At Seraphina’s command, the people behind her surged forward. Two of them firmly restrained Seth, who struggled against their grip.
Meanwhile, the rest acted with swift precision, hauling several boxes of ledgers out from under the table.
Seth’s eyes widened in disbelief.
What on earth? Is this woman robbing us?
In less than five minutes, Thomas arrived and signaled Seraphina. She raised her hand, and the bodyguards released their hold on Seth’s mouth.
Seth gasped for air, panicked, and frustrated.
“You!” He began, but his words were cut short.
Seraphina smiled softly, her demeanor calm. “We’re just checking the accounts. All procedures are legal and compliant. If you have a problem with that, feel free to call the police.”
Seth was nothing but a petty thug. Aside from his penchant for drugs and fights, he had no real skills, he had merely lucked into a position within the management of a company.
There was no reasoning with someone like him, so the most straightforward approach was necessary.
If he decided to call the authorities, Seraphina wasn’t concerned. She could easily stand her ground in a
legal context, backed by the influence of the Cross Group and her legitimate procedures.
Ironically, it was Seth who lacked the courage to report her, knowing full well that he had done some illicit stuff.
If he alerted the police, trouble would come pouring in.
Seraphina operated by her own set of flexible rules. For those who followed the guidelines, she adhered to them as well. But for those who broke the rules, she had no qualms about using lawless methods.
Orion’s worry for Seraphina was unfounded; she had done her homework long before deciding to come
here.
Rather than letting others take control, she preferred to handle matters herself.
When it came to acting tough, she was fearless.
Seraphina flashed a perfect smile before turning on her heel, her expression shifting to one of resolve as she strode confidently in her high heels out of the room.
One by one, her staff left the office.
Seth’s face paled as he grabbed his phone in a panic, hurriedly calling Blake Lee, a major shareholder at Griffin Corporation.
He spoke tremulously, awaiting Blake’s response.

Blake pondered for less than three seconds before erupting in anger, “Damn it! You can’t even handle one woman? You can’t even keep track of a few ledgers? You might as well be prepared to pick up soap in prison!
Seth turned ghostly white, trembling with fear.
“Mr. Holt, what should we do?” He asked, his voice shaking.
“Retrieve those ledgers! No matter the cost!” Blake commanded.
“Yes, sir.”
Although Griffin Corporation wasn’t part of the mafia, their methods bore some resemblance to organized crime.
They constantly skirted the edges of legality, somehow turning every crisis into a safe landing. Gradually, their audacity grew; once they tasted the sweetness of violence, they found it hard to give up.
Inside the car, Seraphina flipped through a ledger, a cold smile playing on her lips.
“No wonder Seth didn’t want anyone taking these ledgers. There are clear discrepancies here. Griffin Corporation will face the charge of tax evasion if they uncover these discrepancies.”
Thomas’s gaze
shifted slightly.
“We need to be cautious.”
Before he could finish, the car suddenly came to a halt.
The driver’s voice trembled as he spoke from the front seat, “Ms. Cross, there are several cars ahead, and it looks like… they’re coming for us.”
Seraphina looked out the window to see several cars blocking the road ahead and behind, trapping them.
Her expression darkened, and she scoffed, “Seth certainly moves quickly.”
Thomas tensed and was on high alert. He said, “Ms. Cross, I fear we might not have enough manpower.”
They had brought only a handful of bodyguards–just over a dozen–while the opposition boasted
- 20.

However, their bodyguards were well–trained and should hold their ground in a fight. The real concern was whether they could hold for a long time.
This was their territory, and they wouldn’t be at a disadvantage in numbers, but Thomas worried more about the aftermath.
Peering through the car window, Seraphina took in the formidable scene outside, which seemed to defy all authority.
There was a reason this project was so difficult to succeed.
Just then. Seth stepped out of his vehicle. grinning confidently.

With so many thugs rallying around him, there was no way he would be afraid for the few that Seraphina had brought along.
