Chapter 71 Begging for Trouble
Orion paused for a moment and asked, “You went to see her? What did she say?”
Ramona snapped, “Of course, that pipe is our family heirloom, and I can’t tolerate it being in someone else’s hands for even a moment. I went to see her, and she still wouldn’t let go. That woman is vile! She deceived us for three years, and to think she’s such a person is truly shocking”
Orion remained silent for a few seconds.
haps she was the one who endured with us for three years.
He reassured, “Grandpa, I will handle this and get the heirloom back. You don’t need to worry.”
“It has to happen, or I won’t spare her. By the way, she actually wants to marry into the Crosses. Maybe we can stir up some trouble in her private life. I doubt any respectable family would want a slut who flirted around after a divorce.”
Orion frowned and felt suddenly irritated. Seraphina hadn’t done anything wrong to deserve such slander. Hearing his grandfather’s words filled Orion with deep–seated aversion.
When he thought about the men around her, such as Sivir and Hansen, it made him inexplicably more restless and gloomy.
After hanging up, Orion rubbed his temples. Ken stood before him, trembling. The assistant observed his
expression and asked, “Mr. Dros, should the meeting proceed as scheduled in five minutes?”
The look in Orion’s eyes darkened. Instead of answering, he asked, “What kind of person do you think Seraphina is?”
Why was Seraphine a different person before and after the divorce?
Ken hesitated slightly but decided to speak the truth.
“Madam, I mean, Seraphina is a very gentle person.”
Orion’s expression turned cold, and he asked, “Do you interact with her often?”
“No, no. It’s just that, when you first got married, I often received her calls. She was concerned about whether you had your meal and felt comfortable. Every time you went on a trip, she would check the weather in advance and remind me to prepare clothes and meals. Sometimes, she would personally bring them over. Even if you never returned her calls, she never got angry.”
Orion’s complexion darkened further at his words. Ken wondered if he had said something wrong.
“Why did I never know about these things?”
Ken hesitated before speaking. “I mentioned it to you once, but you said such trivial matters didn’t need to be reported. You also told Seraphina, in front of me, that she should contact me directly for any minor issues that didn’t concern Ms. Jessica. So, she probably stopped calling you directly.”
Ken’s voice grew quieter. He noticed Orion’s increasingly oppressive aura.
Orion rubbed the centre of his brows and seemingly recalled that moment. At that moment, his thoughts focused on the possibility of saving Jessica, who was rapidly losing blood. He seemed to have overlooked the pair of eyes that had gone from hopeful to indifferent.
