Elijah couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like Ms. Donahue has quite the crush on you, Caspian."
Seraphina, upon hearing Elijah's laughter, remained unfazed, her gaze fixed on Isaac. "If you're interested in the business world, |
can get you a spot in the Donahue family enterprise. Perform well, and | could even persuade my father to offer you a share of the
stakes..."
As if to underline her determination, Seraphina added, "The Donahue family might not be among the top tier elites, but we're the
rising stars. Marry me, and you'll be set for life."
Isaac was well aware of the Donahue family's status.
A mere fortune in the billions, and they dare make such bold claims?
"Ms. Donahue, I'm sorry, but my heart belongs to someone else," Isaac stated bluntly.
"You have someone else in mind?" Seraphina panicked. "Is she better than me? Richer than me? | can offer you a lifetof luxury.

She had already lowered her standards, and Caspian's rejection was infuriating.
Isaac found Seraphina's persistence annoying.
"Ms. Donahue, I'm not looking to trade matrimony for favors. Besides, I'm more than capable of ensuring my own well-being."
Frustrated, Seraphina turned to Elijah. "Elijah, he's under your wing, right? He's being disobedient. Fire him, and let him know he's
no longer wee in Craneville, will you?"
Elijah had always been protective of her, granting her every wish.
Surely, a simple request to dismiss an employee would be honored!
However, Elijah chuckled softly, stepping closer to Seraphina with a somber look, a stark departure from his usual demeanor.
"Seraphina, surely you don't think I'd sacrifice my most trusted assistant for the sister of a woman who betrayed me?"
Seraphina was dumbfounded. "Elijah, you—"
"Don't callbrother." Elijah cut her off. "It sickens me. Go back and tell Octavia Donahue that I'm back, and we'll settle our
scores in due time!"
Terrified, Seraphina was quickly escorted away by the servants.
Elijah, now intrigued, turned to Isaac. "So, who's the one you're fond of?"
"Mr. Ulbricht should be well aware," Isaac replied gravely. "She's lost her memory, not her affection for me."
Elijah's smile was enigmatic.
After leaving the dinner party in a hurry, Seraphina scrambled back to the Donahue residence and burst into Octavia's room,
sobbing as she recounted the events.
"Sis, is Elijah planning to retaliate against us? He was so intimidating—"
Octavia, already prepared for bed, helped Seraphina up. "When the Ulbricht family fell, | left Elijah. Our father immediately kicked
him when he was down. It was only a matter of tbefore Elijah sought revenge."

She had chosen wealth andfort over her love for Elijah, fully anticipating his eventual retaliation.
Seraphina trembled. "And Caspian dared to reject me. Can you ask Uncle to sort him out for me?"
Octavia, having made her mark within the Donahue enterprise, knew Elijah—and Caspian—all too well.
"Seraphina, I've indulged your whims far too often," Octavia said with a hint ofplexity. "But Caspian is out of your league."
"Why?" Seraphina couldn't understand. It was just an employee; why couldn't they offend him?
"Caspian is Elijah's right-hand man, instrumental in hiseback. Such a man is not to be trifled with."
If only Seraphina would think before she spoke!
Sadly, beyond her frivolous pursuits, she was clueless.
Disheartened, Seraphina left. Octavia dialed a number on her phone.
No answer. Clearly, he resented her deeply.
Octavia hung up, laid down, but sleep eluded her the entire night.
