Chapter Inhert 114
Chapter 114 I Wish Them Happiness
Jessica's name had repeatedly appeared in Orion and Seraphina's marriage. Tonight, her arrival with the Droses solidified her reputation as the other woman.
Their intention to embarrass Seraphina instead backfired, leaving them humiliated.
Seraphina paused. She lowered her head and let out a gentle smile.
"Mr. Dros and Ms. Yancy make a perfect pair. I'll join everyone in blessing them."
Both families were under intense scrutiny at this moment. The reporters, as well as Seraphina's words, had thoroughly humiliated the Droses. Despite the absence of explicit words, the disdain and ridicule in people's eyes were palpable.
A hidden tycoon had married into the Drosses; the family had almost gained control of the entire Cross Group, only to drive her away foolishly.
Amid the scornful glances, Orion stood tall. His face showed no emotion, making it impossible to gauge his thoughts.
Unlike the twisted faces of Theresa and Hannah, he knew that in moments like these, one must not lose
composure.
He remained calm and composed. Despite the situation, Orion showed such cold elegance. He had truly proven himself to be someone who had weathered many storms. Seraphina's indifferent gaze swept over him. She smiled lightly and said, "The past is not important. Let bygones be bygones. Tonight, I have another announcement to make."
She casually glanced in Ramona's direction. A hint of mockery flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"As many of you know, I recently purchased a smoking pipe once owned by Charles the Conqueror at an
auction."
She paused and observed Ramona's face turn pale as he stared at her in panic. Seraphina continued slowly, "I have decided-"
"Wait!" Ramona could no longer tolerate it, so she stepped forward to interrupt her. Seraphina's hidden identity and deceit had made the Drosses a laughingstock, but these were bearable. However, the smoking pipe was something different; it must not fall into someone else's hands.
"Seraphina, you know that the smoking pipe is a symbol of my family. I'm willing to pay ten times the price to repurchase it. The extra money can be considered compensation from my family to you." Seizing the initiative gives control over the conversation, but Seraphina was still too inexperienced.
The initial 45 million had now turned into 450 million a windfall from the sky.
Though the amount was significant, it wasn't enough to tempt Seraphina.
Feeling the tension in the air, everyone's attention was on Seraphina.

"Mr. Ramona, all of your family's assets combined are less than mine. We can no longer measure the value of the smoking pipe in monetary terms. I've decided to donate it to a museum for free."
She tilted her head and let out a smile. Seraphina reached out to a person standing nearby and introduced herself as the museum's curator. Everyone will witness the smoking pipe find its best home in the museum, where all those who love and respect history can share its story.
"I believe this will be more valuable than Mr. Ramona's possession alone. I'm sure Mr. Ramona will support my decision."
A mature, dignified man approached, accompanied by two subordinates. After a brief word of thanks, he took the box containing the smoking pipe from Seraphina. He departed while everyone was watching.
Emeris looked at his daughter with satisfaction. He spoke a few words and invited everyone to mingle freely. As for the Droses, he couldn't care less about their thoughts.
At this moment, Ramona's face was livid with rage and unable to utter a word.
