What truly angered him was the fact that they had ruined his daughter's birthday party. That was unforgivable. No matter how harsh Seraphina's retaliation was, they deserved it.
Flora and Grace were feeling guilty. They realized that staying any longer would only worsen the situation for them. They left in disgrace.
Alexander, too, had no desire to stay any longer. After a brief exchange with Emeris, he walked out of the venue.

By the end of the evening, Seraphina was feeling a bit tired.
She informed Emeris and then started making her way outside.
She had had a bit of wine and wanted to go walking to clear her head.
The events of the evening weighed heavily on her, making her feel restless. Orion's kiss and Hansen's bouquet of roses had both left her feeling unsettled. The night was dark, and the city lights cast long shadows on the pavement.

Street lamps lined the pathway, their light creating a glowing trail on the ground that stretched out before her like a river of stars.

She didn't take these men seriously, but she needed to understand what she was dealing with before deciding on her next move. Was she just unlucky, or was there something more behind this? The two men were clearly taken aback.
How can a wealthy heiress maintain such composure in such challenging situation? She was the first! The threats they had prepared suddenly felt too weak to utter.
"Over there! Someone wants to talk to you." One of the men pointed toward the dark alley.
A small red light flickered on and off-someone was smoking.
Indeed, someone was waiting for her.
