Chapter 505 He’s Here
Orion ended the call, started the car, and drove towards Cross Mansion.
The car raced down the road, and Orion couldn’t remember the last time he’d felt this alive–his blood pumping with excitement.
But when the car finally stopped at the gates of Cross Mansion, a chill ran through him, and hesitation gripped his heart.
He picked up his phone and dialed Scraphina’s number once more.
The call went straight to voicemail.
Frustrated, he slammed his fist onto the steering wheel, the sharp honk of the horn slicing through the still night air.
It startled the people inside Cross Mansion.
Benjamin, who was about to call it a night, jumped at the sound. He rushed to the security monitor, and when he saw the familiar car, he knew it was Orion.
Without a moment’s hesitation, he headed to the door and knocked.
“Ms. Seraphina, Mr. Dros is at the gate.”
Seraphina snorted, unimpressed. “Don’t let him in. From now on, don’t let him in, no matter what.”
She had finally seen through this man’s despicable nature.
On the surface, he appeared imposing and wielded great power, but his heart was petty and small.
What had happened today was something she simply couldn’t stomach.
She wasn’t upset for Wilson, simply disgusted by Orion’s methods–too underhanded, too ruthless!
Benjamin acknowledged her order. “Understood. Rest well.”
He turned and left without another word.
Inside the mansion, everything was eerily quiet, as though nothing had happened.
Orion had initially worried that the honking might have woken them, but seeing the lack of movement from the house, he wasn’t sure whether to feel relieved or disappointed.
Even though he was right outside the door, the distance felt insurmountable.
In the cold silence of the long night, a sense of finality washed over him–it was over.
A feeling of bleakness and bitterness rose from deep within him, a sour, painful ache.
He didn’t sleep a wink that night.
His stubble made him look even more disheveled.

The door to Cross Mansion opened, and a car slowly pulled out. It didn’t even slow down when it passed by his car, as though it hadn’t seen him at all.
This was the Crosses‘ attitude.
Suddenly, Orion felt he was insignificant. Here he was, the president of Dros Group, a man who could have anything he wanted, yet here he was, desperate for his ex–wife’s approval.
If this were to become public, how would people react to his actions?
Yet, he couldn’t leave. His heart was torn, and all he could think about was one thing:
If Seraphina would just smile at him, he’d give her anything–even his life.
The morning flew by, and before he knew it, it was nine o’clock.
His team couldn’t find him, so they tried to reach out to him through the phone.
“Mr. Dros, there’s an early meeting scheduled. The driver went to your house to pick you up, but he couldn’t find you. Will you be joining us?”
Ken knew Orion wouldn’t be in the best mood, but he couldn’t afford to ignore work matters.
Orion’s eyes, bloodshot and dim, glanced at Cross Mansion.
“Cancel the meeting,” he ordered. “Unless it’s urgent, don’t contact me.”
With that, he hung up.
Ken thought to himself, a multimillion–dollar deal not urgent enough?
Orion waited outside. Benjamin didn’t come to shoo him away. Yet he couldn’t enter either.
Seraphina woke up feeling refreshed and in a good mood.
She even found herself in the mood to apply a face mask and adjust her wheelchair to half–recline while she waited for Justin to finish preparing breakfast.
Emeris had planned to go fishing, but when he heard that Orion was just outside, he immediately lost all desire to leave.
He was limited to catching a few pet fish in the backyard pond.
At the breakfast table, it was just Justin and Seraphina. Seraphina had a good appetite and ate quietly.
When Justin heard Benjamin’s report, he was a bit surprised.
“That b*stard really waited all night?”
Seraphina shot him a glare. Justin was hopeless–he always brought up the wrong people at the wrong time.
“Did they remove all the online posts?”
Changing the subiect was something Seranhina excelled at

Justin nodded, eager to share the latest updates.

“It was even earlier than Wilson predicted, by two hours. All the evidence has vanished, wiped completely clean. The woman who exposed everything? Her account’s been deleted. She revealed in a post that she received payment for exposing it. She didn’t even know Wilson–she just interned at the same investment bank he worked at. That photo she posted was from a group shot taken during the internship, but she cropped it to make it look like a personal photo.”
