Chapter 401 Accountability

Billy felt a sudden pang of anxiety; everything had been going too smoothly for him here.

He wasn't a professional researcher; all his insights into the development results came through Aiden. Because he represented Seraphina, both Aiden and Orion's people treated him with great respect. He had always believed that with Seraphina involved, this collaboration was a three-way partnership that wouldn't encounter any problems.

But now... something monumental had happened, something that could only be described as a catastrophe.

Seraphina stepped out in her high heels, her demeanor calm as people greeted her. She nodded and smiled, giving nothing away.

On the surface, there was no sign of trouble, but that changed when she reached Aiden's office door.

His secretary was surprised to see her. He asked, "Ms. Dros, what brings you here so suddenly?"

Seraphina smiled lightly. "Is Aiden in?"

The secretary nodded. "Yes, he is."

She acknowledged him but didn't wait for him to announce her; she simply pushed the door open.

Inside, Aiden was on a phone call. He looked surprised when he saw Seraphina enter.

After hanging up, he approached her with a smile, though the coolness of her expression immediately made him uneasy. "Seraphina, what a surprise! I was just thinking we should grab lunch together. There's a new restaurant nearby."

Seraphina fixed him with a piercing gaze and suddenly smiled, but it was anything but warm.

"Aiden, is Giant Group going bankrupt?"

Aiden's face tightened, and his eyes narrowed.

"Seraphina, please get straight to the point."

"You
