Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion)

Chapter 140 It's Not Just About the Brooch Anymore

Orion remained silent, his face cold, and his eyes evidently disgusted.

If Ken couldn't tell his boss was in a foul mood, he'd have wasted all his years in this field..

Sensing the tension, Ken quickly suggested, "Mr. Dros, how about we switch seats?"

Without a word, Orion stood up, Ken swiftly moved aside to take his place.

The assistant braced himself against Jane's piercingly resentful gaze. Just then, Seraphina's phone buzzed with a text message from Sarah.

"Is that Jane Wheeler, the woman next to Orion?"

Seraphina frowned slightly at the name and replied, "I can't tell."

She had to think for a moment before recalling who Jane was,

Jane had once declared she would pursue Orion. With a father who was a Winterwood mogul, she could have anything she wanted.

Jane believed Orion's rejection was due to her looks, so she went to Keglaidan for plastic surgery.

"Rumour has it, she spent millions on the surgery, but the results were just so-so...Sarah sent an emoji of

disdain.

Seraphina chuckled, dismissing it as irrelevant to herself and too trivial to care about.

As she lifted her head, the auction began.

Most items didn't catch her interest, but she was inexplicably drawn to a brooch.

When the bidding for the brooch started at 30 thousand, it was already a high price for its value.

Albert, without hesitation, raised his paddle.

""37 thousand-"

*45 thousand-"

The bidding continued until it reached 90 thousand and people were still calling out prices.

Albert began to waver.

For an actor who had recently found fame, the price was already

sleep.

Seraphina thought about how he had accompanied her to this dull auction and decided she should show some appreciation... Without hesitation, she raised her paddle.

"100 thousand-

After seeing Seraphina bid, the previous bidder backed off, not wanting to compete.

Jane, however, raised her paddle and said, "101 thousand-"

Excitedly, she turned to Orion and said, "Orion. I'll gift this to you....

Orion remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard her.

Jane wasn't discouraged and saw this as a perfect opportunity to win against Seraphina.

Seraphina was close enough to hear everything clearly

Haha, does Jane misunderstand her own worth?

Dare to compete with her?

*150 thousand, Seraphina declared.

The whole room was abuzz

This was the highest price for a brooch so far.

+5 Pea

Jane's excitement quickly turned to frustration as she couldn't outbid 150 thousand with her allowance. Her hatred for Seraphina deepened.

Albert, meanwhile, wanted to say something but feared it would seem presumptuous.

As the auctioneer was about to finalise the sale, a deep, resonant voice interrupted, "160 thousand."

It was Orion.

This brooch wasn't worth that much, but he had collected all of Dale's brooches except for this one. Without it, his collection felt incomplete.

For him, this brooch was essential.

Seraphina was interested in a men's brooch, but it was pointless for her.

The crowd sensed an intriguing showdown between the ex-wife and ex-husband, wondering who would.

win.

Seraphina thought for a moment before raising her paddle once more. 170 thousand-"

To them, these numbers were mere digits.

Albert couldn't help but speak up. "Ms. Cross, forget it. That brooch isn't worth this price."

Seraphina smiled at him and said nothing.

Now, it wasn't just about the brooch anymore!
