Inherit Billions

Chapter 460 Thomas Feels the Pressure

At the gathering, a few trivial words were exchanged before someone was sent to escort Steve back.

Since they couldn't secure the project immediately, a rivalry was bound to ignite between the Cross Group and the Dros Group.

With this hot potato now in Steve's hands, it was clear he wouldn't have any trouble finding a developer. Thus, a wave of relief washed over him.

After the event, the chill outside was palpable, the wind biting sharply against the skin.

Thomas had gone back to retrieve Seraphina's coat from the private room.

Standing at the entrance, she awaited his return. Her slender waist and long legs accentuate her striking yet icy demeanor. Her expression remained unreadable.

Orion's unexpected appearance had undoubtedly disrupted her plans. Securing the project had seemed like a straightforward task; the real challenge lay in its execution. But Orion had obstructed her from the start.

How could she remain calm amidst such chaos?

As she wrestled with her next steps, the sound of approaching footsteps reached her ears.

It might be Thomas.

A warm coat enveloped her shoulders, the comforting blend of warmth and the scent of tea wrapping around her and interrupting her thoughts.

Seraphina frowned, instantly recognizing the figure behind her.

She glanced back and saw Orion.

The glow from the entrance illuminated his features, casting them in deep and exquisite relief; not a single aspect of him was flawed.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Orion had always been handsome-his face capable of deceiving anyone.

Without hesitation, she shrugged off his coat, clearly unwilling to associate with him.

However, Orion halted her movement. He grasped her wrist with a firm yet gentle grip. His eyes were dark.

"It's cold. Put it on."

His command was succinct.

Seraphina looked up, pulling her hand away and opting not to follow his suggestion. Instead, she smiled lightly. "Mr. Dros, I'm surprised you possess such gentlemanly charm."

Orion caught the tone of her mockery, causing a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth as he shifted the Topic.

"What made you think of investing in real estate?"

Her decision had taken him by surprise as well.

Seraphina replied coolly, "And you?"

Orion lowered his gaze for a moment, then a smile flickered in his eyes.

"Those who dare to take risks are the ones who triumph in peril."

With their eyes locked, he realized that Seraphina was very much like him.

They weren't mere capital-holding landlords; they were daring adventurers.

In that moment, joy surged within him-the girl he admired was indeed one of his kind.

Seraphina pursed her lips and said, "There's also a chance it could all fall apart."

The night was dim, enveloping them in an ink-like darkness.

Orion watched her quietly, the silence stretching between them before he spoke, his voice heavy with

concern.

"The costs for this project are too high. If you want to enter the real estate market, it would be wise to select more viable projects."

Her tone was filled with unwavering amusement, and her expression remained indifferent.

"Mr. Dros, no formidable negotiator would ever begin with the phrase 'you're still young. Your strategy is futile; I'm determined to secure this project. Orion's gaze turned suddenly intense.

He had underestimated Seraphina.

Orion had never been able to see through her. Ever since their divorce, he felt that Seraphina had completely slipped from his grasp.

The woman who had once been submissive had now found the strength to challenge the entire Dros empire.

After a moment of silence, his tone softened. "This concerns the broader interests of my company. I won't back off."

However, a part of him hesitated, thinking that if she genuinely desired it, it might not be impossible.

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and declared defiantly, "I won't yield either. Let's see who has the better skills."

Just then Thomas arrived and trotted to deliver Seraphina's coat

"Ms. Cross and Mr. Dros?"

Seraphina efficiently removed Orion's coat and tossed it back to him.

Thomas, perceptively, helped her put on her coat without her needing to lift a finger.

Watching their intimate interaction, Orion's eyes narrowed, a coldness settling in his gaze as he fixed it on Thomas.

An icy glint flashed through them as they fell upon Thomas.

In just a glance, Thomas felt a chill deeper than the evening air.

He shivered involuntarily.
