Chapter 504

"Sis... you're overthinking it. Orion and I are just colleagues! I was job hunting and happened to land a position at Imperial Gem Corporation, that's all. Please, don't say a word to Dad! Dad... well, he had his reasons. Orion does have some influence in Banyan City, and

since you moved to Emperor City, and considering your past collaboration with him, Dad thought Orion could offer our family some protection."

Whitney understood. Her uncle, for the sake of their family and her, had meticulously thought things through, even willing to reconcile with Orion. At the end of the day, it was because she wasn't strong enough. Whitney clenched her fists, determined that this time around, she would secure a position at the Sheldon Group. Skye Gem Ltd., she would ensure it thrived in Emperor City.

"Orion might be a decent boss, but trust me, he's no gentleman. Did you know, once he ditched me mid-deal to hook up with an ex! Yael, don't be naive..." Whitney aimed to spook the young girl a bit.

Yael turned pale. "Whitney, why would you bad-mouth me! I've explained that situation; it was her chasing after me, and I didn't even share a bed with her!"

Orion, appearing at the doorway unbeknownst to them, cast a resentful look toward Yael, scoffing, "You think everyone's like Ludwik, unable to cut ties with past flings..." He was midway through his mockery when he suddenly shifted gears, "But given how awful Florence was to him, he should finally realize who truly deserves his love! I'd love to see Ludwik groveling and slapping himself in front of you, ha!"

Whitney was unimpressed with his sycophancy, warning him, "Stay away from my cousin."

Yael, shrinking like a scared rabbit, coughed hastily, "Sis, shouldn't you be heading to the airport?"
