Inherit Billions Novel by Larissa Pearce

Chapter 14 Isn’t as Innocent as She Seems

She’s a divorcee, abandoned by a wealthy family. Why is she at this fancy party?

Jessica came over with a dark expression.

“Seraphina…

Seraphina, already noticing Jessica’s approach, stood there. She didn’t expect anyone else to bother her.

She glanced at Jessica, whose face was sweet and innocent at first, but as Jessica got closer, her smile turned. cold as she shed her facade.

“Did you come here to bother Orion? You’re divorced, so just let go. If I were you, I’d stay away and avoid causing trouble.”

Seraphina’s gaze was cool and mocking.

Jessica, everyone knows you’re the third party. How’s that been for you?”

All the gossip online had been thorough investigated, including the one about Jessica’s affair with Orion.

Despite Orion trying to erase some of it, Jessica faced a lot of criticism as the ‘third wheel.

She even had trouble sleeping for a while.

“Seraphina, titles don’t matter; feelings do. Orion and will end up together. Can you say the same?” Jessica scoffed.

“Did you have to sell your blood to get into this party? How else could you be here? Did you rent your dress and jewellery?”

Jessica moved closer, her eyes sharp, until she reached the pool’s edge. With a cold laugh, she said, “Seraphina, you asked for this…

Then Jessica fell backwards into the pool, splashing loudly and attracting everyone’s attention.

People gasped in shock.

Seraphina watched calmly as her eyes darkened, and she was even smirking a bit.

Someone rushed over, brushing past her; needless to say, it was Orion. He frantically pulled Jessica out of the water.

“Orion, don’t blame Seraphina. I came to apologise, but she wouldn’t forgive me. She’s still angry, but I’m sure she didn’t do it on purpose. Jessica cried, clinging to Orion as tears streamed down her face.

Onlookers felt sorry for Jessica and looked at Seraphina with mixed feelings.

Sivir arrived, frowning at the scene. Seraphina stopped him from interfering and whispered something in his ear before he left.

Orion, holding the drenched Jessica, put a coat over her shoulders while looking at Seraphina with cold eyes.

Seraphina met his gaze, a hint of sarcasm in her smile.

“She jumped in herself. Believe it or not.”

Jessica and I are on different levels. Why does she have to fight me for his favour?

Playing along with her drama would be a waste of my time.

As Seraphina turned to leave, Jessica grabbed her arm.

“Seraphina, Orion has done so much for you. Are you still not satisfied? Why can’t you let go even after the divorce? You must’ve gone to great lengths to get into this party just to cause trouble, haven’t you?”

The guests exchanged uneasy glances.

Everyone knew about the Dros family scandal, but no one dared to stir the pot due to the Dros family’s status and just watched on.

Could it be that this ex-wife isn’t as innocent as she seems?
