Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 I Chose You
Although Cross Group and Dros Group were the strongest among them, it was rare for a project to have a partner chosen before it had even fully matured.
Even at this private banquet, all they wanted was to get a feel for Wilson’s attitude. Even a vague response would be better than making a rushed decision.
Once the word spread, all future resources would be directed toward Cross Group.
Wilson smiled, his voice steady and confident, leaving no room for doubt.
“Yes. For me, as long as Ms. Seraphina wants it, she’s always the first choice. She will forever have the right to be the top priority.”
That declaration had the effect of dropping a bomb.
The people in their vicinity fell silent.
They were secretly glancing at Orion, who was now surrounded by an aura of cold fury.
His face darkened immediately with the statement. He lost the calm composure he had maintained
moments ago. His expression tensed, and his gaze pierced toward Wilson, carrying the bone-chilling cold of winter.
At that moment, Orion panicked.
Before this, they clearly had no relationship. Why was Wilson treating Seraphina so differently?
Why was he so casually handing over such a major project?
It wasn’t the project’s loss that bothered him; Dros Group’s various businesses stretched across industries. This project, although significant, was just a drop in the ocean for him.
He would rather forgo the partnership than hear Wilson speak of Seraphina with such intent.
Seraphina was momentarily taken aback, too. She felt as if she were dreaming.
Wilson wasn’t joking-not in the slightest.
Why?
Her mind was filled with questions.
Outwardly, she remained calm and showed no sign of being shaken.
Could it be due to little Dani?
Wilson wrapped things up with a few brief remarks. Soon after, the guests began to take their leave.
The event had come to a close in a simple and shocking manner.
Now, only Seraphina and Orion remained.

Wilson glanced at the two of them and smiled.

“Ms. Cross, I’m sure you have many questions. As for this project, I wasn’t just speaking off the cuff. I’ll have my team follow up with Cross Group.”
“I don’t understand. Why did you choose Cross Group Seraphina asked directly.
The staff she previously sent to meet with Wilson had all been turned away.
Why had he suddenly agreed?
Wilson paused and pondered for a moment.
“I didn’t choose Cross Group, I chose you.”
His gaze fell on her, filled with undisguised admiration and warmth.
That warmth was pure, untainted by any interests or calculations.
Seraphina froze. She asked, “Is it because I saved Dani at the amusement park?”
She couldn’t think k of any other
connection.
Wilson chuckled and said. “Of course not.”
That clever little one would never allow himself to be in real danger.
Orion looked at Wilson with suppressed emotions in his eyes, and nothing but coldness remained.
His voice was hoarse and low. Orion asked, “T’d like to know too, Mr. Rockwell. Why is Seraphina receiving such special treatment?”
Wilson paused again, giving Orion a complicated look
“I thought you of all people would understand, Mr. Dros.”
Orion frowned and pressed, “Understand what?”
“Originally, this project was meant for your company, but Ms. Cross appeared, and she is a better fit.
As Wilson spoke, he stood up and called for his bodyguard. After a few words, the bodyguard hurriedly left.
“Please wait a moment. Wilson said with a smile.
Soon after, the bodyguard returned with a photo album, which he handed to Wilson with both hands. Seraphina and Orion were both perplexed. What was this about?
Wilson slowly opened the album and took out two photos. He handed one to Seraphina and the other to
Orion.
