Inherit Billions

Chapter 424 Turmoil

On the same floor, Orion's room was at the end of the ballway.

Today was uncharacteristically quiet.

As Seraphina approached, the door swung open and she walked out before she knocked.

It was Ken.

"Good morning, Ms. Cross," he greeted, a friendly smile on his face.

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, quickly masking her surprise with her usual cool demeanor. ""Morning, Ken."

Ken chuckled lightly and asked, "You didn't drink last night, did you?"

Taken aback by his question, Seraphina replied, "No, I didn't."

He exhaled in relief and added, "That's good. There were hallucinogenic substances extracted from the wine last night." Images flashed through Seraphina's mind, where Alessandra and Nina were knocking on her door in their revealing pajamas.

It seemed that wine was indeed problematic.

Was this really the reason behind it all?

But it was merely Nina trying to take a shortcut using a little trick.

Is it necessary for him to drive both of them away?

What a sensitive man!

The notion of an actress wanting to seduce an investor was neither uncommon nor extraordinary.

Nina was attractive, and she had a good figure; under different circumstances, someone might even welcome the opportunity.

But Orion was different; he wouldn't allow such an affront to occur.

With a legitimate reason at hand, Seraphina couldn't challenge his decision.

This matter was to remain confidential; apart from Michael's incessant speculations, no one else had a clue about what had transpired.

Meanwhile, Alessandra and Nina's agency had formally submitted a withdrawal notice, likely orchestrated. by Orion.

They were now deliberating who could step in to mitigate the losses.

After a long day of shooting, they had replaced two actresses. Fortunately, the replacement of two actresses

Michael had contacted two married actresses. When I learned that Cross Group and Dros Group were funding the project, I quickly agreed to take part. With the replacements secured and scheduled to join the crew in a few days, everyone felt a sense of relief.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Michael planned to shoot other parts for the time being to facilitate post-production editing.

Seraphina returned to her room and tidies up briefly.

After scrolling through her phone for a while, she felt hungry. Michael tagged everyone in the group chat, urging them to gather at the next location. Rolling her eyes, she cursed silently. "Damn it, Michael sure knows how to exploit people!"

She sauntered to the hotel entrance, noticing that everyone was already trickling into their vehicles.

Michael, with his keen sense, was waiting for her at the door.

She rolled her eyes at him as she climbed into the car.

Michael handed her a beautifully prepared sandwich and milk.

Seraphina's expression softened as she accepted the offering, taking a bite and asking, "Didn't this brand require waiting in line to buy?"

Michael grunted in

esponse and said, "Mr. Dros asked me to give this to you."

Seraphina froze for a moment.

How was he aware I loved this restaurant?

Michael couldn't help but express his envy. "Mr. Dros really has a good temperament; he even personally brought you breakfast. I heard he went out to buy it himself!" Seraphina shot him a cold glance.

Realizing he might have overstepped, Michael sheepishly admitted his mistake.

"Actually, last night, Alessandra and Nina came to see me. I told them Mr. Dros was staying in the presidential suite on the top floor."

Seraphina's eyes widened slightly, a chill creeping into her gaze. So that was it.

As she chewed her sandwich slowly, she couldn't suppress a sarcastic laugh.

"You sure are eager, aren't you?"

Was it Michael, the troublemaker, who stirred the pot all along?

He scratched his nose awkwardly and said, "I just wanted to see how he would react. Could those two women get sent away because of this?" Orion's decision didn't even require Michael's consent; he was simply informed afterward. He truly knew nothing of the inner workings.

"How would I know? You can ask him yourself."

Finished

Seraphina smirked coldly. If it weren't for the looming shoot, she might just have tossed Michael into the ocean to teach him a lesson! Michael thought to himself. If I'm so bold, why would I ask you this?

Throughout the ride, he served Seraphina with utmost care, fearful that when Orion called to settle

accounts later, no one would vouch for him.

Fear lingered in his mind at every turn.
