Chapter 511 Seeking Peace.
Hannah's legs suddenly gave way, and she nearly collapsed onto the floor.
Her face turned ghostly pale.
It was over. Orion wouldn't let her off the hook.
Her mind was a mess, filled with curses and panic as she rushed to the study to plead with Ramona. "Grandpa!"
Although everything had gone according to her plan, it had all been done with Ramona's approval.
She had personally reached out to the blogger, contacted the media, and spread the rumors.
Ramona had made the necessary calls to the media platforms, pushing the story onto the news.

Now, her heart was racing with fear, like a knife hanging above her head, ready to fall and slice her in t at any moment.
She cried in the study, complaining about the biases she received while abroad and how she was looked down upon. Ramona, hearing her, was somewhat moved.
However, Orion's assistant had come twice a day to deliver contracts, determined to force him to resign and withdraw from the board.
He was already struggling to maintain his own position how could Ramona swallow his pride and beg Orion on Hannah's behalf?
After a moment's hesitation, he decided to reach out to Emeris instead.
If Seraphina could intervene and resolve the situation, wouldn't Hannah be able to avoid any consequences?
With that thought, he dialed Emeris' number.
The phone rang several times before Emeris picked up
"Ramona?"
"Hey Emeris, long time no see. Things are a bit chaotic online lately; it seems like there's been a misunderstanding. How about you come over for dinner tonight, and we can clear everything up in person?"
Ramona couldn't leave the house-if he did, Orion's people would surely be watching him.
So he figured it would be easier to invite Emeris and his family over to the estate.
Emeris chuckled a couple of times, clearly surprised by Ramona's boldness.
They had committed a shady act, yet they expected him to come to them and listen to their explanation?

"I can't. My daughter had a car accident recently and is recovering at home. She can't move around, so I think we'll pass on this one."
Ramona responded quickly. "That's no problem; I'll send a car to pick her up. I'll make sure she doesn't feel the slightest bump!"
Emeris rolled his eyes. It seemed like they didn't care because Seraphina wasn't his own flesh and blood.
Seraphina was injured, yet they were asking her to come out in person? The nerve!
He suppressed his growing anger, his tone turning cold.
"Let's talk over the phone. She doesn't want to leave the house. We've been getting quite a lot of backlash lately, so we're staying in. We can't go out."
Backlash! Wasn't that all Ramona's doing?
Ramona could sense Emeris' growing impatience, but he chuckled and said, "Emeris, the children don't know better." We, the adults, need to mediate things. In the end, it's just kids playing house-it's nothing serious. Once we talk it through, everything will be fine." Emeris snorted, giving a cold laugh.
"Your granddaughter is twenty-five this year, right? Still a child? More like å grown-up baby."
A grown-up baby?
Emeris' words were blunt, but it was clear he was holding back.
If he didn't care about Ramona's status, he would've held a press conference to call them out.
Ramona felt rather awkward for a few seconds before forcing a smile.
He said, "She doesn't know better; I'll make sure to teach her properly. But there's something I still need your help with."
"Help? What can I do?" Emeris asked.
Ramona seemed to ignore Emeris' refusal and pressed on.
"I need Seraphina to post a statement online, saying that this was all a misunderstanding, that we're all friends, and it's been cleared up. She's already forgiven Hannah. It's all Wilson's fault. If it weren't for him, none of this would've involved both our families. Now we should stand united against our common enemy."
Emeris was clearly fed up. He interrupted him.
"Buddy, your granddaughter did some awful things. Seraphina hasn't forgiven her. Seraphina hasn't forgiven her, and she won't be forced to accept an apology. If she's innocent, let her release the evidence online, If not... Emeris trailed off, his voice icy. "Slandering someone's reputation is a criminal offense."
Ramona's complexion turned pale as Emeris's words home. Before he could say anything more, Emeris had already hung up the phone.
