Inherit Billions
Chapter 194 Family Scandal
When Emeris arrived, Flora wouldn’t let the opportunity slip by easily,
She hurried to complain.
“Emeris, your kids are so out of line! Is it difficult to get Grace a job at the company?
Emeris’s mood plummeted upon hearing her words. He couldn’t believe how shameless Flora was
His face darkened as he shot her a stern look, warning without hesitation, “Do you think this is a place for tantrums? Watch your words!”
The moment he spoke, Flora visibly recoiled in fear. Her once–arrogant tone softened immediately. “We’re all family here; why put on airs?”
Sensing the tension, Grace quickly stepped forward, attempting to mediate
“Uncle Emeris, my mom didn’t mean it like that. Please don’t misunderstand”
Flora frowned and was ready to speak. However, Emeris abruptly interrupted her, her voice now icy.
“Family? You think you’re family? You’re just a mistress and an outsider. How dare you try to boss us
around?”
Those words sent Flora spiraling into despair.
He was right.
Back then, Emeris’s father had been so angered by this affair that he suffered a heart attack. He never recovered and passed away shortly after.
Since then, Emeris has distanced himself from Alexander’s affairs.
For a long time, Alexander had been idle. Emeris only allowed him to manage the business in Lacuna out of brotherly pity and because she wanted to provide him with an income.
But back then, it was very clear that Alexander would lose all rights to the Lacuna business if he married
Flora.
For over a decade, Flora had followed Alexander without title or recognition.
In recent years, she’s been attending events under the title of Mrs. Cross, and no one has stopped her.
She thought the Crosses had accepted her.
Emeris’s family was so ruthless! They had never truly regarded her as someone who mattered!
Grace bit her lip, her eyes red with frustration.
Grace didn’t carry the Cross name, and because of this, her status was a world of difference from Seraphina.
It was the difference between a true princess and an imposter.

Chapter 194 Family Scandal
Unwilling to back down, she spoke up.
Finished
“Uncle Emeris, how could you say that? Dad and Mom have been together for over ten years; even if they haven’t gotten married yet, we’re still part of the family You never agreed for them to get married, so why do you now label us as outsiders?
Emeris shot her a frosty glance and reprimanded her sharply. “An elder is talking here, and you dare to interrupt?”
Because of them, his father had nearly died from anger, and Emeris had harbored a deep resentment towards this mother–daughter pair.
Even after his father’s death, he never allowed them to take on the Cross name.
He already couldn’t stand them, and now they dared to act out in front of him? Flora had asked for it!
Her face grew stiff and sour, full of resentment.
She had tried to play the family card but ended up being utterly defeated.
In addition, the servants laughed at them.
She couldn’t bear it anymore, and her anger was flaring
