Chapter 199 A Surprise

Seraphina opened the second box with mixed feelings

It was a white hat for the winter.

It was simple in style, and there was nothing particularly special about it.

Moreover, Seraphina recognized it instantly-it was a past-season Chanel piece from two years ago.

Back then, it was a limited edition.

Today, it was nothing extraordinary.

Olivia scoffed disdainfully.

"What the heck? I already have one of these, and it's an old design from years ago. Mr. Dros couldn't be more thoughtless!"

Sarah watched thoughtfully and said nothing.

Seraphina was equally surprised.

A complex emotion tinged her gaze.

Without hesitation, she opened the third box.

Inside was a finely crafted, flawless emerald bracelet.

The color was vibrant, and the texture was refined and luxurious. It was a simple, elegant, and flawless piece.

It was worth a fortune, easily in the seven-figure range.

It was likely that the combined value of all the gifts from today's guests didn't even come close to these two -a diamond necklace and an emerald bracelet. Orion surely knew how to make a statement.

Seraphina froze slightly. She didn't want to dwell on the past, but those memories-surged up in her mind. uncontrollably.

The first time, she had given him a ring: he had returned the favor with a necklace.

The second time, she gave him a scarf; he had sent her a hat in return.

The third time, there was nothing from either of them.

And now he had given her an emerald bracelet. Was Orion attempting to make up for the gifts he had previously owed her? Those events were concluded a long time ago, yet they are now replayed vividly in her mind."

Chapter 199 A Surprise

A twinge of sourness gripped her heart, making her heart sink.

Orion, you certainly have a knack for ruining the mood, don't you? 84 61

think that with this gesture, I'd act like nothing ever happened?

I had made it clear that we owed each other nothing, but he repeatedly reminded me of past events, again and again.

Fine then, she thought. If that's how he wants to play, he can't blame her for what happens next.

"Well, Ms. Cross must be truly lucky-receiving two such grand gifts in one night. Mr. Dros must have put a lot of thought into this. It seems to me that you two are a perfect match. Why don't you take this opportunity to rekindle your relationship?" Seraphina's cold gaze flicked over to the speaker.

Hmph! That's Jennifer. All the people I didn't want to see actually showed up at my party.

Everyone around them perked their ears, eager to hear more.

If these two really did get back together, it would be bigger news than any celebrity scandal.

It would be an event that shook the entire business world.

A powerful union like theirs would be unstoppable.

The women who coveted Orion would be out of luck.

The onlookers didn't want them to reconcile, but they were just secretly envious and resentful. When Seraphina heard Jennifer's words, she didn't feel moved; instead, she let out a cold laugh. "Selling myself for a couple of gifts? It seems like Ms. Perez hasn't received many presents lately."

She nonchalantly closed the box, ignoring Jennifer's sour expression.

Her expression was calm and indifferent.

'I'll accept Mr. Dros's gift. Thank you."

Her casual dismissal left everyone stunned.

The relationship between her and Orion was indeed a mystery.

A former husband giving his ex-wife such gifts-it was awkward, to say the least.

Everyone secretly thought that the Cross Group princess was indeed someone who had seen the world. Facing such gifts, she remained calm and composed.

Her demeanor was steady and cool.

Seraphina was ready to leave. She didn't want to stay, and she endured the strange looks from everyone.

"Seraphina, I just saw Hansen secretly instructing someone to prepare for some sort of ceremony. It seems like he's planning a surprise for you." Seraphina frowned slightly. That sounded like something Hansen would do.

"And there were a lot of roses," Olivia mumbled.

Seraphina was puzzled. What would he need-roses to surprise her?

"He didnon anything to us beforehand. Sarah and I had no clue. She was the one who told me to let you

know," Olivia said, shaking her head in exasperation at Hansen's secrecy.

This was serious, and she needed to steer clear of it.

"I get it. If Hansen dares to pull any stunts here, my family won't let him off the hook!" Seraphina replied confidently with a cold snort.

No matter what, tonight's birthday party had to be perfect.

Olivia raised an eyebrow and nodded.

Suddenly, a commotion outside caught everyone's attention.

Someone exclaimed, "It's fireworks!"

Everyone turned toward the window,

Giant fireworks exploded in the sky in a dazzling array of colors. It was burning brightly and brilliantly. As the fireworks blossomed, they began to form the image of a woman's face in the night sky-long, wavy hair, sharp eyebrows, and a slight smile. Care and precision went into crafting every detail.

What genuinely took everyone's breath away was how unmistakably the face resembled one person.

"Isn't that Ms. Cross?" Someone finally blurted it out.

"Yes, it really is Ms. Cross!"

Seraphina also saw it. What began as admiration quickly turned into shock.

A deep unease now permeated the initial surprise.

In the city's prime location, the sky was filled with dazzling fireworks that shone brilliantly.

The entire city's night sky lit up in just a few minutes.

It was a grand gesture to light up the sky with fireworks to celebrate Seraphina's birthday.

Orion had promised three gifts, and Seraphina had received them

Whoever orchestrated this display spared no expense. It wasn't Orion, so who could it be?
