Inherit Billions Novel by Larissa Pearce

Chapter 11



Chapter 11 She Had Blocked Him

The already buzzing gossip exploded even more. It featured the respected private reporter and Seraphina, the ex-wife who was in a weakened position. She defended herself during the day with reasonable arguments without wasting people’s time.

The photo of Orion and Jessica hinted at the real reason for their divorce-he cheated.

Who’s morally corrupted now, huh?

Public opinion changed fast. Seraphina’s innocence became clear, and the Dros family faced a scandal they couldn’t clean up as more and more public accounts retweeted the photo.

Orion had planned to relax with friends, but the overnight news hit him hard. Even the company’s stock was dropping.

Early next morning, Orion sat in his office, tense. His assistant, Ken, stood nervously, not even daring to breathe.

“Who said to post that message from the company account?” Orion asked through gritted teeth, his eyes sharp

It was Mrs. Dros’s orders. She said she told you,” Ken explained.

Bang! Orion swept everything off his desk in one go, causing the items to crash to the floor.

“Since when does she run things here? Fire everyone in PRI” Orion’s voice turned icy.

Ken trembled. “Yes, sir.”

“Get those online posts down now!” Orion’s eyes flashed with anger.

Ken braced himself, his head lowered. “We tried Twitter, but they won’t let us take them down. They say it’s trending and can’t be removed yet.”

Orion’s face darkened more as he stared at the intimate photo of him and Jessica.

I don’t remember ever being with her!

To Mr. Drost

Does Seraphina think I did this?

Is he behind this?

Orion’s expression tightened as his gaze grew cold. Right then, his phone rang; it was Theresa calling. He hung up directly.

She caused this scandal right after the divorce.

Would Seraphina have taken the blame if she didn’t find ‘Starry Sky’?

Upon this thought, Orion’s expression turned even gloomier.

“Tell Seraphina to delete those posts. Isn’t this enough embarrassment?” Lucas sounded angry.

“Orion, bring that b*tch back. How dare she do such a thing! She needs a lesson!” Theresa’s infuriated voice came through.

Orion spoke with his eyes closed and his voice cold. “Did she do anything wrong? It was Hannah who took ‘Starry Sky! Why frame Seraphina for it

He was mad Seraphina responded so coldly online. It was like there was no turning back between them.

Even if Seraphina hadn’t reacted, am I supposed to watch her being framed?

Does she not trust me at all?

He was angrier at Theresa for accusing Seraphina so easily.

It’s like second nature to her!

Disgruntled, Theresa shot back, “How would I know that Hannah took it? Wasn’t it always in your safe? Who else would take it aside from her?”

“It’s not too late if you apologize now!” Orion growled. He knew they had to act within six hours in a PR crisis.

“What? Me, apologize? That b*tch should apologize. A penniless, unknown ingrate, dragging us into this mess! Bring her back, and I’ll give her a piece of my mind!”

“We’re divorced…”

Orion hung up. He rubbed his brows, his expression dark as he felt irritated.

Orion called Seraphina, but she didn’t pick up, which he had expected. She had blocked him.

Orion slammed his phone down and turned to Ken with a cold gaze.

“Find out where Seraphina is. I want answers in fifteen minutes.”
