Everyone knew that Seraphina’s mother had passed away years ago. Seraphina rarely spoke about the painful memory, especially within the family. 

Not just Seraphina–if Emeris were to hear those words, he might very well have killed Flora on the spot. 

Flora must have been out of her mind to insult Seraphina’s late mother right in the face. 

As Seraphina’s expression grew darker and colder, Grace realized something was wrong. 

She instinctively glanced at Alexander, whose furious expression had suddenly turned composed. 

Just when everyone thought the tense atmosphere would explode, Seraphina’s cold gaze fixed on Flora for a long moment. Her eyes were deep and dangerous. 

When she finally spoke, her voice was cold and detached. “Flora, do you think I’m someone you can trifle with?” 

From the moment she spoke, it was clear Seraphina had no intention of letting Flora off easily. 

Flora was stunned by that remark. She was about to retaliate, but Alexander quickly grabbed her arm. 

“Be quiet! This isn’t your place to speak.” 

Flora looked at Alexander in confusion. 

“Al, I’m doing this for your sake.” 

Alexander gritted his teeth, his brow furrowing in frustration, and his eyes filled with displeasure. 

“Seraphina, she didn’t mean it; don’t take it to heart. But business is business–if a project can make money for the company, why not pursue it? Besides, we’ve hired a top research team to develop this product, and all of those are renowned experts from domestic and foreign countries. Even if someone investigates, we have nothing to fear!” 

Seraphina let out a mocking laugh, her voice dripping with sarcasm. 

“This project is at least decades ahead of its time. It’s a groundbreaking achievement in today’s world. Which expert did you hire?” 

Professors? Even if you gathered all the professors in the country, they wouldn’t match up to Sergio! They are shameless. Attempt to ruin this project and the Cross Group’s reputation? Impossible! 

“It’s Professor Anthony Smith, a visiting professor at Hewitt University. He is a renowned physicist and AI specialist. With him on board, who could accuse us of plagiarism?” 

Grace spoke proudly. 

A top figure in the field of physics, she thought Seraphina was too ignorant to recognize an expert like 

him. 

Alexander stepped forward and softened his tone. He tried to give Seraphina a way out.

Seraphina lowered her eyes, her tone indifferent and emotionless.

“Uncle Alexander, the person my brother sent to audit the books won’t return empty–handed. Uncovering the messy accounts in Lacuna is all too easy. Before coming here, I had already discussed it with my dad. The Lacuna branch will declare bankruptcy and undergo restructuring immediately. Internal personnel changes will be made accordingly. Flora and Grace, along with their group of freeloading relatives, will all be kicked out of the company. If you’re willing to cover the compensation for breaking the contracts, you can maintain your position as the legal representative of the newly formed company. Otherwise, it’s time for you to retire.” 

She wasn’t negotiating, but she announced her decision. 

With this announcement, everyone’s expressions relaxed, as if they finally saw a brighter future ahead. 

Flora and Grace’s expressions froze. Their expressions became utterly unpleasant. 

Years of their hard work were destroyed so easily? 

Alexander glared at Seraphina, his face turning ashen with rage.
