Inherit Billions

A Cunning Foe

Pierre pointed at Seraphina and admitted, "Yes, that's her."

Wilson's eyes lit up with interest.

"Pierre's temperament doesn't usually lend itself to having students. Ms. Cross, how did that happen?"

Seraphina gave a helpless smile and said, "It was a coincidence."

Pierre chuckled and explained, pointing to Wilson, "You're two years older than me and became my student because you lost to me in the World Hacker League Contest."

He then gestured toward Seraphina and explained, "And you became my student after beating me in the Etopia International Arena."

Wilson's smile deepened and she said, "Ms. Cross, you're interested in this field?"

Clearly, Seraphina was a career woman in the business world and the heiress from a renowned family.

Who would have thought she also knew how to code?

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, "That was in the past."

Wilson didn't press further. Pierre observed them both, his eyes flickering slightly.

"You two really have a special connection; you should definitely make the most of it!"

Seraphina rolled her eyes at him, annoyed by him being a busybody.

She turned her head toward Wilson and smoothly changed the subject.

"Where's Little Dani? Didn't he come with you?"

Wilson replied, "No, he's been avoiding his teacher lately."

Seraphina understood.

Standing a short distance away outside, despite his professional training, Ken couldn't help but feel surprised when he saw Wilson. Through the glass, he could see the three of them engaged in lively conversation.

A man?

Why is there a man?

Wait a minute-the man sitting next to Ms. Seraphina is Mr. Wilson?

Ken glanced up at the sky. The gloomy weather seemed to mirror his own mood.

When they left the castle that morning, they hadn't seen Wilson or his son. They all thought they were still

But who would've thought....

That guy had already laid a trap!

Ken couldn't help but feel a little down. For the first time, he began to question his own professional abilities.

He took a deep breath and was about to walk in. He couldn't let Seraphina stay there any longer.

It was too dangerous for her to be there.

Before he reached the door, his phone buzzed with a text from Seraphina.

"Wait outside. Don't come in."

That instruction sent his spirits plummeting.

Seraphina calmly put her phone away and smiled faintly at Pierre, who was speaking passionately. He vaguely reminded her of the spirited young prodigy he once was. After more than an hour, Pierre finally paused, his throat dry. Across from him, Seraphina and Wilson remained expressionless, occasionally nodding.

Haha, these two are such a terrible students!

Pierre knocked on the table and coughed lightly. He said, "Alright, I've got a lot of work to do. Aren't you two going to leave?"

Seraphina and Wilson stood up in unison. "Goodbye."

Without even bothering with pleasantries, they walked out.

Pierre snorted coldly, "Don't come looking for me next time!"

Seraphina couldn't help but laugh, her expression lively and mischievous.

"I'll keep that in mind."

Wilson glanced at her and smiled as well. "You're quite good at annoying people."

Seraphina's eyes sparkled with amusement. She replied, "His temper's odd; someone has to straighten himExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

out."

Wilson nodded in agreement.

As soon as they stepped outside, Ken rushed over.

"Ms. Cross, you finally came out. Mr. Dros worries you're starving because you haven't eaten."

Seraphina shot him a warning glance, her eyes light but filled with meaning.

Ken shrank back a little, feeling like his teeth ached.

He glanced at Wilson, coughed awkwardly, and stepped between them, separating the two.

"Mr. Rockwell, what a surprise to see you here. Ms. Cross was just visiting her mentor. What a coincidence, hahaha!"

Wilson walked on in silence, clearly not intending to respond.

Seraphina swore she wouldn't bring Ken along next time.

She gazed off at the scenery, even less inclined to engage with Ken's nonsense.

Ken didn't seem to mind. Seraphina was far casier to deal with than Orion, after all.

"Shall we take a picture? It's not every day Ms. Cross visits here; we should definitely capture the moment."

Seraphina hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"Alright, let's take one."

Ken pulled out his phone. Wilson had not walked off, but instead stood there, radiating a cool and distant aura. He seemed to be debating whether to leave when Seraphina called out to him. "Mr. Rockwell, would you care to join us?"

Wilson lowered his gaze for just two seconds before agreeing with a slight smile.

He stepped closer and leaned next to her.

Ken's face stiffened briefly but quickly recovered his composure.

Ms. Cross was just being polite to him-nothing more! I'm sure of this.
