Chapter 500 A Despicable Man 

“I understand that Justin was the one who ordered the suppression of the morning’s news. At the time, I was slow to react, thinking it was just a trivial scandal. But by the afternoon, my market analyst informed me that someone had paid that woman to expose me online. She was instructed to stir up trouble to force me out of Ascotia.” 

Wilson watched as Emeris and Justin’s expression turned livid with anger, but he found no satisfaction in it. 

He couldn’t believe that Orion wouldn’t stoop so low as to use Seraphina as a shield. 

But with the evidence in front of him, he had no choice but to accept 

Could Orion truly be so vile? 

If that were the case, he had clearly overestimated him before. 

1. it. 

Before Justin could start cursing, Emeris, frowning, spoke up: “The moment Seraphina got dragged into this, we immediately started investigating and suppressing it. Your influence in Eldoria isn’t as deep as ours. How can you be so sure that this will blow over by tomorrow morning?” 

As a seasoned businessman, especially one as cunning as Emeris, he never stopped questioning every possible angle. 

Given Orion’s usual attitude toward Seraphina, would he do something like this? 

Emeris couldn’t shake the suspicion that Wilson might be lying. 

However, Wilson’s expression remained steady and sincere, without a hint of anger or defensiveness. 

“I admit that my resources in Eldoria are limited, but I do have connections abroad. One of the major shareholders in Frencette’s media is someone I’m close with, and it was him who informed me of this. Dros Group may have tried to silence the news, but they couldn’t completely control their own insiders.” 

Emeris‘ face darkened further. 

“Son of a b*tch!” 

Wilson lowered his gaze calmly and continued, “I’ve already spoken with the upper management of the platform. This issue isn’t just about me; it also concerns the reputation of the Cross Group. After ten tonight, traffic to the story will be throttled; it will be gone by tomorrow.” 

He should have acted sooner, avoiding this second wave of media frenzy. 

This time, it wasn’t just Wilson who would suffer; the stakes were much higher. 

Emeris’s expression turned even grimmer. Initially shocked, Justin now silently wore a tense, heavy look. 

They had all overestimated Orion’s integrity. 

Then again, considering the harm he had once inflicted on Seraphina, what decency could they have expected from him?

unease. 

He pressed his lips together and said earnestly, “Seraphina, I sincerely apologize for what happened today.” 

Seraphina smiled lightly and said, “It has nothing to do with you. You’re a victim too. There’s no need to apologize. 

“The rumors online aren’t true. I don’t even know that woman. Everything she said was a lie. Only my words are true,” Wilson paused, perhaps realizing how arrogant he sounded, and added, “If you don’t believe me, you can investigate. The truth will always come to light.” 

Dani was certainly not his child. 

He had only ever confided in her. 

So, all he needed was for Seraphina to believe in his innocence. 

He had been wanting to explain for a long time; no matter how ugly the rumors became online, he could ignore them.
