Chapter 323 I Need an Explanation Inside the castle.
Orion's health had just begun to improve. The butlers and maids in the castle attended to him meticulously, not daring to slack off even for a moment.
He leaned against a leather chair, his face pale but resolute, staring at the email Ken had sent him on his computer.
His phone rang incessantly. Orion glanced at it-it was Lucius.
He turned his gaze away, ignoring the call.
However, Lucius was persistent. He called repeatedly, making it clear he wouldn't stop until Orion picked 1. up.
Annoyed, Orion shut his laptop and picked up the phone with a grim expression.
His voice was low and cold.

Lucius paused for a moment. His voice was filled with excitement and nervousness that he couldn't hide.
"What are you up to? Did you go to Frencette with Seraphina?" Orion replied indifferently, "Yeah, if there's nothing important. I'm hanging up." "What the heck! You refused to cto Hogria with me, but you took Seraphina on a trip? Seriously? You abandoned your buddy for a girl." Lucius yelled loudly, "But wait! You're with Seraphina, so why is Wilson with you too? That's weird, man! I really don't get it!" Orion was about to hang up; he froze for a second at this point. His expression turned cold and sinister in an instant. "How do you know that?" This trip had been a secret and barely anyone knew. Wilson certainly wouldn't go around broadcasting his whereabouts. "Everyone knows! Seraphina posted a picture of her and Wilson, didn't you see?" Lucius paused at this point and spoke in a low voice, "Oh wait, I forgot. She blocked you, didn't she?" Orion's expression grew darker.
"What photo?" Lucius pursed his lips as he sharply sensed the shift in Orion's mood. He no longer found it amusing.

His voice grew softer and softer. Even over the phone, Lucius could feel the overwhelming coldness coming from Orion.
Orion's fingers twitched as he said, "Sendthe photo" "Oh. Uhm, sure, right away...
10 Before Lucius could finish, Orion had already hung up.
Moments later, the photo appeared on Orion's phone.
As soon as he saw it, his expression darkened, and his eyes gradually beceven colder.
In the midst of a soft, misty rain, the photo showed two stunningly good-looking people, their smiles radiant and perfectly in sync.
Their eyes met in a way that didn't lie-there was a deep familiarity there, tinged with a sense of regret, as though they wished they'd met sooner. When did they get this close? Orion's face grew tense; his expression turned incredibly glum.
After a long time, he moved slightly and called Ken.
"Mr. Orion?" There was a brief silence.
Ken immediately sensed something was off.
Orion finally spoke, his voice colder than ice.
"Ken, I need an explanation." "Mr. Orion, what are you referring to?" "Those two men showed up around Seraphina!" Ken grew panicked-how did his boss learn about Seraphina meeting with Wilson and her advisor? "Haha!" Orion let out a cold chuckle and said no more.
It was clear-this was Ken's last chance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKen gritted his teeth and explained, "Yes, well, there was an unexpected situation. But I looked into it. That unfamiliar man is Seraphina's academic advisor, and he's gay!" Orion's gaze deepened slightly. Haha, turned out there was an unexpected discovery? 2/3 Chapter 323 1 Need an Explanation "He had a boyfriend, but he passed away a few years ago." +5 Pearls
Ken hurriedly explained. It wasn't difficult to find out about Pierre's past since many at the school had heard the story. Orion's voice remained cold and indifferent, a chilling calm in its tone.
"And the other one?"
"Mr. Rockwell, he... he might have just bumped into them by chance. Rest assured, Mr. Orion; I have been closely eveling Ms Cross. She up Mr. Rockwell's late wife, which likely led to an unpleasant conversation." Ken continued, sharing his thoughts and explanations. Orion's temper started to calm down, but his patience reached its limit. "Alright, just protect Seraphina well." "Of course, you can count on me!" "And make sure she returns soon."
After Orion hung up the phone, he continued to feel feel uneasy.
uneasy. He opened Seraphina@chat page and clicked on it.
It was blank.
She hadn't blocked him-just restricted his access.
Which meant he couldn't see anything.
A suffocating weight was pressing against his chest. He felt stifled and agitated.
