Chapter 575
Seraphina’s bedroom was a masterclass in cozy minimalism. Unlike the typical
heiress’s room overflowing with priceless antiques and imported luxury goods, Sera prioritized comfort.
Her everyday hair clips, jewelry, and favorite bags were arranged practically. The shelves held affordable figurines, ceramic dolls, and plush toys that she genuinely loved. The bedding was a soft floral print, and her nightstand held nothing but a tissue box and a phone stand. The walls featured a subtle white cloud pattern, matching a pristine white sofa adorned with cute, pastel stickers. A simple water dispenser and a mug sat on the coffee table.
It was perfectly unpretentious.
Mira was admiring the space when Seraphina dropped her bombshell question.
“Mira, did you bag Owen?” Mira was stunned.
“Did I… bag who?” Mira asked, genuinely stunned by the bluntness.
“Owen! Who else? Are you guys dating or what p>
“Dating? He’s my partner and mentor. I’ve told you this p>
Where would she even find the time for romance? Surviving her last year in Melvion had required every ounce of her energy. Between rigorous academics, martial arts training, medical studies, and aggressively expanding her corporate empire, romance was a laughable concept.
If she hadn’t built a fortress of wealth and power, she would have been devoured whole, just like in her past life. One didn’t casually acquire hundreds of millions in market value and decimate giants like Porter Entertainment without ruthless dedication.
And without lethal combat skills, she would have never survived the endless stream of corporate sabotage and assassination attempts.
To Mira, Owen was a steadfast ally and a mentor figure. Nothing more.
“I refuse to believe it,” Seraphina insisted. “Knowing Owen’s ruthless reputation, there is absolutely no way he’s playing the dutiful chauffeur for a simple ‘friend’ visiting her family p>
Seraphina, a wealthy heiress with excellent credentials, knew girls who would kill just to get Owen to look at them.
“It’s really not that deep. He just wanted to come along,” Mira shrugged.
“Fine, keep your secrets. So, when are you heading to campus to register p>
“Tomorrow p>
“Perfect! We’re at the same university. Just crash here tonight, and we’ll go together in the morning p>
Seraphina, who was entering the
Department of Business
Management, had scored high
enough to attend Aethelgard
University alongside Mira
“I can’t. I need to go set up my new place this afternoon p>
“New place? Wait, did Owen buy you a house p>
Mira sighed. “Sera, what is going on in your head? Why does everything have to revolve” round a man?
have my own money. Why would i need him to buy me real estate p>
“You bought a place in Aethelgard? When? Why didn’t anyone tell me p>
“A little while ago. I had my team handle it so I’d have a place near campus p>
“Do you know how insane the
housing market is right next to campus? You’re looking at millions of dollars. You can afford that? Does being a singer really pay that well?
Mira suddenly understood. Her cousin only knew her public persona as a minor celebrity singer.
