Thomas exchanged a few words with her, noticing her fatigue, before quietly stepping out.
It wasn’t long before Emeris arrived with Sivir and Justin in tow.
Emeris had red–rimmed eyes. Justin was there to support him.
Thomas approached them with a respectful greeting.
Emeris and Justin headed straight to the hospital room
Sivir, on the other hand, remained composed, standing at the doorway as he sought to understand the situation.
However, a cold and sinister expression marred his features.
Everyone knew he had touched the raw nerves of the Crosses.
Blake thought that by establishing some connections with the local underground organization in Eldoria Bay, he could act with impunity.
The bloodshed from previous encounters had given him enough courage to believe he could escape scrutiny, leading him to act recklessly.
This had only fueled his hatred for Seraphina, a woman he had never met but who had crushed him.
She had destroyed everything he had built; how could he possibly let her go unscathed?
Thus, even from behind bars, he plotted to make Seraphina regret ever crossing paths with him.
Everyone understood that Blake was responsible, yet they lacked the evidence to prove it.
“The police are doing their best to investigate this,” he noted, but the driver involved had yet to utter a single word.
Upon hearing this, Sivir’s face turned cold and oppressive.
“This is moving too slowly. Investigate the driver’s identity directly. Find his family–whoever they are— and let them feel Seraphina’s pain. If he has no family, then send our people in. Make this driver–and Blake–regret ever being born into this world.”
He was willing to employ the most dreadful means to avenge Seraphina.
The Cross Group was not a playground for her; it was not a place where she should have to fight for her life.
Anyone who dared to threaten her life would find themselves haunted by regret for eternity.
Thomas had worked with Sivir long enough. He had witnessed his evolution from someone wandering in the gray areas to a person of unwavering integrity.
He understood that Sivir’s personality bore a striking resemblance to Orion’s. They had both seen the darkest sides of humanity, which had made their hearts ache and their expressions cold, treating everyone

Chapter 480 Revenge of the Cross Group
Blake’s meager influence paled in comparison to Sivir’s strength.
Thomas nodded immediately and said, “Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.”

Having worked together with Seraphina for a long time, he had grown accustomed to the warmth of sunlight and her openness, nearly forgetting that he had once followed Sivir’s ruthless example.
Seraphina blinked awake; her vision blurred as she saw someone sitting with their back to her.
The person turned, and Justin’s handsome face came into view.
He lit up with a brilliant smile upon seeing her awake.
“Seraphina, look! This is my autograph; it’s worth a lot!
Justin’s flamboyant signature decorated the cast of her right foot.
Seraphina rolled her eyes and muttered, “Give me a dollar, and I’ll sell it to you.”
Justin let out an exaggerated sound of annoyance and wanted to say something. Emeris stood up, with tears welling in his eyes as he looked at her.
“Sweetheart, does it still hurt? I’m worried sick about you!”
Seraphina felt a swell of emotion as she gazed at Emeris, realizing how close she had come to never seeing such a wonderful family again. A warmth spread through her chest like a gentle tide.
Meanwhile, Justin walked away silently, exasperated.
Was it really necessary to be so dramatic over just a fracture?
When he had gotten injured while filming, with three steel pins in his back, he had spent six months in bed, yet his father had shed not a single tear then. He had even suggested Justin consider a different career path.
Was Emeris really his father?
Just then, Sivir pushed the door open. Seeing his sister awake, his previously harsh face softened considerably.
“Are you alright? Should I call a doctor?”
Seraphina smiled gently. “No need. I’m feeling much better.”
Emeris sighed, glancing at Sivir. He said, “Quick! Let’s make preparations to go home. It feels unsettling to
be here.”
Sivir nodded, but Seraphina couldn’t help but speak up. “Mr. Rockwell saved my life. He hasn’t woken up yet. Let’s wait for him to wake up before we leave.”
Thus, the four members of the Crosses, along with Sergio on a video call, gathered around Seraphina’s hospital bed to discuss their plans going forward.
Emeris was adamant that Seraphina couldn’t return to the office; she needed to recuperate at home.
