Chapter 414 Shameless
Seeing the unfolding chaos, the Browns hastened the process of evacuating their guests.
Seraphina’s family approached Lila, extending a hand toward those near her. “Come over here.”
Little Dani joyfully leaped into Seraphina’s embrace and said, “Ms. Lovely, doesn’t what I say make a lot of sense?”
Seraphina gently ruffled his fluffy, curly hair and smiled. “Yes, Little Dani, you’re wonderful.”
Lila approached from the side and curiously inquired, So, this little boy knows Ms. Cross?”
Seraphina chuckled lightly and said, “Yes, he’s a friend’s child. Children speak freely, Ms. Everhart, so please don’t take offense.”
“Of course not!”
Lucius approached with a noticeably disheartened demeanor, yet he refused to give up.
“Darling!”
“Lucius,” Lila interrupted sharply. “From now on, please call me Ms. Everhart. I think I’ve made myself clear enough.”
Lucius’s gaze darkened. He clenched his jaw, hastily attempting to salvage the situation.
“Whatever you want, I can give it to you. If you’re upset about my ruining your family’s business, I can help rebuild it.”
“Enough!”
Lila’s impatience was palpable, her facade of civility slipping away.
“The money you spent trying to win me back? I used it to buy off your ex–girlfriends. They’re quite cheap, you know.”
She scoffed, the purpose of her laughter unclear, before politely turning her attention to Seraphina.
“Ms. Cross, pardon my rudeness. Goodbye.”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, “Alright, goodbye.”
Lila was quite different from what she had imagined–refreshingly to her taste!
Lucius tried to follow her, but his family blocked his path.
“Enough already! Today’s farce has embarrassed us enough. What more shameful acts do you wish to commit?”
Struggling desperately against their hold, Lucius seemed determined to chase after Lila.
Orion walked over and shot a disapproving glance at his buddy. What a loser!

situation; Lucius was the one who had caused all the trouble, but he still had to shoulder the blame.
With Seraphina around, he couldn’t escalate things further.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you home,” Orion said, grasping her wrist firmly and leading her away.
Seraphina turned her head, scanning for her most reliable ally, Justin.
What did she find?
Justin had cornered Sarah, deep in conversation, and she couldn’t quite make out what they were discussing.
Seraphina cursed under her breath; indeed, men were utterly unreliable!
Little Dani, worried he would fall behind, scampered along behind them, short legs moving as quickly as they could.
Orion wished he could just pick that boy up and toss him aside, but obviously, that would be illegal.
The boy nestled close to Seraphina. His bright blue eyes darted around, looking mischievous.
Who knew what trouble he was planning?
Fortunately, the driver was quick to scoop up Little Dani and settle him into the passenger seat, leaving ample space and privacy for the two in the back.
As the driver raised the divider, it blocked any potential mischief from Little Dani.
Orion cast an approving glance at the driver; he deserved a raise.
Arriving at the entrance of Cross Mansion, they unexpectedly ran into Emeris, who had just returned from fishing.
The two cars faced each other, and Orion felt a twinge of nervousness.
After all, since their last encounter, his status had changed significantly.
Seraphina, however, remained calm. She stepped out of the car, carefully guiding Little Dani down. The butler promptly took the child inside.
Just as Seraphina intended to dismiss Orion, he surprised her by exiting the car too.
As he fastened his suit jacket, he appeared noble and distinguished, that air of cold sophistication settling around him in an instant.
As he strode toward Emeris’s vehicle, Seraphina cursed under her breath.
He was determined not to miss this opportunity, willing to risk Seraphina’s anger just to meet her father.
Emeris didn’t exit his car but lowered the window, squinting slightly.
