Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion)

Chapter 59 The Smoking Griffin

The room erupted in a murmur. All eyes turned to her

Bruce looked at her in confusion and asked, "What do you want that for?"

Seraphina smiled and said, "It looks nice, don't you think?"

"I don't think so."

To Bruce, it was just an ordinary pipe. What was so special about it?

Seraphina noticed Theresa and Hannah were glaring at her. She smiled slightly, meeting their gazes head-

1. on.

Both women were visibly startled; they knew she recognised the pipe.

When Seraphina was cleaning the chapel at night, Theresa once took the pipe out and placed it on a high shelf. She hoped Ramona would throw Seraphina out of the family for 'accidentally' breaking it. However, Seraphina hadn't touched it at all.

If it hadn't been for the surveillance cameras in the room, Theresa would have broken it herself and blamed Seraphina. It was a pity that her plan failed, and Ramona valued the pipe more than his life.

She never got another chance.

Hannah had gone to Stotan for gambling, which was why she had to smuggle the pipe for this auction. Seraphina repeatedly humiliated Hannah upon her return. Her loss of dignity was so severe that socialite circles almost shunned her.

She needed to reestablish her position in the social circle. She had to find an opportunity to become the centre of attention again. As the Dros family's eldest daughter, she had to always be in the spotlight!

The charity auction was the perfect opportunity to restore her image and maintain her 'heiress' persona.

Therefore, Hannah had to beg Theresa to secretly bring out the old man's pipe as an auction item. Its extraordinary value would make her the star of the event.

Those who recognised its value were wary of the Dros family patriarch and dared not bid, while those who didn't recognise it wouldn't bid anyway. So, her plan was flawless: put it up for auction and then buy it back herself. It was a perfect show, giving her both pride and substance.

However, they never expected to run into Seraphina here.

Theresa was clearly flustered. Seraphina had bid decisively, and their limit was 1.65 million. Neither woman had controlled the family's finances. They relied on monthly allowances from their husbands and had little personal savings. They lacked the confidence to keep bidding.

Seraphina's presence was unexpected. Theresa had assumed that even if there were bids, they wouldn't exceed 1.65 million, and certainly no one would outbid the Dros family. Seraphina was different.

She was there specifically to challenge them and the Dios family,
