Inherit Billions

A Country Bumpkin

Ever since Seraphina left the hospital, Orion had felt uneasy.

He thought she was just having a fit and didn’t really want a divorce. He wanted to confront her and make her admit she was wrong. If she did, he would tear up the divorce papers and welcome her back into the Dros famil

At the Dros villa, Seraphina and Olivia quickly packed their things.

They only took her driver’s license and some other personal documents, all fitting into a single handbag. She didn’t bother with clothes or jewelry, knowing there was plenty of that at the Cross family.

If it weren’t for the hassle of replacing those documents, she wouldn’t have set foot in this house again. As the two women came downstairs, they saw Theresa sitting by the front door on a chair, watching them. Seraphina and Olivia glanced at her and started to walk past, but Theresa suddenly called out, “Wait!”

Olivia glared at her.

hat now, old hag?

“Hmph!” Theresa snorted. “Open your bag. I want to check it.”

At this, Olivia was fuming. “What do you mean by that, you old witch?”

“What do I mean? I’m afraid you two might have sticky fingers and taken something that doesn’t belong to you!”

“How dare you!” Olivia was furious. If Seraphina hadn’t held her back, she would have lunged at the old woman.

“Alright, if she wants to check, let her check. Seraphina pulled Olivia back and tossed the handbag towards Theresa.

Theresa rummaged through it right in front of them, finding nothing, of course.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Well, old witch, can we leave now?” Olivia snatched the bag back with a triumphant smile.

Theresa, still unsatisfied, was annoyed to find nothing valuable missing.

She found it hard to believe that Seraphina didn’t take anything. Unable to stand Olivia’s smug look, she said spitefully, “The bag’s been checked, but who knows if you’ve hidden something on your bodies! I need to search both of you!”

“Don’t push it!” Olivia snapped angrily.

Even Seraphina frowned, irritated. “Theresa, I’m telling you one last time: I don’t care about anything from the Dros family!”

The more Seraphina spoke, the more Theresa pressed on. “Oh, you don’t care about the Dros family’s stuff? Then why did you marry in with such eagerness? think you’re just feeling guilty. You’re not leaving without a search!”

When Orion arrived home, he saw the two women tussling while Seraphina stood aside, exasperated.

“Enough! Stop it, all of you!” Orion shouted.

The three women froze, looking at him.

“Orion, you came home just in time. I suspect Seraphina and this woman have stolen from us. Help me. hold them down so I can search them!” Theresa, thinking her ally had arrived, pointed at Olivia.

“You’re talking nonsense!” Olivia retorted loudly.

Orion’s face darkened as he glanced at the impassive Seraphina. “There’s no need to search. Seraphina wouldn’t steal anything.”

She hadn’t spent a penny of the millions he’d given her why would she steal?

Theresa, hearing the certainty in his voice, reluctantly let go of Olivia.

After all, Orion was the future master of the Dros family, and his decisions were final.

Seraphina didn’t even look at Orion. She took Olivia’s hand and walked past them.

“Wait, Seraphina!” Orion called out suddenly. “If you’re willing to admit you were wrong, the Dros family will still welcome you.”

“Hmph!” Seraphina snorted. Tm just a country bumpkin. I wouldn’t dream of climbing up to the Dros family!”

With that, she left without looking back.
