Chapter 465 The Gun

"Ms. Cross, I hope I'm not frightening you," Thomas said nervously, glancing at Seraphina.

"Please stay here. I'll get someone to back us up now.

"It seems like there are serious issues with these ledgerfar beyond just tax evasion.

Seth's reaction indicated that the problems within those books were substantial, much larger than he was willing to admit. Seraphina pursed her lips, her mind racing with thoughts.

If Seth took those ledgers today, they might never get another chance to retrieve them.

Seth tapped on the car window, impatience written across his face, his smile sickening.

"Ms. Cross, let's talk. Since you're so eager to have this project, just leave the ledgers behind, and you can leave safely."

The scene was already intimidating enough; anyone would feel terrified in such a predicament.

Seraphina slowly lowered the window, revealing her stunning features. Though she smiled, her eyes were filled with cold indifference.

"No one could take what is mine away, unless I choose to let it go."

Seth chuckled lightly and said, "Ms. Cross is humorous. This isn't your decision to make."

He lowered his gaze and looked at the woman inside the car, towering over her. Normally, it was difficult for someone like Seth, a wealthy man, to even have a conversation with a woman of her stature. Now, he stood above her, assuming a condescending posture. "But if you speak some kind words to me, I might just grant your wish."

Seth sneered mockingly.

Seraphina observed his smiling face and was fully aware he was trying to play her. But instead of growing angry, she calmly replied, "Aren't you just here for money? Name your price."

At that moment, a glimmer of greed flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, the car door swung open. Seraphina exited the vehicle at lightning speed, slamming the door into Seth, knocking him to the ground.

The shock hit him like a jolt, and he finally grasped on the situation.

Furious, he glared at the woman and fumed. "You foolish b*tch! Can't you see the situation? How dare you lay a hand on me?"

Seraphina's high heels, clicking against the pavement, looked down at Seth, who had fallen to the ground.

With a cold smirk, she strode towards him and said, "Let me show you who's truly in charge here."

A sleek silver revolver appeared in her hand, its dark barrel pointed directly at Seth's forehead.

He hadn't intended to fight; he brought those men here to intimidate her.

After all, her background was significant. If the situation escalated, it would not be to his advantage.

But who would have thought this woman would be so unpredictable?

Why did she have to pull a gun?

The threat of death left him speechless, sweat trickling down his back. Seth knew he couldn't gamble on whether this woman would actually fire the weapon. D*mn it!

Seth's man took in the scene and dared not make a move. They fixed Seraphina with menacing stares, their posture intimidating.

Meanwhile, Seraphina's bodyguards reacted swiftly, surrounding her car like a fortress, forming a wall of muscle.

Seraphina narrowed her eyes, looking at Seth with a mixture of disdain and determination.

Little did Seth know that a beautiful woman could be so fearless.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He was momentarily paralyzed by fear.

The situation was spiraling out of control.

Standing there in her high heels, Seraphina exuded an air of superiority, seemingly unfazed by the overwhelming numbers against her.

Without clarity in the situation, she had already adopted the stance of a victor, cold and composed.

Seth, with a gun trained on him, quickly shook off his initial panic.

While he feared for his life, Seraphina felt the weight of pressure too.

Even if she was the daughter of the world's richest man, she would face legal repercussions if she shot him.

Unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn't pull the trigger.

Fixing his gaze on Seraphina, the greed in Seth's eyes vanished completely.

Neither dared to move. The two were locked in a tense standoff.

At that moment, Seth's men, seemingly under a command from an unknown source, disregarded Seth's safety and advanced toward Seraphina's bodyguards. The crowd erupted into chaos, and they fought with each other.

And then, from the opposite side of her vehicle, Seth spotted a familiar figure slowly approaching, with a predatory glint sparkling in his eyes.
