Zora sneered coldly and asked. “Bah! Look at yourself in the mirror; do you even have anything worth looking at twice? Despite my divorce, I’ve worked hard in this industry for years and have never come across someone as repulsive as you. My ex–husband was wealthy, and my ex–boyfriend was attractive- what do you have in common? Do you believe that you as a mere novice, can gain access to women at no cost?” 

Her barrage of insults stunned Henry, especially in front of so many influential people. 

His face turned pale. 

“Y–you’re out of line!” 

Zora snorted coldly and then turned to Seraphina, tears hanging delicately in her eyes, yet her expression still held pride and resolve. 

“Ms. Cross, we’re both women here. Honestly, the path to my current position in this industry has been difficult. I’m not some innocent girl. I’ve been divorced and it took a lot of convincing for my boss to take me back in and support me again. Why on earth would I waste his money chasing after a broke male model?” 

Her boss–her benefactor. 

Seraphina cast a dispassionate glance at Henry. Despite her intuition that Zora wasn’t being entirely truthful, everyone could clearly see Henry’s attempted assault. 

The fool must’ve lost his mind. 

The show was destined to be a hit, and he couldn’t even wait a little longer? 

Now look at him. He didn’t gain anything, and it’s possible that his humiliation could lead to his complete expulsion from the industry. 

“Ms. Cross, it’s not like that!” 

Henry urgently tried to explain, but Seraphina shot him a fierce glare, her voice icy. 

“You came here on your own?” 

Henry answered in frustration, “Yes.” 

He wouldn’t have come if his friends hadn’t insisted that taking the initiative with wealthy women would make things easier in the future. 

Zora was a prominent figure in the industry. 

Otherwise, why would he rush over in broad daylight to cater to this rich woman? 

During the show, it really seemed like she was interested in him. 

He thought that was a clear signal, an invitation to take things further. 

Seraphina’s voice was cold. “Zora rejected you, and you still tried to force yourself on her?”

Who couldn’t see the marks on Zora’s body? 

Henry couldn’t defend himself. 

After a few moments of silence, he finally answered, “Yes… no… yes… 

He had assumed that her initial rejection was just a part of the game.

Besides, when he entered the room, Zora wasn’t upset at all. She kept giving him flirtatious looks, one after another–how could he have resisted? 

Flirty glances led to them ending up on the bed, but when he started touching her, she suddenly got coy and refused him. 

How could he have known she actually meant it? 

He didn’t understand what was happening until Zora let out a piercing scream. 

Within a minute, everyone on that floor had rushed in, 

This was truly the darkest moment of his life. 

Even now, his mind was spinning in confusion–he had been set up by a woman! 

It drove him crazy with frustration. 

Seraphina didn’t say anything, only glancing at Michael. Michael stood up, his tone frigid. 

“Since that’s how it is, Henry, we can’t keep you here. We’ll terminate your contract and handle the paperwork accordingly.” 

Henry froze, quickly raising his head. 

“No… Ms. Cross, Mr. Michael, I really didn’t mean to 

His desperate gaze turned to Seraphina. 

Only she could save him now. 

She was the one rich woman he truly respected. 

Seraphina didn’t even look at him. Instead, her eyes swept over him with a chilling coldness, making him
