Chapter Inhert 530
Chapter 530 Just to Get Under Your Skin
Ramona seemed certain that Seraphina would not take any drastic action. After all, the Crosses maintained a high standard, taking pride in their refined reputation and disdaining dirty tactics.
"I'm going to tell Orion what you've done!"
For a brief moment, Ramona's face stiffened.
His eyes narrowed, and though he wasn't worried about Orion learning about his dealings with old connections, the thought of Orion finding out that he had reached out to Seraphina was a different matter. He might very well lose his mind. The two men at the door remained uncertain, unsure of whether they should step in.
Ramona snapped an order. "Move! Get them under control. Don't let them leave!"
Seraphina's voice rang out, cold and commanding. "Let's see who dares."
She released her tight grip on the cane and shifted to one side. Despite her limp, her movements were quick and graceful.
Ramona smirked. "Go ahead. Try it."
Seraphina glanced down at him, her gaze piercing.
"Fine, I'll do it."
With that, she lifted her cane high and brought it down hard on the chair.
The force sent the chair crashing to the ground with a loud thud, pulling Ramona down along with it.
Ramona's body trembled, his fury evident as he struggled to maintain control.
It was humiliating!
The two bodyguards moved forward, ready to act, but before they could do anything, the door was flung
open.
A sharp, authoritative sound echoed in the room as Orion stepped in, his expression cold and firm.
Ken followed closely behind him. Both were momentarily stunned by the scene,
Ramona was lying on the ground, looking disheveled. Was this the same powerful man they had known?
And Seraphina, standing with her cane, appeared calm and poised. She flashed a confident smile, and even her hair seemed perfectly styled.
The bodyguards, seeing Orion, immediately shrank back as if they'd seen a ghost, retreating to the side without daring to confront him. Orion let out a relieved breath.
Well, it seemed that Seraphina, despite her limp, had handled Ramona far more easily than he had

His expression shifted, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth as he moved toward Seraphina, his face returning to its usual, neutral demeanor. "Well, looks like you've made quite a recovery..."
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on her lips. "I'm sure you and your family have been thinking about me, so I'm getting better quickly."
One person was lying on the floor, and these two were casually chatting?
Ramona's scalp prickled with fury. "Orion, are you blind?"
Orion looked down at him, his hands casually stuffed in his pockets, his stance completely relaxed.
He responded, his voice laced with sarcasm, "Mr. Ramona, if you're in such bad health, why are you running around? Seems like your butler isn't doing his job well. Maybe I should get him replaced with someone more competent." "I dare you!"
Ramona was shaking with rage, struggling to control his emotions as his face turned bright red.
Orion didn't hesitate for a second-he would dare anything now. No one could threaten him any longer.
He didn't even need to ask what had happened. The situation was clear enough. Seraphina was not the one in danger here.
Orion grabbed Ramona roughly, yanking him upright with no trace of gentleness.
Ken immediately stepped forward to assist, untangling Ramona from the chair before escorting him out keeping a firm grip on his side.
As they passed the bodyguards, Orion paused and glanced at them.
"Aren't you two going to leave?"
The bodyguards exchanged quick glances before quickly backing away.

They were merely hired muscle working for the club, brought in by Ramona to add a little extra force. They weren't about to get caught up in anything that could bring them into conflict with the Crosses or the Droses. With that, only three people remained in the room.
Seraphina's smile was cold, her gaze unwavering. Thomas stood beside her, his expression unreadable, always the silent protector.

Orion couldn't help but feel a flicker of frustration. His eyes flashed with a hint of coldness before he smiled.
"Mr. Ramona's not well. Don't take it personally."
Seraphina raised an eyebrow. "He said he wanted me to date Kaveh, just to get under your skin."
