Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Chapter 118 – I want to know what he has to say

Seraphine had never been afraid of Voren, not in the beginning and certainly not now, so there was no real reason for hesitation as she returned to her chair, reached for her phone, and began the quiet chain of calls that would soon send shockwaves through people who believed their power was untouchable.

"Okay," she said in a calm, almost casual tone, even though the air in the room carried a tight tension that refused to loosen, and then she tapped the first name on her contact list before raising the phone to her ear.

The call connected after only a few rings, and the man on the other end answered with polite warmth that suggested both respect and curiosity.

"Miss Walker, how are you feeling today?"

Seraphine leaned back slightly in her seat while resting her elbow against the armrest, her expression steady as she responded in a relaxed voice that concealed the storm she was about to unleash.

"Much better, Mark, thanks for asking, but I need a favor."

Mark did not even pause before replying, his voice carrying the eager confidence of someone who believed supporting her would always bring rewards.

"Anything, Miss Walker, but have you started the company yet?"

Seraphine tapped the speaker button so everyone in the room could hear the conversation clearly, then rested the phone on the table in front of her while answering in the same calm, even tone.

"I’m still working on the venue, and that should be settled in a few days," she explained patiently, before continuing with the part that mattered most. "Mark, I want you to pull out your investment from Sanders Enterprise and Thorne International because things are about to go down."

The silence that followed on the other end of the line lasted only a moment, but it carried the weight of someone suddenly realizing that a quiet warning had just saved him from walking straight into disaster.

Mark’s voice returned with a sharp edge of panic that he tried and failed to hide.

"Thank you for telling me," he said quickly, the sincerity in his tone leaving no room for doubt. "I will begin the process immediately."

Seraphine ended the call without ceremony, already dialing the next number before the phone even left her hand, her movements smooth and confident as though she had been preparing for this moment for far longer than anyone realized.

The second call connected almost instantly. "Gordon, I’m fine, thank you," she said before he could ask the question she already knew was coming. "I will be in your office soon to bring the revised contract, but there’s something you must do before I get there."

On the other side of the call, Gordon responded with a burst of enthusiasm that sounded almost excited.

"Anything."

Seraphine repeated the same warning she had given Mark, explaining in careful detail that he needed to withdraw his investments from both Sanders Enterprise and Thorne International immediately if he wanted to avoid being dragged into the financial collapse that was already beginning to take shape.

When that call ended, she moved on to the next one without hesitation, then another, and another.

Every single person who had invested in her upcoming company received the same message, the same warning delivered in the same calm tone that gave away nothing about the ruthless strategy unfolding behind her quiet composure.
