This tremendous good news must be shared with the old lady. Old lady, look quickly, heaven has opened its eyes; the young master has finally come to his senses! Julian Rathborne looked at Seraphina Linden, "So what do you want to do next?" "Next..." Seraphina Linden tilted her head slightly, "How about this, let’s make a deal, there’s no way I can come up with that 10.1 billion, so why don’t I spend the night with you to pay it off!" The curve of Julian Rathborne’s lips quickly stiffened, his handsome eyebrows and eyes became cold, "So that’s what you’ve been aiming for all along, to sleep with me for a night to offset the 10.1 billion?" "Yes, Mr. Rathborne has been pestering me , isn’t that what you mean? Besides... Mr. Rathborne’s skills are still pretty good, our first time was very pleasant, we can be happy again." As she spoke, Seraphina Linden looked puzzled at Julian Rathborne’s increasingly unsightly expression, "Mr. Rathborne, what’s wrong with you, are you angry?" Julian Rathborne had long realized that this woman was heartless, but he actually had expectations for her just now, which made him feel ridiculous. "Seraphina Linden, didn’t you say we were one-time flings? You have interest in recycling and reusing, I don’t. Want to climb into my bed again, sleep with me once more, I think you’re simply dreaming, stop wishing for it!" Saying this, Julian Rathborne withdrew his hand and stood upright. Seraphina Linden, "..." Julian Rathborne didn’t want to look at this woman for another second, because she only made him angry, so he strode into The Crawford Group lobby. Seraphina Linden quickly snapped back to reality and chased after him, "Mr. Rathborne, wait for me!" Soon, the security guards inside stopped Seraphina Linden, "Ma’am, do you have an invitation?" Seraphina Linden shook her head, "No." "I’m sorry, but without an invitation, you cannot go in." "But, but he doesn’t have an invitation either, why did you let him in?" Seraphina Linden pointed at Julian Rathborne with her gaze in front. "Ma’am, that gentleman is Mr. Rathborne; no event Mr. Rathborne wants to attend is off-limits to him, including The Crawford Group events." Alright, Julian Rathborne is quite impressive. Seraphina Linden playfully winked, "Well, it just so happens that Mr. Rathborne and I have known each other for many years as old friends, let me in too." The security looked a little awkwardly towards Julian Rathborne ahead. At this moment, Julian Rathborne stopped his steps, turned around, and his fierce eyes glanced at Seraphina Linden. The security approached to ask, "Mr. Rathborne, this lady says she’s an old friend of yours and wants to come in together." Julian Rathborne stood tall and graceful like jade, elegant and noble, he looked down at Seraphina Linden, "I don’t know her, throw her out." He not only said he didn’t know her, but he also wants her thrown out? Seraphina Linden felt that her grudge with Julian Rathborne was officially sealed; originally, it was just a fleeting memory more than twenty years ago, and everyone parted ways amicably, why does he always target her and cause trouble? "Ma’am, Mr. Rathborne says he doesn’t know you, please leave immediately, otherwise I will have you thrown out," warned the security guard. Seraphina Linden got angry, very angry, "I’m not leaving, go in and ask your president, I’m your president’s mother-in-law, once he knows, he’ll definitely come personally to greet me." The security looked at Seraphina Linden, thinking this woman must be crazy, "Ma’am, please stop pretending to be relatives, if you are our president’s mother-in-law, I might as well be our president’s long-lost brother. Stop deliberately causing trouble, just go." The security walked up wanting to chase Seraphina Linden away. Seraphina Linden felt pretty embarrassed, she looked up at Julian Rathborne, who was standing there, calmly watching her current embarrassed state, seemingly a bit gloating, this woman finally suffered. Seraphina Linden, "..." At this moment, a deep magnetic voice sounded, "What are you guys causing here?" Seraphina Linden looked up and her son-in-law arrived, Hayden Crawford appeared. The big boss showed up, the security immediately ran to Hayden Crawford and respectfully reported, "President, this lady is causing trouble here without an invitation, and she falsely claims to be your... mother-in-law." Hayden Crawford arrived. Seraphina Linden’s eyes fell onto Hayden Crawford, taking a good look at him, she quickly concluded that her daughter’s taste was like hers, not bad at all. "You are Hayden Crawford?" Seraphina Linden asked with a hooked lip. The security felt this woman was pretty crazy, the president’s name isn’t something just anyone can call recklessly. At this moment, an unexpected situation happened, a gust of wind swept past, and Hayden Crawford had already strode over to Seraphina Linden’s side. The security saw their usually icy, high-profile president put on a smile, with a hint of humility and flattery as he spoke, "Aunt, how come you’re here! You should’ve called me in advance, I could’ve come down to greet you." The security was stunned on the spot, jaw dropping in shock, is this still their president, how did this suddenly have the vibes of... a shoe polisher? Could it be, this woman is truly the president’s mother-in-law? Even the president can’t escape the fate of flattering his mother-in-law? At this moment, Seraphina Linden looked up and cast a glance at the security. The security broke out in a cold sweat, he recalled his audacious words earlier, claiming to be the president’s long-lost brother, how did he not bite his tongue? The security was very afraid Seraphina Linden would complain. Seraphina Linden quickly retracted her gaze, she certainly wouldn’t bother with a small security, she was in a good mood looking at Hayden Crawford, "I meant to surprise you, how’s this surprise?" "Very good, very good, aunt, please, let’s head upstairs." Under Hayden Crawford’s personal escort, Seraphina Linden went ahead unimpeded all the way and came to the side of Julian Rathborne at this moment, Seraphina Linden suddenly stopped her steps, "Hayden Crawford, who is this sir boasting such grand gestures, I wonder who he is?" Seraphina Linden fluttered her watery eyes and feigned confusion as she looked at Hayden Crawford. Hayden Crawford had already sensed something must have happened between the old dad-in-law and mother-in-law, standing up straight to show his position and loyalty, "Aunt, I also don’t know who this is, I’m not familiar with him!" Julian Rathborne looked at Hayden Crawford and directly gave him a roll of the eyes, the little brat has forgotten his dad with the mom! "Mm." Seraphina Linden was very satisfied with her son-in-law’s level of awareness, she nodded, "I also don’t know this gentleman, but this gentleman’s resentment is really huge, like a... neglected husband from a deep boudoir, one might mistakenly think I abandoned him years ago, let’s go." Hayden Crawford quickly pressed the VIP elevator button, Seraphina Linden and he disappeared from sight together. Deep boudoir’s neglected husband, Julian Rathborne, "..."
