Chapter 97
Hannah's Revenge
Sarah knew the power the Crosses held. For then refusing again would be rude.
a yacht was nothing. Since they were so familiar,
"Thank you, Justin."
Justin raised his eyebrow and patted her head. He praised, "Good girl."
Sarah froze. A faint blush spread across her cheeks.
Justin looked down at Seraphina and spoke affectionately, "Satisfied now? Can we go?"
Seraphina nodded and waved at Sarah, linking arms with him. "Goodbye!"
In Justin's car, Seraphina looked down at her phone. Messages in the group chat were exploding with disappointment and regret about Hansen missing the fashion show.
His father had sent him abroad, and he wouldn't return for another two weeks.
Olivia, who had left early, posted several photos of herself and Seraphina on the runway. Hansen's lavish praise was all for Seraphina, which led to a fierce argument between him and Olivia. Seraphina couldn't help but smile. Indeed, this was satisfying. This was something meaningful.
The next morning, Seraphina reluctantly opened her eyes to the sound of her phone ringing.
It was Olivia calling.
Baffled, Seraphina answered the call. She asked, "Why are you calling so early?"
Olivia cursed, "Damn it, someone's slandering you online! The internet is in an uproar!"
"What happened?"
"Someone posted a tweet with your real name, spreading a lot of misleading rumors. Wor these revelations can't be suppressed!"
Olivia spoke with urgency. "You need to check it out now."
Seraphina hung up and went online. As expected, her name was trending at the top.
Sighing, she clicked to read the details.
"Seraphina has no background or connections. How did she become a VP at a public company?"
"Seraphina took no alimony from her divorce. How did she afford a Cayenne?"
"Who is Seraphina's sugar daddy?"
"Stay tuned for the revelation."
Hannah's Revenge
private life as scandalous and her divorce as anything but simple. The narrative led to the worst possible interpretation.
Seraphina's face darkened as she checked the latest stock market updates.
Cross Group's stock suffered as anticipated, falling several points and losing billions in market value.
Her phone rang again. She quickly answered.
*Sivir
Sivir's voice sounded tired. He asked, "Is Justin with you?"
"Yes, we came back late last night. He's here."
Sivir urged, "Good. Don't go out today. You don't need to come to the office.
"I've seen the news online. I'll contact Michael immediately," Seraphina replied. This wasn't the first time she had faced slander. The last time, rumours about her relationship with Justin were rampant.
But this time was different. Previously, the focus was on her personal life. Now, there was a hint of targeting Cross Group.
If it were only about her, she wouldn't be worried, but involving the company meant dealing with too many complications.
Someone was definitely orchestrating this in the dark.
And unlike Kris, this individual was not a fool. This was a smart person.
The culprit had precisely attacked Seraphina's weak spot.
"I've already talked to Michael. He can't control it. They are using those marketing accounts to target you.
Seraphina frowned and asked, "Have you found out who's behind this?"
Who would dig up old issues and smear her reputation to such an extent?
Sivir's laugh was cold. He asked, "Who else has such power?"
Seraphina's heart sank. She asked, "Orion?"
Was it because she had cost his family a few hundred thousand dollars yesterday and humiliated Hannah? Was he taking revenge on her?
