Chapter 260 Her Wedding
Orion asked, “Mr. Stroudsburg, this painting…”
“I painted it. When that girl abandoned me to marry you, I was beyond furious. This is my masterpiece. Do you want it?”
Lucas’s words left Seraphina defenseless, her earlier denial of being the girl in the painting crumbling.
At Lucas‘ remark, Seraphina snapped. “Master, I asked first!”
Just a moment ago, he said he wasn’t selling it. If he changed his mind, there should be some sense of order!
Lucas chuckled warmly, his eyes twinkling as he looked at Orion.
“When I sell something. I always go with my gut feeling
That was the way he treated Monica and Jennifer, when they wanted one of his previous paintings too.
There was a smoldering glint in Orion’s deep gaze as he curled his lips into a small smile.
“I want it. Name your price, Mr. Stroudsburg.
Whatever it cost. it was worth it..
Lucas’s smile deepened, and he held up a finger.
Orion didn’t hesitate. He turned to Ken, who had been trailing behind them.
“Transfer 100 million dollars to Mr. Stroudsburg now.”
Ken was stunned, frozen in place. A hundred million for a painting? Even an ancient masterpiece wasn’t worth that much.”
Lucas’s eyes twinkled as he looked Seraphina over. He said, “Transfer to her. After all, she’s the one in the painting.
Seraphina fumed silently. Lucas was utterly mad!
She couldn’t stand it for another second.

Just as she was about to storm off, Kaveh swaggered over with his usual carefree attitude. He said, “Sweetie, there you are. I’ve been looking all over for you.”
“Oh, Uncle Orion, you’re here too?”
Orion’s expression darkened at the sight of Kaveh, especially when he heard him affectionately call her sweetie His gaze turned colder, more dangerous.
The tension in the air thickened.
Kaveh remained unfazed. He walked right up to Seraphina, casually linking his arm with hers, and let out
a smirk.

“Sweetie, how about a movie after dinner?” He made playful suggestions.

The room was instantly filled with an awkward, almost eerie tension. Lucas observed the trio with an amused yet slightly odd expression.
The look in his eyes was complicated as he asked, “And this is…?”
Kaveh cheerfully introduced himself and shot an amorous gaze toward Seraphina.
I’m Kaveh. Sweetie and 1? Together, we have endured many challenges and have grown closer than mere friends.
Orion’s expression turned darker at a speed that was visible to all.
Lucas grunted in acknowledgement. Sensing the growing tension, Lucas quickly made his exit, leaving them to face off in the uneasy atmosphere.
Orion’s voice was icy, and his words were sharp. He warned, “Kaveh, you’re crossing a line
Kaveh, seemingly innocent, looked at Orion with wide eyes.
