Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion)

Chapter 177 Mr Stroudsburg

"Ms. Perez? What a coincidence!"

Jennifer forced a polite smile, masking her irritation from her last encounter with Seraphina, whom she had thoroughly embarrassed. The harsh words still stung.

She wasn't about to pretend it hadn't happened.

With Monica present, she didn't want to make a scene.

"Yes, it is quite a coincidence, Ms. Cross. I'm surprised that you would be interested in art exhibitions as well," Seraphina replied with a smile, sensing the coldness in Jennifer's tone. "Do you think all I care about is making money, Ms. Perez?" Seraphina asked with a raised brow.

Monica noticed the tension between the two.

She was about to intervene when the gallery owner hurried over.

"Mrs. Colombo and Ms. Cross, I apologize for the lack of hospitality. Have you found any paintings you like?"

Jennifer immediately spoke up.

"This painting is quite nice. Mrs. Colombo, if you like it, why don't I buy it for you as a gift?"

Monica paused with the offer, and a satisfied smile spread across her face.

"There's no need to go to such an expense. You're a guest."

Jennifer was generous, and she was always eager to please Monica. She wasn't about to let the opportunity slip away.
