SWNOVELS Chapter Inhert 170
Chapter 170 A Gift Worth 5 Billion
As everyone gradually finished their congratulations and began to leave, Jennifer and Ken lingered behind, intentionally staying back.
Seraphina, however, showed no interest. She grabbed her bag and was ready to head out.
She hadn't taken more than a few steps before someone grabbed her arm.
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Hansen's smile was charmingly roguish, his eyes twinkling like stars.
Seraphina paused for a moment, then regained her composure.
"Are you waiting for me to congratulate you?"
5 billion!
Had Hansen not done a proper budget assessment beforehand?
Hansen chuckled softly and said, "No need for that. You might want to congratulate yourself instead."
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, puzzled.
Hansen leaned closer and spoke in a low voice.
"Didn't you want that piece of land? Well, it's yours for 4.9 billion."
Seraphina stiffened instantly, making her entire body rigid.
Behind her, Jennifer and Ken, who had followed, were equally stunned, their faces betraying their shock.
Jennifer's face paled as she stepped forward, her brows furrowing, unable to hold back her question. "Hansen, what do you mean by this? Aren't you planning to develop it yourself?" Hai
n turned to her. His smile was relaxed and almost indifferent. He answered nonchalantly, "I'm not interested. I'm gifting it to my little angel."
His smile was affectionate, and he winked at Seraphina.
Jennifer's eyes widened in disbelief.
"You... How could you do this? Are you treating the company's money like a game?"
Her tone was sharp and harsh.
Hansen's expression darkened slightly, his displeasure evident.
The amusement left his eyes as he gave Jennifer a cold glance.
"My family's money isn't anyone else's concern, is it?" He replied icily.
Then he turned to Seraphina, his gaze soft and affectionate.

"Honestly, I'd give it to you for free, but I figured you'd feel guilty. How about you marry me instead? Everything I've built will be yours."
A mere piece of land couldn't compare to Seraphina.
Seraphina hadn't expected Hansen to spend such a fortune for her sake.
Her emotions were a jumble of conflicting feelings.
She could afford the 100 million, but the company's financial decisions weren't to be taken lightly. It wasn't a decision she could make easily.
Yet his actions left her feeling both pressured and touched.
In her hesitation, Jennifer's cold laugh cut through the air.
"So this is how chaotic business has become-mixing personal and professional matters. Do you intend to use the entire family's assets to win a woman's favor?" Her words clearly crossed a line.
Hansen's brow furrowed, his demeanor turning even colder.
He ignored Jennifer's outburst, looking at Seraphina with a half smile.
He said, "As long as it makes her happy, it's all worth it."
Even if it means giving up everything,
He wouldn't hesitate.
With just those words, Jennifer's face turned pale.
His words and his attitude had unknowingly hurt her.
The usually tough and resilient Jennifer inexplicably teared up.
Without saying word, she left the scene.
Hansen truly was devoted to Seraphina.
Seraphina frowned.
""Hansen, you're being ridiculous!"
Hansen shrugged, still smiling. "I don't want the things you like to fall into someone else's hands."
Especially not Orion's.
Seraphina sighed helplessly.
She turned to Thomas and commanded.
"Get the company to transfer 4.9 billion to the Colombo family."

"Yes, ma'am."
Seraphina looked back at Hansen and said, "And the remaining 100 million, I'll pay you personally."
He wasn't Justin, and she didn't have any reason to take advantage of him for 100 million.
Hansen was clearly dissatisfied with this.
"Seraphina, I don't want ...'

"If you don't want it, then you can keep the land for yourself. Let's see whether Walter will skin you alive!"
With that, Seraphina walked away without giving him another glance.
Hansen hesitated, a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes, before quickly catching up to her.
"I did that for you!"
"Get lost!"
At the Dros Group, Orion listened to Ken's report, his face dark with anger.
He wouldn't have minded if Seraphina had won.
It was a fair competition, after all.
He had even considered letting the land go or proposing a three-way partnership.
What infuriated him was that Hansen had won it-only to give it to Seraphina as a gift. What a joke!
And what did that make him?
Was he supposed to look like a petty villain now?
Ken sto by silently, feeling the heavy tension in the air.
Never before has Mr. Dros been so mad over losing a bid.
Mr. Colombo is impressive! He sure had a knack for stirring things up.
"Mr. Dros...

Ken finally spoke up. "Now that someone else had won the bid,"
Orion cut him off coldly.
"Contact Old Mr. Colombo directly and tell him I'm offering 5 billion for that land. Let's see if he's willing to sell."
