Inherit Billions

Leaving Wasn’t an Option

Seraphina wore a long, silver-grey gown that billowed like a shooting star with each step she took. Her slender waist was accentuated, making her look tall and radiant. Her slightly wavy hair cascaded down her back, tucking neatly behind her ears, giving her an air of cold, breathtaking elegance.

Lucius murmured, “Just my luck. Can’t even have a drink without running into someone I don’t want to see.”

Olivia and her entourage had also spotted Orion and Lucius. Despite their mutual desire to avoid each other, turning around and leaving wasn’t an option.

“Lucius, did your wife forgive you? You are still in the mood to come out drinking. I guess that photo didn’t hit hard enough.”

Olivia smiled coldly. Lucius refused to admit defeat, glared at the mastermind, Seraphina, and mocked, “I underestimated you, Seraphina. I never expected that you’d be able to approach Sivir. Having connections sure makes a difference, doesn’t it?”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Of course. After relying on her pathetic husband for three years, she needs her friends now that she’s divorced. Didn’t you run to your friends when you had problems, Lucius?” Olivia shot back.

Sarah, who had been trailing behind, bristled at the sight of Orion. “Stop wasting time with them. Let’s go in,” she snapped at Olivia.

Seraphina followed them calmly. Her demeanour was icy as she ignored Lucius and Orion completely, walking past them as if she didn’t know them.

Trailing behind her was a strikingly handsome man who carried her bag. As they passed Orion, he shot him a nasty look, letting out a cold snort before entering.

Lucius was fuming and anxious. How dare Seraphina treat me like this!

“I never realised your ex-wife was so capable! Playing me online all day was one thing, but now she pretends not to notice us!”

Orion’s expression sank slightly. “Enough. Haven’t you caused enough trouble? Maybe you should stay at home and behave.”

Lucius took a big breath. “No way. Why should I go home? I’m going in. I need to see what else they’re up to!”

Despite his resistance, Orion found himself following Lucius inside. He recognised the bag carried by the handsome man; Sivir had held it at a party once. It was Seraphina’s bag.

Sarah eagerly pulled Seraphina up to the second floor. “I’m holding a finale show in a few days. Bring Justin along. I’ve saved seats for both of you.”

Mark, who trailed behind, protested discontentedly, “I’ve been waiting forever for those seats, but you never give me any. I don’t care, I want to sit next to Seraphina.”

“In your dreams!” Sarah shot back, then waved to Hansen, who had arrived earlier.

Seraphina laughed, bursting Mark’s bubble. “You think your dad will let you go for slacking off?”

Mark halted, pouting as he took Seraphina’s arm. “At least, he’ll around…’

“Tsk…”

go easier on me with you

Hansen waved as he approached her, smiling broadly. “Welcome back, My Queen,” he said, giving Seraphina a warm hug.

The Colombo brothers, Hansen and Mark, were strikingly similar. Mark, the younger, possessed a delicate, almost ethereal handsomeness that would make him a coveted star in the entertainment industry.

Meanwhile, Hansen, the older and second in line in the Colombo family, exuded a mature charm that had a trail of admirers, though he spent his days hanging out with them with little commitment.

Seraphina smiled and took a seat nearby. Hansen, previously engaged in a dice game, noticed his opponent still waiting for his move.

He waved dismissively. “I’m done. I’ve found your favourite Monster Band. Enjoy it!”

“You can’t just quit while everyone’s having fun,” his opponent grumbled.

“Hey, Colombo! What a coincidence!”

Lucius and Orion stepped onto the second floor. They spotted Hansen lounging with a glass of red wine in hand, utterly relaxed.
