Chapter 76

Upon hearing this, the woman froze momentarily, slowly raising her eyes to meet his gaze.

Their eyes met, and Balch’s no longer held the warmth and clarity it once did. Behind his thin glasses,an icy coldness was hard to conceal.

She slowly let go of him, staring at him for a long while before finally sneering, “So, you’re here for her”

She turned around, took a few stiff steps away, but couldn’t help turning back. “We haven’t seen eachother alone in almost two years before she showed up. After she did, you’ve seen me three times, allbecause of her! Now, she’s Leandrd’s fiancée, yet she shamelessly keeps approaching your What doyou

even see in a woman like that?”

Balch listened to her quietly, his expression remaining cold, “So, you’re not backing down?”

“No!” The woman trembled slightly, “I want her dead“”

Upon hearing this, Balch gave her another look, and prepared to leave.

Seeing his actions, the woman panicked, rushing forward to embrace him from behind, “Don’t go! Iknow I was wrong, I won’t mess with her again, please don’t leave, okay?”

Balch stood still, the woman quickly moved in front of him, blocking his way and hugged him again,pleading in a low voice, “I know I was wrong, I really do. I’m just angry at how she’s treating you, I feellike it’s unfair to you, everything I did was for you…”

As she spoke, she gently kissed Balch, continuing to murmur, “As long as you have nothing to do withher, I won’t cause any trouble…”

However, Balch suddenly grabbed her wrist, gently pushing her away.

“Whatever my relationship with her is, it’s none of your business”

“Okay, okay… The woman quickly responded, “I promise you, I won’t cause you trouble…”

“Remember what you’ve said Balch replied coldly, letting go of her wrist.

The woman was overjoyed. She reached out to hug him, but Balch sidestepped her and walkedstraight out the door.

The woman stood there, facing the closed door, her body shaking uncontrollably with jealousy andresentment.

When Seraphina woke up, she learned from Sandra that she was in the news again.

There were many witnesses at the scene of the car accident last night taking photos and videos, andthe police were called, Seraphina thought, it would be hard to not make the news.

“What happened with the car accident?” Sandra demanded over the phone, “Why do you keep gettinginto trouble? Is it because of Balch?”novelbin

“It’s near a bar, there are lots of drunk people, so car accidents are common, I just happened to bethere. Seraphina responded casually

“And what’s going on with you and Balch?”

I’m openly hanging out with him as friends, and I don’t care who’s watching, what can the public sayabout it?”

Sandra snorted, “Everyone is practically worshipping you as a goddess now! You’re handling these twohandsome and prestigious billionaires with ease. even I want to applaud you.”

“If you’re willing to learn, I can teach you how.” Seraphina said, “After all, you’re my best friend.”

Sandra simply hung up the phone.

Seraphina put down her phone and checked her email, which she hadn’t opened in a few days. Sherandomly flipped through and noticed an interesting

email

She dialed the number in the email, and the person on the other end was extremely excited to arrangea meeting.

By noon, Seraphina was getting ready when there was a knock at the door.

Balch’s secretary stood at the door, greeting her with a warm smile, “Ms. Bennett, Mr. Lawson askedme to bring you a gift.”

Taking the box from his hands, Seraphina opened it with some confusion, but her eyes lit up insurprise.

“Also, Mr. Lawson would like to invite you to dinner tonight, is that okay?”

Seraphina showed the secretary the expensive sapphire jewelry set in the box, replying confidently.With Mr. Lawson being so generous, how could I say

no?”

This was the jewelry set she left at Rosewood Estates when she left, and now Balch had it delivered toher. How nice, it would come in handy today. Seraphina redid her makeup, donned a pair of stunning

sapphire earrings, chose a cocktail dress, and left to meet her appointment.

The person she was meeting was a top executive at Sunburst City’s leading entertainment company,Robinson. Given that the company represented both Georgina and Fidelia, Seraphina certainlywouldn’t refuse.

The meeting was at the company’s office. Upon meeting, Robinson praised Seraphina, “Ms. Bennett,you’re truly a natural beauty. I was amazed when I first saw your photos, and meeting you in person, Ican’t take my eyes off you!”

“Mr. Robinson, you are flattering me” Seraphina said.

Robinson smiled, “The email I sent you was to seek a partnership. With your potential, you coulddefinitely become a top actress… Of course, I later found out you’re Mr. Reynolds‘ fiancée. With yourstatus, you obviously don’t need to get involved in the entertainment industry. But, just in case you’reinterested, we could still collaborate, right?”

In just a few sentences, Robinson had nearly swept Seraphina off her feet. She spent over an hourtalking with him, and if she wasn’t so determined, she might have been swayed by the grand plan helaid out for her career in the entertainment industry.

“Mr. Robinson, with your sincerity, I’m willing to give it a shot. Seraphina said, “But as you know, theReynolds family is a big deal, and this isn’t something I can decide on my own.”

“Absolutely, absolutely,” Robinson said, “Ms. Bennett, feel free to have a chat with Mr. Reynoldswhenever you fancy, just give me a call anytime”

After their chat, Robinson walked Seraphina out. Just as they were about to leave, they bumped into afew young actresses. One of them spotted Seraphina and immediately rushed over to grab her arm,

“Seraphina!”

Seraphina turned to see who it was and quickly recognized her. It was Una, the young starlet she hadmet at Ike Whitman’s party.

Seeing this, Robinson asked, “Una, you know Ms. Bennett?”

“Of course!” Una said, “Seraphina, we had such a blast last time we chatted, didn’t we?”

Seraphina quickly broke into a smile, holding Una’s hand she said to Robinson, “Mr. Robinson, this is aclose friend I’m very fond of, smart and stunning. If there’s a chance, please do take good care of her,”

“No doubt!” Robinson said, “She’s already one of the actresses we plan to nurture. She’s hard–workingand talented, her career is bound to be full of potential!”

Hearing this, Una’s eyes turned red with excitement, her gratitude for Seraphina was evident.

Seraphina gave her hand a reassuring pat, “Did you hear that? You better pull your socks up, don’t letthe company and Mr. Robinson’s expectations down.”

Una nodded vigorously, “I got it, thanks a lot, Seraphina.”
