Betting on the Family Reputation
"Orion didn't do it himself, but his family is involved. Ramona gave the order.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Sivir's voice grew colder, and he said, "The Droses are so arrogant. Does that old man think it's still the time when his family ruled alone?"
When Ramona was in power, he indeed controlled the city's economic lifeline and was able to call the shots with just a word.
It is a different era now, with various companies securing strong positions. Although the Dros Group is still a deeply rooted giant, it can no longer shake the status quo of the Crosses.
Seraphina's eyes narrowed slightly. She asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"You don't need to do anything, not even clarify. Dad already knows about this and is coming back from abroad earlier. He plans to announce your identity at the company's anniversary celebration. The more they insult you now, the more likely they'll have to beg for your mercy in the future."
Originally, her identity was to be revealed once her position was secure, but it seemed some people were eager to see her fall beyond redemption.
It was clear that Sivir was truly mad. After she hung up, Seraphina glanced at the online comments. They
were awful.
Even though Olivia and Hansen paid for marketing accounts to clear Seraphina's name, it was insignificant and had no impact.
This was the power of the Droses. Was Ramona trying to show off his might to her?
Looking out of the window, Seraphina saw a throng of reporters below her apartment. They aimed their cameras at her house's windows, constantly flickering at the slightest movement, even if there was no one to photograph.
Justin woke up late. After a leisurely shower, Sivir lectured him over the phone. He planned to go out, but he obediently changed back into his pyjamas to serve the little princess, Seraphina, her breakfast.
Seraphina boredly skimmed through Thomas' reports and Giant Group's project progress report. She felt reassured that the project suffered minimal impact.
At the Dros Group.
Orion's complexion was grave. Before him, Ken stood trembling, not daring to make the slightest noise. The atmosphere was ice-cold.
"Who did this?" Orion's voice cut through the tension.
In just one night, everything had changed dramatically
Ken hung his head low, wishing he could disappear. He replied cautiously.
"Mr. Dros, I've already contacted you and asked around. Everyone has the same story-it was a direct order from Mr. Ramona. Everyone had no choice but to comply."

With a loud bang, Orion kicked the chair away. He grabbed his coat and stormed out of the room. His expression was cold and grim.
The car sped to the Dros estate. When he saw the servant, Orion asked sternly, "Where is my grandpa?"
The servant stammered, "Mr. Ramano went to the Springhill Villa."
Orion swiftly turned and was ready to leave. The servant hurried after him and reminded him, "Mr. Romano said that until this matter is resolved, he won't let you find him." Orion paused. He glared sharply at the servant and asked, "What did you say?"
The servant shivered, paling and refusing to repeat himself.
Grinding his teeth, Orion left. In the car, he called Romano. Before anyone answered, the phone rang for a long time.
"I knew you would call me because of that woman. After all this time, you still haven't dealt with her. Are you still having feelings about her?" Romano taunted.
"I said I would handle it." Orion's eyes were cold, and his aura was low.
Ramona chuckled lightly and asked in his aging voice, "Handle it? She hates our family to the core. Do you expect her to return my smoking pipe willingly? Impossible!"
Orion rebuked, "There's no need to use such means. What's she going to do in the future?"
Romano's tone turned vicious as he replied, "Who cares? I gave her a chance. She thought that by attaching herself to the Crosses, she could transform from Cinderella into a princess and dared to disregard me. I'm going to let her experience the power of our family, even if it means risking our reputation."
With that, he decisively hung up.
This woman still wants to marry into a wealthy family.
Haha, absolutely not.
Romano doubted that any prestigious family could completely overlook Seraphina's dark
past.
