Inherit Billions Novel by Larissa Pearce

Chapter 13 What’s There to Be Afraid Of

The grand ballroom was exuding luxury and filled with important people from high society.

Seraphina was ready to face Orion, feeling calm and steady in her heart. She had moved on from him a long time ago.

Although everyone knew Orion had an ex-wife, he had never brought her to any fancy event. Even though there were rumours online, people only knew her name.

When huh?

Seraphina saw Jessica by Orion’s side, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly. She’s taken my place so soon,

Sivir noticed Seraphina’s reaction and gently patted her arm. “Don’t worry. I’m here with you.”

Seraphina’s smile grew wider. “I’m not the one who should be worried.”

I have no more fears. What’s there to be afraid of?

I can handle anything now.

Sivir walked up to Orion, both of them radiating authority.

“Mr. Dros, it’s nice to finally meet you.”

“Mr. Cross, the pleasure is mine.”

They shook hands briefly before Orion’s attention shifted to the woman next to Sivir.

She stood there, glowing, her fancy dress highlighting her flawless skin. She looked like a different person, making it hard for Orion to look away.

The dazzling Seraphina in front of him seemed unfamiliar and dangerous, emitting a captivating allure. His eyes showed a mix of emotions as he looked at her

So it really was Sivir. I wasn’t mistaken that day.

Where was she the time she disappeared? Was she with Sivir

What’s their relationship?

His feelings were strange, a brewing anger in his dark eyes that even he couldn’t fully understand.

Jessica noticed the fleeting shock in Orion’s eyes. She bit her lip and spoke sharply.

“Seraphina, what are you doing here? Do you even belong at this event?”

She was reminding Seraphina of her low status.

Orion frowned, about to speak, but Sivir’s cold voice interrupted.

“And which CEO’s daughter might you be, Miss?” His tone was distant and questioning.

Jessica was surprised, trying to recover quickly. “Sir, maybe you don’t know, but Seraphina just divorced

She assumed Seraphina had latched onto some powerful man. Who would want a divorced woman?

Sivir’s attitude was icy. “Who says a divorcee can’t attend this party? Isn’t Mr. Dros here as well?”

Jessica nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her car, looking at Orion for help.

But Orion stood there coldly, not offering any assistance.

Seraphina chuckled softly, a hint of mockery in her smile.

“Whether I can attend and who I’m with is none of your business. You seem to worry about too many things.”

Seeing as she kept picking a fight, Seraphina had no reason to back down anymore.

Despite efforts to suppress Orion and Jessica’s scandal, it was all over the internet, and no one believed their marriage ended peacefully.

With so many people at the party, Seraphina didn’t even glance at Orion.

Sivir’s cold gaze swept over Jessica, with no intention to hide.

“It seems the whole event’s elegance has been ruined by this lady’s presence. Mr. Dros, you should pick your companions more carefully.”

Sivir didn’t waste any more time and led Seraphina away.

Jessica, humiliated by such a high-status figure, bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Orion…” she called out softly, looking pitiful.

Orion watched them leave, his expression cold and serious. He had no time for anything else. How long has it been since the divorce? And that woman is already living freely, ignoring me and turning to another’s embrace?

A few business associates came to greet Orion, so he left Jessica behind and joined the crowd.

By the tall windows overlooking the pool, the moonlight cast a gentle glow on the water. Seraphina sipped. her wine, enjoying the peaceful sight of the moon’s reflection.
