Inherit Billions

Chapter 444 A Visit

After cursing under her breath, Seraphina found it impossible to calm the turmoil inside her.

As Sarah scrolled through Facebook, news of the fireworks display flooded the page, making it impossible for her to ignore the supposed private event. "Seraphina, do you think Orion did this on purpose?"

Seraphina glanced at the screen, pressed her lips together, and then picked up her phone. She called Michael, maintaining her composure.

"Get the PR team ready. I don't want tonight's incident to blow up."

Without a doubt, Orion's stunt was more than just a show for her eyes; it was a clear assertion of his authority.

But Seraphina was determined not to let him have his way.

She would suppress this publicity at any cost.

With a scoff, she hung up the phone, only for it to ring again almost immediately. Seeing the caller ID, her irritation flared anew as she climbed the stairs to answer. "Orion, have you lost your mind?" She hissed, trying to keep her voice low. Orion, taken aback by her sudden outburst, experienced a wave of resentment. His voice softened, becoming rich and magnetic, almost beguiling.

"Did you see it? Wasn't it beautiful?"

"I didn't see it, and it wasn't beautiful!" Seraphina snapped, frustration bubbling over.

After a few seconds of silence, Orion replied, "Then I'll have them play it again!" Seraphina's heart jolted at his reaction. "You wouldn't dare!"

Once was already too much.

Orion chuckled softly, "I wouldn't dare. You're in charge here."

His concession struck a chord deep within her, making her heart skip a beat.

Seraphina inhaled sharply, her tone icy. "This fireworks show will only bring overtime pay to your media staff, Orion. Don't think too highly of yourself."

The man on the other end fell silent for several seconds before he sighed heavily.

"I didn't mean to cause trouble. I just wanted to make you happy. Merry Christmas, Seraphina!"

Seraphina paused, taken aback. "If that's all, I'm hanging up."

low and filled with regret.

She scoffed. "You were either on a business trip abroad or vacationing with friends. How could we Celebrate anything?"

He would abandon her during important holidays, leaving her to face the unfriendly Droses alone.

Theresa would complain that Seraphina prevented her son from coming home for the celebration, and the other Droses would further disparage her.

Those moments of endurance and humiliation were memories Seraphina wished to bury forever.

She felt like she was being lowly.

"Seraphina, I want to see you," Orion said softly.

She was speechless. "I don't want to..."

"I'm right outside your house. Can you open the door?"

Orion didn't give her a chance to refuse. He sat in his car, watching the many people in the yard. As the heavy snow fell, fireworks erupted into the sky, vibrant and dazzling. That lively atmosphere didn't belong to him.

Seraphina paused her steps. What day was it today?

Wasn't his family busy with the celebration?

She pressed her lips together and said, "I'm not going to open the door for you. Just go away."

Orion chuckled lightly and restarted the car.

"Too late; someone's already opened it."

Seraphina froze, realizing the call had ended. She rushed downstairs, unwilling to believe that Benjamin would let anyone in without her permission.

In the yard, Justin was playfully hoisting little Dani onto his shoulders while laughter echoed from nearby..

At the entrance, Benjamin looked conflicted as a Bentley slowly rolled up.

A girl rushed over and suddenly flung the door open after a tense standoff.

Benjamin recognized her as Katie, Seraphina's cousin.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Despite being a guest and a relative of the host, Benjamin felt uncomfortable stopping her.

"You can't let anyone in without Mr. or Ms. Cross's permission," he protested.

Katie was filled with excitement. She shrugged off his concern.

Benjamin, that's Orion! We can't mess with him; that man can get to anywhere he wants."
