Inherit Billions

Are You Jealous?

Seraphina seemed to be intentionally provoking Orion. With a playful smile, she linked arms with Hansen and rested her head on his shoulder, nuzzling slightly. "Having many men around me shows my charm. What does this have to do with you? Are you jealous because

Hansen played along. He wrapped his arm around Seraphina's waist and turned to Lucius. He said, "Mr. Brown, you should give it. Seraphina is a woman above your league!"

Lucius nearly choked on his own rage.

Jealous?

Jealous my foot!

"Her? I wouldn't even look at someone like her! Do you have any idea how popular I am with the ladies?!"

Seraphina lazily glanced at her nails and casually remarked, "Honestly, your physique isn't that great. You should go date those tasteless women. I have very high standards for a man's body."

She has the nerve to comment that I'm not in good shape.

work out every day!

Lucius's complexion turned ashen. He was trembling with anger, yet he dared not say a word. She had his naked photos, and he feared if he continued, she might pull them out and start a discussion about his physique with everyone around. He finally realised that Seraphina was threatening him.

Hansen laughed and said, "She always had high standards with men. If Mr. Brown keeps talking, it will spoil Seraphina's appetite!"

The encounter with Orion had already ruined her mood.

Seraphina shot a cold glance at Lucius. She ignored the man beside him and walked straight inside.

Lucius fumed and stomped his feet in rage. He exploded, "That woman is too much! She dares to insult my body. Is there something wrong with my body?"

Orion's expression was exceptionally cold, and he sneered, "Do you think it's great?"

He was annoyed, unable to ask Seraphina out, and plagued by unresolved issues with the smoking pipe, as well as the lingering memory of Seraphina witnessing Lucius streak around. All of that left a gloomy feeling that he couldn't shake off. It was inexplicably frustrating!

Lucius had faced humiliation. Although he didn't understand why Orion was furious with him, he was certain it was definitely because of Seraphina.

He went to find Orion in his office. Lucius caught him pleading with his secretary to reach out to Seraphina, only to face rejection!

The two went out for a meal and saw Seraphina on a date with Colombo. How could Orion feel okay about that?

Are You Jealous?

Suddenly, Lucius remembered something. He hurriedly asked, "I heard your family's heirloom was sold by your mother and sister?" Orion's expression turned colder when he mentioned this. He didn't say anything.

"Who bought it? Can't you just spend more to buy it back?"

Orion gave Lucius a cold look and said, "Seraphina bought it."

Lucius replied, "Oh."

That wouldn't be easy.

Perhaps because they encountered someone they didn't want to see, the meal was joyless. Seraphina had little appetite.

After she had some wine, she planned to go home and rest in the afternoon. She wasn't sure what kind of wine Hansen recommended, but it was sweet on entry, spicy down the throat, and packed a punch. After just one glass, she felt a bit lightheaded. Had Hansen not seemed even more affected, she might have suspected he spiked the drink.

Seraphina touched her forehead. She stood up and called Thomas to send someone to pick her up. Then she planned to go to the restroom to wash her face and sober up.

She wasn't walking very steadily, but she managed to wash her face. After that, she felt a bit more clear- headed. Seraphina thought she shouldn't have come out with Hansen. Remembering the route back, she turned a corner and bumped into someone.

"Sorry."

Looking up, she saw Orion's stern face, his brows tightly knit. She instantly sobbed up and took a step back to maintain distance.

"Mr. Dros?"
