Inherit Billions

Grudge

Hannah hesitated for a moment before recovering her usual disdainful expression. She snorted coldly and mocked, "It's bad luck running into you everywhere."

"I feel the same." Seraphina replied with a smile.

Hannah raised an eyebrow and asked, "What gives you the right to say that? Others might not know your true nature, but do you think you can erase the past and start over? You're just a lowlife, carrying that stench of poverty wherever you go."

Seraphina smirked. She didn't turn around but turned on the faucet with a swift, deliberate motion. The water flowed steadily, and no one knew the meaning behind her actions.

Perhaps she didn't want others to hear what she was saying?

"Ms. Dros, you should be grateful that I don't hold past grievances against you. Don't come looking for trouble." Her voice was icy, yet the smile on her face made her appear almost gentle.

"What did you say? You dare to warn me? I'm the heiress of the Dros family. Who do you think you are? You're nothing after you leave us!"

Hannah glared at Seraphina with an ugly expression, and she became bolder in Orion's absence.

Hannah, the heiress of the Dros family, who once wielded her power over the household, had always looked down on her sister-in-law from the depths of her being. Her deeply ingrained arrogance gave her an inflated sense of superiority, which made her forget herself. With her humble background, Seraphina never deserved equal standing or respect in the family.

Could she help her family in terms of business? Or could her family offer them any support?

For three years, Hannah made Seraphina handwash her clothes, berating her when they were ruined, even demanding Seraphina fetch her water, and redoing tasks if they were unsatisfactory.

Seraphina's tolerance and silence repeatedly led Hannah to believe that she was destined for subservience, and she endured it all.

Even after the divorce, Hannah believed Seraphina should never talk back, always remaining inferior.

Seraphina snickered and wore a mocking smile on her face.

"Haha! You didn't say that when you were desperate to marry my brother, did you? Did you forget how shameless you were, crying and begging to marry Orion, a walking blood bank and organ donor? That's your glorious history!" Hannah tried to provoke her by talking about the past. Seraphina's smile faded, her expression turning cold.

"Ms. Dros, I wasn't shameless back then; I was blind. If you keep bringing up the past, I'll have to start holding grudges."

Hold grudges?

"Am I supposed to be scared? If you have what it takes, bring it on! Ahhh" Hannah suddenly let out a sharp scream.

A glass of cold water splashed onto Hannah's face and clothes, freezing her expression.

Seraphina calmly set down the decorative bottle in the sink, dusting off her hands. The look in her eyes was calm as she stated, "You asked for it."

"How dare you..."

Hannah was livid, and her body shook with rage. Her dress was haute couture and came straight from Dior, but it was ruined. Although not as exclusive as Seraphina's custom-made gown, it was still a coveted piece, worth seven figures and envied by many celebrities. Now it's been destroyed!

Seraphina smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes. She challenged, "Do you think I'll tolerate you like before? From now on, every time you provoke me, I'll pay you back. We'll settle both new and old scores!"

Hannah shivered when she saw the cold, piercing look in Seraphina's eyes. She started to feel`a pang of

fear.

At this moment, she couldn't think much. How could someone of her status, always admired and pampered by others, be the target of bullying at this party?

How could she leave the restroom in a soaked state now?

Her backup dress was nowhere near as exquisite and expensive as this one!

Gritting her teeth, she glared at Seraphina and nearly lost her mind with anger. Hannah declared, "Seraphina, I won't let you get away with this!"

She took a step forward and raised her hand high.

Hannah was prepared to demonstrate her capabilities to Seraphina.
