Chapter 520 He Would Never Bow to William

The atmosphere inside the car became thick with tension.

Seraphina tried to pull her hand away, but Qrion tightened his grip immediately.

His hand felt as solid and unyielding as a wall!

His fingers were long and slender, his knuckles sharp, and the heat from his touch was intense against her cool skin. He obviously didn't want to let her go. Emotions that had been buried deep within him began to surface. His gaze Tocked onto Seraphina with an intensity that felt almost unbearable.

"I'm sorry...

His voice was rough and full of regret.

There were so many things he could have said, but all of them seemed to condense into those three simple words.

He never intended to hurt her. His only desire was to protect her.

But someone had used his own hand to cause her pain, and that guilt hit him harder than any physical wound could.

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.
