Chapter 399 Lesson for Henry

"Mr. Dros... where is Ms. Cross? Wasn't she supposed to meet me?"

As soon as Henry uttered those words, he regretted them.

Orion's eyes turned cold and piercing, a dark cloud settling over his gaze. The chill in his stare was unmistakable.

"So, you're eager to see Ms. Cross?"

His voice carried a sharp warning.

Henry felt an instinctive chill run down his spine. He knew that if he dared to misstep with his words, he wouldn't leave this room in one piece. Swallowing hard, he could feel panic and fear creeping into his expression.

"N-no, Mr. Dros, you've misunderstood."

At that moment, Orion stood in a position of power, looking down at him with a commanding presence.

It was a clear demonstration of the vast chasm that existed between them.

No resemblance of features could bridge the gap; in front of Orion, Henry felt as small as an ant.

All those sneaky little thoughts he had harbored were now crushed under Orion's formidable presence.

A substitute?

Did he even have the right to think that way?

"Misunderstood?"

Orion sneered, a chilling smile playing on his lips as he tossed a few papers onto Henry's face, his voice sharp like a demon's.

"You spent over 100,000 on plastic surgery just to imitate me? Henry, do you believe I won't send this cosmetic surgery report out?"

Henry's face drained of color as he stared at Orion in terror.

"Mr. Dros, please don't...

This was his greatest secret, one that couldn't be exposed.

Hadn't he hidden it well enough?

The accident that had disfigured him, the surgeon's suggestion to find a template-he had chosen Orion without hesitation. The foremost financial mogul in the country, no actor could hold a candle to him.

As his career soared, he understood the public's disdain for cosmetic work.

If anyone discovered that he had intentionally transformed himself to look like Orion, his career would be

He ran up to Orion, begging desperately, yet he didn't touch him.

"Mr. Dros, you mustn't let this slip. I'll do anything you want. Ms. Dros... I won't cling on to her anymore. I've finally found success."

Orion's gaze was frigid, laced with mockery as he looked at him.

Henry couldn't be bothered about that; Seraphina was different with him-was it because of his face, or was it because of Orion?

Deep down, he knew she would ultimately give him up.

Orion leaned closer and asked, "Anything I want?"

""Yes, anything!"

Orion chuckled coldly. "Then tell me, how far have you and Seraphina gone?"

All day, he had watched Seraphina and Henry's intimate interactions. Her words clearly indicated that she had a bond with Henry that was anything but ordinary.

Orion needed to know the truth, or he would go mad.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Henry hesitated for a moment, then shook his head vehemently. "N-no, there's nothing going on with us.

In a swift, brutal motion, Orion kicked him squarely in the chest. It was a fierce and unforgiving strike.

He wasn't interested in wasting words, especially not about Seraphina in front of others.

Henry's face turned pale from the pain as he cradled his chest, struggling to recover, feeling as if his ribs had shattered.

"It's true, Mr. Dros! I swear I'm telling the truth. The others in the industry told me that when taking care of a wealthy patron, especially a rich woman, one must be attentive and eager. Whatever she says or does is right, so I just wanted to please her, hoping she would continue to support me."

Orion's expression remained stern. After listening to him, he shot Henry a disdainful glance and turned on his heel, leaving the room. Henry sighed in relief.

He had narrowly escaped disaster.

But in the next instant, someone yanked his hair, pulling him back, and a punch landed squarely on his face.

A flurry of punches and kicks landed on him. He didn't even have the strength to fight back; all he could do was cry and plead for mercy.

"I swear I was telling the truth! Why are you beating me up?" Henry managed to sputter through his tears.

Twenty minutes later, the beating stopped.

One of the bodyguards finally spoke, "I warn you, don't have your eyes on people you shouldn't."

The person he shouldn't be fixating on was Seraphina.
