Inherit Billions

The Best Outcome

Orion took a deep breath. He swallowed his rising rage and refrained from lashing out at his innocent assistant. "You can go."

Ken was relieved. He simply walked away, then hesitated and returned.

He solemnly reported, "Mr. Dros, Mr. Ramona is here.

Orion frowned slightly but said nothing. He nodded in acknowledgment.

As soon as Ramona entered, he took a seat on the couch. Meanwhile, Theresa stood beside him, her expression clearly displeased.

"Grandpa and Mom, what are you here?"

Theresa shot her son a look of reproach.

"It's been days. Your sister's gone, your dad's on a business trip, and you haven't come home. Are we not allowed to check on you?" Ramona coughed and pressed his lips together.

"Get ready for having dinner with us tonight. I've arranged for a meal with the Crosses."

Orion's frown deepened, and he asked, "The crosses?"

Ramona's decision seemed abrupt and caught Theresa off guard. She voiced her dissatisfaction. immediately.

"Why should we have dinner with them? A group of playboys is now encircling Seraphina. I even sent photos to Orion." "Mom," Orion said, his expression darkening as he cut her off.

Ramona shot Theresa with a stern glance.

Theresa awkwardly restrained her agitation, clenching her teeth in frustration and deeply unwilling to accept it.

Ramona took a deep breath. His voice was raspy as he spoke.

"Orion, you and Seraphina need closure. When Seraphina got into trouble earlier, you risked everything and offended those pirates. I know you care about her, but whether she feels the same way is another story.

"We've lost half of our shipping fleet in the process, but the Crosses are on our side in business. If we can reconcile, it would be the best outcome for both families."

Ramona was a sharp businessman, never one to make a losing deal.

He knew Orion still had feelings for Seraphina. With Seraphina's family background, the Droses could even afford to make some concessions. The benefits of an alliance between their families far outweighed any gains from standing alone. BB ONôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

The Best Outcome

Orion remained silent for a moment, then grunted in response.

He knew it wouldn't be that easy, but it had been a long time since he had last seen her.

Theresa, on the other hand, stood there fuming, practically ready to stomp her feet from being ignored.

"Ramona, how could you let Seraphina marry into our family again? Her personal life is a mess! Everyone online knows she's flirting with men left and right. If we take her back as our daughter-in-law, we'll be a laughing stock!" "Shut up!" Ramona's voice thundered, and his face was dark with anger.

"Since when do you get to be picky about the daughter of the Crosses?"

Ramona's outburst stunned Theresa into silence.

As it was, she had little standing in the Dros household, She has lived in constant fear ever since she and Hannah lost Ramona's prized smoking pipe. With Hannah sent off to who knows where, she didn't even have an ally left to confide in..

Now being chastised in front of Orion-who stood by without saying a word and watched coldly from the side-only made her feel even more uncomfortable. Her hatred for Seraphina deepened as a result.

After a pause, Orion gave an order to Ken.

"Take Mrs. Dros back to the estate. She won't be attending dinner tonight."

Theresa stood frozen in disbelief.

Ramona nodded in agreement and chimed in. "That's a good idea. We can't afford to lose this opportunity to make peace with the Crosses."

They paid no mind to Theresa's feelings.

Orion's dismissal of her left Theresa seething as she stormed out, her face twisting in anger.
