Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 He’s Looking for You 

Lucius called Seraphina from his car. 

Seraphina answered with a distinct hint of irritation, sounding as though she had just woken up. 

“Who is it?”

Lucius pressed his lips together and asked, “It’s me, Lucius. Hmm, Orion’s drunk. He’s right outside your house. Can you come out? I’ll leave right after.” 

The line was silent for a few seconds. Seraphina seemed to have woken up completely. 

Her voice was cold and controlled when she finally spoke. “Take him and get lost!” 

Lucius struggled with words. 

“Look, he’s already here. If you don’t come out, I’ll just leave him at the door. If he freezes out here, that’s on you!” 

Without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone and patted his chest in relief. 

These days, he needed courage to talk to her. 

Lucius dragged Orion out of the car and set him down right in front of her door, making sure he was in an obvious spot. 

“Orion, I’m doing this for your own good,” he mumbled nervously. “Don’t come after me for this later!” 

After all, Orion had been the one who insisted on coming here. 

With a shrug, Lucius got back in his car and drove off. 

Seraphina took a few moments to process the call. Then, she rushed to her balcony and saw a car pulling 

away. 

She cursed under her breath. Are they all crazy? 

Everyone in the house was asleep–Emeris and her brothers were oblivious. Seraphina quietly slipped on her shoes and made her way downstairs. 

Outside, she found Orion sitting on the ground, looking utterly defeated. 

She approached him silently, her gaze detached, her voice cold. 

“Orion, addicted to putting on a show, are we?” 

Orion lifted his head. His eyes were bloodshot, his face pale, and he reeked of alcohol. 

Seraphina was taken aback. 

“I’m sorry, Seraphina, Orion said, his voice thick with emotion and eyes turning red. “If I had another chance, I’d love you.”

cold indifference. 

She was about to respond when Orion suddenly collapsed, unconscious. 

Since returning, Seraphina had already been in a foul mood. 

Old wounds had resurfaced, and every scar was a reminder that Orion had caused her pain. 

How could she simply let it go?

She had forgiven him countless times before, but in truth, she had only been forgiving herself for holding onto a one–sided love. 

She didn’t want to keep reliving the past, going over the same tired grievances. It was exhausting. 

Yet she couldn’t deny that in the quiet of the night, the memories still tore at her heart, leaving her in 

agony. 

Did she regret it? 

Of course, she had regretted it for a long time.

Seraphina took a deep breath, her eyes filling with tears she couldn’t control. The dim streetlight cast long shadows, and their overlapping figures felt painfully sharp. 

Had Orion ever been this pitiful? 

If it had been three years ago, and he had gotten this drunk over her, she would’ve woken up smiling. But 

now 

What a shame. 

She wiped away her tears, her voice calm and detached as she stepped closer. 

“Orion, let us call it even. Let’s just pretend we never knew each other.”
