Ch. 311..315: Inherit Billions Chapter 311-315

Chapter 311

I'll Try to Fulfill Your Wish

The air became tense in an instant, and everything fell silent.

Emeris's hand, reaching for the gift, frozen in place.

When she glanced at Wilson, she noticed a slight twitch in his expression.

His eyes twitched. The calm and collected mask he wore year-round began to crack slightly.

"Daddy, I want to inherit your fortune right away!"

Finished

Little Dani twisted and turned, whining adorably in a way that made it hard not to want to give him a good smack

Wilson had already repeated the words to himself a thousand times. This is my child. I need to bear with

His gaze settled on Little Dani. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible. "Right away?" he repeated in a low voice.

Little Dani nodded seriously and explained, "Only if I inherit your fortune can I be with Ms. Lovely forever!" So, the sooner, the better!

For the sake of Ms. Lovely, he was ready to give up even his own father.

Wilson looked at his son's soft, innocent face. He was struggling to maintain his composure and grace.

"Til try to fulfill your wish as soon as possible," he gritted out between clenched teeth.

Little Dani smiled joyfully and asked, "When would that be?"

One second, two seconds... No, Wilson couldn't hold it in any longer!

His eyes narrowed sharply.

In one swift motion, he grabbed the back of Dani's shirt, easily lifting him off the ground as if he were just

ball that could be tossed away.

Emeris hurriedly intervened, saying, "He's just a kid, speaking without thinking."

Wilson gave a faint smile, carefully controlling his expression.

He nodded apologetically toward Emeris and said, "Mr. Cross, my apologies. I just remembered an urgent matter at the company that I must attend to immediately. I'll visit tomorrow to offer my proper apologies." With that, he effortlessly carried Little Dani out, his steps brisk and unbothered.

"Nooo! I want to kiss Ms. Lovely before we leave."

I'll Try to Fulfill Your Wish

Finished

On the deck, Seraphina watched as Wilson carried Litde Dani away. She wanted to ask what was going on.

Before she could take a few steps, Orion caught her wrist.

"Don't go. Just think about what I said, alright?"

His voice was deep and cautious, almost pleading.

There was a hint of humility.

He had mentioned earlier that Emeris wouldn't ignore her daughter's future, and if there were talks of an arranged marriage, he hoped he would be considered first. After all, he had all the qualifications and advantages.

Besides him, who else was worthy of Seraphina?

Still, when he saw Seraphina and Wilson enjoying their conversation earlier, even though he knew Wilson wasn't a real possibility, he couldn't help but feel bitter

That was the reason he had cautiously explored his options.

Seraphina looked at him and met his gaze.

Suddenly, she smiled.

"Mr. Orion, with arranged marriages, it's all about finding a suitable match. But you? I'm not afraid. I won't fall for the same person twice-it's embarrassing enough the first time." She smiled and spoke in a leisurely manner.

"Besides, I've seen the world. My tastes have improved. I'm no longer interested in the people I once fancied"

She made sure to emphasize the word 'once fancied.

"Se aphina!"

Orion's heart felt as if it had been stabbed.

Seraphina smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll never forget how you saved my life. Buras for feelings

well, you can't force them, can you?"

The always aloof and dignified Orion now felt a pain in his heart as sharp as a blade.

No matter how hard he tried, it seemed he was the only one stuck in place.

He was at a loss for words due to the bitterness and heartbreak, along with the frustration bubbling inside.

What could he do?

Throw a tantrum?

He had no right to do that.

Finished

A few seconds later, his hands clenched into tight fists, veins popping on his forehead, and the corners of his eyes turning red. No one noticed it in the dim light of the night.

Chapter 312

Finished

Orion's Intentions.

The moment they stepped back into the banquet hall, his expression returned to its usual calm, distant and aloof demeanor.

His entire presence exuded an icy coldness.

He tilted his head in Seraphina's direction, his voice tinnaturally steady as if carefully restrained, carrying both authority and tenderness.

"It's fine. I can keep waiting

Even if there was no hope, he wouldn't give up.

Seraphina ignored his words. She rolled

her eyes at him before continuing forward.

Everyone observed their interactions, noticing the subtle distance and the way they carried themselves- perfectly matched in appearance and strength.

It was clear to everyone that they had reconciled. Their relationship seemed fine, and the guests quietly speculated that they were close to remarrying.

The alliance between the Droses and the Crosses would only strengthen their unshakable dominance in the business world.

As the banquet neared its end, Seraphina followed behind Emeris, bidding farewell to guests one by one.

When they reached Orion, he deliberately stayed back

Emeris smiled at him and said, "Be sure to pass on my well wishes to your grandfather, Orion. I hope he remains healthy and strong." His words were full of care.

Seraphina glanced at her father. She sensed something wasn't quite right.

Or on returned the smile, nodding. "We'll see each other tomorrow."

"Of course."

After seeing Orion off, Seraphina looked at Emeris. She was rather surprised.

"Tomorrow? Why did you make plans with him, Dad?"

Emeris patted her hand. His eyes filled with expectation.

"He's planned a special gift for my birthday with a twenty-day world tour."

Emeris could easily take twenty days off to have a holiday. He had been wanting to do this for some time.

ΠΟΥ.

Seraphina frowned and asked, "Are you going alone?"

"Of course not. You're coming with me."

Orion's Intentions

Emeris looked at her solemnly and said, "You're not thinking of refusing, are you?"

Emeris could easily see Orion's intentions, but he didn't plan on opposing them directly.

He had observed Orion lately and genuinely wanted to reconcile

Finished

willing to give him a chance, as Orion had gone as far as riskih Seraphine. This time, Emeris was

his life for it.

Whether Orion could seize the opportunity or not was up to him.

If Seraphina remained firm in her stance, Emeris would respect her wishes and no longer intervene in her personal life.

Seraphina gave a gentle smile and said indirectly, "Of course not. I just think it's a bit sudden."

Emeris chuckled and said, "Surprises are always sudden. To be honest, I'm quite pleased with Orion's gift. The fact that he thought of something like this shows that he's putting in real effort. That's why I agreed!" Seraphina couldn't help but feel that there was something more behind it all.

"But my work and the company... Seraphina hesitated.

"Hand it over to your brother. If he can't handle it, give it to Justin. Whatever amount he loses, he'll have to make up for it!

Emeris spoke casually. No matter what happened, nothing was going to ruin his plans.

At that moment, Justin happened to be passing by. He halted and widened his eyes in shock.

What did Emeris mean by 'make up for it?

Wasn't he Emeris's biological son?

Seraphina, feeling helpless, finally relented. Fine, she thought. Consider it a free vacation

Justin was unwilling to accept the arrangement. He quickly followed them and protested, "Dad, I want to

go too!"

Emeris gave him a cold glance and commanded, "Go away!"

"Don't send Seraphina away! Eating, drinking, and having fun are my specialties!" Justin tried to prove his worth.

How could they leave him behind for something like this?

A trip sounded way better than staying behind to watch over the company.

Why on earth should he stay behind to watch over the company on behalf of Seraphina and make

up

for

the losses?

Emeri's complexion turned pale due to his exasperation. He pressed a hand to his chest and chided, "On a joyful day like this, don't make me lose my temper!"

The sheer authority in his voice was enough to make Justin tremble.

He quickly scurried away Too cowardly to provoke his father any further

Wilson's Intentions

It had rained lightly all through the night, but by the next morning, the skies had cleared, leaving a sweet freshness in the air. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the room.

With no work scheduled for the day, Seraphina was free to manage her time as she pleased.

When she opened her eyes, it was already past nine.

She took her time and moved sluggishly through her morning routine-brushing her hair, getting dressed, and applying light makeup. There were no messages on her phone. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't arranged a meeting time with Orion or Emeris yesterday.

Feeling even less rushed now, she moved slower. Seraphina went to the balcony and practiced some yoga, allowing her body and mind to completely relax.

By the time she walked out of her room, it was already 11 AM.

As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard voices coming from downstairs.

Emeris said, "Seraphina worked until late last night and got up early this morning for a conference call. Honestly, it makes my heart ache to see her working so hard."

Seraphina paused mid-step. The click of her high heels coming to an abrupt stop. She had only just gotten up, but now she felt guilty for sleeping in so late.

Justin chuckled softly from where he sat, offering no further comment.

Orion's voice remained calm and polite as ever.

He responded, "Seraphina's success comes from both talent and hard work. Her achievements today are a natural outcome of that."

cactly," Emeris eagerly agreed.

heraphina felt troublesome and couldn't bear to continue listening to them.

Was this a praise session or something else?

She couldn't listen any longer and hurried down the stairs.

Justin was lounging on the sofa with a lazy grin on his face.

"Well, well, Ms. Seraphina, you've finally graced us with your presence."

She shot him a glare but ignored his teasing.

She looked at everyone else and said, "You're all here already? I was just on a conference call." Her voice didn't falter, and her expression remained composed, as if she truly had been working.

Emeris nodded approvingly. Her response was so convincing, it was hard to tell if it was true or not. "Good morning, Ms. Cross," Ken greeted her. She hadn expected to see him here as well.

Wilson's Intentions

Seraphina nodded back.

Finished

Little Dani was sitting obediently next to Wilson. For some reason, he didn't seem as excited as usual. It was like someone had given him a talking-to. When he saw Seraphina, his eyes lit up, but he quickly glanced at Wilson and dejectedly remained seated.

Orion checked his Patek Philippe watch and said, "It's about time we get going."

Little Dani jumped to his feet. He exclaimed, "Yes, let's go! I'm going on a trip with Ms. Lovely!"

Orion's expression froze, and he asked, "You're coming too?"

"Of course!"

Orion turned to look at Wilson's son with a puzzled expression. "Mr. Rockwell, you're comfortable letting him travel alone?"

Wilson frowned slightly, his voice calm but firm. "You're right, I'm not. I'll come along as well."

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone turned to look at him in surprise.

Even Seraphina hadn't expected this. He's coming along?

I had only invited Little Dani last night, not Wilson!

Orion's expression shifted, becoming more complicated by seconds. His eyes darkened as he stared at

Wilson.

He could let it slide once or twice, but now Wilson's constant presence was beginning to feel like interference. Orion couldn't help but feel suspicious. Wilson was a seasonal businessman. Was he genuinely unable to read the room, or was there something more to his actions?

Orion couldn't help but doubt his intention.

Emeris, momentarily stunned, quickly recovered and flashed his usual charming smile.

"Well, the more, the merrier. It's understandable that Mr. Rockwell doesn't want to leave his young son. alone. Shall we head out, Mr. Dros?"

Orion smiled, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Sure."

Ken stood off to the side, dumbfounded. This trip was supposed to be for Seraphina and Orion, a little family outing with Emeris tagging along to make it more of a family affair. But with Wilson and Little Dani coming along, what was this turning into? A company trip?

Orion's gaze softened slightly when it landed on Seraphina, the hard lines of his face casing as his lips. curled into a gentle smile.

"Let's go. Take a few days to relax."

Wilson's Intentions.

Finished

Their eyes met, and Seraphina returned the smile. She said, "Thank you, Mr. Dros, for your thoughtful planning."

They were all so accustomed to these social games that no matter how harsh the words exchanged the night before or how tense things had been, they could act like nothing had happened when they met again the next day. Ken followed behind Orion, frowning deeply. The way things were unfolding was not what he had anticipated.

Chapter 314

Do You Two Sleep Together?

The helicopter was parked on the nearby lawn. Wilson rode over with long steps, not waiting for anyone. Little Dani scrambled up after him, huffing and puffing The little boy even glanced back to check if Seraphina was following. Seraphina was the last to climb aboard. She was in the middle of texting Thomas when she noticed Orion stepping onto the stairs with a slight wobble, his body swaying for a moment.

She scowled and hastily moved forward, extending her hand to steady him.

Initially startled, Orion looked at her with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Seraphina said nothing. Soon, everyone had boarded safely.

Thank you." Orion said.

Raising an eyebrow, Seraphina smirked, "Hmm, Mr. Dros, in your condition, and you still want to travel the world? Haha. How amusing.

Before Orion could respond, Ken hurriedly chimed in with an explanation. "Mr. Dros has been losing sleep for days because of Mr. Cross's birthday. Aren't you always wanting to travel the world, but for one reason or another, you couldn't? Mr. Dros cleared his schedule, canceling important meetings just to make her happy. Isn't it touching?"

Seraphina's lips twitched as she glanced at Ken with a teasing smile.

"How do you know Mr. Dros hasn't been sleeping well? Do you two sleep together or something?"

Ken froze. "Huh?"

Orion's face darkened, his gaze coldly sweeping over Ken

His reputation was at stake here.

Without saying another word, Seraphina turned and walked away to find Emeris.

Even though there was no wind, a chill seemed to fill the air. Ken shivered slightly.

Just then, the flight hit some turbulence and shook. Seraphina, who hadn't fastened her seatbelt, was almost thrown from her seat. Suddenly, Wilson grabbed her hand and pulled her firmly into place. She exhaled in relief. "Thank you, Mr. Rockwell."

Wilson released her hand and gave a simple nod. "You're welcome."

A few seconds later, he unexpectedly leaned over, reaching across her body to adjust something on her left side. The sudden closeness caused Seraphina to stiffen, and she quickly pulled back, looking at him in surprise Wilson pressed his lips together and reminded him, "Your seatbelt."

His explanation was short and to the point.

Do You Two Sleep Together?

Finished

Understanding his instructions, Seraphina followed his lead and fastened her seatbelt. She said with a smile, "Mr. Rockwell, you came all this way, Won't it be problem for your company?"

Wilson replied with a neutral grunt. He replied with a calm tone, "I'm just an investor. My only job is to provide funding. I'm not involved in the technical aspects, so meddling would only slow things down. There's nothing more for me to do." Seraphina struggled to articulate her thoughts. Investors like Wilson were truly rare.

After a pause, Wilson added, "Besides, Little Dani really wanted to come along. I had to scold him last night, and he still hasn't forgiven me, so I had to tag along."

Mentioning Little Dani brought a smile to Seraphina's face. "I see. Mr. Rockwell, you really care for him. He must love you very much."

What a heartwarming father-son relationship!

Wilson gave a quiet smile, choosing not to reply.

A son who was ready to inherit his fortune at any moment?

He had already instructed Little Dani's tutors to double his homework!

Even during the trip, there would be no fun for him.

Sitting behind them, Orion watched Seraphina and Wilson's friendly conversation, his eyes narrowing in displeasure.

That uncomfortable feeling in his chest was growing stronger, like he had missed something important, and now the signs were starting to show.

Next to him, Ken sensed the tension and realized he needed to do something. As Orion's assistant, it was his duty to prove his worth.

After some thought, he cleared his throat and asked, "Ms. Cross, how about we switch seats? The view from here is fantastic."

Seraphina frowned, not saying a word. Little Dani's clear voice cut in decisively, "Ms. Lovely wants to sleep, Don't bother her!" Ken sheepishly shut his mouth.

Chapter 315

The Dominant CEO and the Homeless Violinist

Seraphina raised an eyebrow. Hell, that was convenient. Little Dani is such a clever kid.

Little Dani puffed his chest proudly. If Emeris didn't drag me along. I would have definitely stayed with Ms. Lovely.

I certainly didn't trust leaving Ms. Lovely next to Mr. Wicked and would rather leave her in my dad's care for a while.

During the ride, Seraphina didn't ask about their destination. Soon enough, she drifted off to sleep

Unknowingly, her head rested on the shoulder of the person next to her.

After a few hours, she was gently shaken awake. Her blurry vision focused on Little Dani's adorable. beaming face, magnified as he leaned in.

The boy whopped. "Ms. Lovely, look! It's a castle!"

The sky had darkened slightly as the airplane hovered above.

Instinctively, Seraphina turned to glance out the window. There, nestled atop a lush green mountain, was a castle estate gleaming with lights. It stood tall and imposing. The flickers of light give it a mysterious yet grand allure.

From the looks of it, Seraphina guessed it must be a private estate.

The plane landed on the estate's helipad.

After hours on the plane, Little Dani could hardly contain his excitement as he dashed out. Emeris followed closely behind. Wilson narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze to the side. Then, with a gentlemanly gesture, he extended his hand toward Seraphina. Before Seraphina could take it, Orion swooped in and snatched her hand with an iron grip.

She tried to pull her hand free, but his hold was firm.

Seraphina shot him an exasperated look but followed them down. The air was clear, the stars twinkling in the distance. Not far away, a few butlers and servants approached quickly from afar.

At last, Orion succeeded in his goal-he was finally able to have Seraphina push his wheelchair while they strolled along the banks of the Tayness River.

Orion's mood noticeably improved now that the others had left.

Up ahead, a burly, tattooed homeless man stood. He was playing his instrument with deep concentration. A small crowd had gathered, listening attentively.

The scene was picturesque. If the melody had been elegant and graceful, paired with the soothing murmur of the river, it could have been a moment that touched the soul.

However, the violinist's performance sounded far from refined. It was more akin to the wailing of an elderly woman-sharp, unpleasant, and mournful.

Seraphina found herself slowing down, unconsciously stopping to listen, Orion, too, paused, standing by

The Dominant CEO and the Homeless Violinist

*Finished

As the performance came to an end, the audience heaved a collective sigh of relief and began to disperse.

That homeless violanist glanced at Orion, then at Seraphina-who was stunningly beautiful. His eyes were filled with pity and sympathy.

Orion, pale and visibly unwell from lack of rest, looked like a terminally ill patient.

In the eyes of the violinist, it seemed a waste for such a beautiful woman to be with someone who appeared so frail.

Orion's expression remained unreadable, his brows furrowed in thought.

Unable to hold back, the homeless man spoke, "Did you even understand my music?"

His tone suggested that if Orion didn't, he should leave

He took another look at Orion, unimpressed by anything beyond his attractive looks.

There was a clear hint of disdain in his voice.

Orion raised an eyebrow and let out a soft, dismissive laugh. "It was awful"

"What?" The homeless violinist's expression darkened as he prepared to confront Orion.

The romantic atmosphere that had been building moments earlier suddenly became tense and confrontational.

"It was very awful," Orion repeated, his voice calm, cool, and detached.

Without a word, the homeless violinist rolled up his sleeves, revealing his heavily tattooed arms as he stormed toward them in a ferocious manner. Clearly, he was ready for a fight. "Sorry, this man has issues with his mental health. If you want to brawl, take it up with him!"

Pause. Seraphina quickly backed away, taking a few steps before hastily leaving the scene. "Seraphina!" Orion called after her.

He hurriedly caught up with her and was unable to suppress a grin as he watched her retreat. Why is the running away?

This isn't like her.

Seraphina complained, "Why are you picking a fight with a random homeless man?"

Hearing the icy tone in her voice, Orion fell silent. After a few seconds, his deep voice broke the quiet.

It really was terrible."

He was simply telling the truth. As the CEO of Dros Group, should he really be expected to lie to please a homeless man? Absolutely not! He couldn't do that.

The Dominant CEO and the Homeless Vinist

Seraphina shot him a cold look and said, "Then why don't you go back and tell him that?"

Orion felt slightly offended, but since it was Seraphina, he let it slide..

Offended or not, it didn't matter to him.

"Fine. I'll listen to you. We won't go back. Isn't the river beautiful? Doesn't it remind you of a diamond. necklace?"

If my health hadn't been a concern, would I be afraid of that man?

It'hat a joke!

Seraphina smirked coldly. Haha! Coward!
