Chapter 769 Lost a Lot
Seraphina picked up the phone, intending to call her secretary.
She thought about having her secretary come and help her organize things.
But at the moment she was about to make the call, she suddenly realized that she was no longer with Everhart Bank, and it might not be appropriate to use Everhart Bank employees.
So she put the phone down.
And started organizing things herself.
She wasn't sure which items belonged to Atticus.
But she decided to pack everything she saw in front of her.
She began to busy herself.
Dashiell watched her coldly as she bustled around.
He thought that at this rate, Seraphina wouldn't finish packing until tomorrow morning.
He said, "You don't need to pack."
Seraphina was stunned.
So Dashiell wasn't letting her take anything from here.
She knew many of the items here were antiques and extremely valuable.
But ultimately, they were Atticus's private property.
Dashiell was being a bit too domineering.
"I've acquired Everhart Bank, but you can still work here," Dashiell said bluntly.
Seraphina was stunned.
What was going on?
Everhart Bank was no longer owned by the Everhart family, and she could still stay here?
"Consider it as me hiring you," Dashiell explained.
"You're hiring me?" Seraphina found it unbelievable.
Who would want someone like her?
"Yes," Dashiell nodded.
"What would I do?" Seraphina asked, "An employee?"
Starting from an employee?
Alright.
She realized she couldn't accept that.
After all, she was once the daughter of the Everhart family. Even if her position wasn't high before, she was still influential in the company, and no one dared to offend her. If people knew she had nothing now and had to start from the bottom, her pride wouldn't allow it.
"Take my current position," Dashiell said bluntly.
"What?" Seraphina was visibly excited.
The general manager of Everhart Bank?
He must be joking.
Was he really going to let her take such an important position?
Was Dashiell joking with her?
Even if Dashiell let her do it, she wouldn't dare.
"Think about it. The salary and benefits will be the same as mine," Dashiell didn't try to persuade her further.
Seraphina was still in a daze.
Was Dashiell giving her a little benefit after hurting her?
Or was he pitying her?
After all, with the sale of the shares, Everhart Bank had nothing to do with her anymore.
But Dashiell was also raised by Atticus, so he couldn't be completely ruthless.
So he left her a place at Everhart Bank?
After speaking, Dashiell picked up the contract Seraphina had signed and got up to leave.
After he left, Seraphina was alone in the office.
To be honest, she was still a bit dazed.
Was Dashiell really not joking with her?
Could someone like her really take such an important position?
She was so conflicted.
Should she agree or not?
She was still wondering if Dashiell was playing her.
At that moment of utter confusion, the phone suddenly rang.
Seraphina looked at the caller ID and tried to calm herself. "Cecilia."
"Why haven't you contacted me for so long?" Cecilia asked.
Seraphina bit her lip.
She didn't want Cecilia to worry about her.
She knew very well that if she went to Cecilia, she would spill everything.
Cecilia was pregnant now, and she didn't want Cecilia to worry about her.
So Seraphina forced herself not to contact Cecilia.
"What's wrong?" Cecilia asked again.
"Nothing," Seraphina tried to answer calmly, "Just work stress, feeling a bit depressed."
"Aren't you unemployed? How can you have work stress?" Cecilia chuckled.
Seraphina frowned, "How do you know?"
"Dashiell told me."
"So he also told you he acquired Everhart Bank from me?"
"Yes," Cecilia admitted.
"Damn it!" Seraphina was angry, "Doesn't he know you're pregnant? How could he bother you with this?"
"Many things are bothering me, this is just one more."
"Don't worry about me, I've thought it through. I never had the ability to run a business. Letting Dashiell manage Everhart Bank might be better for its development. If it were me, it might go bankrupt in a year or so. Now I still have a large sum of money, why not?" Seraphina said nonchalantly.
"Do you really think that?" Cecilia clearly didn't believe her.
Seraphina pursed her lips, "What else can I think? I can't fight Dashiell."
"If it were Sebastian who acquired Everhart Bank, would you be so calm?"
Seraphina's heart stirred, and she slowly said, "Cecilia, Sebastian is dead."
"I know, I saw the news," Cecilia said bluntly.
"He actually..." Seraphina hesitated.
Maybe there were many things she couldn't say herself.
"I know everything about him," Cecilia said bluntly.
"You know? Did Dashiell tell you?"
"I told him."
"What?" Seraphina was completely stunned. At that moment, she was both furious and angry, "You knew Sebastian had bad intentions towards me?"
"I found out later."
"Later? When?" Seraphina asked.
"When you said I had changed."
"How did you know?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"So you chose to believe Dashiell," Seraphina was very angry.
"It's not about believing him, I just hoped he could help you," Cecilia explained.
"How did he help me?" Seraphina was about to explode, "By taking away my family's property!"
"He had no choice."
"Taking away my property and he had no choice?" Seraphina was very unhappy.
"Alaric made him do it."
"Alaric?" Seraphina was confused again.
She felt like many things were being kept from her.
"Dashiell probably didn't tell you that besides Everhart Bank, our Lockhart Group and the Whitaker Group are also being controlled by Alaric."
"Why?"
"To gain power, to control the economy."
"So he had to take action against us," Seraphina couldn't understand.
"There are many things I don't understand either, but the result is that we are in the same situation."
"Why did Dashiell help Alaric do this? What's their relationship?"
"They are cousins."
"What?"
"Maybe I told you too much today."
"If you don't tell me, my curiosity will kill me!" Seraphina was furious, "So Magnolia is Alaric's aunt and part of the Royal Family of Whitaker?"
"Smart."
"I always thought Magnolia had an unusual aura," Seraphina sighed.
Cecilia really admired Seraphina.
Even though everyone was quite sad now, she was more interested in anecdotes.
"Then I used to say Magnolia was after our family's money..." Seraphina was embarrassed, "How will I face her in the future?"
"Who said you have to face her? Atticus divorced her, and you divorced Dashiell. What do you have to face her for?"
"I feel like I've lost a lot," Seraphina said quietly.
