Ch. 146..150: Inherit Billions Chapter 146-150
Chapter 146
Confirming the Rumours
The two discussed various issues related to the acquisition, and the conversation was nearly over when. Seraphina suddenly remembered someone. She asked about Albert. "Is he alright?"
It must have been tough for someone so new to the industry to face such a huge setback.
"He's fine, though the team was pretty worried. The Wheeler Group kicked them out when they went to plead for him. His manager was terrified," Michael said with a chuckle. "But with your help, the situation quickly turned around."
Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, "That's good. Give him a few extra jobs to make up for it. After all, I'm the one who brought him into this mess."
"Don't worry, who would have the nerve to offend Ms. Cross's man?"
""Get lost-
Seraphina shot him a glare. Anyone who hung around Justin always had a way of steering the conversation. off course!
With business concluded, Seraphina left. If she stayed any longer, she might really want to punch
someone.
In less than ten minutes, before Jane could even return to the Wheeler Group to tattle to her father, a recording had already replaced the rumours about Seraphina and Albert. It had climbed straight to the top of the trending topics. Stirred, the crowd searched nationwide for 'Ms. Wheeler's' identity.
Soon enough, Jane's background was exposed.
In high school, she bullied a classmate into dropping out and was sent abroad for a year of 'reformation.
She came back and had a crush on Orion. Following her rejection, she sought plastic surgery at Keglaidan. There's nothing natural about her face.
When she heard about Orion's divorce, she eagerly returned to the country.
But what people found most intriguing was the latter part of the recording
""Ms. Wheeler, is this all because of Orion?"
"I've never had the habit of picking up trash that I've already thrown away. You should be the one telling him to stay out of my sight."
"Do you want to who
truly holds the powe Albert? I'll make him shine brighter than ever. I just want you to showi
here."

Confirming the Rumours
"Oh my god, you have to have some serious confidence to talk like this. Life goals: to be Seraphina!"
"Ms. Cross is the ultimate winner in life. Would a woman with billions of dollars care about an ex-husband? What's wrong with Albert? Isn't he much easier on the eyes?"
"Thank you, Ms. Cross, for loving younger men. Thank you, Ms. Cross, for saving a young man."
The only drawback from the recording was that it solidified rumours that Seraphina had a thing for younger men.
At the Dros Group headquarters.
Inside Orion's office, the temperature seemed to plummet.
Silence hung heavy in the air.
Orion's face was grim, and a chilling aura radiated from his entire being.
The cold was enough to make anyone shiver.
Ken had been following the news about Seraphina since early morning, and he was the first to report it to Orion.
Before they could make a move, the tide took a sudden turn.
At first, everyone condemned Seraphina for the scandal with Albert, but now they were thanking her for liking younger men!
Ken had never experienced such a tense few minutes.
The invisible pressure in the room was suffocating.
Orion scrolled through the online comments. He grew angrier with each one he read, yet he kept reading them meticulously, one by one!
Some even paired the edited clip of Seraphina and Albert with romantic music, making it seem as if they had witnessed an eternal love story! Only one phrase could describe it. Those two were a perfect match.
Albert, a rookie who had just made his debut, was actually overshadowing Orion, a wealthy and powerful
tycoon.
Bang-
He slammed his phone onto the desk with such force that the screen cracked.
Ken stiffened and was instantly in high-alert mode.
Mr. Dros
Chapter 147
Ken Has a Mental Breakdown
Orion's complexion was ashen. Each word escaped his lips with a sharp, cold tone. His rage barely
contained itself.
"Who are these people, struggling with their own miserable lives yet still finding time to meddle in ot affairs? Young man? He looks like a sissy. How could those two possibly be a match?"
Ken responded without hesitation, almost as if on instinct.
"Those are just Albert's delusional fans, clinging to fantasies. How could Ms. Cross ever fall for someor like that? Albert's just using her name to boost his own popularity. The entertainment industry these d is just too superficial." What Ken really thought was that they were already divorced, so why does it matter who his ex-wife pa up with? He genuinely felt conflicted for his boss.
Orion let out a cold, dismissive snort. He recalled the last words on that recording, where Seraphina ha unexpectedly dragged him into the conversation, speaking as if her words were meant specifically for h
His previously improving mood darkened once more.
No habit of picking up trash? Did she take me as trash from the past?
He snapped his head up, fixing Ken with an intense stare.
"So, what kind of man do you think Seraphina likes?"
There was an inexplicable chill in his voice, a coldness that sent shivers down Ken's spine.
If Orion remembered correctly, that night, Seraphina Had smiled at Ken more times than at him. She on smirked coldly and mocked him.
Why does Ken deserve such treatment?
In that moment, Ken felt as though an invisible hand had grabbed him by the collar, and a suffocating sense of dread took hold.
"Hmm?"
Orion's gaze grew even darker as Ken remained silent..
"Aren't you two close? Tell me your thoughts."
Close? Where on earth did you get the idea that we are close?!
Ken wished he could protest to the gods. Every word that Orion spoke was laced with deadly threats.
He realised that working for Orion was high-risk and could potentially get him killed.
Ken cleared his throat and braced himself to speak.
"Mr. Dros, I'm not close with Ms. Cross. How would I know what kind of man she likes?

"But I do think that since Ms. Cross was willing to give up everything to marry you back then, her type must nitely be someone like you! Albert? He's nothing! Ms. Cross would never lower her standards for someone like him." As Orion finally lowered his eyes, refraining from further questioning, Ken let out a silent sigh of relief.
He'd dodged a bullet!
After a few moments of silence, Orion spoke, "Start preparing for the press conference. We must follow up on the Giant Group's announcement without any mistakes."
"Of course, I'll oversee everything immediately. We will deliver your new phone shortly.
Ken spoke with the utmost seriousness before hurrying out.
Orion let out another cold snort. He picked up his phone to glance at the comments, then tossed it aside
in disdain.
He didn't want to see any more. It only worsened his mood.
How could someone like Albert even think to compare himself with me?
Are these people blind?
Seraphina and Albert's relationship reached a new height in online discussions, earning them the title of 'Best Cougar Couple!
Even though neither of the parties involved had confirmed anything, fans were ecstatic, treating the couple as a done deal.
A large group had even flocked to Justin's social media account and offered sympathy. They even advised him on how to win Seraphina back.
Another group was trying to get a response from Justin but he had no time to reply.
Because he was currently getting pummelling by his old man.

This is My Territory
Thomas moved quickly and completed the Wheeler Group share transfer. All Seraphina had to do was visit Wheeler Group and sign the papers to complete the handover.
After that. Seraphina would become the major shareholder, owning over 51% of Wheeler Group.
Thomas had informed other major shareholders about the upcoming shareholders' meeting, while Seraphina planned to arrive slightly late.
Jane confronted Seraphina as soon as she entered Wheeler Group, storming over with an angry stride.
She asked loudly, "Seraphina, what are you doing here?"
A massive backlash resulted from the recording and online leak of her attempt to provoke Seraphina.
The internet had turned against her, and people were digging up every piece of dirt on her they could
find.
Shed spent tens of thousands trying to bury the scandal, but nothing worked. Now, she was a pariah online, afraid to even speak a word.
Her actions had also negatively impacted the Wheeler Group. Her father, Will Wheeler, had been furious and scolded her for a full hour. Jane blamed it all on Seraphina.
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she became. She figured she hadn't spent enough money-if she just poured more to hire the water army, she could turn the public against Seraphina instead. With that in mind, she rushed
to the company. Jane planned to convince her father's team to increase the
budget for online manipulators.
Surprisingly, she saw Seraphina as soon as she entered the building.
Hahaha!
Her anger and jealousy flared uncontrollably.
Seraphina chuckled softly when she saw Jane.
She said, "What a coincidence, Ms. Wheeler
"I'm asking you, what are you doing here?" Jane demanded, her voice full of authority. This was her territory, and she wouldn't tolerate Seraphina's presence.
Seraphina's gaze turned cold, but she was still smiling.
"As a shareholder in Wheeler Group, I'm here to attend the shareholders' meeting. I don't need to check in with you. do 17 As far as I know, you don't own any shares in Wheeler Group. Therefore, you shouldn't be present here.
Jane's
expression darkened, and her fists clenched tightly.

"This is my family's company. I can come whenever I want. You're not welcome here. Your insignificant shares mean nothing-I'll have my father buy them out immediately. Now leave!"
Her voice was sharp and grating.
Seraphina casually lifted her gaze and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear. She responded coldly. "Your family's company? I wouldn't be so sure about that."
She glanced at Jane. There was a hint of mockery in her eyes.
Soon enough, it wouldn't be the Wheelers' company anymore. It would be Seraphina's.
She was eager to wait for that moment to arrive. Seraphina was looking forward to Jane's reaction. "Seraphina, I'm not afraid of you. You depend on your family like I do-what are you so proud of?"
They were the same kind of person. What right does Seraphina have to always act like she is above herself?
Jane's voice grew louder as she tried to expose all of Seraphina's flaws.
She crossed her arms and tilted her chin up, mocking her.
"Even though you married into the Dros family, you still got kicked out by them, didn't you? And now, you're using your family's influence to try to get close to Orion. Is that your plan, Seraphina? How shameless can you be?"

Jane believed she had finally exposed Seraphina's pretense. After this, it was unlikely that Seraphina would maintain her lofty facade.
She waited eagerly for the moment when Seraphina would explode in rage.
Surprisingly, Seraphina remained calm and showed no sign of rage.
Instead, she let out a mocking smile and met Jane's eyes
Seraphina's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth.
She said. "Ms. Wheeler, it's important for you to understand something. It wasn't Orion that kicked me away; it was I who abandoned him. Unlike you, I didn't degrade myself by wasting money on plastic surgery to please a man. That's something you're better at than me." With that, Seraphina smirked, turned on her heel, and strutted away.
She didn't spare Jane a second glance.
It took a moment for Jane to realise that Seraphina had just insulted her.
Anger boiled within her. Jane stomped her foot in rage, and her entire body trembled with fury.
How dare Seraphina humiliate her on her own turf!
Consumed with rage, Jane didn't think clearly as she chased after Seraphina.
She was determined to teach her a lesson.
Seraphina stood calmly by the elevator and waited.
It wasn't long before it arrived.
Ding-
By then, Jane had caught up to her. She grabbed Seraphina's arm. Jane raised her hand and squeezed the words through her gritted teeth. "Seraphina, go to hell-"
Before Jane could strike, someone from inside the elevator swiftly kicked her, sending her sprawling to the ground, writhing in pain. "Urghh-
Jane let out a tragic scream, clutching her side as she rolled on the floor.
When Jane collected herself and looked up, her face turned pallid in shock. 'Orion...
She was utterly stunned, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

The man stood there, and his expression was as cold as ice. Orion's gaze swept over the woman on the ground with nothing but contempt. There wasn't a shred of regret or remorse in his expression. Was his disdain directed at her as a person?
Or at how she addressed him?
Jane's face twisted in pain. She bit her lip.
Before she could gather her thoughts, another figure rushed forward and slapped her hard across the face.
The force was intense.
"You fool! How many times have I told you not to cause trouble? Do you want to get our whole family killed?"
It was her father.
Will's face was contorted with rage, but he quickly turned around and bowed to Seraphina.
His demeanour was servile, and his voice was trembling with fear.
Will asked cautiously, "Ms. Cross, are you alright? I'm so sorry, Ms. Cross. It's my fault for not teaching her better. Please forgive us. I promise I'll discipline her when we get home.
Seraphina let out a faint chuckle. Her gaze briefly flicked over the dishevelled Jane on the ground.
She proposed, "Since you're here, why not bring Ms. Wheeler along to the shareholders' meeting?"
Seraphina didn't give Will any room for argument.
Will hesitated for a moment before bowing deeply.
"Yes, Ms. Cross, of course."
Orion said nothing as he followed Seraphina into the elevator.
Seraphina paused and turned her calm gaze to Orion. She asked, "Mr. Dros, are you here for business?" Orion studied her for a moment and said with a smile, Something like that. Someone contacted met yesterday about purchasing the 10% of Wheeler Group hares I hold. I'm here to finalise the deal." Seraphina was momentarily taken aback. She gave Orion a long, deep look before stepping into the elevator without another word.
Will hurried forward to press the elevator button for them, respectfully inviting Orion inside. He then waited outside, obediently awaiting the next elevator.
Jane was still on the floor and felt as though all the strength had drained from her body as she saw the scene. Fear gripped her heart,
She was terrified,

Will cast a furious glare at Jane. His voice was seething with anger.
He scolded, "How dare you mess up with everyone that crosses you? Why didn't you die on the operation table when you had that plastic surgery?"
Jane ignored everything else.
She rushed over and clutched Will's arm.
"Dad, why are you afraid of her? Seraphina is nothing!!
Will shoved her off. He carefully thought of Seraphina's words and roughly yanked her up from the ground.
He warned, "Let me tell you something. Seraphina is the Cross Group's heiress. With a flick of her finger, she could make this company disappear. You'd better behave yourself. If you cause any more trouble. I'll
ship you back to Keglaidan without a dime. You can fend for yourself!"
Jane shuddered and looked horrified..
A cold dread settled in her heart and chilled her to the bone.

Chapter 150
The Wheeler Group Changes Ownership
Inside the elevator, Seraphina and Orion remained silent. As they approached the conference room, they saw Thomas, who was waiting for them there.
When he saw them approaching. Thomas promptly stepped forward to open the door.
Orion's presence was commanding and intimidating. He demanded respect and attention wherever he went. He was always the centre of attention and impossible to ignore.
When they entered the room, it was Seraphina who led the way. Her aura was just as powerful, if not more so, with an icy elegance that commanded admiration. Her presence overshadowed even Orion's. As soon as they entered. Will and Jane quickly followed.
The meeting began. Throughout the session, Seraphina barely spoke. It was Thomas who methodically announced various decisions and issues.
Jane felt completely overwhelmed. Sitting there, her mind was foggy, swinging between chills and flashes of heat, her palms slick with sweat.
With her extraordinary, cool, and regal demeanour, Seraphina sat at the centre of the table, Jane suddenly felt a huge gap between them. There was a difference in their status.
It was like Seraphina belonged to a world far beyond her reach-a world she could never attain.
A sudden wave of panic washed over Jane.
Was this what happened when you crossed Seraphina?
Seraphina had taught her a harsh lesson.
Orion, on the other hand, kept his gaze fixed on Seraphina's face.
It was as if his presence at this meeting was solely because of her.
By the end of the meeting, Jane finally understood what had happened.
Seraphina, the largest shareholder, had taken control of the entire Wheeler Group.
Her father no longer held the position of chairman. Michael, from Aurora Entertainment, would take over the Wheeler Group.
The Wheeler Group had become a minor subsidiary of the Cross Group.
Throughout the meeting, Seraphina watched Jane's changing expressions with a smile.
It was truly a spectacle-she wasn't disappointed at all.
Seraphina was confident that, after this incident, Will would no longer allow this brainless blonde to stay by his side, especially since he had an illegitimate son.

As the meeting ended, Seraphina didn't feel the need for any pleasantries. She gave Thomas a quick glance, signalling her departure.
Orion wanted to catch up with Seraphina and talked to her, but she didn't give him the chance.
As Seraphina's car disappeared from view, Orion sighed in regret and got into his own car.
Orion's car arrived at the estate. As soon as he stepped inside, the butler rushed to greet him.
"Mr. Orion, Mr. Ramona is waiting for you in the study
Orion nodded and headed upstairs with a blank expression.
When he reached the study door, a teacup came flying towards him. He sidestepped just in time. Orion's gaze had turned icy.
"You still have the nerve to come back?"
Ramona sat in on the study. The atmosphere was thick with tension.
"What do you want?"
Orion asked, frowning.
Ramona gritted his teeth in anger.
"Hmph, Seraphina wants to deal with Jane, and you just hand over the Wheeler Group shares to her?
"How can you be so compliant?
"The Cross Group has targeted us in every way possible. Don't you realise you should have used this opportunity to renegotiate with them?"
This grandson had always been his pride, a business prodigy.
Recently, the Dros Group's online image had taken a massive hit, and with Seraphina needing their help. they should have seized the opportunity. Yet he had given up such a good opportunity. How could he not be furious?
Orion remained indifferent, his eyes showing no concern for Ramona's anger.
"There is no need to renegotiate. The Cross Group already holds a significant portion of Wheeler Group's shares. Influencing their decisions isn't difficult. Since Seraphina wants-the shares I hold, she can have them.
His voice was low and cold. Orion added, "Besides, the Wheeler Group is already starting to show financial losses. Holding onto too many shares is pointless. I have no intention of cleaning up their mess." He wasn't interested in the fate of the Wheeler Group, no matter what happened to that company. It was beneath him.
