Inherit Billions

What’s the Bet?

As Vampire and Werewolf took their final bows, Seraphina followed with a composed smile, dipping gracefully before stepping down the stage.

Fortunately, I haven’t forgotten the basics. I’m quite satisfied with my performance.

Vampire and Werewolf caught up to her. Werewolf clapped her on the shoulder. “Seraphina, why don’t you just join our group? We’d kick Ghost out for you!”

Seraphina lowered her head and chuckled lightly. “If Ghost heard that, he’d probably climb out of his sickbed just to fight you.”

Vampire, brimming with energy, chimed in, “Today was amazing! This arrangement was your creation, and besides Ghost, you’re the only one who fits with us so perfectly, Seraphina. It’s like seeing you from three years ago!”

Seraphina felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. It seemed like she’d missed out on so much of life’s brilliance in these past three years. But at least now, she wasn’t too late to catch up.

Werewolf, still refusing to give up, tried to persuade her again. “Seraphina, with you, we’d rock the music world!”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Just as Seraphina was ready to decline, Sarah walked in with a bright smile.

“You two, stop dreaming. Our Seraphina has her plans to start her new career.”

Sarah whisked Seraphina away from backstage. As soon as they stepped out, Olivia

enveloped Seraphina in a tight hug. “Seraphina, you were incredible! You’re my Goddess! You have no idea how excited everyone was. Your violin playing was amazing!”

Seraphina, exasperated yet amused, gently pried Olivia off her. Tonight’s unforgettable moments were all thanks to Hansen’s arrangements.

Thinking that Orion and Lucius might have already left, Seraphina, Sarah, and Olivia returned to the second floor, only to find Lucius and Orion seated beside Hansen and Mark. They all looked at her with expressions she couldn’t quite decipher.

Olivia, clearly annoyed, huffed and pulled Seraphina to sit next to Hansen. “Colombo, let’s do something fun. Watching certain people sit around is so boring.”,

Hansen spread his hands. “Of course, there are plenty of performances later.”

“I had no idea you played the violin, Seraphina. Why have ver seen this side of you at the Blues?” Lucius, unable to contain his curiosity, asked. He was genuinely awestruck.

On stage, Seraphina had been cold, fierce, and in complete control, like a queen reigning over her domain.

“Why should she bother telling you? Who do you think you name?” Olivia sneered, her lips curling in disdain.

are? Do you even know your

last

Lucius, expecting such a reaction, shrugged nonchalantly. “Aren’t we supposed to play something? How about playing a game of dice together?”

“Who’d want to play with you?” Olivia scoffed, fiercely defending Seraphina.

What’s so great about this b*stard?

Orion, who had been silent up until now, spoke with a deep voice, “Seraphina, are you afraid to play one round?”

From the moment she stepped upstairs, Orion’s gaze had been locked on her. She sat there, swirling her drink casually, her head bowed, as if they didn’t exist.

Orion struggled to suppress the tumultuous emotions inside him. The Seraphina before him was both familiar and foreign, stirring a complicated emotion within.

Called out by name, Seraphina lazily lifted her gaze to Orion, a faint smile playing on her lips. “Why would I be afraid?”

Though slightly surprised by Orion’s words, Seraphina wasn’t afraid. With nothing left between them, what did she have to lose in a mere game?

Olivia objected vehemently, “Why should you play with him? He’s just trying to provoke you!”

However, Sarah gently holding Olivia back, glanced at the two and said, “Relax, Seraphina knows what she’s doing.”

Orion, a seasoned player from the elite circles, was adept at all sorts of indulgences. Dice was child’s play to him, a sure win. Lucius couldn’t hide his amused grin as the waiter set up the table for the game.

As both sides took their positions, Seraphina didn’t immediately engage. Instead, she lowered her head and said in a deep voice, “What’s the bet?”

Without a bet, where’s the thrill?

Orion’s eyes narrowed, fixating on her serene complexion. “What do you suggest?”

Before Seraphina could respond, Lucius interjected with a cold laugh, “If Dros loses, I’ll strip naked and walk out of here. But if you lose, Seraphina …”

His gaze swept over Hansen and Mark before speaking contemptuously, “You’ll publicly admit that you married into the Dros family for money, and you are not allowed to appear in Golden Bay again. Seraphina, would you accept the dare?”
