Seraphina Is Back—and She’s Not Alone
The assistant noticed Thomas' dark and brooding expression and quickly said, "Thomas, don't act impulsively. Why don't you first ask Miss Whitewood what's going on?" Thomas cast him a sideways glance, his gaze practically screaming, "Do I look that dumb to you?" Just as he was about to make a call, he stopped. It's still early. She's probably still asleep. Silently, he opened their chat history and sent a message. … Ding! A notification chimed on Seraphina's phone. She pulled the blanket over her head, trying to block out the sound. Nevertheless, the endless barrage of notifications bombarded her ears relentlessly.Frustrated, she yanked off the blanket, gritting her teeth. "Which idiot is trying to ruin my morning?" Grabbing her phone, she saw six new messages from two people; one was Jason, while the other was Thomas. She opened the messages in order. Firstly, there were three messages from Jason. 'Don't worry about the situation on Twitter. I've already assigned someone to handle it. Stay home and rest for now. No need to head to Evelyn's place for the time being.' 'You can have Evelyn set up a blocking program for your phone number to avoid harassment.' 'If you encounter any problems or difficulties, let me know. Don't burden yourself. Your help to Evelyn far outweighs this matter.' Meanwhile, there were also three messages from Thomas. 'Are you awake yet?''Seraphina, bad news—you're trending online, and it's all negative. Don't worry, I've got good news too. I can fix it for you. What do you think?' 'Once you're awake, reply to me, okay? I'll be waiting.' Looking at the starkly different ways they expressed concern, Seraphina's morning grumpiness dissipated. She replied to Jason first before responding to Thomas. In the dead of night in another time zone, Jason looked exhausted. Rubbing his temples with one hand and loosening his tie with the other, he noticed his phone vibrating on the desk. Picking it up, he read the message. It was from Seraphina, who wrote, 'Thank you. I can handle this myself, so there's no need to trouble your team. If I need help, I'll let Evelyn know.' Reading her last sentence, he raised an eyebrow and merely replied, "You can come directly to me."As soon as he sent it, Seraphina's response arrived. "Alright, Uncle Jason." Jason was speechless. If only I can straight away send Evelyn back to Pearlpoint… Stung by a wave of silent frustration, his exhaustion seemed to vanish, replaced by a faint bitterness. "Grady, have our team hold off for now. If she doesn't resolve it, then let them step in. Also, track down the original uploader of the video and the person who leaked her personal information." Grady, who was about to take a break, replied, "Understood, Mr. Drakon." … Meanwhile, Thomas couldn't even focus on breakfast, his eyes glued to his phone. The moment the screen lit up, he eagerly opened the message. 'I'm awake. You're not planning to post on Twitter in my defense, are you?' It was a message from Seraphina.Upon seeing her reply, he finally relaxed. Seraphina didn't seem affected by the online storm. She could even joke about it. 'That's actually a pretty good idea.' 'Please don't. I'm afraid your fans would tear me apart. If you take sides publicly, it'll only escalate the situation. So, please stay out of it. I'll handle it myself.' Thomas frowned. It felt like Seraphina was putting distance between them. His handsome face scrunched up. 'Serrie, what am I to you?'
