Chapter 66
First Windfall Worth 3 Million
Based on her understanding of Hansen, Seraphina took his somewhat suggestive remark as a joke and largely ignored it. She turned away and sat on the sofa, pouring herself a glass of water. The door remained open.
Hansen chuckled softly and sat down across from her on the sofa. He teased, "Seraphina, are you sure you won't consider me? In terms of looks and family background, I'm not any worse off than Orion. When you married him, we all thought you deserved better." He was right. Orion doesn't deserve her in everyone else's eyes.
Unfortunately, in Orion's eyes, it was she who wasn't good enough for him.
Seraphina poured Hansen a glass of water and leaned lazily against the sofa. She asked, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
She actually felt dejected over a man who wasn't worth it.
"Sort of," Hansen smiled, his eyes particularly captivating.
"Get lost!" Seraphina scoffed. Her mood felt inexplicably better.
Hansen smiled again. He suddenly stood up and walked over to her. Without giving her a chance to refuse, he hugged her tightly. His gaze was serious, and it carried a hint of delight as he looked down at her. Hansen said, "He has no right to make you angry, but Seraphina, I want a chance."
The sudden closeness made Seraphina freeze. The faint scent of sandalwood filled her nose, and her heart raced.
Is he going to kiss me?
Frantically, she broke free from his embrace and tried to keep her expression neutral, not wanting him to see through her. No matter who it was, she didn't want to fall into the so-called love trap again.
"Hansen, your skill at sweet-talking women is getting better."
Hansen paused and laughed, stepping back a little. He said, "Not everyone gets this treatment from me."
"It's true that you have so many girlfriends that they could line up around the globe. There will always be someone sweet-talking you." Seraphina raised an eyebrow, teasing him. Everyone knew about Hansen's past escapades.
Hansen chuckled and replied, "That's all in the past. You know none of it was real. I'm innocent."
"Alright, thanks for comforting me, but I'm tired."
She hadn't fully recovered from her last relationship and couldn't accept a new one. Besides, Hansen had been a long-time friend; she didn't want to hurt him or lose this friendship.
Since she wasn't as upset as before, he patted her head, Hansen's gaze was gentle and affectionate as he said, "I'll leave then. Get some rest."

hard for women not to fall for him.
What a Romeo! Seraphina cursed silently. She was glad she could hold her ground.

Her gaze swept across the room and landed on the smoking pipe on the table that hadn't been put away. She smiled slightly, picked it up, and looked at it. Then her smile turned cold. Seraphina took her phone and snapped a close-up photo of the pipe, posting it on her Instagram.
"I heard that this was Charles the Conqueror's pipe. Anyone know how much this thing is worth?"
After posting, she casually tossed the pipe aside and went to rest.
She was upset, so why should others be happy?
Quickly, Olivia and Hansen reposted it, and soon it reached Orion's social media.
Now, everyone knew that the Dros family's heirloom had become a 'trinket' in Seraphina's hands.
Seraphina fell asleep without a care, unaware that Ramona had lost his appetite because of the photo. Hannah and Theresa suffered naturally. Each of them received several slaps from the old man. Waking up groggily around eight in the morning, she answered Olivia's call. "What's up?"
"Quick! You need to check the comments on your latest Instagram post. Someone's offering 7.5 million to buy that pipe! Seraphina, your first windfall is going to earn you 3 million!" 374
