Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 363

He turned his head, his expression icy.

Madeline instinctively shrank back.

"Your tech is nowhere near ready. Partnering with you would be sheer charity. Business is business, and I need a win-win scenario. For this, I naturally have to find top-tier talent in the field."

Madeline curled her lip, her eyes darting before she raised her voice. "You mean Orca Materials? If their tech is so high-end, why not just go straight to them?"

She scoffed, her tone dripping with disdain. "Listen, Orca might be riding high right now, but The Lockwood Group is a titan. If they manage to attach themselves to us, it would be the blessing of a lifetime for them. Reaching out to them is doing them a favor."

She sounded utterly convinced of her own logic.

Dominic's gaze sharpened. He stared at her in silence for two seconds.

"The owner of Orca Materials is Seraphina."

Madeline's smug smile froze instantly.

"What?"

Her mouth hung open, disbelief lacing her tone. "Seraphina? Her? She actually pulled that off?"

He didn't reply, merely giving her a flat look.

Madeline's heart sank to the floor. Thinking back to her arrogant rant just moments ago, she felt a phantom sting on her cheek.

She clenched her fists, her face cycling between shades of red and white.

A partnership was definitely off the table now. Forget collaborating—she had just tried to torment Seraphina in the hospital room. That woman probably wanted to skin her alive; there was no way she would give them the time of day.

Gritting her teeth, Madeline let out a resentful huff, stubbornly keeping up appearances. "Fine, she's amazing, she's the best, whatever. It's just some trashy tech company. Big deal."

His eyes hardened, his voice dropping into a deadly register. "Stay away from her from now on. You can't afford to mess with her anymore."

Defiant but keenly aware that the deal was dead, Madeline squeezed her hands into fists.

She snorted coldly and turned to leave.
