouldn’t have triggered the alarm.
Were those guys working for Orion or Jennifer?
“What brings Mr. Dros here?”
Orion’s face remained impassive as he looked at Seraphina, his expression dark.
Lucius quickly stepped forward and explained the situation once again. This time, more earnestly.
Ken chimed in, supporting his explanation.
Sivir withdrew his gaze. He was confident in Orion’s character that he wouldn’t harm a woman.
Which left Jennifer as the culprit.
He pondered momentarily, then turned to his sister.
“Seraphina, what do you plan to do?”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow.
“Finish what Ms. Perez started. Just take a few photos of her. If Ms. Perez cooperates, she will avoid unnecessary pain.
Jennifer’s head shot up, her eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.
How dare Seraphina do that to her in front of Hansen?
+5 Pearls
She was the renowned businesswoman of Vlago, celebrated as a role model–and now being insulted like this?
“Seraphina, you wouldn’t dare!”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
Seraphina asked casually.
“The Perez Group won’t let you off, and the entire business community in Vlago will turn against you!”
