Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 Seraphina’s Commanding Presence 

Wilson wasn’t someone without a temper he simply kept it under wraps. 

However, when Seraphina faced injustice, Wilson couldn’t contain his anger.

Seraphina paused for a moment, feeling a warmth spread inside her. His open defense, without any attempt to hide it, soothed her soul. 

She smiled at Wilson in gratitude. 

With so many people watching, Lucius immediately felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him after Wilson’s words. 

Who did Wilson think he was? How dare he lecture him? 

Lucius, who was on good terms with Orion, had never been fond of Wilson. 

As he turned to lash out, he caught a cold gleam in Seraphina’s eyes. 

His body stiffened as he realized, with a jolt, that he had inadvertently insulted Seraphina with his words. 

A chill ran down his spine. 

She had something on him–nude photos, no less–and if they ever saw the light of day, his reputation would be ruined. 

Worse still, she was Seraphina, the last person anyone should cross. 

Swallowing the words that had almost escaped his throat, Lucius shot Seraphina a glance, then Wilson. Lucius silently suppressed his fury. 

Just when the crowd thought Lucius might cause another scene, he suddenly flashed a forced smile and walked toward Seraphina. 

In front of everyone, he bowed slightly. 

“I misspoke. I’m sorry, Seraphina. I acted impulsively. Please forgive me.” 

His smile was stiff and hesitant. 

The people around them were astounded. 

Lucius, despite the fall of the Browns‘ fortune, was still the heir of the prestigious family. 

While the Browns could no longer compare to the soaring Cross Group, his status in the social circle had always been high. 

Everyone had heard of his close friendship with Orion and his position as the president of the Brown Group. And yet here he was, bowing and apologizing so humbly simply because of a careless remark. 

For a moment, the room was silent in disbelief. 

But Seraphina, unbothered and composed, flashed a small smile. She was neither surprised nor anxious.

the benefits of acknowledging his mistakes. 

Had he not done so, she would have made him regret it dearly. 

After a few seconds of silence, with all eyes on her, she gave a small smile and winked. 

“I forgive you, Mr. Brown, but this is your only chance. Next time, be more careful with your words.” 

Her tone was warm, almost playful, but Lucius had captured the underlying warning. 

His scalp tingled with unease as he absorbed the weight of her words. 

For the sake of his pride, he had to swallow his frustration and endure.

Seraphina then turned her attention to Michael, who had been watching the scene with interest. “Isn’t it time to pop the champagne?” 

Michael understood and said, “Oh my! I almost forgot. Let’s celebrate, everyone–raise your glasses!” 

Michael’s infectious energy quickly drew in the crowd. 

Lucius let out a breath of relief, glaring
