Inherit Billions
Chapter 203 Who Is She?
Hansen emerged anxiously from the side. The sight of Seraphina brought him a sense of relief.
“I thought you were kidnapped. But then again, you’re the one who usually does the kidnapping.”
Especially when it comes to Orion.
Seraphina quickly composed herself and descended the stairs with a calm demeanor.
However, the heaviness in her heart didn’t lift one bit.
When she heard Hansen’s words, she shot him a cold glance.
Her expression was unchanging as she gracefully stepped down in her high heels.
“Seraphina, Mr. Dros … is he okay?”

Grace hurriedly caught up. She bit her lip and asked uneasily. Grace summoned the courage to ask, despite Seraphina’s grim expression.
Seraphina smirked and cast a sidelong glance at Grace
With just one look, she saw through Grace’s thoughts.
If Grace had been more straightforward, Seraphina might have admired her ambition.
She despised her type the most. A woman like her was timid and goody–two shoes.
Seraphina lifted her chin slightly.
Her expression was icy as she pointed towards the room she had just exited.
“If you’re so curious, go see for yourself.”
What she despises, others would eagerly pursue.
However, Seraphina was no longer the person she was three years ago.
She can now hide her feelings flawlessly.
Grace’s face flushed with embarrassment.
“No, that won’t be necessary.”
Hansen frowned as he listened from the sidelines..
He had known the Crosses for a long time, but he had never heard that Seraphina had a cousin.
Surely, all the daughters of the Crosses were expected to be well–known? How could someone like her cousin be unknown?
Without taking into account Grace’s presence, he bluntly asked, “Why does your cousin have the last name Royle? Shouldn’t she have the same last name as you, Cross?”

Grace’s face stiffened slightly, and her eyes filled with hesitation as she looked at Seraphina, fearing what she might say.
Seraphina didn’t even spare her a glance.
Her tone was nonchalant as she replied, “Her mother is with my uncle Alexander.”
She had no intention of elaborating further–after all, family scandals were best kept private.
Hansen merely grunted, not pressing further.
After all, it wasn’t something that particularly interested him.
Grace secretly felt a sense of relief.
She paused her steps, narrowing them slightly.
If only she could take on Alexander’s last name and become a Cross … but no matter how many times she had asked Flora, Alexander had always evaded the question.
Sivir and Justin immediately surrounded Seraphina and Hansen as they reached the bottom of the stairs.
Luckily, the rest of the guests were too busy dancing to notice what was happening.
Hansen’s expression froze slightly. The atmosphere, combined with their momentum, caused his legs to weaken.
Sivir’s cold gaze held an intimidating authority and was laced with a sharp chill.
Justin, though strikingly handsome with finely chiseled features, stood in front of them with a slightly wickedly cold smile.
Seraphina frowned and looked at the duo in confusion.
“What’s going on?”
Justin blocked her path with a serious attitude.
“Don’t worry about it. We just need to have a word with Hansen about what happened earlier.”
Fireworks and roses… There had to be some explanation, after all.
Seraphina looked at her siblings, lost for words.
“Fine, I won’t interfere.”
