Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 208

Chapter 208 Jennifer’s Resolution 

The atmosphere instantly darkened. An unspoken danger loomed, something Seraphina could sense without a doubt that, whoever was coming, they had ill intention. 

Running away now wasn’t entirely out of the question. 

If she fled, she would leave this danger lurking in the shadows, and those people would be ready to strike at any moment in the future. 

For today, it would be better to settle things once and for all. 

She was curious to see who had the audacity to make such a bold move against her. 

After a moment’s thought, she clicked her high heels. Then she walked forward, her steps unhurried and calm. 

She stopped a few feet away from the flickering firelight. 

Two burly men stood behind her, blocking any path of escape. 

In the darkness of the night, the person stood in the shadow behind the wall, only faintly visible. Seraphina could barely make out the silhouette, let alone the features. 

In this situation, Seraphina was at a significant disadvantage. 

She could easily catch the smell of the person standing before her–a familiar perfume and the scent of a woman’s cigarette she once favored. 

At the party earlier, there had been only one woman wearing this particular fragrance, which was cold, assertive, and had a steady presence. 

It fit perfectly with that person’s style. 

The person said nothing, and neither did Seraphina. 

She could feel the intense gaze locked on her. 

The atmosphere hung heavy in an eerie silence. 

Seraphina almost became impatient while waiting. Despite this, the person standing across from Seraphina remained silent. 

Were they trying to test her patience? 

The cigarette was nearly burned out. The wind scattered the ash as it fell to the ground. 

As she parted her lips, Seraphina spoke, her tone indifferent. 

“Ms. Perez invited me here. Why the silence?” 

The person across from her was Jennifer. 

A soft laugh escaped the other person.

“You’re quite clever, Ms. Cross. How did you figure it out?”

Seraphina didn’t bother responding. Seraphina rolled her eyes, a gesture that Jennifer probably couldn’t 

see. 

What a waste of her effort! 

The business world hailed the woman as a legend. She was a figure everyone admired for her capability to build an empire. Why is Jennifer now stooping to this? It was clear this wasn’t a spur–of–the–moment decision, nor was it about money.

chase. What do you want?” 

The other woman’s breath hitched slightly; Seraphina could sense the barely restrained anger and coldness beneath her calm exterior. 

From the start, Seraphina’s calm composure was rather surprising. 

She displayed no fear in the face of danger, and her voice, tinged with disdain as she revealed Jennifer’s identity, was filled with contempt. 

Jennifer didn’t bother hiding anymore. She stepped out of the shadowed corner and moved in front of 

Seraphina. 

She faced her squarely, meeting her gaze. 

“Ms. Cross, aren’t you afraid? What’s about to happen next isn’t going to be pleasant.” 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and met her eyes. 

Their gazes locked. 

Suddenly, she laughed. 

Her expression relaxed and slowly parted as she spoke; each word was crisp and clear. 

“It’s because of Hansen, isn’t it?”

The atmosphere around them froze into a dead silence. 

That name was a deep, painful thorn in Jennifer’s heart. 

For ten years, she had held Hansen in a special place in her heart, believing she still had a chance. 

Tonight, when she saw everything Hansen had prepared for Seraphina, she knew her chances were gone. 

That realization drove her insane with jealousy and consumed her with hatred! 

She hadn’t felt this way, even after losing multimillion–dollar deals.
