Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion)

Chapter 208 Jennifer's Resolution

The atmosphere instantly darkened. An unspoken danger loomed, something Seraphina could sense without a doubt that, whoever was coming, they had ill intention. Running away now wasn't entirely out of the question.

If she fled, she would leave this danger lurking in the shadows, and those people would be ready to strike at any moment in the future.

For today, it would be better to settle things once and for all.

She was curious to see who had the audacity to make such a bold move against her.

After a moment's thought, she clicked her high heels. Then she walked forward, her steps unhurried and calm.

She stopped a few feet away from the flickering firelight.

Two burly men stood behind her, blocking any path of escape.

In the darkness of the night, the person stood in the shadow behind the wall, only faintly visible. Seraphina could barely make out the silhouette, let alone the features.

In this situation, Seraphina was at a significant disadvantage.

She could easily catch the smell of the person standing before her-a familiar perfume and the scent of a woman's cigarette she once favored.

At the party earlier, there had been only one woman wearing this particular fragrance, which was cold, assertive, and had a steady presence.

It fit perfectly with that person's style.

The person said nothing, and neither did Seraphina.

She could feel the intense gaze locked on her.

The atmosphere hung heavy in an eerie silence.

Seraphina almost became impatient while waiting. Despite this, the person standing across from Seraphina remained silent.

Were they trying to test her patience?

The cigarette was nearly burned out. The wind scattered the ash as it fell to the ground.
