Inherit Billions

Chapter 339 Stubborn

Theresa was quite pleased with Lucinda-gentle, mild tempered, and simple to control. Orion frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"

Lucinda freezes awkwardly. Theresa was playfully scolding her son from the side.

She smiled and explained. "I invited Lucinda over. After all, our families have been working together for a long time; we should have had more interaction long ago. Lucinda's here to relax and might stay for a few days. Orion, you should show her around and make sure she has fun."

Orion said nothing. When he lifted his head, he saw Ramona standing on the second-floor railing. watching him.

"Come upstairs for a talk."

In the study, Ramona sat behind his desk. The old man's expression was cold and stern.

"I had made my intention very clear over the phone," Romano said.

"I disagree," Orion replied bluntly.

Ramona's face darkened. He insisted, "Seraphina-if it weren't for the Crosses behind her, I wouldn't have agreed to you two getting back together. And now, even after you nearly sacrificed your life for her, she remains unmoving! What about our family reputation!" The study fell into a heavy, oppressive silence, cold and terrifying.

Orion didn't back down. His gaze was cold and resolute

"Our family reputation is less important than Seraphina."

"What did you say?"

Ramona's voice rose, shaking with fury. His breathing quickened, and his expression contorted in rage.

Orion's eyes were sharp, dark as night.

"If it's not Seraphina, then it won't be anyone. That woman out there will never replace her, and she doesn't deserve to be compared to Seraphina." Bang!

Ramona stared at his retreating figure, his face twisting with anger. The most promising heir of the Droses. -daring to risk it all for a woman?

When Orion came downstairs, Theresa believed Ramona had made his intentions clear and that Orion wouldn't disregard them.

"Orion, why don't you stay here for a few days? You can show Lucinda around."

Lucinda stood on the side. She was a little tense. Lucinda tried to imitate Fiona, striving to appear graceful and ladylike, but she couldn't quite pull it off. Orion glanced at her, said nothing, and walked straight out the door.

Unwilling to let things slide, Theresa called after him again. "Orion, are you going to ignore your grandfather's words too?"

Orion stopped in his tracks and asked, "Do you still want to see Hannah?"

The air turned frigid.

Theresa's expression darkened. Her own son was using her daughter to warn her?

Despite not fully understanding what they meant, Lucinda could sense the tension.

She quickly stepped forward to ease the situation.

"Mrs. Dros, Mr. Orion is very busy. I can explore on my own. There's no need to trouble him."

Theresa forced a smile and patted her hand. She said, "You're so considerate."

Orion said nothing and left without looking back.
