Ken reported, "I checked with an editor. He said I was Michael from Aurora Entertainment who leaked the

news."

He glanced cautiously at his boss. Orion's expression grew increasingly grim, and he didn't utter a word. Ken dared not say another word, and he was cautioned not to make any noise.

Ken remembered that Aurora Entertainment was an entertainment company under Justin's control.

Even though the result was the same, his boss didn't appear to be happy about losing the race.

"Get out!" Orion spat the words through clenched teeth,

On the other hand, Seraphina felt a sense of relief as the news's popularity began to decline. "Seraphina, everyone is waiting for you in the conference room."

As Thomas knocked and entered, he briefed his boss about the upcoming meeting.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Seraphina, in her high heels, headed straight for the conference room. She glanced around, her gaze lingering on Julia, who was smirking coldly. Noting that most had arrived, she said, "Let's begin."

They had reached a preliminary agreement with Giant Group; the remaining details were intricate. These details held the core of their interests-every concession meant a significant profit loss, making repeated negotiations essential.

Several shareholders, who were department heads, were already dissatisfied with Seraphina's sudden rise to power. They were even less inclined to cooperate with Sivir when she was abroad.

Now, with Seraphina caught up in a scandal, they felt even more justified in their disdain. These people viewed Seraphina as a mere social climber with no real skills.

Discussions dragged on without resolution. Seraphina's proposed plans were met with evasion and indifference. She surveyed the room, recognising the looks on their faces that anticipated her failure.

Julia watched the show with a smirk. Meanwhile, Kris, who was uncharacteristically attending the meeting, remained silent. He silently watched as others made life difficult for Seraphina. After all that, Kris finally cunningly stepped in and provided a way out for Sepraphina. "Seraphina is still young. She secured the Giant Group project, but the field is immature. We cannot predict whether the project will result in a profit or a loss. Naturally, everyone is cautious. "You must understand their concerns, Sepraphina." Kris appeared to provide her with a way out.

Seraphina was well aware of Kris' goals and was unwilling to succumb to his deceptive facade of a caring elder.

"Understand? Did you mean we should breach our contract with Giant Group?" Seraphina retorted, locking eyes with Kris.

Kris froze. If he suggested breaching the contract, Sivir might just kill him when he returned.

"Of course not, but Mr. Cross is abroad, and everyone wasn't sure what to do. Maybe we should wait until he gets back." Kris suggested.

Was this man trying to stall time?

Wasting time meant losing their edge. Without it, the company would lose its lead in the project, rendering participation meaningless. Seraphina lowered her ga. said,

d chuckled softly. Her expression darkened as she surveyed the room and

"In other words, if Mr. Cross doesn't return and none of you know how to work, are you going on strike?"

Seraphina was known for her good temper; she took everyone by surprise when she suddenly flared up. She might have seemed like pampered eye candy, but her temper was proving to be anything but manageable.

"You are all top professionals. If you delay progress when your superior isn't around, can you bear the losses? Which company would hire someone like y
