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!

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.
