Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Farce 

The few executives who approached Emeris greeted him with a smile, completely ignoring the noise Flora was making. 

Emeris clinked glasses with them. His demeanor was calm and composed, much like Seraphina, but he didn’t drink. 

He saw everything that had just transpired here with crystal clarity. 

Although they were the hosts, the number of attendees had far exceeded the original invitation list. 

Everyone appeared to be taking advantage of this opportunity to connect with the Crosses and make their presence known among the other guests. 

Many had invited friends or family, despite not being on the official guest list. 

Emeris turned a blind eye to this. He knew it was impossible to engage with everyone. Those who managed to share a drink with him should consider themselves lucky. 

As she observed this, Flora’s expression froze slightly. 

What had she just accused Seraphina of? She was rude. Not drinking? 

Alexander glanced at Seraphina, then at Flora, his expression full of exasperation. 

What’s the point of making a scene now? Couldn’t she see what kind of event this was? 

“Enough,” he muttered, his tone laced with frustration. “Today is Seraphina’s birthday. Why are you making such a fuss?” 

Emeris shot her a cold, commanding glance, his authority unmistakable. 

His voice carried a chilling finality that left no room for objection. 

“Al, take her back. Our family cannot afford this embarrassment.” 

The moment he spoke, both Alexander and Flora froze. 

Flora’s tears were still wet on her cheeks. 

Was she going to be kicked out just like this? 

All the elites in the town showed up at Seraphina’s birthday party to show their support. 

It was such a wonderful opportunity to be in the spotlight. Flora had gone to great lengths to convince Alexander to take her. 

Previously, she had left the Cross Estate in an unpleasant manner and was utterly humiliated. 

She would lose her reputation among the elite if she left midway through this party. 

“Emeris, isn’t this going a bit too far?” Alexander said it awkwardly, looking at his brother.

At Alexander’s words, Flora tugged at his arm in grievance.

“Did you hear that? Emeris doesn’t even consider me part of the family. No wonder his child disrespects me and humilates me at a whim. I’ve wasted so many years with you for nothing.” 

Emeris’s expression darkened with growing disdain. 

Had it not been for the fact that causing a scene would embarrass the family and ruin Seraphina’s party, he might have already exploded. 

Seraphina was standing nearby. She watched the scene unfold with a cold, mocking smile. 

She didn’t care who was around. 

This was her party, and anyone who dared to disrupt it had no place here. 

She spoke icily, “Stop claiming you’re part of the family. We never considered you one of us. My aunt passed away years ago, year we pay our respects to her. Everyone knows you aren’t his mistress.” 

and ever 

Flora’s eyes widened in disbelief.
