Ch. 541..545: Inherit Billions Chapter 541-545

Chapter 541 True Love

Lucius, a grown man, should have had a real duel with Kaveh. Instead, it ended up looking like some petty argument between bitter rivals. The whole thing felt so off, no matter how you looked at it! Seraphina took a deep breath, awkwardly denying it. "I wasn't laughing."

Though her smile was barely contained.

Wilson moved to a nearby chair, sitting down. "You don't mind, do you?"

He didn't want to be too far from her but also feared that overhearing other people's private matters could be uncomfortable.

It was easy to feel comfortable around someone like him.

Lila, a little embarrassed, quickly waved her hand.

"No, no. It's fine. I'm just grateful to Mr. Rockwell for earlier."

Wilson became a well-known figure due to the scandal that had once spread rapidly.

Kaveh looked from Wilson to Seraphina, sighed, and then turned to Lila.

"You don't need to thank him. He did it for Seraphina, not for us."

A thick-skinned guy like Kaveh wasn't going to pretend to be grateful.

Seraphina shot Kaveh a look, then smiled at Lila.

"Who would've thought this season would be so eventful?"

No one expected them to get together since they barely interacted in the show.

Lila smiled, seemingly unsure of how to respond.

Kaveh, however, was completely at ease.

"It's been lively, but too bad you missed it. I heard that you left because of Henry."

Of all things to bring up, why would you mention such an upsetting memory?

Seraphina pursed her lips and shot him a cold glance.

She wouldn't be putting up with him now if it weren't for their past stranding on the same island. Why choose to mention that of all things?

"Haha, you think I have nothing better to do? There are so many important matters at the company waiting for my decisions!"

Kaveh twitched his lips, chuckling awkwardly.

"Actually, we were planning to keep this between us for a little while," Lila interrupted. "After all, we are just being together for a short time, and if anything changes...

She was being cautious, and Seraphina completely understood her reasoning.

But Kaveh interrupted, his tone more serious than before. "I wanted to tell the whole world the first day. Don't worry so much. We're going to make it to the end!"

There was a seriousness and sincerity in his expression that hadn't been there before.

In that moment, Seraphina believed him. He was truly sincere.

Looking at the two of them, Seraphina couldn't help but feel moved-she was both envious and a little bitter.

"But when did this all start?"

Kaveh glanced at Lila. "Can I say?"

Lila gave him a playful glare, then smiled and nodded.

Kaveh grinned and began, "I started pursuing her on the first day we met."

Seraphina nearly dropped her jaw.

Coming here had certainly been full of surprises!

"Of course, she ignored me at first and even called the cops, accusing me of harassment."

Kaveh chuckled awkwardly as he said this.

Seraphina and Wilson exchanged a glance. For them to end up together after such an encounter? It was no small feat!

Lila seemed a bit displeased by his explanation, so she took over the conversation.

"He's wonderful. He personally prepares my breakfast and dinner every day. When Lucius causes trouble, Kaveh is the first to rush out. He always puts my feelings first. Before the show even ended, I knew I couldn't think clearly anymore-he was all I could think about. So we got together."

It sounded a bit crazy.

It seemed like a rash decision. She should have waited until the show was over to clear her mind, but she didn't.

But she knew one thing-he wasn't someone who would lie about his feelings.

Lila was clear about her feelings. She had fallen for Kaveh, a year younger than her but so thoughtful and reliable.

She trusted her heart and didn't keep him guessing.

Lila had no regrets about being with him.

That impulsiveness and passion? It would last a lifetime.

It was the best decision she had ever made.

Upon exchanging glances. Seraphina realized that Lucius had no chance.

No matter how hard Laucius tried, he couldn't compete with the spark between Kaveh and Lila as their eyes met. The air was thick with chemistry, deep affection radiating between them.

She lowered her gaze and smiled softly before clapping her hands.

"Wow, that's beautiful. I hope you two are always this happy."

Their relationship had come together so quickly; all they could feel was the intensity of their love.

But perhaps their love would deepen and endure over time, even if their passion faded and they faced rumors or the trivialities of everyday life.

Seraphina believed it would.

The two of them held each other's hands so tightly, it was enough to blind any single soul in sight.

Seraphina decided she didn't want to stay any longer. She gave a small smile, made an excuse, and left with Wilson.

As soon as they stepped outside, before they even reached the car, she heard her name being called. Seraphina turned to see Lila jogging over; her dress lifted slightly as she approached with a smile.

"I need to talk to you privately."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, wondering if Lila had taken Lucius's nonsense seriously.

Was she going to ask her to explain that she and Kaveh had nothing going on?

The more she explained, the more obvious it would become.

As she hesitated, Wilson walked over. He suggested, "Let's head to the car; there are too many people here."

Seraphina nodded in agreement. It was probably for the best.

The driver had been considerate enough to park a little distance away, leaving the two of them alone. After a brief silence, Seraphina spoke hesitantly, "Actually, Kaveh and I really don't have anything-" Lila smiled. "I know. He told me a while ago."

Seraphina froze, then relaxed her expression. Lila could have said that sooner.

"He said he used to fall for you."

Lila spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Seraphina frozen again, unable to smile.

Was Kaveh out of his mind?

Lila observed her discomfort and the tension in her posture, as though she was on the verge of anger. She patted her hand gently in reassurance.

"I know he had a one-sided crush. You're kind, beautiful, with a wonderful temper, a strong background. and impressive skills. Who wouldn't like you? If I were a guy, I'd like you too!"

Seraphina didn't know what to say to that.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" she asked.

Lila's tone shifted, becoming more serious. "I'm planning to hire more people. Right now, it's just me in the firm, and I'm overwhelmed. If I had some professionals to help, I think we'd get a lot more done?" Seraphina smiled, relieved.

So it was something important.

"That sounds good. You take the lead on this; it's your call."

Lila shook her head. "You're the investor, and you have experience. Your opinion matters a lot. I can't move forward until you approve.

Seraphina smiled again and said, "Alright, I fully approve."

It was a small investment for her, nothing too significant.

But for Lila, it was her dream, her passion, something worth dedicating her life to.

Lila earnestly shared more of her thoughts, and Seraphina carefully offered her feedback.

In the end, they reached an agreement, and Lila happily returned to her hotel.

As they got into the car, the driver asked, "Miss, shall we head home?"

Just as Seraphina was about to answer, the door beside her opened again. Wilson stepped in, a smirk on his face.

"I hope you don't mind me tagging along."

Seraphina chuckled and said, "Of course not."

She turned to the driver and said, "First, drop Mr. Rockwell off at the Hilton."

Wilson spoke up before she could continue. "Take me to Elysian Park."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, surprised. Elysian Park was the rich part of town-exclusive, expensive homes that were worth a fortune.

It was on par with the mansion where Orion lived.

Wilson smiled lightly, as if it were nothing.

"I won't be going back to New Town for a while. A friend of mine told me that living in hotels won't help me meet a girlfriend, so I bought a house."

Seraphina felt her face heat up, uncertain if he was serious about pursuing her or if the house meant he planned to stay in Eldoria for a long time.

Chapter 543 To Be Closer to You

Neither of them spoke until they reached Elysian Park.

The only sound was the soft hum of an old song, attempting to ease the tension in the air. The silence stretched between them.

"We've arrived, Mr. Rockwell," the driver reminded. "The entrance is restricted to outsiders."

Wilson smiled gently, his demeanor warm and polite. He turned to look at Seraphina.

"Don't feel like talking with me?"

Seraphina paused, shaking her head. "No, not really."

Wilson raised an eyebrow and asked, "Care for a quick visit?"

Finished

Before she could refuse, he hurried to add, "Little Dani asked me to bring you something from abroad. I haven't had the chance to give it to you yet, and it'd be perfect for you to take with you."

Seraphina hesitated for a moment. "What is it?"

If it was some kind of expensive jewelry, she'd rather not-

A smile tugged at the corners of Wilson's lips. He cleared his throat.

"It's something he made by hand. It's not worth much, but it's something you can't buy anywhere!"

Kids always love these kinds of gestures.

Wilson hadn't originally planned on giving it to her, thinking it wasn't impressive enough, but there was no other excuse.

Seraphina smiled brightly, nodding. "Sure."

It must be a sweet little gift made with love. She'd keep it close and cherish it.

Wilson exchanged a word with the man at the gate, and the driver smoothly entered the premises.

Seraphina suddenly remembered something. "Did little Dani get into a fight at school?"

Wilson raised an eyebrow.

"He participated in a youth intellectual competition for smart kids, but his arrogant speech led to a fight

with a boy who was five years older than him. Of course, he got beaten up."

Seraphina felt her heart ache for the boy.

"They must have been jealous of his talent!"

Wilson almost smirked, looking at her with a knowing expression.

"Your answer is exactly the same as Dani's, which is probably why he got beaten up."

Chapter 543 To Be Closer to You

Wilson's face grew serious. "He's fine. I've already had a word with him."

Finished

"He was just speaking the truth; no need to make such a big deal out of it, and calling the parents? That teacher is way too immature," Seraphina muttered under her breath.

Wilson watched her helplessly. He hadn't expected Seraphina to be so protective of Dani. She was really fond of the kid.

"The reason the teacher called his parents was to get an apology from the boy who hit him. Parents need to step in for that. But Dani had the bodyguard pretend to be his father and apologize to the victim. The teacher saw through it. Then he hired an old man who sold stuff by the school gates, and of course, the teacher caught on. Eventually, Dani hired a man who was eating at a fast food restaurant. Turns out that man was the teacher's father.

"Just like that, he drove the teacher crazy. In the end, they found my secretary's phone number from the school registry, and that's how I found out."

Seraphina's jaw dropped in surprise.

Little Dani, who usually seemed so clever, had completely failed to think things through at a crucial moment.

Didn't he know that hiring someone far from the school would be beneficial?

He still had so much to learn.

Lost in thought, the car finally stopped.

Wilson, ever the gentleman, opened the door for her. Seraphina stepped out and took in the

surroundings.

The air was fresh, and the environment was clean and inviting. The open space was lively yet peaceful, giving off a great first impression.

Wilson walked ahead, chatting casually.

"I know you usually stay in a duplex apartment, but I asked the developer, and both floors have been sold.

No matter how much you offer, the buyers won't sell. So, I had to settle for something else. It's not far from your place, though."

His unspoken implication hung in the air: he bought this place to be closer to her.

"My property development is already sold out. A few years ago, it was highly sought after. It was my first paycheck from Justin, which I used to buy as a gift for myself.

But fortunately, the surrounding area is still a bustling district. Elysian Park is one of the few developments. that maintained high property prices even during the market downturn."

After all, wealthy people wouldn't argue over a minor price difference, right?

Someone as renowned as Wilson, a prominent investor, didn't even blink before making the purchase.

At this thought, she was full of confidence in the Eldoria Bay project. She was determined to turn the real estate market around.

Wilson smiled and couldn't help but rub his forehead. Had she missed the point?

But then he looked at her with admiration.

"Truly, Ms. Cross, you have a keen grasp of the market."

Seraphina smiled and raised her chin.

"I've always been very interested in money-making industries!"

Wilson was speechless.

He moved forward, unlocking the door with his fingerprint and stepping aside. "Please, come inside." As soon as Seraphina stepped inside, she could feel that the home's decor was largely controlled by an automated smart system.

Wilson was quite interested in this area; otherwise, he wouldn't be eager to invest in the Al sector.

However, based on her knowledge, Druyton should be creating the most advanced smart home system. To have this system installed here, it must have taken quite a bit of effort.

Once inside, the system automatically recognized the owner. Two pairs of slippers, one for a man and one for a woman, appeared in the shoe cabinet.

"Welcome home, Master!"

Seraphina, wearing a thick coat with a form-fitting dress underneath, squatted down. Once she did, her clothes nearly touched the floor.

She paused for a few seconds, feeling lazy and not wanting to go any further.

However, in the next moment, Wilson unexpectedly kneeled before her, half-crouching to assist her in changing into her slippers.

Seraphina, feeling overwhelmed by his gesture, thanked him repeatedly, feeling quite guilty about Wilson's

warmth.

This kind of act was something she had grown accustomed to since she was young.

When she was little, Emeris would help her with her shoes, and as she grew older, it was her brothers who did it.

If it had been someone else, like Sivir or Justin, she wouldn't have had such a big reaction-that was just the treatment she'd received since childhood.

But Wilson...

She wasn't used to it.

However, Wilson adapted quickly. He stood up and smiled casually, "Come, the things are in the room." Seraphina took a deep breath.

She trusted Wilson's character, and her driver was right outside, so there was no way he would do anything inappropriate.

The house had a pure Etopian style-simple and elegant, yet giving off a very comfortable and relaxed feeling.

It was clearly designed by a world-renowned designer, and the interior decoration was flowing, perfectly fitting Wilson's personality.

Wilson opened the nearest room and gestured for her to have a look.

Seraphina smiled, feeling a bit excited.

Usually, homemade gifts would either be paintings or clay figurines.

But as soon as Seraphina walked in, she was startled; her face turned pale.

She stepped back in shock, and a large hand gently rested on her waist, warm and firm.

Once she regained her balance, the hand disappeared, as if it had only been there to prevent her from falling.

Seraphina stood frozen, staring at the sight before her, speechless.

Inside the room was a swimming pool, half outdoors.

But what startled her was that there was an alligator in the pool!

It was huge!

It took Seraphina a long time to calm herself. She glanced at Wilson, gesturing to the creature within.

She could barely believe it.

"Is this a mistake?"

Isn't this gift a little too fierce?

Wilson gave an apologetic smile and walked over to close the door, blocking her view.

"I didn't want to bring it to you at first; I was worried it might scare you, but Dani insisted on giving you a surprise."

Seraphina's face turned pale. "That's not much of a surprise."

She was just grateful her young and healthy body hadn't given her a heart attack.

Wilson is feeling deeply sorry. He walked over and gently hugged her, then released her and pulled her toward the living room.

"Elliot, get me a glass of warm water."

It seemed like Seraphina was genuinely frightened.

If he had known this would happen, he would have never brought her to see it, no matter what!

A cylindrical, white robot about 5 feet tall appeared and handed the water to Seraphina.

"Darling, drink some water."

Oh, the way this robot addressed me.

Seraphina looked up. The robot pretended to think for a moment and confirmed with a sweet voice, "Yes,

it's you. My dear Seraphina, drink some water."

Does this robot actually recognize me?

Wilson took the water, glanced at the robot, and said, "Go away."

The robot obediently turned and left.

Seraphina furrowed her brow. That way, the robot addressed me. Something felt off!

"This robot..."

My darling?

Wilson coughed a little. He was a little embarrassed, his face flushed.

"Sorry, I wasn't fully prepared. I shouldn't have invited you in. The robot's system needs to record special friends in order to respond more quickly, particularly when it is recognizing information. Well, I may have said too much."

He had forgotten that when he keyed in the information, he had absentmindedly introduced Seraphina. "My darling. The one I love."

The robot's response couldn't be a lie. It honestly reflected what it had been programmed to Seraphina. However, Seraphina's reaction was exactly what he had expected.

Wilson smiled and quietly reassured himself-it was fine; he could wait.

Seraphina finished the water in her glass. She stood up and smiled at him.

"It's almost time; I should get going." As for the gift, I really can't accept it. Should I send it back? Will Little Dani be really upset?"

She tried to forget the little awkward moment with the robot and steered the conversation toward the crocodile.

Wilson shook his head decisively.

"Don't worry, I've already spoken to him. Not everyone shares his interests. If you don't like it, I'll

temporarily have it handled by a professional animal management organization.

After all, he didn't want to keep a man-eating crocodile in his house.

Seraphina nodded repeatedly. That was good. She simply couldn't handle it.

She'd rather take a bunch of chrysanthemums, honestly!

Wilson walked her out of the house and apologized again. Clearly, he deeply regretted showing her that gift.

As soon as Seraphina got into the car on her way home, she felt much better.

She wasn't the petty type and quickly assured him she had forgiven him, as if it had never happened. After all, she really wanted to forget what had just happened!

The afterparty at the hotel ended.

The atmosphere was lively. Everyone posted group photos from the event, which immediately triggered a wave of nostalgia among fans of the show.

But on private social accounts, the most widely circulated wasn't just an ordinary group photo,

It was a short video.

Lucius transitioned from anger to restraint, eventually offering a humble apology, which Seraphina calmly accepted.

That was the most talked-about part.

Of course, the video eventually made its way to Orion's attention.

Chapter 546 Your Nephew Stole My Wife

In front of everyone, Lucius gave a slight bow.

"I spoke out of turn. I'm sorry, Seraphina. I acted impulsively. Please forgive me.

"I forgive you, but this is your only chance. Be mindful with your words next time."

Just those words make everyone silently speculate about the shift in Lucius's attitude and the calm threat in Seraphina's words.

The exchange was enough to establish a clear hierarchy between them.

Seraphina's poised, serene demeanor was utterly captivating.

She sat there, smiling, saying nothing overtly threatening, yet her presence commanded respect.

Even Lucius, a man of high status, had to apologize humbly for a slip of the tongue. It made others view Seraphina as untouchable.

Lucius knew the moment the video leaked, he would be in deep trouble. He was frantic, trying to block anyone who shared it.

His reputation was utterly ruined.

As the sun set and night fell, the sky darkened to a deep blue.

The city lights flickered on, like scattered stars in a river of light.

-Dros Group.

Orion stared at his social media account with only one thing on his mind. He was checking if Seraphina had posted any updates.

He came across a video that Aron had shared, which featured both Lucius and Seraphina, along with the caption, "Saint Cross Defeats Lucius!" "Saint Cross Defeats Lucius!"

Just as Orion was about to click on the video, Aron deleted it.

He directly asked Aron to send him the video. Aron quickly sent him the video and asked in fear.

"Lucius has been going crazy trying to find this video. Don't tell him I sent it to you."

Orion clicked on it.

It was less than ten seconds long, but he watched it twice.

It was a quick apology and an acceptance of it.

Lucius's humble demeanor didn't seem out of place. Anyone would seem small before Seraphina. What happened?

Orion asked, "What had Lucius done to offend her?"
