“That’s what Ms. Seraphina means!” Joseph said impatiently. “If you’re not happy, go complain to Mr. Emeris!”
Anyone who reached a high position after years of battling their way up the corporate ladder was extremely sharp.
It dawned on him that Seraphina’s sudden manipulation was likely due to her dislike for her cousin.
His special treatment of Katie irked Seraphina.
The smartest move now was to cut all ties with Katie, whom Seraphina despised.
Katie hesitated for a moment, biting her lip. The thought of going to Emeris to complain was she begrudgingly gathered her things and left the office. *
daunting, so
Once she learned that the project team was starting up again, Katie obediently threw herself into her work. Seraphina seems satisfied.
Turning to Thomas, she instructed, “Did you schedule a meeting with Senator Long for tonight?”
Yes, at the vacation villa, along with his secretary,” Thomas replied.
Seraphina nodded and said, “Make sure Joseph attends
This gathering was specially arranged for him; it was unthinkable for him to miss it.
Thomas immediately understood and went to inform Joseph.
By evening, Seraphina picked up Joseph and brought Thomas along to the pre–arranged villa.
When mingling with people of such status, discretion was paramount. They were heading to an exclusive villa, inaccessible to the average person and boasting a plethora of entertainment facilities.
Joseph had spent the afternoon buried in documents, and his head was spinning. He was surprised at how quickly he was pulled into this social affair; it felt surreal.
Seraphina was focused on her phone, responding to emails, with little time to acknowledge him. Finally, when she had a moment, Thomas handed her a bowl of pumpkin soup he had prepared earlier, a light meal to ease her stomach before the drinks flowed.

Wiping sweat from his brow, Joseph replied, “Ma’am, I don’t understand. The project you showed me has been on hold for a long time—it’s practically abandoned. This gathering … it won’t be about that project, will it?”
“Exactly!” Seraphina said, surprising him.
Joseph was momentarily dumbfounded and quickly explained, “The real estate market is struggling; everyone is desperate to unload their properties, especially that piece of land. It has changed hands several

She captivated Joseph for a brief moment. Seraphina suddenly turned to him, her smile radiant.
“When failure strikes, someone must forge ahead. We may have set real estate aside for a while, but we never left this industry. Revitalizing stagnant waters is true skill. Besides, I know that the Eldoria Bay project is set to restart. It’s poised for significant development in the coming years.”
Seraphina had gathered this reliable information from elsewhere, but she couldn’t reveal too much.
Joseph began to grasp the implications.
If Eldoria Bay deemed this project essential, it would enjoy strong policy support, a significant advantage for developers.
With such backing and the Cross Group as a safety net, they couldn’t possibly fail.
At that moment, Joseph experienced a surge of energy, akin to a resurgence. It reminded him of his youthful days when he would charge into challenges without a second thought, ready to face any adversity.
He turned to look at Seraphina, seeing her in a new light.
As they arrived, Thomas stepped out to open the door
Just as Seraphina exited the vehicle, Thomas whispered, “Senator Long has just arrived; he’s waiting at the
entrance.”
She looked up to see two figures standing by the car.
As she was preparing to walk over, she suddenly spotted Orion by another vehicle.
