Inherit Billions Novel by Larissa Pearce

Chapter 17 Get Them Out of Here

Given Orion’s status, he should marry someone who matched his standing. Women like Seraphina, who married into the Dros family for money, were not suitable. None of his friends could respect her.

Orion felt uncomfortable at Lucius’s casual words.

His expression turned cold, his dark eyes glinting. “Enough. Stop yapping!”

Lucius shrugged. The woman was out of Orion’s life now, so as long as she didn’t cause trouble for him, ft was fine.

Orion stayed silent, his face serious. After he put out his cigarette, the smoke disappeared in the wind.

“How about we get a drink?” Lucius suggested.

Orion agreed. “Let’s go.” He needed to get rid of the irritation bothering him.

After the drama settled, Seraphina became the center of attention at the party. Sivir introduced her as the new vice president of the company.

This fueled more speculation about their relationship, but they ignored the rumours.

Seraphina needed to prove herself in the company. She couldn’t openly declare her status as an heiress: she had to show her skills and connections.

There was some discontent, but no one dared oppose Sivir’s decision.

Sivir appointed his trusted aide, Thomas, as Seraphina’s secretary and personally taught her for two hours every day. Seraphina spent the last two hours of each workday in Sivir’s office.

Watching Seraphina relax in the rocking chair, Sivir joked, “If you keep slacking off, I’ll have Dad teach you e next time.”

Seraphina immediately straightened up. “Please don’t!”

“In a few days, Giant Group is celebrating its anniversary. They have a project up for grabs. You should try for it.

Seraphina was excited. “Sure, I’ll go for it.”

“It won’t be easy. Everyone knows it’s a great opportunity, so it’ll be hard to get it. I’ll be abroad for two days then, but Justin should be back.”

“Justin’s coming back? I’ll pick him up myself.”

Thinking of Justin, whom she hadn’t seen in a while, Seraphina smiled. The last time she saw him was in a drama on TV.

Sivir chuckled and looked at his watch. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to dinner.”

As they entered the restaurant, Seraphina’s expression changed. What a coincidence.

Theresa and Hannah were there too!

“Where’s the manager? Does this restaurant let just anyone in?” Hannah shouted.

Having lost her money at Lacuna, Hannah didn’t know that her theft of family jewellery had made headlines.

Her reputation was ruined, and now, socialites viewed her with disdain.

To think Seraphina, who had been thrown out, was the cause of it all!

Seeing Seraphina in the restaurant made Hannah angry. She had always looked down on Seraphina’s background and had often humiliated her. Now, she demanded to see the manager at the sight of Seraphine.

The manager hurried over, aware that all guests had reservations and could not be offended.

“Ms. Dros, I’m terribly sorry…

Hannah wished she could slap Seraphina in her anger.

“Get her out of here. Her presence is ruining our meal, and we’re VIP customers!”

The manager glanced back, startled. Sivir’s gaze was icy, and the woman beside him smiled calmly. She was stunning, her wavy hair cascading over her ears, her luminous eyes and striking features unaffected by Hannah’s outburst.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

He hurried over, bowing respectfully. “Mr. Cross, your table is ready. Please, take a seat.”

Hannah’s face changed. She eyed Sivir, a hint of admiration in her eyes, but she frowned at his protectiveness of Seraphina. “Hey! Didn’t you hear me? Get them out of here!”
