Chapter 113
The Reversal of Public Opinion
Sivir's words fell like a bombshell, shaking everyone present. Just like that, Sivir handed over the reins of the Cross Group.
No competition, no scandalous family drama, no chaotic power struggles...
Seraphina stood calmly to the side, but she was slightly taken aback. Sivir hadn't mentioned anything about transferring shares to her beforehand. It was all too sudden. How had the Cross Group suddenly landed in her lap? She felt as though someone had dropped a towering pile of gold at her feet, so huge she couldn't even see the top.
After a moment of stunned silence, the room erupted in applause.
People put their hands together to celebrate Seraphina's return and Sivir's magnanimity.
Amid the applause, a reporter couldn't resist raising a question. "Ms. Cross, how do you respond to the slanderous rumours about you online? Does your divorce from Mr. Dros signify a rift between your families?"
The reporter didn't want to miss this chance. If he waited until the press conference ended, he might have missed the scoop.

However, I am grateful to be my father's daughter, which allows me to clarify everything here. If I were an ordinary person, such overwhelming, malicious attacks might have led someone with a weaker mind to commit suicide.
This slanderous farce was clearly an abuse of power by the Droses.
If it had been an ordinary person, they wouldn't have stood a chance of fighting back.
Given the Droses influence, causing someone to be socially exiled was as easy as a piece of cake.
She wasn't so kind-hearted as to cover up for anyone. Given the chance, she would naturally let everyone know of Droses despicable nature.

Seraphina was actually the Cross Group's heiress!

It's not surprising that when she married Orion, his family's extensive network was unable to uncover any information about her past. She claimed to be an orphan, so they believed her. Erasing all traces like this was effortless for the Crosses.
The divorce was to correct her future path.
Orion's brows furrowed tightly, and he felt a tightness in his chest.
So marrying him had been the wrong turn in her life?
"Ms. Cross, was the real reason for your divorce from Mr. Dros because of the third party involved?"
The reporter pressed on. Everyone remembered the online scandal that erupted after their divorce. There were countless sighs echoing silently.
Jessica had been glaring at Seraphina, but she suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis upon hearing the reporter's question.
