Chapter 274 Returning the Smoking Pipe 

They were the only guests at the private restaurant hosting dinner that night. 

Emeris brought both Sivir and Seraphina along. When they arrived, Ramona and Orion had in 

there as well.

It wasn’t a formal gathering, so Seraphina opted for a sky–blue dress. She radiated an air of elegance but also had a hint of playful warmth. 

Emeris and Ramona exchanged polite pleasantries, leaving out all the private affairs. The two were talking primarily about business and their cooperation between companies. Despite the peaceful atmosphere.. there was an undeniable awkwardness hanging in the air. 

Sitting there. Seraphina could feel a particular gaze from across the table landing on her every so often. 

It was irritating. 

When she felt that stare once again, Seraphina couldn’t stand it any longer. 

She abruptly lifted her head and glared back. 

Orion froze for a moment before offering her a gentle smile. 

Seraphina gritted her teeth and looked away. Pretending to be nice in front of the elders, huh? 

She hadn’t planned on coming to this dinner, but after Emeris mentioned how Orion had saved her life. she felt it would be rude to refuse. So, she reluctantly agreed to stay for a while before making her exit. 

Noticing it was about time, Emeris gave Seraphina a subtle nod. 

“Actually, we’re very grateful for your family stepping in to save my sister, Sivir began, signaling towards. Seraphina. Aside from our business collaboration, my sister has prepared a special gift for Mr. Ramona.” 

Seraphina smiled gently and reached into her bag to retrieve a box, which she then handed over. 

“Mr. Ramona, I heard you often visit the museum to see the smoking pipe. Knowing how much you treasure it, I thought this would make a perfect gift.” 

Ramona’s lips twitched slightly. She knew about his frequent visits to check on the smoking pipe at the 

museum? 

It almost sounded like she was mocking him. 

Furthermore, the smoking pipe served as a symbolic representation of Drosses. Could it be compared with any other pipe? 

When Ramona opened the box, his expression froze and his eyes narrowed in surprise. 

If he wasn’t mistaken, the smoking pipe before him was the very one from the museum. 

He recognized it, down to the tiny scratches and imperfections on the bottom–this wasn’t a replica; it was the real thing!

Ramona leaned in closer to examine it, his hands trembling, but he hesitated to touch it, afraid that the sweat from his palms might damage the priceless treasure. 

Then his expression darkened. 

The Crosses returning this object was a gesture of repayment for Orion saving Seraphina’s life. 

They didn’t mention anything about a marriage alliance. 

Giving back this pipe was a clear indication that Emeris didn’t care about money, nor was he going to use this connection to force his daughter into a marriage she didn’t want. 

In an instant, Ramona sharply saw right through Emeris’s intentions.
