Chapter 431 A Fiery Passion
Seraphina cleared her throat and casually put the box away, trying to salvage his pride in a lighthearted
manner.
“But I actually like this gift. It’s been a long time since I received something so simple yet thoughtful. Though they sell a batch every graduation season, I’ve never bought one. This is the first time I’ve ever received a tree as a gift.”
At that moment, the meeting had already moved into its main agenda. The host looked toward Wilson, signaling it was his turn to speak.
Wilson smiled, stood up, and glanced down at Seraphina.
In a soft voice, he said, “It’s my turn now. If I mess up, feel free to correct me.”
Seraphina clenched her fist, gesturing encouragement.
With a smile on his face, Wilson walked forward, instantly becoming the center of attention. The room fell
silent.
His tall and graceful figure exuded an air of nobility with every movement. He carried himself with a calm and steady demeanor, his sharp edges hidden beneath a humble gaze. Although he appeared warm and gentle, there was a certain chill and depth in his eyes that occasionally surfaced.
“Hello, everyone. It’s an honor to stand here.”
Seraphina watched him with a smile. Compared to the previous speakers, his content was more relatable and practical. He didn’t focus on introducing his own company but instead highlighted the AI project.
Most notably, he didn’t shy away from addressing the incident with the Etopia project, explaining the before and after in detail, capturing everyone’s attention.
“We are inevitably heading toward the future. The development of AI is an invitation to that future. As we explore and advance, there is no end, no turning back. Autonomous driving is merely a small part of this. The world has already broken down its prejudices and is ready to embrace them. This is our gift to the future.
Suddenly, the room erupted in applause, the energy of the crowd palpable.
As Wilson stood on stage, his gaze lingered softly in one direction, never straying.
Seraphina met his eyes for a few seconds; her heart inexplicably stirred.
She quickly lowered her head, convinced it was the passionate atmosphere that had gotten to her.
At Dros Group.
Orion was in the middle of a meeting. Someone, clueless or perhaps just reckless, kept bombarding him with messages. The incessant notifications on his phone echoed in the room, one after another.
Orion’s face darkened with growing impatience.

The person giving the report faltered slightly, but Orion coldly urged “Continue.”
He picked up his phone, tapping a few times.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, his expression turning dark and menacing. The cold anger swept across his face, storming through his previously calm demeanor.
Wilson is with Seraphina?
The department manager presenting the report instinctively wiped away some sweat, his face pale.
“Mr. Dros, we’ve put some projects on hold during your absence, and others carry significant risks. The project team is unsure if we should continue with further investments.”
Bang!
Orion slammed his phone onto the table, his sharp gaze cutting through the manager. His tone was as cold as ice. “So, you’re saying you’re useless, right?”
The manager’s face turned pallid, sweat dripping down his forehead as his body began to tremble.
The atmosphere in the meeting room froze in an instant.
Just moments ago, Orion had been in a decent mood; he even offered some comforting words to another manager who had made a mistake, encouraging him to keep pushing forward.
Now, in the blink of an eye, he had become merciless and ruthless.
Was it Orion who had changed too quickly, or was it just unlucky timing for the manager?
Ken, sitting nearby, didn’t dare make a sound. He could only silently mourn for the unfortunate department manager.
Maybe it wa
Maybe it was just bad luck.
