Inherit Billions

Chapter 533 I Can Have an Entire Forest

Seraphina and Sarah climbed the stairs together, slipping into their usual nighttime routine of applying face masks and tending to their skin.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

They stretched out on the warm balcony, but Sarah's phone buzzed twice in quick succession.

Her expression soured, and with a frustrated mutter, she silenced it.

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"

"It's Bruce," Sarah grumbled. "He keeps asking me for money, and now he's waiting outside my house....

Seraphina's eyes widened in surprise. "Money?"

Sarah sighed, adjusting the mask on her face.

"He's got this massive fine he can't pay, and he's out of options. He begged me for help, so I gave him some cash. However, instead of using the money for the fine, he used it to buy weed. I can't believe how reckless he is." Seraphina stared at her, speechless. "And what happened then?"

"I caught him red-handed," Sarah scoffed. "I called the cops, and he ended up in jail for a few days. And now, he's back again, asking me for more money." Seraphina clicked her tongue. "So, you came here to get away?"

Sarah rolled her eyes. "Yeah, Justin practically begged me to stay. I'm just here for a few days to get away from him before he does something even more stupid." Seraphina nodded. "Stay as long as you need. I'm not going anywhere, and it'll be nice to have some company."

Sarah didn't reply, letting out another heavy sigh.

"Why did I ever get involved with him?" she muttered. "He's nothing but trouble."

On the outside, Bruce had always seemed serious, but behind the scenes, he was nothing more than a disaster. Seraphina shrugged. "At least you got out before things went too far. If you hadn't, you'd be stuck with him forever." Sarah sighed again, pondering how quickly people's true colors could surface and how fragile relationships really were. She'd known Bruce for about six years, and she never imagined he could be so morally corrupt.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.

"What about Orion and William? Th

both seem great Which one do you like more?"

Her question was too direct.

Seraphina took a moment to process the question.

"Why does it matter?" she replied, trying to keep her tone neutral.

"You're going to have to pick one eventually, right? You can't stay single forever."

If Sarah had glanced at her then, she would have seen Seraphina roll her eyes, her gaze almost boring a hole in the back of her head.

"No," she finally answered. "I've made my choice. I don't need Orion. I can have an entire forest, not just

one tree."

The words hung in the air between them, leaving an uneasy silence.

Sarah wasn't sure how to respond. In just a year, Seraphina had changed so much.

"I think William might be interested in you. Have you spent any time with him?" Sarah asked, her voice quieter.

Seraphina thought for a moment, then shook her head

"William appears to be a decent and dependable person, but I'm not sure I completely trust him. Though, I do like his son!"

Her mind wandered briefly to Dani, that little troublemaker. She wondered if he'd caused any new problems recently.

Once their masks were finished, both women retired to bed as they were too tired to stay awake.

A few days later, Seraphina was walking on her own, no cane needed.

There were still a few minor issues with the project in the Eldoria Bay, but nothing major enough to slow things down, and Joseph was on top of everything.

One morning, while planning a visit to the company, she received a message from Lila.

"The first season has wrapped up perfectly. Ms. Cross, would you like to join us for the celebration party?"

Lila's invitation was warm, and Seraphina couldn't really decline.

After all, she had invested time, money, and connections into Lila's law firm. Not attending might stir up

some rumors.

She quickly replied, "Sure."

After being cooped up for so long, a chance to unwind at an event like this sounded just what she needed. Lila wasted no time sending over the event details-time and location. It was taking place at a hotel close to the set. It wasn't far, so Seraphina directed her driver to make a U-turn and head to the venue.

As soon as she stepped out of the car, her eyes locked onto a familiar figure nearby. He had just wrapped up a meeting, exchanging pleasantries and shaking hands.

By chance, it turned out to be none other than William...
