Lucinda's Apology Visit

Finished

Lucius knew he was at fault, and he didn't dare provoke Orion further in his anger. If he did, he would be the first to face obliteration.

The lesson from Jack was right in front of him-he was terrified!

After all, Orion was the type who cared more about women than his brothers.

Lucius watched in fear as Orion stormed off, trembling all over but too scared to follow. He was so aggrieved!

Aron coughed softly and patted Lucius's shoulder. "Good luck to us both."

All they could do now was pray.

Seraphina and Wilson left the scene and headed to a nearby quiet restaurant, where they had a simple meal. Afterward, Seraphina received a call summoning her back to the office, and Wilson escorted her to the entrance. "See you next time," he said.

Seraphina nodded slightly but hesitated for a moment.

"Mr. Rockwell, actually, Lucius wasn't lying."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She seemed to want to use this opportunity to make him back down.

Wilson smiled without showing much emotion. He said, "It's truly sad when people only focus on the past. It seems Ms. Cross doesn't trust me much. I'm a bit disappointed."

Raising an eyebrow, Seraphina glanced at her phone, which had started ringing again. She gave Wilson a quick nod before heading inside.

"What's going on?" she asked as she answered the call.

Thomas's voice came through the line.

"Ms. Cross, Fiona from the Corcker Group is here with Lucinda."

Seraphina had once taken a deal from Corcker Group to teach them a lesson. Adding to that, her close relationship with Corcker Group's rival had stirred things up.

It was no surprise they were coming to see her; she just hadn't expected them to act so soon.

In the meeting room.

When Seraphina arrived, Fiona and Lucinda had already been waiting for almost two hours.

Lucinda sat nervously, not daring to speak much. She looked uneasy, fidgeting in her seat.

Fiona, on the other hand, was a well-known socialite, accustomed to big events. She glared fiercely at Lucinda, clearly frustrated.

Lucinda's Apology Visit

into serious trouble. We've lost millions because of you, and I'm stuck cleaning up your mess. If you don't win back that contract for me, I swear I'll send you back to that slum you came from?

As she spoke, Fiona fiercely squeezed Lucinda's arm, her teeth clenched in anger, her dislike growing with every passing second. Lucinda's very existence seemed to be a burden.

Her mother had been a homewrecker, hoping to secure a place by using her pregnancy to push Clarke's wife out of the picture.

In the end, Clarke had merely been flirting with the other woman, leading to a series of absurd dramas that infuriated his wife. The scandal cost her job and her reputation, who then went back to her hometown in disgrace, giving birth to Lucinda-who turned out to be a girl. Clarke cared even less after that.

Fiona's mother came from a wealthy family, while Lucinda's mother was just an ambitious secretary trying to rise through the ranks by any means necessary. The disparity was clear, and Clarke, as a businessman, knew where his priorities lay.

Lucinda, blushing with shame, kept her head down and remained silent. Tears welled up in her eyes as she endured Fiona's abuse in silence.

If Seraphina hadn't taken that huge contract, perhaps Clarke and Fiona wouldn't be so furious.

From outside the door, Seraphina raised an eyebrow as she overheard the exchange. Next to her, Thomas simply shrugged, used to hearing such things after the two-hour wait.

With a quick motion, Thomas opened the door for her, and Seraphina strode in confidently.

Thomas considerately reminded her, "Ms. Cross has arrived."

Fiona and Lucinda both looked up, startled.

Fiona's expression changed instantly. She plastered on a smile and stood up to greet Seraphina, extending her hand in a gesture of friendliness.

"Ms. Cross, I've heard so much about you! You're just as beautiful as they say."

Seraphina smiled lightly and said, "Thank you. What brings you here today?"

. She wasn't in the mood for pleasantries.

Fiona's smile stiffened for a moment before she quickly regained her composure, forcing a more natural smile.

With some effort, she pulled Lucinda over. "We've told her to work hard and learn from you, Ms. Cross. But this woman caused you so much trouble at the Crosses. My father was so angry when he found out that he ended up in the hospital. He asked me to bring her here so she could apologize to you." Lucinda looked timid and pitiful. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, giving the impression that she had endured immense suffering.

"I'm so sorry, Ms. Cross. It's all my fault."
