"Okay."
After a long pause, she practically ground the word out through gritted teeth.
She took a step back, forcing a meek smile. "Drive safe, then."
She leaned down again, directing a sweet smile at the rear window. "Lily, I'm going to head out first. Don't be mad at me, okay?"
Lily turned her head away, completely ignoring her.
Soon, the car drove off. Cynthia remained standing there, staring in the direction they had gone, her eyes practically overflowing with resentment.
On the outside, she was smiling, but inside, it felt as though something was gnawing away at her piece by piece.
That wretched brat actually had the nerve to call her a homewrecker in public.
Seraphina must have taught her that.
Who did she think she was?
She was a discarded ex-wife. What gave her the right to act so arrogant? Why did Lily protect her so fiercely? And why hadn't Dominic said a single word in her defense?
Cynthia clenched her fists, though her face retained its gentle, accommodating facade.
Just you wait, Lily.
Back in Northport, Seraphina threw herself into her work.
Her desk was covered in a thick stack of technical proposals. She had revised it no fewer than ten times.
This was the core blueprint for her collaboration with The Lockwood Group, detailing the optimization of the energy storage and conversion system.
She punched in the final data point and handed the printed document to her team.
"Run the tests according to these parameters. Once the data checks out, send it directly to Lockwood's tech department."
Her colleague took the file, flipping through the first two pages. His eyes grew wider by the second.
"President Sinclair, if this system is viable, Lockwood's energy division will slash their costs by at least twenty percent."
"More than that."
Seraphina took a sip of water from her mug.
