"Consider who? Being considered for you? If I leave here, no one will discover that you two had an affair while we were still married. Stop being so hypocritical. It's disgusting. Your very presence here is the biggest joke."

Seraphina's irritation was evident, but she didn't feel the need to retort further. She made a couple of sarcastic remarks before noticing Olivia wave at her from a distance. With a nonchalant glance at the two people in front of her, she turned and walked away. Jessica was unwilling to let the insults slide. She glanced at Orion from time to time, hoping he would stand up for her.

However, when Orion heard the word 'affair', his expression turned dark and complex. His eyes were dark and unfathomable.

He stood there and watched Seraphina's back until she disappeared from sight, then he turned to leave.

Orion's eyes turned cold. He looked at his watch, and his tone remained cold.

"Alright, I'll have the driver take you."

With that, he turned and left without looking back.

Jessica stood at the entrance, feeling utterly at a loss. Her complexion turned pale.

"Jessica, come over here! My mom's been looking for you," Hannah called out, beckoning at her.

Jessica ran over as if she had seen a lifeline. With Theresa and Hannah around, Orion wouldn't dare to send her away, right?

"What's wrong? What did you say to my brother? Why do you look so pale?"

"Nothing." Jessica forced a smile. Her complexion was pale. How could she admit that Orion really wanted

Getting to the Point

She hadn't expected to shoot herself in the foot.

The once-accommodating Orion had rejected her multiple times.

Why?

Since she returned from abroad, everything has changed.
