Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 476

Chapter 476 Too Kind for My Own Good 

Seraphina cast a cold glare at the speaker, her tone icy and commanding. 

“Without a labor contract, we are obligated to compensate you. The one who violated labor laws is the person who employed you before, and I will not cover for him. If you’re not happy with this arrangement, feel free to sue me!” 

As her words hung in the air, discontent rippled through the crowd, and tension threatened 

to boil over. 

But then Seraphina softened her tone. 

“However, I do understand your difficulties. Here’s a cash offer of one million. With about a hundred of you here, each of you will get less than ten thousand. If you want it, come and register your names and identification information. You can take home ten thousand.” 

Excitement surged through the group. Just two days of sitting here, and they could walk away with ten thousand–a pleasant surprise indeed. 

Seraphina quickly shifted the topic and said, “But let me be clear: if you are compensated today and decide to stir up trouble again, don’t blame me for being harsh. Those who don’t take the money but still want to work can have priority for re–employment.” 

The crowd murmured among themselves, weighing their options. 

Ten thousand bucks for doing nothing, or a chance to work? 

Both seemed enticing… 

Silence fell over them as they contemplated their choices. 

Sensing that the situation was spiraling out of control, someone suddenly stood up and shouted, “Don’t trust her! What’s this little money worth? We want more!” 

Seraphina’s gaze sharpened as she locked onto the troublemaker, signaling Thomas with a glance. He immediately understood and instructed the nearby security to contain the disruptive individuals. 

With an unwavering calmness, Seraphina addressed the crowd.. 

“Blake Lee is already in jail. You have no ties to him. He has exploited you in this illegal gathering, and you’re only harming yourselves! You know the legality of your actions. It is only my mercy that has kept me from calling the cops. If I do, the officers will take you away. Most of you come from families that struggle financially. Without your income, your wives and children will go hungry. Think carefully–half an hour from now, if you’re still here without a decision, I will call the police!”

Chaptes 478 The Kind for My Own Geod 

Fear flickered across their faces. 

They hadn’t realized the gravity of their situation. 

Some even began to feel regret.

They were not afraid for themselves; they had already seen the end of their road, and any gain they could seize was for selfish reasons. 

But what about their children? 

Dragging their kids down with them was the worst crime of all. 

Wasn’t the hope for a better future rooted in the next generation? 

Seraphina knew precisely how to exploit their vulnerabilities, which was why she was able to impose a mere thirty–minute deadline so confidently. 

Her approach was a blend of firmness and compassion; the million was her compromise, a way to offer them an out. 

Reporting them to the authorities with potential criminal charges was her weapon. 

Having said her piece, she tossed the megaphone to Joseph and strode directly into the company building, with Thomas closely following. 

Seraphina spoke in a detached manner. 

“Anyone who takes the money must register properly. If they dare to claim compensation, it means they weren’t unemployed and are defrauding the government of unemployment benefits. We need to cover our bases,” Seraphina instructed, her tone matter–of–fact. 

She wasn’t looking to provoke trouble, but she had to protect herself against those greedy enough to try their luck again. Therefore, she had to leave some evidence. 

Thomas nodded in awe. 

The boss actually managed to defuse such a complicated and tense situation so effectively. Ms. Cross truly lived up to her reputation. 

She headed to her office and let out a breath of relief. 

Half an hour later, Joseph rushed upstairs, panting. 

“Ms. Cross, the crowd has dispersed.”
