Chapter 400 Justin and Sarah
“Something was off with Henry when he got back today; he had a bruise on his face, like he’d been beaten up.”
Seraphina glanced at the text from Michael on her phone before dismissing it.
It was obvious who had done this.
She turned her attention to Justin, who was intently focused on fixing Sarah’s broken glass pendant.
“Can you repair it?”
Justin looked up from his tutorial, his head bobbing slightly.
“No problem, I’m used to it.”
Emeris scoffed coldly, “That spoiled brat has smashed several pieces of crystal in my study; now he wants to fix them up and asked me to keep it? Is he doing all this for that girl?”
Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle. It turned out that there was an incident.
“Justin, do you like Sarah?”
She would be ecstatic if Sarah became her sister–in–law.
Justin frozen momentarily, shooting her a warning glance. “Don’t say nonsense.”
Emeris, ever the curious observer, perked up.
“What? I think Sarah suits Sivir better.”
Sivir, who was sipping coffee nearby, nearly dropped his cup. “Dad, I hardly know her!”
Justin was quick to defend himself.
“How are they a good match? Look at Sivir; he has no interest in women. If Sarah ended up with him, it would be a disaster!”
Emeris blinked, then looked at Seraphina.
She coughed a little.
“Dad was just joking; why are you so worked up?”
Justin realized he had overreacted and said, “I’m not worked up!”
Seraphina bit her lip to suppress a smile and asked, “Do you want me to help you win her over?”
For a rare moment, Justin’s face flushed. “No, I’ve already said it; we’re not a good match.”
“Oh.”
Seraphina feigned disappointment. “That’s true. With all of your girlfriends holding their hands, they

Justin’s expression shifted several times, and he opened his mouth to respond but thought better of it. He lowered his gaze and returned to repairing the glass pendant in his hands.
The next morning, Wilson called her earlier than usual, sounding urgent.
“Good morning, Ms. Dros,” he said.
“Morning, Mr. Rockwell. What’s going on so early?”
“The Giant Group’s project has hit a snag. Development has already faced many challenges, and stalling now will only hinder the entire collaboration. Ms. Dros, is there something unsaid on the Giant Group’s side?”
Seraphina frowned, pausing mid–sip of her milk.
Stalled?
She had never heard of it before.
“Mr. Rockwell, I’ll get back to you on this. It won’t affect our cooperation schedule.”
After hanging up, Seraphina packed her things and headed straight to the Giant Group without even a word.
The representative she had arranged at the Giant Group, Billy, hadn’t provided any updates lately, which didn’t seem like a good sign.
Dressed in an elegant dress that seemed to make her walk with purpose, Seraphina entered the Giant Group, heading directly for Billy’s office.
Billy abruptly stood up, taken aback.
“Ms. Dros?”
Seraphina wasted no time and took a seat across from him.
She asked, “What’s been happening at Giant Group lately?”
Billy shook his head and said, “Nothing, really.”
