Chapter 400 Causing Trouble for Seraphina
Seraphina had the back of her head facing Stefan.
The makeup artist's skills were really impressive.
They made Seraphina's face look a bit slimmer.
Stefan clenched his hand into a fist, pressed it against his thin lips, and coughed lightly, "Seraphina, I'm sorry, my eyes weren't working properly."
The car arrived at the hotel where the business banquet was being held.
A crowd of reporters had gathered at the hotel entrance, with camera flashes going off constantly.
Tonight's business banquet had attracted quite a bit of media attention.
Stefan held Seraphina's hand as they walked toward the hotel entrance.
"Who are those two?" A reporter, seeing that Seraphina and Stefan looked unfamiliar, turned to ask a colleague.
"No idea, but let's take photos anyway."
A financial news reporter nearby kindly shared, "The woman is the new head of Seraphina Enterprises."
As soon as Seraphina and the others entered the lobby, she felt curious eyes from all around.
Seraphina's gaze quickly swept the room.
She saw Demetrius focused in conversation with an elderly man, and also spotted Sloane in a wheelchair near the old man, Mira who ran the Collins Group, Herschel from the Nightingale Group - almost all the powerful figures from the business world had come to this banquet.
As the newly appointed chairman of Seraphina Enterprises, Seraphina's appearance naturally drew quite a bit of attention.
Before long, several business people came up to chat with her.
"Mr. Lane, hello." Seraphina, fortunately having reviewed the materials, greeted him cheerfully at their first meeting.
Blake Lane was quite pleased that Seraphina could greet him accurately. He smiled, "Ms. Penrose is indeed young and promising. I heard you just took office and have already led Seraphina Enterprises in planning many new moves. The younger generation is truly formidable!"
"You're too kind, Mr. Lane," Seraphina responded modestly.
Blake looked at the dignified Stefan beside Seraphina, "And this is?"
Stefan smiled lightly, "Hello, I'm Seraphina's fiancé, from the Hensley family in Majestic City."
Not far away, Sloane heard Stefan's words. She turned her head slightly while sitting in her wheelchair.
From the Hensley family in Majestic City?
It seemed the Hensley family's main business was jewelry, right?
Sloane had a smile on her face, but she felt uncomfortable inside. Someone from the prestigious Hensley family actually went to work at the Robinson Group to spy for Seraphina!
Sloane saw Seraphina and the others chatting warmly with several business people.
And Seraphina seemed to handle it all with ease.
Sloane instantly felt competitive.
Meanwhile, Herschel, having finished talking business with heads of other companies, let his gaze fall on Seraphina, his expression complicated.
Elizabeth's daughter Seraphina didn't look much like Elizabeth.
Thinking of Freya now staying in the hospital, Herschel walked toward Seraphina.
Just as Seraphina finished her conversation with Blake and noticed Herschel approaching, she smiled, "Mr. Nightingale, hello."
Herschel paused, "You should call me uncle."
Seraphina said calmly with a composed smile, "I can't just claim relatives randomly. I'll stick with Mr. Nightingale."
Herschel was stunned for a moment by Seraphina's words, his expression changing slightly. This personality was indeed like Elizabeth's.
He quickly regained his composure, "If possible, have your mother go to the hospital to see Freya."
Herschel believed that Elizabeth had cut ties with the Nightingale family back then because Freya had trusted bad people and let Seraphina be taken away.
Now that Seraphina was alive, Elizabeth should let go of Freya's unintentional mistake from years ago and visit her at the hospital.
Seraphina smiled faintly and didn't respond to Herschel's words.
Elizabeth would never go see Freya.
Today wasn't suitable for discussing family matters, so Herschel just mentioned it briefly before leaving.
Seraphina took Stefan's arm and went to greet Demetrius.
After all, Seraphina Enterprises had a partnership with the Kramer Group.
"Mr. Kramer, hello," Seraphina smiled and took the initiative to greet him.
Demetrius's deep eyes looked at Seraphina and Stefan. He nodded slightly, "Hello."
"Ms. Penrose, hello." Sloane, sitting in her wheelchair, took the initiative to speak to Seraphina with a smile, her voice carrying a hint of gentleness.
"Ms. Johnson, pleased to meet you." Seraphina responded politely.
Sloane nodded gently, her gaze moving from Seraphina's face to Stefan, "Mr. Hensley, I heard after you left the Robinson Group, you're planning to start your own business?"
Stefan smiled lightly, "Not exactly starting a business, just planning to set up a branch office in Border Ridge City."
Sloane nodded, "Congratulations in advance."
Demetrius looked calmly at the somewhat strange atmosphere among the three of them, his expression unreadable.
Everyone present was used to this kind of business small talk.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Seraphina and Stefan went to chat with other people.
Sloane had her assistant push her to a quiet corner, where she took out her phone and sent Jane a message.
[Jane, attending the business banquet tonight, I saw Seraphina and Stefan attending together]
Jane was at a party, with lights flashing outside and music blaring. She was holding a glass of red wine, chatting with several socialites.
Suddenly, the phone in her hand vibrated. She picked it up and saw a text from Sloane.
So Stefan and Seraphina were also attending a business banquet.
Jane frowned slightly at the message.
Jane quickly typed a message, [Find a way to get Stefan to come see you now]
After Jane sent the message.
Jane felt a bit better.
Meanwhile, Grace was leaning against the hospital bed headboard. When she saw the message from Jane, she couldn't help but snort coldly.
Although she had saved Kennedy by accident and had some contact with Stefan, it wasn't enough to make Stefan drop everything for her.
She wasn't stupid.
Grace sneered while hesitating whether to reply to the message.
Grace finally tossed her phone aside, leaned back on the pillow, and closed her eyes to rest.
She didn't plan to reply.
However, Jane at the party didn't receive a reply from Grace. Somewhat annoyed, Jane sent another message.
[Grace, if you don't get Stefan to leave tonight, I'll find two old men to rape you!]
Grace stared intently at this message from Jane, her face instantly turning ugly.
Grace knew Jane was serious.
If Grace didn't obey, Jane would really find two old men to assault Grace.
