Inherit Billions

Confrontation

Back at home, Seraphina chatted with her father and brother for a while before heading off to bed.

In the early hours of the next morning, Seraphina and Emeris arrived at the courthouse with the divorce papers in hand.

She dialed Orion’s number directly and said, “Orion, I’m at the courthouse now. Just come over.”

“Seraphina! Where were you yesterday? Do you have any idea how long I’ve been looking for you?” Even over the phone, Seraphina could sense Orion’s barely contained anger.

“Where I go is none of your business!” Seraphina snapped back.

Orion’s breathing grew heavier, like a beast barely holding itself back. His voice dropped low, seething, “I can’t leave the hospital right now. If you’ve got something to say, come here in person. Even if it’s for signing the divorce papers, you’ll have to do it here.”

Despite searching for Seraphina the entire night, Orion had never left the hospital.

He’d been spending nights in Jessica’s hospital room because the doctors had painted her condition as dire, making it sound like she could die at any moment. He couldn’t leave her side.

Years ago, when Orion was young, he had a phase where he dreamed of joining the military. Acting on impulse, he enlisted in the Marines.

Like many passionate young men, he quickly faced reality.

On a mission to clear out a Valoria cartel, Orion found himself in the enemy’s crosshairs. He was sure his life was over—until a fellow soldier threw himself in the line of fire, shielding Orion with his own body.

With his dying breath, the soldier made a final request, stating that he hoped Orion could take care of his sister.

That sister was Jessica.

Orion had made it his mission to care for her. He genuinely sees her as a sibling.

Jessica didn’t see it that way. She had no interest in being a sister without blood ties—what she really wanted was to become the mistress of the Droses.

Hearing Orion insist on signing the papers at the hospital, Seraphina suspected he was still hung up on the idea of getting her kidney.

She wasn’t worried. As long as she disagreed, no one could take it from her.

And now that both Jessica and Orion were at the hospital, Seraphina figured it was time to settle everything once and for all.

Seraphina hung up and turned to Sivir. She said, “I’m heading to the hospital. You don’t have to follow me.”

Sivir nodded as he trusted his sister’s judgment.

If it hadn’t been for her misguided love, Emeris might have already put her in charge of her own company, just like him.

“Alright, I’ll have people wait outside the hospital, just in case,” Sivir said.

“Good. And the things we prepared yesterday? They’ll come in handy.” With that, Seraphina stepped into the waiting luxury car and sped off.

Today wasn’t just about severing ties with the Droses—it was about helping Seraphina reclaim her dignity. Everything had been arranged.

Instead of taking the car to the hospital, Seraphina hailed a taxi and made her way to Jessica’s private room. Without knocking, she pushed the door open.

Inside, a group of doctors and nurses hovered around Jessica, nervously asking if she was feeling any discomfort.

Jessica’s eyes flickered when she saw Seraphina enter the room, and a bright smile immediately spread across her face.

“Seraphina, you’re finally here. I feel awful.”

Her voice was soft, filled with a pitiful, almost childlike vulnerability, as if she were some abandoned child.

Seraphina’s gaze remained cold as she looked at her. This woman might appear delicate, but Seraphina knew her well. Jessica was cunning and calculating—something Seraphina had learned the hard way over the past three years.

Seraphina smile. Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she asked, “If you’re feeling that bad, why not just die and get it over with?”

Jessica’s smile faltered, clearly not expecting such a blunt response. In the past, Seraphina might have hidden her disdain, but now? She wasn’t holding back.

The doctors and nurses around them were equally stunned. Mrs. Dros’ audacity was shocking.

Orion burst in, his eyes flashing with anger. He asked, “Seraphina, what did you just say?”

Seraphina grunted coldly and didn’t even acknowledge him. Her sharp gaze remained locked on Jessica. “Stop pretending. I don’t have time for your little act.”
