Inherit Billions

A Disheartened Lucius

Seraphina turned around and walked over with a calm demeanor. Then she effortlessly pulled the scarf from the two people's hands.

The stillness in the air was abruptly broken.

"Let's go. Don't waste any more time, she said as she sat in the car, breaking the silence.

Wilson straightened his posture, his gaze cold and firm. "Goodbye, Mr. Orion," he said.

Wilson ignored the suffocating chill emanating from Orion as he glanced at him. Wilson walked around. the car, got in, and started the engine. Orion stood still. His long eyes were sharp and dangerous.

His possessions were being coveted-how could he remain indifferent?

Before long, Ken drove up in another car.

Orion didn't get in immediately. Instead, he calmly asked, "Ken, what events are happening in high society

today?"

If Wilson and Seraphina were attending an event together, it couldn't just be some insignificant party.

There was no way he wouldn't know about it.

After a moment of shock, Ken stammered out, "Today is Mr. Lucius's birthday. You declined his invitation."

Orion frowned at the explanation.

Ken went on. "I've heard that Mr. Lucius invited quite a few elites. He threw a huge party. Maybe you should consider stopping by.

Ken wasn't hopeful. He knew Orion wasn't one to waste time at parties without value.

Surprisingly, Orion hesitated and then replied, "Hmm, go and make arrangements."

Though taken aback, Ken quickly complied. He instructed the driver to prepare the car right away.

Soon, they arrived at a luxurious villa by the sea..

From a distance, one could hear laughter and cheerful voices.

When Lucius heard that Orion had arrived, he excitedly rushed to the door to greet him personally.

The moment Lucius saw Orion, he ran over and embraced him, overwhelmed with emotion,

"Buddy! I knew you'd come. I heard you were sick a few days ago, but here you are at my party despite that! It just shows how important I am to you! We'll be brothers for life!" Lucius's eyes welled with tears, his gratitude beyond words.

It's unnecessary to get emotional in front of everyone, Mr. Lucius. We're all friends here."

Lucius nodded, deeply moved.

Orion's expression remained indifferent as he lifted his eyes to meet Lucius's gaze.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Is Seraphina here?" he asked suddenly, catching Lucius off guard.

For a brief moment, Lucius's expression turned complicated. He asked, "Aren't you here to celebrate my birthday?"

He had sensed the implications behind Orion's question, and the pang of sadness instantly flooded his heart.

"Orion, why are you here?" A surprised voice came from behind Lucius. Seraphina was shocked to see Orion here. Lucius slowly turned around at the sound of her voice.

He had no idea when Seraphina had arrived.

His voice trembled as he looked back at Orion.

"So you really didn't come for me!"

He looked crestfallen, like a jealous wife.

While the two of them spoke, Ken had been scanning the crowd. It didn't take long for him to locate Seraphina.

Without hesitation, he guided Orion toward her direction, chattering as they walked.

"Mr. Lucius, Mr. Orion definitely attended the party for your sake. He made a special effort to wish happy birthday. Bumping into Ms. Cross was just a coincidence... No, kismet!" Ken glanced at Seraphina and corrected himself.

"Yes, definitely a kismet!"

Seraphina rolled her eyes at him as she walked up to them.

"Can you guys be done already?" she sighed.

Were they afraid people wouldn't hear them?

Orion's mood visibly improved the moment he saw Seraphina standing there alone.

The chill in his eyes melted away, replaced by warmth as he gazed at her, unwilling to look away.

"Hmm, kismet," he echoed withra soft smile.

Upon hearing this, Lucius edged closer.

"So, you really came here for me?"

A Disheartened Lucius

Orion didn't even glance at him, merely offering a faint smile.

"What a coincidence, Seraphina. Shall I take you to greet Mr. Crocker?"

Seraphina hesitated for a few seconds but then nodded in agreement. "Sure."

Crocker Group was an established enterprise specializing in iron ore extraction and processing, with several mines under its belt and a massive domestic and international market. Securing a partnership with that company would greatly benefit the Crosses.

Orion smiled. Ken stepped back at just the right moment. He was silently marveling at how Orion always knew how to handle things.

Lucius, however, huffed angrily. He complained, "You didn't come for me!"

With that, he turned and walked away.

Ken shook his head, feeling a bit sorry for Lucius.

Seraphina always held the highest priority on Orion's list, while everyone else was viewed as less significant.
