Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Do They Still Have Feelings? 

Early this morning, Mr. Dros received news that the Collinses had declared bankruptcy. The Collinses, who owe millions, hastily fled, leaving their house seized. 

Therefore, acquiring the Collinses‘ estate seems unlikely now. 

Orion frowned deeply, his expression stern. 

No doubt, it was Seraphina’s doing. 

She acted quickly. 

Thinking back to what she said last night, Orion felt a deep discomfort. 

He suppressed his unease; his gaze was cold, and he merely responded with a detached grunt to show he understood. 

When Lucius heard about the Collinses‘ downfall, he was terrified. 

Suddenly, his meal lost its flavour! 

Compared to the Collinses, Seraphina was soft with him. 

If she decided to revisit old grievances, not even Orion might be able to save him! 

Unable to sit still, he gathered his things and rushed to the Cross Group. 

When Seraphina learnt about this, she merely sneered. 

He didn’t bother her at all. 

“Ignore him. Continue with the scheduled meetings.” 

Thomas nodded and said, “Understood, Ms. Cross.” 

She held two impromptu meetings, checked on project progress, and had lunch in the staff cafeteria. 

Her schedule was extremely tight. 

As the end of the workday approached, she finally had a moment to relax. 

Seraphina finally remembered Lucius, 

“Is he still here?” 

Thomas knew exactly who she meant. 

“Yes, Mr. Brown is still in the lounge. He’s had four cups of coffee and ordered a takeout.” 

Seraphina chuckled softly. Lucius certainly was patient. 

“Let him in.”

Chapter 138 Do They Still Have Feelings? 

A moment later, Lucius knocked and entered, holding a wilted bouquet. 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, while Lucius forced a smile. 

“Seraphina, done so soon?” 

He thought he’d be waiting until she wrapped up her work at midnight. 

Seraphina folded her arms, watching him with amusement. 

“Mr. Brown, you’ve been waiting for quite some time.” 

Though she said it, there was no apology in her tone. 

Lucius laughed and said, “Not long at all. My time isn’t valuable.” 

This was probably the beginning.

Lucius knew coming here meant facing Seraphina’s torment. As long as she was no longer mad at him, it would be worth it. 

“Mr. Brown, what do you want?” 

Seraphina took a sip of her coffee, its rich aroma filling the room. 

But after four cups, Lucius found the smell nauseating. 

He had to endure it!. 

Lucius wore a solemn demeanour, carefully choosing his words. 

“I thought about what happened yesterday. As Orion’s friend, I was very unfriendly to you before. I feel remorseful and regretful, so I’m here to formally apologise.” 

Seraphina eyed him sceptically. 

“Aren’t you here because you’re afraid after hearing about the Collinses‘ consequences?” 

This woman was blunt. She saw right through him, leaving no room for pretence! 

Lucius’s expression stiffened, followed by a smile and an admission. 

Indeed, Jessica had deceived us all. Last night, I had a drink with Orion, and we were all a mess. 

When we reflected on the past, everyone expressed regret. We were blind back then. 

“Seraphina, given our sincerity, can we move past this? 

He smiled fawningly, not at all like the arrogant, rich heir he once was. Who would’ve thought he’d sce such a day? 

Seraphina’s eyes sparkled as she shook her head and smiled. 

I refused!
