Chapter 216 Do You Have Some Sort of Fetishes?
Seraphina let out a derisive chuckle.
Signing the pre–sale in advance would result in penalties worth three times the original amount, if not
more.
Did they really think she wouldn’t stop them?
“As I recall, I’m the one in charge of this project. Since when did your branch offices gain the authority to bypass headquarters and undertake such a large project directly?
The room fell silent.
The trio at the center of the tension had everyone’s attention.
Flora and Grace had always gotten their ways in the company–nobody dared to provoke them.
It was unusual for someone to have the nerve to challenge them openly.
Their satisfaction was almost beyond words.
“Seraphina, don’t be so quick to scold. Your uncle personally signed off on this. We’re not part of the family, but surely Alexander is.
Flora sneered coldly. She had come prepared, and her eyes glinted with the satisfaction of a plan falling into place.
With a slight smirk, Seraphina glanced at her.
“I’ve already reported this to the authorities. Anyone involved won’t get away from this.”
She had already discussed this with Emeris before arriving.
The company in Lacuna was chaotic enough; it needed to be reorganized.
Flora froze in place and stared at Seraphina in disbelief.
Grace clenched her fists, shocked.
They thought that including Alexander would make Seraphina hesitant to act.
Just then, heavy, hurried footsteps echoed from the doorway.
“What do you think you’re doing, Seraphina? Do you not even see me as family?”
Alexander’s voice was filled with rage as it came from the door.
Flora’s people must have exaggerated Seraphina’s intentions to show up here.
Flora acted as if her savior had arrived. She hurriedly walked over to him and clutched his arm.
“Al, thank goodness you’re here. Your niece doesn’t just disregard me–now she wants to go against you too!”

Chapter 216 Do You Have Some Sort of Fetishes?
Alexander glared at Seraphina furiously.
“Seraphina, what are you doing here? This is none of your business!”

Seraphina’s gaze remained calm and steady as she lifted her head and spoke in a measured tone.
“The Lacuna branch is suspected of plagiarizing the research findings of the Cross Group and Giant Group. We have already reported this matter to the authorities.
Alexander’s complexion turned pale with anger.
“Reported to authority? Why involve the police in family matters? What evidence do you have to prove this is theft? And you haven’t even applied for a patent! Even if you went to court, it would be nothing without solid evidence! Do you really have to make such a spectacle of things?”
Grace chimed in, trying to play along with Alexander’s argument.
“Exactly, Seraphina. We’re all part of the Cross Group. All of us are working hard to make money for the same cause. Why turn on each other? When you’re making money, can’t we also get some small profits?”
Seraphina let out a cold laugh, her gaze chilling as it swept over them.
“That little profit? You don’t deserve it.”
Her words successfully provoke Alexander.
“Impudent! Who do you think you’re talking to?”
“Uncle Alexander, have you already forgiven this mother–daughter duo for keeping a man behind your back? Or do you have some peculiar hobby?”
“Bang!”
