Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67 I Thought There Was a Thief 

7.5 million was nearly twice the price Seraphina had initially bid. 

Seraphina snapped out of her thoughts. She chuckled. 7.5 million? Are they looking down at me? 

It was true that the pipe itself might be worth this price at most. 

However, it was the symbol of the Droses. 

If they genuinely wanted it, 7.5 million was just pocket change 

“Keep monitoring them. The current bidders are small fry.”

Olivia let out a peal of laughter and said, “Indeed, they are small fry. I recognised one of them and did a bit of digging. Guess what? Lucius was behind it, and he is probably acting on Orion’s orders. They’re getting anxious.” 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. As expected, Orion knew he couldn’t buy the pipe from her directly, so he resorted to using someone else to do his bidding. 

After chatting with Olivia for a while, she noticed it was time to go to work. Sivir was on a business trip abroad, so the company was under her command. 

She randomly picked a silver–grey Porsche Cayenne from the dozen luxury cars in the garage and drove to the office. 

At the company entrance, she handed the keys to the valet and entered the building. Her heels clicked confidently. She noticed Julia glaring at her with undisguised hatred. 

Seraphina was rather surprised. Julia had been relatively well–behaved the past few days. What had driven her to publicly show such hostility today? 

Did she find out I had given the recording to Sivir? 

Julia probably wouldn’t learn of this so soon. 

“Ms. Lane, is there something wrong with my outfit today?” 

Julia sneered coldly. Her tone was dripping with sarcasm as she cast a sidelong glance at Seraphina Julia mocked, “Mr. Cross must really like you to gift you such an expensive car. It must be worth at least three hundred thousand, right?” 

As if Seraphina could afford a Porsche Cayenne 

And a top–of–the–line model at that! 

on her own! 

Seraphina frowned, then understanding dawned on the situation. She chuckled softly and brushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear. “Mr. Cross insisted on giving me this car, saying it would be convenient for commuting. I tried to turn him down, but he insisted. Even though it’s a bit low–end, I couldn’t refuse his kindness. Personally, I don’t like silver–grey–it doesn’t match a lady’s elegance.” 

She glanced at Julia’s flushed face, then casually entered the exclusive president’s elevator.

Thomas hurried over and whispered in her ear, “Seraphina, old Mr. Dros from the Dros Group is here.” 

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. So soon? That old man was more impatient than she thought. 

Since the younger ones couldn’t handle it, they sent the elders. She wondered how Ramona planned to take the pipe from her. 

Nodding, she walked away.
