Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 Her Birthday 

“What?” Seraphina was shocked. 

“A warning? How did you warn him? Is Uncle Alexander trying to push someone into the company?” 

Sivir’s lips curled into a cold smile. 

“It’s not that simple. He’s aiming to get into the shareholders‘ meeting. He’s been secretly buying up company shares and reaching out to a large number of shareholders. It looks like he’s got his eye on our 

company.” 

Seraphina’s expression darkened slightly. 

“Flora and Grace visited our home recently. That woman was trying to get Grace a high position in the company, but we turned them down. Could this be part of their inside–outside plan?” 

Sivir scoffed in disdain, his eyes cold and distant. 

“Dream on.” 

“But how did you warn him?” Seraphina was curious about this. 

Sivir smirked. 

“If he’s buying shares, he must have made quite a profit. So, I had the tax officers schedule an audit for his company in Lacuna for tomorrow.” 

Seraphina was left speechless. 

ue 

That move was genius. 

Sivir reached out and tapped her forehead gently. 

“Focus on preparing for your birthday party. It’s a great chance to build business connections.” 

At Dros Group, Lucius ignored Ken’s attempts to stop him and excitedly burst into Orion’s office. 

Orion frowned, his expression cool, as he looked at Lucius. 

He mocked, “I bet you come here more often than you go home.” 

Lucius raised an eyebrow and walked forward with a casual swagger. He waved a pale yellow invitation in 

his hand. 

It was elegant and classy, perfectly matching the status of the Crosses. 

“Seraphina’s birthday is coming up. I figured you hadn’t received an invitation, so I snatched one from a 

friend.” 

Orion’s face instantly darkened, his gaze coldly sweeping over Ken. His assistant immediately lowered his head, avoiding eye contact.

The Cross Group hadn’t sent an invitation. 

Ken stayed silent, nor did he feel embarrassed. 

Orion’s expression became inexplicably grim. 

Seraphina’s birthday? 

He didn’t even know when it was. 

Some husband he was. 

The thought left a heavy feeling in his chest, making it difficult to breathe. 

Lucius walked over and patted his shoulder.

“I thought you’d appreciate it. Why aren’t you happy? You don’t want to go? Well, it’s a shame if you don’t.” 

Ken regretted standing there. 

Is Mr. Brown out of his mind? 

Did he have a death wish by joking around with Mr. Dros like that? 

Suddenly, the temperature in the office seemed to drop to freezing. 

His scalp tingled with fear. 

Orion stared at Lucius until the smile faded from his face. 

The room was silent for a moment before Lucius coughed awkwardly, placing the invitation on the desk 

“Come on, Orion. Without you there to back me up. I’ll be so lonely on my own.” 

He pleaded. Lucius was providing him with a way out and a reason to come. He was a good friend indeed. 

Orion picked up the invitation and checked the date. 

It was the next evening. 

He felt a sense of calm wash over him as he thought about it. 

Orion barely registered what Lucius was saying. He remained silent, immersed in his own thoughts. 

When he snapped back to attention, Lucius carefully observed his despair. 

Orion’s gaze grew colder, his eyes sharper. He spoke in a calm, steady tone.
