Seraphina pressed her lips together, a look of concern etched across her face. “We must be careful. There can’t be any mishap before the project launches!” 

Joseph understood the stakes involved. After Seraphina’s warning, he felt compelled to exercise even greater caution. 

“Ms. Cross, Seth has admitted to falsifying the accounts. It was all orchestrated by Blake. The evidence is at stake against him; Blake has no choice but to admit it. However…” 

“Blake has thrown numerous obstacles in the way of this project, and he refuses to take responsibility for the lives lost,” Joseph hesitated. “The construction team includes his father- in–law and brother–in–law, who have never been replaced. When a death occurs, the work has to stop, but they’ve still been receiving payment. Because of this, when we tried to hire a new contractor, we faced fierce resistance from them. No one in Eldoria Bay was willing to bid.” 

Seraphina paused, looking at him. She asked, “How are you going to get a contractor for us?” 

Since things hadn’t gone smoothly and he didn’t mention how it was resolved, it meant he had already tackled that issue. 

Joseph replied, “It was… Mr. Dros who introduced them.” 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, her eyes narrowing as she scrutinized him in silence. 

“City Council recommended them,” Joseph continued, gathering his courage. “They made it clear that Mr. Dros suggested this contractor. He knew it would be difficult to find someone locally, which is why he recommended them. I did my due diligence, and this contractor has a good record and reputation, with no bad history.” 

In other words, the contractor Orion recommended seemed like a gift from the heavens.

Seraphina twitched her lips. She lowered her gaze, wondering why Orion would pay attention to such a minor detail. 

“Well, if their background checks out, let’s proceed. Although Orion lost to us, he wouldn’t stoop so low as to sabotage the contractor.” 

That certainly did not fit Orion’s status. 

Joseph breathed a sigh of relief and nodded eagerly, the words tumbling out without much thought. 

“He probably just didn’t want to burden you with such trivial matters; Mr. Dros is doing this for your sake.” 

Thomas shot him a disapproving look from the side, smirking–this guy was certainly

Seraphina’s expression remained indifferent as she pressed her lips together. She said, “Alright. Joseph. Finalize the project details and dissolve this company. Cross Group won’t take over all the operations. The rest is up to you” 

Joseph nodded sheepishly. Seraphina stood and glanced at Thomas. “Let’s head back to the hotel.” 

Thomas nodded in agreement. 

The Cross Group’s hotel was still undergoing renovations, so they arranged for her to stay at a different upscale apartment hotel. 

Once there, Seraphina quickly responded to several urgent emails before changing into a more comfortable outfit to rest. 

Thomas had to gather information on Griffin Corporation, so he couldn’t stay with her. 

When she woke up, the sky had already darkened outside. 

The world below was buzzing with activity, cars rushing by in a flurry. 

A biting cold wind swept through, making this winter feel particularly harsh. 

Seraphina realized she was hungry. 

Glancing out the window, she noticed someone in the convenience store across the street enjoying a bowl of beef stew. It made her mouth water; it had been years since she had tasted 

1. it. 

Her appetite surged, but she hesitated. In the end, she chose to forgo the five–star chef’s cooking at the hotel. 

Throwing on her coat and grabbing her wallet and phone, she dressed casually and headed downstairs.
