Chapter 213 Unlucky to Catch Your Eye 

Jennifer’s complexion turned pale. Her eyes reflect nothing but despair. 

She was utterly defeated in the match. 

Her voice trembled with pain as she shouted at the retreating figure, raising her head with bitter 

resentment. 

“Hansen, who do you think I did all this for? It was for you! I’ve loved you for ten whole years! How could you not even glance at me? That bitch only sees you as a backup plan. Do you really think she cares about you? She doesn’t love anyone but herself. She has been manipulating your emotions throughout the entire time–how could you have ever believed she would be with you? 

Jennifer couldn’t care about anything else. Her world was crumbling right before her eyes. 

She screamed, oblivious to the stares from the surrounding crowd. Just like that, she spilled a secret she had buried for ten years. 

In the business world, she was a formidable woman who could make or break deals. In love, she was always the one left wanting, desperate, and humble. 

She gazed at Hansen’s back, full of hope. 

Jenifer hoped her words would soften him, that he would turn around and look at her, even for just once. 

The silence was suffocating. 

After a few seconds, Hansen slowly turned. 

His rigid posture made it clear that his disdain was absolute. 

“Damn it, what kind of terrible luck did I have to catch your eye?” 

The cold wind blew. Seraphina had lost interest in staying. She left without giving it a second thought. 

When Seraphina returned home, it was already late. 

The next morning, as she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the lush greenery outside the window, with branches and leaves intertwining. 

The place was surrounded by rare and precious trees, with sunlight filtering through the gaps and lazily creeping onto her face. 

What a beautiful day! 

They instantly forgot the unpleasantness of the previous night. 

She swiftly got out of bed, freshened up, and grabbed her tablet to check the latest stock market changes. 

A message from Sivir popped up on the screen. He sent it at 4 AM. “Jennifer’s been dealt with. You can sleep easy.” 

So fast?

Sivir was always protective of his own. Given his methods, the resolution must have been quite unkind. 

However, Seraphina couldn’t help but wonder about Orion’s role in all of this. 

He gave her a look last night. There were deep, complex emotions swirling in his eyes. 

She didn’t waste time trying to understand his thoughts. It didn’t matter to her. 

After all, his presence doesn’t matter to her. 

What mattered was that she’d managed to walk away unscathed. 

She entered her expansive walk–in closet and selected a limited–edition casual dress from the season. 

Stepping into a pair of brand–new limited–edition heels, she walked into the company with a striking, confident air. 

The receptionist greeted her sweetly. Seraphina waved back, warm and approachable. 

Thomas placed the meeting documents in front of her. 

“Ms. Cross, the meeting will begin in ten minutes, but 

Seraphina looked up at him. 

“What is it?” 

“Mr. Denter from Giant Group has been waiting outside for quite some time.” 

Seraphina frowned slightly. 

“Postpone the meeting and let Mr. Denter in.” 

“Yes, ma’am.” 

Aiden’s expression was grave. His eyes were concealed behind the gold–rimmed glasses, flashing with faint frustration and displeasure. 

The artificial intelligence project was progressing smoothly; there shouldn’t have been any problems. 

Seraphina couldn’t think of any issue serious enough to make him look so troubled. 

As soon as Thomas closed the door, Aiden took a seat across from her. 

“Seraphina, someone has leaked the confidential design data for our AI chip!” 

Before Seraphina could respond, he grimly revealed the results of the investigation. 

“The leak came from one of your companies under Cross Group. The perpetrator is a corporate spy!” 

Seraphina remained silent.
