Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 347

Chapter 347 Scandalous Affairs 

In the very next second, Orion forcefully pushed Lucinda off him, as if he were swatting away a piece of trash stuck to his body. His expression of disgust was blatant. 

That she was exposed in front of everyone didn’t bother him. 

He strode towards the reporters, his dark, stormy eyes fixed on them. 

His tone was a mixture of warning and threat. 

“I don’t care who sent you here. If even a single word of one photo from today gets out, you’ll all be out of a job by tomorrow.” 

Instantly, the sound of shutters clicking vanished. 

The room fell completely silent, as if the air itself ceased to breathe. 

The reporters stood frozen, eyes wide with fear, as they stared at Orion. 

His name usually appeared in the business news or was linked to Seraphina from Cross Group. His private life rarely made the headlines, but there were subtle hints that he allowed some rumors to swirl. People had forgotten the incident from years ago, when several media outlets attempted to tarnish his reputation. Within a week, every one of those outlets had gone bankrupt. 

For a time, his name became almost taboo, disappearing from every media outlet. 

And yet here they were, trying to dig up dirt on him? 

Weren’t they bold? 

A cold shiver ran through the reporters‘ bodies as fear invaded every pore. 

Their gazes shifted uneasily to the disheveled woman on the floor–Lucinda. 

It was her. Lucinda had called them here and promised a huge scoop. 

Orion, following their gaze, instantly pieced together what had happened. 

This woman dared to set a trap for him? 

In an instant, his eyes darkened, filled with an icy fury, as a suffocating chill seemed to engulf the room. 

He stood there, radiating an aura of cold menace, his voice cutting through the air like a blade. 

“Get out.” 

The reporters scrambled out in a panic, terrified that if they delayed even a second, they’d be singled out, and they made an example of his wrath. 

As the commotion at the door quieted down, Orion turned his gaze back to Lucinda, who sat trembling on the floor and her face pale. 

Her shoulders were bare, trembling slightly as she appeared fragile and innocent.

Chapter 347 Scandalous Affairs 

Orion had no interest in her pathetic display. All he felt was disgust, disdain, and a cold anger. 

This woman had the audacity to try and manipulate him? 

The door was still open. 

Orion didn’t care in the slightest that Lucinda was still exposed for anyone to see.

It was Lucinda herself who seemed to retreat in embarrassment, pulling her towel around her, her face flushed with discomfort. 

“Mr. Dros, maybe I should… go change,” she stammered, trying to salvage the situation. 

Her plan had failed, and she felt regret sinking in. Lucinda had hoped that this incident would force their relationship into the public eye, making it impossible for him to deny her any longer. 

Then she could be with him openly. 

But who could’ve predicted this? 

Orion’s gaze was sharp and cold as he glanced at her. 

I despise being manipulated.” 

Lucinda’s face turned ghastly pale as she instinctively denied, “It wasn’t me-” 

Orion knew the truth. He turned his gaze away, unwilling to look at her for another second. 

Even looking at her felt like it sullied him. 

“Finding evidence would be easy, but you’re not worth my time.” 

His voice was sharp and intimidating, leaving no room for argument 

“Either get back to where you came from, or I’ll have your father drag you home.” 

Lucinda’s face turned ashen, her heart sinking into despair. 

Orion’s attitude was icy and resolute. There was no way out. 

This was nothing like what she had expected. 

Lucinda couldn’t even put up a defense. Her face reflected her panic, and her eyes welled up with tears that made her look all the more pitiful. 

Her bloodshot eyes locked onto Orion as she trembled, her lips quivering as though she was about to cry. 

“Mr. Dros, why? Everyone says we’re perfect for each other.” 

She was the youngest daughter of the Chairman of Corcker Group. With her family reputation, the gap between her and Orion should have closed.
