NovelEnglishFinished Chapter 298 Securing the Deal Hugo could feel the cold indifference radiating from Wilson, and he didn't dare meet his gaze.
He was starting to wish he hadn't agreed to bring Andrew along.
Hugo thought that after working with Wilson for years, his employer would value his opinion and took his words into consideration.
At this moment, a chill swept over him, and he couldn't help but tremble all over.
He had forgotten that he was just a butler, after all.
No matter how impressive or enviable it seemed to others that he could be Wilson's butler, he was nothing more than a servant in his employer's eyes.
Hugo stammered as he tried to explain himself, "Mr. Rockwell, I didn't mean any harm. I saw Ms. Cross wearing Mrs. Rockwell's dress, and I panicked. That's why I- Wilson's glare cut through him like a dagger.

Then Wilson gestured. The bodyguard emerged from the shadows and immediately stepped forward. Wilson ordered, "Throw them out." He didn't even spare a glance at Hugo's pale face, his voice completely devoid of emotion.
"From today onwards, you have no further ties with me. Since you broke my family rules, you'd better disappear before I take action myself." Hugo's complexion turned pale, and before he could respond, the bodyguards moved in. One grabbed his mouth, while the other dragged him away. Andrew and Miguel, who stood nearby, were also thrown out unceremoniously.
Wilson stood silently for a few moments. His grim expression was slowly easing. He turned around and glanced at Seraphina with a smile. "I'm sorry for the scene, Ms. Cross. You shouldn't have had to hear that." Seraphina smiled in understanding. She said, "It's alright. But this dress... is it... ?" It seemed like this dress had sconnection to Dani mother, based on the conversation earlier.
Seraphina glanced at Dani, who blinked his eyes and immediately shook his head.
"No!" Wilson paused for a moment before relaxing.

Seraphina didn't press any further, but she followed along.
Little Dani was led away to get something to eat.
Finishe Orion had remained seated the whole time. He kept his gaze fixed on them, ignoring the others around him who tried to engage him in conversation.
Wilson took his place in the middle of the table. His aura was commanding and mysterious, a presence not unlike the cold and imposing energy that Orion exuded from across the room.
The rest of the guests also hurriedly sat down.
It was a private dinner. They called it a 'banquet but it was more of a business meeting in nature.
At the high-level gathering, everyone had their eyes on collaborating with Wilson. All the key players knew that securing his favor could mean enormous benefits. They knew, however, that no one could compete with the Droses. The moment Seraphina arrived, their hopes dwindled further.
Seraphina took her seat to Orion's left. The atmosphere grew heavy.
Wilson paused briefly before his voice rang out, calm and deep, as though the earlier unpleasantness had never occurred.
"The reason for tonight's banquet is twofold, First, I wanted to get to know you all-prominent figures in the city's business world. My ventures here will surely require your support.

"Mr. Rockwell, are you certain you want to finalize the deal with Gross Group without any professional evaluation or a thorough vetting process?" He glanced at Seraphina, his eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and something else an emotion harder to define.
