Inherit Billions

Chapter 334 Lowly

Fiona's eyes grew cold. She grabbed a nearby bucket of tools and poured an entire bucket of water over Lucinda

It was oddly satisfying!

Suddenly, she heard Lucinda scream from inside. "My clothes!"

Lucinda stood there and soaked to the bone. She miserably leaned against the wall. Hugging her drenched self, she whimpered, her cries becoming more pitiful.

"Fiona, how am I supposed to go out like this?"

All the guests that showed up at the party were high society elites, heirs of wealthy families. If she appeared in such a sorry state, she would surely be laughed at and never be able to lift her head again. Fiona sneered coldly, her voice sharp and cutting.

"Why don't you run to Orion for help? Isn't this your perfect chance?

She was practically forcing her to face humiliation.

Seraphina frowned. Just as she was debating whether to step in and help, something caught the corner of her eye.

Orion was chatting with Lucius on the other side, looking relaxed.

Forget it. Lucinda was already pitiful enough. Helping her wouldn't hurt.

Seraphina waved her hand at him.

"Orion, someone over here is looking for you."

The moment Orion saw Seraphina, he lost all interest in his conversation with Lucius.

He turned and headed straight toward her.

Lucius was speechless. He experienced the pain of abandonment once more.

Bro, why am I always the one being left out and wronged by you?

Fine. Let's see what Seraphina needs from Orion this time.

The moment Seraphina spoke, the sisters inside fell completely silent.

She hadn't made any attempts to hide herself. Fiona and Lucinda must have seen her.

Seraphina didn't care. She took her time, stepping back slowly until she reached the corridor's corner.

Orion's expression was tender as he asked, "You called for me?"

Seraphina shook her head. She casually pointed toward the interior of the corridor.

With that, she walked away. Her high heels clicked as she left.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

That was as much help as she could offer.

Lucius and Orion both watched her leave in surprise.

Orion frowned and glanced at Lucius. He signaled him and pushed him forward to check things out.

What on earth is going on in there?

Lucius was just as confused. When they moved toward the corner, they found a woman, fragile and drenched, huddled against the wall. She was shaking, crying quietly, but trying her best to suppress her sobs.

Her hair was soaked, and she looked utterly miserable.

Across from her was the bathroom.

No one was to be seen from the surroundings.

This had all happened at Lucius' birthday party. He had no idea how to explain such a situation to anyone.

For a moment, he stood in shock and glanced over at Orion.

"Orion, this....

Just moments ago, Seraphina had walked out from this very spot.

Could Seraphina have been responsible!

It's totally something she would do!

Orion's face darkened. He immediately recognized the woman as Lucinda, the one Clarke had tried to push on him.

As for why she ended up like this, he didn't care to know.

What troubled him was the reason Seraphina had invited him over

What did any of this have to do with me?

Both men stood there without making a move. Lucius, being a married man, couldn't afford to get involved with a woman drenched head to toe in water. People could twist that story any number of ways. And as for Orion, he had no intention of getting involved.

The air remained heavy and silent for a full minute.

Lucinda's eyes were swollen from crying. She stayed huddled in the corner, too afraid to stand.

She turned and looked in Qrion's direction. Her expression was filled with desperate helplessness.

Please, help me, she pleaded softly.

Her drenched trembline fuur lanked on nitishle that

For a brief moment, silence filled the space.

Lucius sighed in deep relief. Thankfully, this woman wasn't targeting

Orion's eyes remained grim and cold. His gaze was not even resting on the woman before him.

His thin lips pressed tightly together. His face was dark and icy, though there was a barely perceptible. sadness in his eyes. His mind seemed far away, lost somewhere else entirely.

Inside the banquet hall, laughter and joy filled the air.

Who would have imagined the scene unfolding here?

Lucius nudged Orion instinctively, silently asking him what they should do.

Orion furrowed his brow slightly. Lucius cleared his throat.

"Orion, what should we do about this?"

Lucinda's soft sobbing continued relentlessly. Her sorrowful gaze fixed on Orion.
