Inherit Billions

Sivir Cross

“Orion, I’ve told you she’s no good. Look at that man always by her side. Maybe she’s cheating on you and using your money to keep him around!”

Hannah taunted. hoping Orion would side with her against Seraphina. Why should she let that woman walk all over her?

Orion’s gaze turned icy, his voice stem. “Enough!”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

He walked away, ignoring Hannah completely.

At the restaurant, following Sivir’s directions, the manager had the surveillance footage ready. When Orion arrived and stated his purpose, the manager promptly handed over the tape.

Minutes ticked by as they watched….

Orion’s expression darkened progressively. Hannah stood beside him, a knot of anxiety growing inside her. The video showed Hannah and Theresa hurling venomous insults and curses while Seraphina responded with apparent indifference.

Indifference?

Was this not new to her?

Did the Dros family often treat Seraphing this way while she lived with them?

Seraphina’s calm and her retaliation left both Orion and Hannah speechless. Was this the first time she had stood up for herself?

Orion’s emotions swirled, his heart pounding as his face ran through a gamut of emotions. Abruptly, he turned off the video and strode out.

“Orion, wait!”

“Hannah, this isn’t the first time you insult her like this, right?” Orion’s voice was harsh as he fixed his gaze on his sister.

Hannah’s complexion blanched, her expression one of shock, and she hastily responded, “What are you talking about? I’m just upset that she moved on so quickly after the divorce. Why would I insult her for no reason?”

Orion sneered, unable to take his spoiled and headstrong sister seriously.

“Apologise to Seraphina!”

“No! I’d rather die than apologise to that horrible woman!” Hannah burst out, visibly distressed by the incident where Seraphina had splashed wine on her. Why should she be the one to apologise?

Clinging to Orion’s arm, Hannah pleaded, “Orion, you have to help me. Is Seraphina using your money to be with that man? It’s clear there’s something going on between them.”

Orion pulled his arm away sharply, his voice cold as he issued a final caution, “That man is Sivir Cross. You don’t want to get involved with him.”

Now, doubts clouded his mind. Was the divorce not merely a personal matter but a family matter?

Hannah stood frozen; though she had never personally met Sivir, his reputation preceded him in their social circles. Known as the eldest son of Emeris Cross, the world’s wealthiest man, he was mysterious and aristocratic. Many women sought his favour, yet here he was with Seraphina?

Fuming that her brother would not support her, Hannah knew she needed to seek assistance elsewhere. So, she immediately made a phone call. “Lucius, Seraphina is harassing me. You have to help me.”
