Chapter 471 Admitting Defeat 

Thomas had reserved a table at the upscale Frencette restaurant. As was their usual custom, he had booked the whole place for their private dining experience

Seraphina had no intention of letting anyone see her dining with Orion

With a simple wave of her hand, she ordered her meal and handed the menu to Orion

He barely glanced at it before saying. Same.” 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and shot him a look

All she had ordered was a single fruit salad

Orion settled into his chair, appearing relaxed and somewhat indifferent. What’s next? When are we heading back?” 

Seraphina smiled wryly and said, Soon. If all goes well, we should be back by tomorrow morning.” 

If everything went smoothly, once Seth and Blake were captured, she could return to the company and leave Joseph to discuss the acquisition

Orion seemed pleased by her words. He assumed Seraphina had taken his advice

His expression softened, and he said, Don’t worry; you’ve done well for your first time handling this.” 

Now, the real showdown was between him and Senator Long

He had no intention of getting directly involved in negotiations with Blake

To test Blake’s limits, pressure was necessary, and that pressure would have to come from Senator Long

The best way to deal with a rogue was to be even more roguelike

He wouldn’t throw too much money at Blake; he aimed to cut the root of the problem instead, and everything was already arranged

Lost in thought, his phone rang

It was Senator Long

He glanced at Seraphina, who seemed unbothered

Orion answered the call without hesitation

As he listened to Senator Long, his expression shifted from shock to something darker, deeper, as he locked eyes with Seraphina

Finally, the look in his eyes settled into a calm demeanor as he exchanged a few pleasantries before ending the call

From his reaction, Seraphina understood Senator Long’s message loud and clear

She had won this round

Three seconds passed in silence

Orion opened his mouth, suddenly letting out a low laugh, his narrow eyes glinting with intrigue

Seraphina, you always manage to surprise me!” 

Surprised enough to win while he was distracted

Seraphina smiled at him, her voice slow and teasing. Was it a surprise? Or a shock?” 

Orion’s attitude was unexpectedly calm; he neither appeared flustered nor pretended to be magnanimous

Just a normal reaction

After a moment of contemplation, Orion asked, Do you know what Senator Long said?” 

I can guess,she replied honestly

After making significant progress, she should hand over the project to the Crosses. Otherwise, it would imply private dealings between Senator Long and Orion

If Orion’s opponent had been someone else, Senator Long might have considered lending him a hand

But the Cross Group had just as strong a background as the Dros Group. Once accusations of unfair insider trading came into play, the repercussions could threaten Senator Long’s future

Thus, he had to play fair

Orion rubbed his forehead, chuckling softly, his admiration unmasked in his eyes

We’ve caught Seth, and we’re already sending a team to capture Blake. The Griffin Corporation is gearing up for a major overhaul. In less than a day, you’ve turned Eldoria Bay upside down. You’ve won.” 

He had underestimated Seraphina all along

While he had spent four hours preparing ingredients to cook, she had been organizing everything behind the scenes

He had expected her to be fearful, fatigued, or in need of a break

But she hadn’t paused for a moment

Her actions were astonishingly quick, her responses calm and sharp; no one could match her efficiency

This was the girl he admiredoutstanding, bold, intelligent, and unyielding

He willingly admitted his defeat

Seraphina lowered her gaze, a soft smile gracing her lips. I know. Thank you for the compliment.” 

Orion’s eyes narrowed, a playful smile curling his lips

Seraphina, if you ever come to Droses, I’ll make sure you get the best treatment.” 

What a worthy opponent

Seraphina raised an eyebrow in challenge and said, If you come to Cross Group, you won’t get the best treatment.” 

A sudden bitterness washed over Orion. She used to belong to him; it was he who had let her slip away

Now, with the Cross Group in her corner, she would never again rely solely on him

Your meal is served; please enjoy,” the waiter announced as he pushed a cart to their table, setting down the fruit salads before discreetly stepping back

These two had spent a fortune renting the entire place, but they only ordered two fruit salads

Indeed, wealthy people dine for the experience

Orion stared at the fruit salad before him, his expression frozen in disbelief

He hadn’t quite caught what Seraphina had orderedhe only wanted to have the same thing. And this was all they had
