Chapter 578 We're Not Close

Orion's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face grew more somber.

"Your assets and properties are more than enough for you to squander away the rest of your life, Ramona. If we can't coexist peacefully, then we should cease all contact."

With that, he turned and walked away.

Every step he took in this game was a chance for Ramona to reconsider.

The faint traces of affection from his family were now, it seemed, completely gone.

When they sent him abroad for training, there was never any true familial bond to speak of. By the time

Ramona brought him back, he had already outgrown the need for such connections.

He had always been alone.

Orion's departure from the banquet went unnoticed by most, but Seraphina saw it.

His back exuded a resolute and lonely aura, keeping others at a distance.

He hadn't changed one bit.

Ramona, on the other hand, was clear that he was in his twilight years. Although his influence still lingered, it paled in comparison to Orion's.

It was a futile fight-a path to destruction.

Wilson gently clinked his glass against hers, his smile warm and light.

"What are you thinking? I never expected Mr. Dros to turn the tables. This round was a brilliant victory. wasn't it?"

Seraphina shifted her gaze away, but the opulent surroundings of the hall didn't manage to shake the solitary, melancholy figure that lingered in her mind.

She tried to dismiss the feeling.

Her voice became lighter.

"Yes, it was quite unexpected."

She knew Orion wouldn't lose, but she hadn't anticipated such a complete win.

"Seraphina, do you feel sorry for him?"

Seraphina blinked in surprise, turning to look at him.

Wilson pursed his lips, a complicated expression on his face.

"Orion may have emerged unscathed, but it's clear he's lost the support of everyone. Do you feel any sympathy for him?"

He was eager to know her answer, so he asked bluntly.

Seraphina paused for a moment before replying, her tone cool and indifferent

"I think Ramona got what he deserved, but that doesn't mean I'm on Orion's side."

Sympathy, after all, was usually reserved for the weak.

And Orion was no weakling.

Wilson visibly relaxed, a warm, soft smile spreading across his face.

"That's pleasing to hear. If that hadn't happened, I would have been extremely jealous.

He casually turned away, but Seraphina couldn't help but glance at him.

That last remark caught her off guard.

She was relieved he didn't elaborate.

There didn't seem to be any more dramatic moments ahead.

Just as Seraphina was about to leave the event early, she spotted Jacob walking toward her.

He held a glass of wine, smiling brightly as he approached.

"I thought I was seeing things, but it really is you, Seraphina?"

Seraphina had interned at Solman Group back in her school days, and Jacob had been her direct supervisor

at the time.

Although Jacob was an excellent worker, he didn't have the best reputation among the female staff. As a result, Seraphina had kept her distance from him.

After the internship, Jacob had hoped to use the potential full-time position with her to have a sexual relationship. Seraphina refused him.

Naturally, she didn't get the job.

She smiled and said, "Jacob, it's been a while. I never expected to run into you here."

Jacob smirked and said, "If you missed me, you could've come to find me, but you've never called." Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, "Guess I didn't miss you enough."noveldrama

Jacob was speechless.

Wilson, who had been observing, looked a little surprised. "Do you two know each other?"

Seraphina nodded, not wanting to get into the details of her time abroad-explaining it would be too much trouble.

Jacob smiled. "Old friends, Mr. Rockwell. I've heard your name mentioned by several people in Frencette. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. This party was quite the surprise!"

Jacob and Wilson exchanged a polite handshake before releasing each other.

"Yes, it's certainly a pleasant surprise to meet here."

Finished

After all, the circle was small. Anyone with a bit of a reputation was bound to be mentioned here and

there. and people rarely rejected opportunities to gain connections and benefits.

After the pleasantries, Jacob's attention returned to Seraphina. He loosened his tie and smiled warmly. "Seraphina, it's been such a long time. How about we find somewhere quiet and catch up?"
