Chapter 580 The Man Who Will Stop at Nothing

Seraphina's eyes flickered with tension.

She had heard declarations of love so many times that they no longer stirred anything in her.

But when Wilson spoke so directly, it felt like a feather brushing against her heart, sending a ripple of warmth through her entire being.

Noticing her silence, Wilson pressed his lips together.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you," he said. "But you promised me you would give me a chance; you won't back out now, will you?"

Seraphina bit her lower lip, suddenly feeling a warmth spread across her face.

She convinced herself that it must be due to the oppressive air in the enclosed space.

"I won't," she answered quickly, then swiftly changed the subject.

"Mr. Rockwell, aren't you curious about how I met Jacob?"

Stunned, Wilson asked with a smile, "How did you two meet?"

Anxious to change the atmosphere to a more relaxed atmosphere, Seraphina began her story.

"A few years ago, Jacob was a junior manager at Solman Group. I interned under him when I was abroad."

Wilson gave her a startled look.

The information in her words was too much to process at once.

Given her background in Cross Group, was Seraphina obligated to intern?

Jacob had become the vice president of Solman Group in just a few years, but he didn't know her true identity.

"But from the way you two interact, it doesn't seem like you're old friends," Wilson said, puzzled. Seraphina raised an eyebrow and snorted softly.

Jacob possesses talent, yet he is prepared to employ any method to advance in his career. One time, when we were at a party together, the business partner clearly had ill intentions and was trying to get me drunk. He even stepped in to add to the pressure. Haha! People like him will stop at nothing to move up the ranks. Do you really think I'd consider him a friend?"

Now everything made sense-her distant, almost disdainful attitude toward Jacob tonight.

Wilson pursed his lips, his voice soft and concerned. "So what happened? You didn't drink, right?" Seraphina looked at him, her expression serious.

"I suspected the drink was spiked. I didn't drink it. In fact, I threw the drink in his face, right in front of everyone, and immediately quit."

"Ms. Cross's courage is truly remarkable-only a true warrior would act so decisively!"noveldrama

Clearly, she had handled the situation with conviction.

After all, she wasn't at Solman Group to beg for work; she was there to learn.

If all she was going to learn were shady business tactics, then her time would have been wasted.

A proper heiress like her wouldn't let herself suffer in silence.

Seraphina smiled briefly, then her curiosity resurfaced.

"How could someone like him rise to such a position?" she asked.

Jacob wasn't just a vice president of a region-he was second only to the CEO in the entire Solman Group

The speed of his rise was astronomical.

Wilson chuckled and said, "Well, those who bring huge profits to the company often get a pass on their personal lives. Jacob's reputation in the industry isn't bad. He's calculative, yes, but also generous with others."

Noticing Seraphina's changing expression, Wilson quickly added, "Maybe people only see the surface, while you've seen the real him."

Seraphina's expression softened slightly, clearly pleased by his comment. She nodded firmly. "Exactly! It must be that way."

When they arrived at the cinema, Wilson urged her to put on his coat.

Seraphina hesitated for a moment, fearing she would freeze, but she eventually agreed. She turned the collar up, hiding half of her face, just in case anyone would recognize her.

Wilson, seeing her wrapped up in the coat, smiled helplessly and went to buy the tickets. Less than two minutes later, he returned.

Seraphina's eyes scanned through the list of latest movies. They all seemed interesting.

Wilson grabbed her empty sleeve and pulled her along. "There's only one movie left showing at this time.'

So, there was no choice.

Seraphina didn't mind-after all, she was just passing the time.

Wilson led her into a theater. It was dark at the entrance, and she couldn't see much. She followed him and asked, "Did you get seats in the front or the back?"

Wilson didn't answer.

When they reached a well-lit area near the screen, he pulled out a thick stack of tickets from his pocket. 22:51 Sun, 23 Feb T

Seraphina froze for a moment in surprise,

Wilson remained calm and said, "Pick any seat....

It turned out he had bought all the tickets.
