Inherit Billions

Chapter 392 Jealousy

Finished

Orion took a drag from his cigarette. His demeanor radiated a cold, rebellious charm. He leaned back, the air around him tinged with an aloof elegance.

"Do you think I'm a failure?" he asked, his tone casual yet cutting.

"I wouldn't say that," Aiden quickly denied, feeling the weight of Orion's gaze.

"ed to ask you something," Orion said, his gaze sharpening.

"Go ahead," Aiden replied, feeling a knot tighten in his stomach.

Orion scrutinized Aiden's expression with serious intent and asked, "Do you often contact her privately?"

Aiden's face went pale; he understood Orion's implication all too well.

Could it be that his interactions with Seraphina tonight had made Orion jealous?

Adjusting his glasses, Aiden replied, "Rarely. You're always there whenever we meet."

He needed to clarify the situation-Orion's inability to win a woman over wasn't his fault.

Orion, ever astute, could see right through Aiden's words.

Haha! So she had been trying to drive him mad all night? That made sense now.

He invited the humilation on his own for the later part of the evening.

Orion fiercely extinguished the cigarette with his fingers; his fingertips turned white from the pressure.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Raising an eyebrow at Aiden, he asked, "The collaboration project with Wilson-it's losing value the longer it drags on, isn't it?"

Aiden nodded, urgency creeping into his voice. "I'll push them to expedite the process."

Orion stood up and gave Aiden's shoulder a light pat.

"No rush. We just wrapped up a significant issue; let the scientists have a break. They deserve to relax a little."

Aiden remained silent, a bit taken aback by the unexpected advice.

The next day at the Cross Mansion.

Justin's delightful vacation was nearing its end. He had received over a dozen messages from the production crew, yet he wished he could linger for a few more days. However, Emeris kicked him out the door. Seraphina waited for him in the car and offered, "I'll drive you to the office."

Justin frowned and asked, "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"Sivir gave me a day off!" she chirped.

The moment Justin stepped outside, he perked up, transforming back into the aloof movie star that everyone admired.

As they approached the entrance, a sweet-looking, slender actress waved enthusiastically at him, her energy infectious.

Justin chuckled and waved back.

Seraphina raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "Who's that?"

With a casual glance, Justin replied, "My new girlfriend"

Seraphina was stunned.

How many girlfriends is this for him now?

Familiar with Justin's style, Seraphina knew that his so-called girlfriends were merely new talents from his agency, used to stir up a little gossip and gain media attention.

That was why he changed girlfriends so frequently he was merely a tool for promotion.

Michael hadn't expected to see both siblings together. Justin was lounging casually on the sofa, lazily perusing a script.

Every year, he managed to star in one film, striking the perfect balance between visibility and mystery, solidifying his status in the industry.

Seraphina only intended to tag along for the excitement, but it seemed someone was eager for her arrival.

After some light banter, there was a knock at the door.

"Boss, Henry says he has something important to discuss."

Hearing Henry's name, Seraphina felt a brief jolt of surprise.

She had been so busy lately that she had nearly forgotten about him.

From the start, he had played the charming game of feigned concern, but she had never responded to his messages. Eventually, he had stopped reaching out altogether. The thought of Orion's face paired with Henry's overly sissy demeanor made her wince.

Just as she considered slipping away, Michael had given his consent to the assistant. The door swings open.

Well, it was too late to hide now.

She shot a glance at Michael, who looked rather innocent in this mess. After all, wasn't Henry's patron none other than Seraphina herself?

Justin sat back and watched the unfolding drama in silence, perfectly adopting the role of a mere bystander.

"Hello, Mr. Michael. Oh, Ms. Dros, you're here too!" Henry exclaimed, his voice laced with feigned surprise.

He had almost reached a professional level.

It seemed his time in the set had paid off.

She smiled and replied, "Henry, you've been getting quite a few endorsements lately, haven't you?"

He nodded eagerly, though the shadows of concern lingered just beneath the surface. Still, his excitement won over any sadness he felt.

He approached her, playfully tugging at her sleeve.

"Yes, it's all thanks to Ms. Dros's help. I've really missed you."
