Inherit Billions (Seraphina and Orion) novel Chapter 218

Inherit Billions 

Chapter 218 Desperate Struggle 

Seraphina had never been one to forgive easily. 

45 Pearls 

Anyone who insulted her and thought they could walk away unscathed would soon realize their mistake. 

She mentally jotted down every little thing in her notebook and waited for the perfect moment to settle 

the score. 

Ignoring the venomous insults hurled by Grace and Flora behind her back, she walked away with her head held high, her heels clicking sharply against the floor. 

Even for a second, staying under the same roof as them was unbearable. 

The bodyguard quickly opened the door for her, his movements precise and respectful. 

Every gesture, every movement, radiated an innate elegance and superiority, as if she were born to stand above others, gazing down from her lofty perch. 

Back at the office, the team she had sent was already moving to fully take over the operations. 

Seraphina ignored the online uproar. 

The truth would come out soon enough. 

The next day brought an unexpected twist–Alexander wasn’t ready to give up. He released a video on behalf of his company. 

Anthony was featured in the video. In it, the professor condemned his research theft with righteous indignation and subtly accused Giant Group of plagiarism. 

The video sent shockwaves through the media, reigniting the controversy. The internet exploded with divided opinions. 

“Professor Smith is a well–known expert in the country, with numerous patents to his name. Why would he lie?” 

“Is Giant Group using its power to buy out someone else’s technology? This man has a spotless reputation -he wouldn’t lie.” 

“Professor Smith is an upright man, full of integrity. I think it’s time some people admitted who really stole from whom.” 

“I was once a student of Professor Smith. This individual is deceptive, consistently claiming credit for his students‘ contributions. 

“All of Professor Smith’s research comes from his students‘ patents.” 

The sea of outrage quickly drowned out the various voices. 

Seraphina’s face darkened as she watched the news receive more attention. 

Thomas spoke cautiously from the side.

Seraphina took a deep breath, telling herself to stay calm. 

+5 Pearis 

Her voice remained as calm as she could manage, though a glint of cold determination flickered in her 

eyes. 

“No. Let’s add fuel to the fire and burn them all down!” 

“Understood.” 

No more words were necessary; Thomas instantly grasped Seraphina’s intent. 

The press conference was brief but solemn. 

In such a crucial moment, Seraphina’s decision–to–face the press, answering tough and pointed questions, was both surprising and bold. 

Orion and Aiden both received invitations. 

Attending was optional, but both men showed up. 

They confronted the heated issues head–on, though Seraphina remained the focus. As supporting figures, they didn’t overshadow her but instead underscored the importance and trust in this collaboration. 

Both men were undeniably attractive. 

Aiden, with his refined demeanor and subtle rebellious streak. 

Orion, with his noble air and striking presence, captivated the room even in silence. 

Seraphina wore her custom–made haute couture outfit, which looked nothing short of spectacular. Wherever she went, all eyes were on her, and every camera angle was flawless. 

In another life, she could have easily dominated the entertainment industry on looks alone as a celebrity. 

Her beauty momentarily distracted the reporters, almost making them forget why they had come to the press conference. 

As the conference moved to the main topic, the atmosphere grew tense. 

“Ms. Cross, what’s your response to the plagiarism allegations?” 

Seraphina didn’t shy away from the question. 

“The management at Lacuna indeed made a mistake and plagiarized the collaborative work of the three companies.” 

Her words caused an immediate uproar. 

“Was this not done under the orders of Cross Group?” a reporter quickly followed up. 

Seraphina smiled faintly. 

“Cross Group oversees numerous subsidiaries, each with its own legal and operational independence. An internal investigation revealed that a Lacuna subsidiary had engaged in unfair competition. We reported 

will undergo the incident to the authorities and decided to audit all of Lacuna’s operations. The company
