Two people stepped into the studio.

They paused just inside the door, eyes sweeping across the near-empty space with thinly veiled disdain—chins lifted, expressions polished with arrogance.

Seraphina didn't need to turn to know who they were.

Margaret Hawthorne—her adoptive mother.

And Caleb Hawthorne—her so-called brother.

Margaret's gaze landed immediately on Seraphina… then slid to Lucien's arms around her.

Her lips curved into a slow, cruel smile.

"Well," Margaret drawled, clapping once sof

  • I Was Reborn To Marry This Annoying Man?   Chapter 159: Three Seconds To Choose

    After a brief moment of silence—The leader suddenly burst into laughter.Loud.Unrestrained.The rest of the gang followed, laughing just as hard.Iris froze.Confused.The women in the group shook their heads.They had used tricks like that before—But never something this ridiculous.Throwing out names like Aureline Corp?That was too much.—The leader wiped the corner of his eye, still laughing."The Chairman?" he repeated, shaking his head. "Seriously?"Then he leaned forward slightly."Don't you know who I am?"Iris frowned.The leader grinned."I'm Dominic Valemont," he declared proudly. "From San Virex."Then he laughed again.The others joined in.—Iris stiffened."You—"But the leader waved his hand dismissively, still amused."Come on," he said. "Couldn't you come up with something better?"He tilted his head mockingly."Like saying she's part of the Cobra Gang… or Eagle Fighters or something."His grin widened."But Chairman of a business titan?"He scoffed."Do you real

    "Wait."The gang leader spoke, grinning as he slowly stood up from his seat and stepped forward.The others immediately stopped and moved aside, giving him space.He walked with a lazy confidence, eyes fixed on Iris."I like your personality," he said, voice dripping with amusement. "Fiery. Bold."His grin widened, flashing the gold tooth."If you agree to be my woman," he continued, "you'll get to eat chicken noodles every day."Iris blinked."…What?"He didn't stop.His gaze shifted toward Seraphina.Earlier, he had heard Lucien mention "Mom" and "Dad" to her. At first, he thought they might be siblings—but looking at them now, they clearly weren't alike.So—A couple.His favorite kind of situation.Taking someone else's woman.His eyes gleamed.He glanced briefly at Lucien—Then dismissed him almost instantly.'Too small. Too weak.'Not worth his attention.He turned fully toward Seraphina, smiling wider."You," he said, tone softer but no less shameless. "You're quiet… refined… a

    The three of them didn't respond.They simply continued eating—As if nothing had happened.Lucien casually took another bite."The chicken here is really good," he said. "It's not just thrown into the noodles. You can tell it's prepared properly."Iris nodded in agreement."And the vegetables," she added, still eating. "They taste like the chicken too. It's like they were cooked together long enough to absorb everything."Seraphina nodded as well, lifting her noodles."The noodles are handmade," she said calmly. "You can't buy this texture anywhere in the market."They continued talking—Calm.Focused.Completely ignoring the situation around them.—The man who had shouted earlier stood there—Frozen.Stunned.For a moment, he couldn't even process what was happening.Then—His face twisted in anger.He stepped forward and slammed his hand onto their table."Hey! Are you even listen—"He didn't finish.Iris suddenly stood up—Bang!Her fist landed squarely on his face."What the hel

  • I Was Reborn To Marry This Annoying Man?   Chapter 156: Chicken Noodles

    "Here's your chicken noodles."The man carefully placed the tray on their table, three large bowls filled to the brim."Thank you," the three said almost at the same time.The man nodded and left.For a moment—They just stared."Wow…" Iris muttered.Seraphina's eyes slightly widened.Even Lucien quietly inhaled.The bowl wasn't just noodles.It was overflowing—thick slices of tender chicken, fresh vegetables, rich broth, and perfectly cooked noodles hidden beneath it all. The aroma alone was enough to make anyone hungry."…This is generous," Seraphina said."Generous?" Iris repeated. "This is overflowing."Lucien chuckled softly."Try it first."Without further delay, the three picked up their utensils.The first bite—And then—Silence.A brief pause.Followed by—"…Oh my god," Iris whispered.She froze for a second before quickly taking another bite.And another.Her expression changed completely.Her foot started tapping lightly under the table, unable to contain her reaction."Th

    Lucien swallowed."What?" he said, eyeing the strange smiles on their faces.Iris' smile widened."Mr. Cross," she began, folding her hands neatly on the table like an interviewer, "how well do you know Ms. Valeza?"Lucien blinked.'…Hot seat?'He glanced at Seraphina.She looked calm—too calm—but there was a faint hint of warning in her eyes.Lucien smirked."Well…" he leaned back slightly, relaxed. "Ask whatever you want."Iris nodded, satisfied."Alright."She tapped lightly on the table."First question. Favorite food."Lucien didn't even hesitate."Anything spicy," he answered. "The spicier, the better. She won't admit it, but she enjoys food that actually fights back."Iris nodded slowly, impressed.Seraphina looked away, her ears slightly red."Next," Iris continued, "music taste.""Old songs," Lucien replied. "Classic ones. Mixed with pop and… love songs."He glanced at Seraphina briefly."She listens when she's working. Low volume. Same playlist on repeat."Iris's eyes flicke

    After parking in the private lot, the two stepped out of the car and entered the building.Luminaire Crest Holdings stood tall and imposing, its glass exterior reflecting the late afternoon light. The atmosphere inside was efficient—employees moving with purpose, conversations low and professional.Without stopping, Seraphina headed straight for the private elevator, Lucien following beside her.Moments later—They arrived at the top floor.Chairman's Office.Even before they reached the door, a woman was already waiting.She stood with a tablet in hand, posture straight, as if she had been there for quite some time.She wore a fitted navy blazer over a clean white blouse, paired with tailored slacks. Her outfit was simple, professional—elegant without being revealing. Her long hair was neatly tied back, and a pair of thin-framed glasses rested on her nose, giving her a sharp and capable appearance.Her presence alone spoke of discipline and control.This was Iris Calderon.Once Serap

    Seraphina shook her head lightly. "It's nothing."Lucien studied her face. "What is it?""Madel said Clinton was admitted to a mental hospital last night."Lucien's brows drew together. "Why?"She shrugged. "No details. She just said he kept laughing uncontrollably… but his face looked terrified."

    "What happened?" Lucien demanded the moment Irene's voice cracked through the line. "Wasn't she in her office? How could something happen?""I accompanied the Chairman when she went out—" Irene's voice crackled through the line."Send me the location," Lucien cut in sharply. "I'm coming."He ended

    Julian smiled as he stepped forward.He gave Margaret and Caleb a small nod—subtle, approving—like a silent good job. In his mind, the scene had already played out perfectly: public pressure, moral accusation, reputation shaken. The usual.He adjusted his cuffs and turned toward Seraphina, voice ca
