Chapter 519 The Kidnapping of Ms Cross
The younger woman stepped forward, her voice shaky as she struggled to maintain control.
“That’s him! He’s the one who killed my father, and then he came after me to threaten me!” She cried, pointing at the man with trembling hands.
A murmur of unease spread through the crowd of reporters, and the man in the baseball cap tensed, clearly alarmed. His accomplices, sensing the shift in the atmosphere, began to retreat quickly.
Before they could escape, Thomas and his men moved swiftly to block their path.
Although the press conference had spiraled into chaos, it was clear that the reporters were still captivated by the dramatic accusations from the grieving families
None of them noticed that Orion had already crouched down to lift Seraphina, quietly escorting her away from the scene.
By the time anyone realized what had happened, they had disappeared from view.
Seraphina buried her face in his chest, inhaling his rich, calming sense while experiencing an overwhelming unease.
She longed to shout, but the reporters were everywhere, and she knew the consequences would be far too
great.
Once they were outside, she squirmed in his hold, desperate to free herself.
“Put me down, Orion!” she snapped.
Orion tightened his grip on her, his frustration evident. His eyes darkened, the storm within them growing fiercer.
“Stay still,” he ordered, his voice low and commanding
The past few days had nearly driven him to the edge.
Her lack of response to his calls and messages weighed on him, and the thought of her in danger only made everything worse. What if the man had hurt her?
A sleek black car was parked nearby, and Orion carefully placed her inside, treating her as if she were fragile.
Seraphina, still fuming, stiffened when he came close, her body coiling in anticipation of rejecting him.
“Move away! I want out of this car!” she demanded, glaring at him.
A flicker of amusement flashed across Orion’s face as he smirked slightly.
“And how exactly do you plan on getting out?” he asked his tone cool and confident.
Her right leg was broken, and just the thought of moving it sent waves of pain through her.
Her anger flared hotter, her fury directed at him.

Chapter 519 The Kidnapping of Ms Cross,
He’s doing this on purpose!
He’s kicking me when I’m down!
Even though he had just rescued her, her instincts told her there was no room for gratitude.
Deep down, all she could feel was that he didn’t deserve it.

Before she could voice complaint, Orion effortlessly slid her into the car and settled beside her,
his movements smooth and deliberate.
He leaned back in his seat, his
Baze drifting over the interior of the car.
“You’re just going to sit there’s go,” he said–in–an–almost indifferent tone.
The driver hesitated briefly before starting the engine.
Seraphina furrowed her brow. “Where are we going? My people are still inside. I need to go back.”
Orion’s expression hardened, a hint of mockery twisting his features.
“Your people? When things got dangerous, your people disappeared, unlike me, coming to your rescue.”
Seraphina’s eyes narrowed, her jaw tightening.
She bit her lip before responding coldly, “Did you bring those families, the victims‘ relatives?”
Orion didn’t hesitate. “Of course.”
A brief, uncomfortable silence passed, but Seraphina quickly masked her feelings.
“Well… thanks, I guess.”
Orion tilted his head slightly, his gaze sharp, his tousled hair framing his chiseled features. His voice, smooth and dripping with sarcasm, cut through the air
“Is a ‘thank you‘ all you’ve got for me?”
His words felt insincere, almost like an act.
Seraphina remained composed, her gaze unwavering. “You owe me. That thank you is unnecessary.”
For a fleeting moment, Orion’s expression faltered.
His posture slackened, as if her words had stung more than he cared to admit.
He quickly recovered, his pride intact, though there was a softness in his voice now. “Alright, then … let’s call it even.”
His tone, unusually humble, almost seemed… pitiful.
Seraphina said nothing.
Her phone was still with Thomas, and she hadn’t been able to make any calls.
