Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508 Helpless Fury 

The words were on the tip of Orion’s tongue, but he couldn’t find a way to begin. 

“I’m sorry about what happened yesterday,” he said. 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s there to apologize for?” 

She feigned ignorance. 

Orion frowned, surprised. “You don’t know?” 

“Know what? Oh, my phone got accidentally broken. Did you try to reach me?” She asked, blinking and giving him a teasing smile. 

In an instant, Orion’s tightly pressed lips instantly relaxed. 

“I thought you were mad.” 

Seraphina’s bright, clear eyes darkened slightly. 

“Mad? People online were cursing Wilson, not me. Why would I be angry?” 

She was deliberately making him uncomfortable at his most relaxed moment and wanted him to feel utterly ashamed. 

Orion stiffened. His eyes darkened, and there was a faint sense of loss in his voice. 

“Of course you do. How could you not know?” 

Her calm demeanor gave him the impression that she was pretending not to know, and that, somehow, that was better for her. 

Seraphina curled her lips in a slight, cold smile. 

She sneered, “Didn’t work out the way you wanted, huh, Mr. Dros? I guess you’re disappointed. It’s unexpected that such a petty tactic would be something you’d endorse.” 

Her words were a meaningless jab–though they made him uncomfortable, they caused no real harm. 

Orion’s face stiffened. His features tightened into an expression of restrained frustration. 

“I didn’t mean to drag you into this,” he said, his voice low. “I admit I was behind this morning’s actions, but the public outcry last night? That wasn’t me.” 

The look in his eyes was cold and dark. The look in his eyes was torn, searching hers with a quiet plea— would she believe him? 

“I didn’t want to drag you down into this; I just wanted to warn Wilson.” 

Seraphina chuckled lightly and cast him a half–hearted glance. 

“Things have come down to this. What good is saying this now? What? Do you think accusing someone innocent of slander will somehow get you what you want?”

“Slander? Do you really think Wilson is innocent? His involvement with his brother’s woman is hardly a 

secret overseas.” 

Orion was furious at Seraphina’s indifferent, ‘I’ll just believe in him‘ attitude. 

He couldn’t maintain his usual composure, feeling an overwhelming urge to show her just how fake Wilson was.. 

But Seraphina remained entirely calm, a steadiness in her demeanor that only frustrated him more. 

She already knew all of this–perhaps more than he did. 

The woman involved with his brother? That was Little Dani’s mother. 

She hadn’t expected the gossip to sound so bad when it reached other ears. 

Yet Wilson had sacrificed his reputation just to give Little Dani an identity. In her eyes, this act alone had somehow gained her more respect. 

Seraphina smiled faintly, looking up at him. 

“Mr. Dros, if you don’t know someone, it’s better not to jump to conclusions.” 

Then she added the most cutting remark. 

“Didn’t you used to be involved with other women too?” 

Jessica was Julius‘ sister. Everything Orion had done back then was for Jessica. 

Now, what right did he have to call out anyone for justice? 

Why didn’t he do the same? 

Orion’s face froze, as if she had slapped him. The mix of humiliation and coldness was overwhelming. 

He suddenly became cold and distant. 

His eyes darkened. He leaned forward, enclosing her in his space. His voice was low and icy.
