Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion)

Chapter 376 You Think You Could Compete with Her?

Orion's gaze flickered with a hint of disdain and indifference as he lifted his eyes to look at her.

"You were dismissed from Cross Group. You should know the reason. Dros Group won't hire someone who couldn't even pass the internship. And, to be honest, don't ever compare yourself to Seraphina, You two are worlds apart." His words were blunt, with no regard for Lucinda's pride. Her face turned pale in an instant.

Even Ken felt a twinge of pity for her.

Surprisingly, Lucinda didn't leave. She stood there, her eyes filled with a helpless, pitiful look as she clutched her hands tightly.

"But Mr. Ramóna said... Ms. Cross is too overbearing. You sent your sister away for her and your mother too to be with her. Haven't you considered the consequences at all?"

Standing off to the side and already drenched in sweat, Ken trembled as he watched.

Lucinda's presence completely ruined Orion's good mood. His gaze turned cold and heavy-a chill even Kery couldn't withstand.

She was convinced of her own insight. Lucinda tried to analyze the stakes and refused to believe that a businessman who valued profit like Orion would remain unmoved. Ramona had hinted that she should show up more often around Orion and develop their relationship. Didn't that imply she was a more suitable match for Orion than Seraphina? The office fell into a brief, chilling silence.

Orion's gaze bore into her, cold and penetrating. He casually rubbed his brow with a gesture that carried a hint of arrogance and menace. Suddenly, Lucinda felt a wave of unease.

He let out a soft, mocking laugh, his eyes icy. "Do you truly believe you're deserving of comparison to Seraphina? You're not worthy." Lucinda's expression faltered. She looked up in panic, about to explain herself, but Orion didn't give her

the chance.

His next words drove her straight into despair.
