Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Three–Way Collaboration 

Seraphina was once a plain and unremarkable member of the Dros household. She was always keeping her bead down, doing chores, and not daring to speak word. She was as humble as a servant. The woman before them, on the other hand, was proud, confident, and exuded a powerful presence, as if she had undergone a rebirth. 

If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting. Hannah would love to tell everyone that Seraphina was just an ugly, plain, and shabby woman that the Dros family had abandoned. She wanted to rip off Seraphina’s mask and show everyone her true, humble self. 

“What’s going on? Is Seraphina really your sister–in–law She’s not ugly at all.” 

( 

“Yeah, she’s beautiful! Did you look at her skin? It’s lawless. I wonder where she got her beauty treatments done.” 

“And the man next to her is so handsome and considerate. I just saw your brother looking at her too.” 

Hannah quickly lowered her gaze to conceal the jealousy in her eyes. She heavily placed her glass on the table and snorted coldly. 

“An outcast woman like her, what else can she do besides seducing men? She probably just wants to find a rich man to support her so she can live a life of luxury without worries.” 

When Hannah’s friends noticed her displeasure, they all fell silent. 

The second floor of the ballroom was quieter. Sivir led Seraphina there. As they approached, a young man with an arrogant demeanour, dressed in a luxurious black shirt, stood up. 

The two shook hands briefly. Sivir said with a smile and greeting, “Mr. Hyatt, it’s been a long time.” 

Eden Hyatt smiled in response. A mischievous grin played on his lips as he said, “Mr. Cross, good to see you.” 

Before Sivir could introduce Seraphina, Eden’s attention had already shifted to her. His appreciation was measured, not offensive. 

“Seraphina is beautiful but also capable. I had rescheduled our meeting and invited you to this event instead. I hope you wouldn’t mind.” 

Seraphina smiled and said, “Of course not. Congratulations on the fifth anniversary of Giant Group! I hope every year from now on we can have successful collaborations.” 

Her words held a double meaning. 

Eden grinned and demanded, “Mr. Cross, may I have a word with Seraphina in private? After all, she’ll be our liaison if we continue with this collaboration.” 

“Of course.” Sivir was not surprised. He gave Seraphina an encouraging look and then went downstairs to mingle with the other guests. 

Standing by the railing on the second floor, Eden and Seraphina faced each other. As they chatted under

Chapter 42 Three Way Collaboration 

I’m curious why you’re so confident about this collaboration, Eden askerl. 

He was casually swirling the crimson liquid in his glass

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, a strand of curly hair casually fell across her forehead, adding to her allure. 

“Mr. Hyatt. I have presented a very sincere offer, which I believe you have reviewed. Among many investors, my company is the most suitable. Simply put, you have the technology, and I have the money. 

“Cross Group isn’t looking for short–term profits from Giant Group within five years, we’re looking for long–term cooperation. I believe we will determine the development of Al technology in the next ten years” 

Those who offered more money than Cross Group didn’t offer as many benefits as Seraphina, while those who did offer more benefits didn’t have enough financial backing.
