Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Orion’s Gesture of Goodwill 

Brad disregarded the pain in his body as he scrambled on all fours to Orion’s feet. 

With a mixture of reverence and anxiety, he exclaimed, “Mr. Dros, is that really you?” 

This couldn’t be right! 

Orion was known to dislike Seraphina. 

Why would he be defending her? 

Not wasting any more time on idle thoughts, he quickly attempted to clarify his position.

Brad said. “Mr. Dros, there’s been a misunderstanding! I was just trying to teach this woman, who doesn’t know a place, a lesson. She’s been spreading malicious rumours about you online on multiple occasions. It’s infuriating! 

“You’re a magnanimous person who can overlook these things, but as your friends, we can’t stand by and watch her slander you! We had to make her understand the gravity of her actions.” 

He was doing this for Orion’s benefit. 

Before he could finish, Orion’s foot struck his chest once more, leaving Brad pale and writhing in pain. 

Orion’s eyes were cold, and his face was impassive. He asked, “Who do you think you are?” 

When Lucius heard this, he immediately ran over to Seraphina to clear Orion’s name. 

“We aren’t friends. Orion doesn’t even know him. This has nothing to do with us. He acted on his own. Seraphina, please don’t misunderstand.” 

Lucius understood that Orion had no intention of antagonising Seraphina. 

Whether it was for personal reasons or family interests, Orion needed to maintain a good relationship 

with her. 

Therefore, Lucius had to clarify this misunderstanding on Orion’s behalf. 

“Not just anyone can call themselves Orion’s friend. This guy is shameless!” 

Amid the onlookers, Seraphina suddenly laughed upon hearing Lucius’s explanation. 

“No need to explain. His friends have caused me trouble more than once. You did the same to me before.” 

So, what use were these explanations to her? 

Did they think a few words could clear their names and earn her gratitude? 

Seraphina wasn’t a fool. How could she believe their good intentions? 

Seeing her reaction, Lucius felt guilty and fell silent. He couldn’t counter her claims. 

Indeed, as Orion’s friend, he had given Seraphina a hard time during Orion’s marriage.

However, his tactics were much more clever than this guy’s. 

He really had no qualification or standing to counter Seraphina’s words. 

This woman was ruthless!

Lucius instinctively turned his head to glance at Orion, who stood in front of him with his back straight. 

He stood with his back straight, fists clenched, and veins bulging. 

Clearly, this situation was difficult for Orion to bear. 

Brad writhed on the ground in pain. His complexion was pale. 

He insisted. “Mr. Dros, I was genuinely thinking of you! I didn’t know you still had feelings for this woman. If I had known: I wouldn’t have dared to do this.” 

He assumed Orion might still have feelings for her; otherwise, why would he intervene? 

Had he known this earlier, he would have rather bashed his head against a wall than get involved with that 

woman! 

Lucius couldn’t help but chide, “Shut up! Do you have any right to speak here? When did you get to call the shot for Orion’s business? Are you looking to ruin your life?” 

How clueless! 

Seraphina let out a snort of laughter. Today’s drama was truly spectacular! 

But she had no desire to stay and watch any longer. 

Every extra second she spent here felt like a waste of life. 

Turning to Olivia, she said, “Let’s move to another place. Seeing unpleasant people spoils my mood.”
