Inherit Billions

Chapter 463 Extortion

Three seconds of silence passed.

Seraphina took a deep breath and steadied herself. "I know. I'll be prepared. Thank you."

Her gratitude was genuine. It was a heartfelt acknowledgment.

With that, she hung up the phone.

There was no turning back. From the moment she decided to secure this project, she was ready to face any challenges that came her way.

Orion cursed under his breath, the urgency within him only growing.

He turned to Ken and commanded, "Drive me to Eldoria Bay."

Ken quickly grasped the situation and proposed, "But didn't we agree with Senator Long that we wouldn't need to deal directly with the project team?"

This was Orion's strength as a higher-up. He never put himself in a dangerous situation for matters that could be resolved with money.

Orion's expression darkened, a storm brewing in his eyes. He said resolutely, "Seraphina is going there. We need to get more men to back her up and be ready at all times."

Ken's demeanor shifted to serious. "Understood, Boss."

Seraphina surprised everyone by heading straight for Griffin Corporation as soon as she arrived at Eldoria Bay.

Joseph was already waiting there. When he met up with Seraphina, he felt a wave of reassurance wash over

him.

"Ms. Cross, several senior executives at Griffin Corporation have agreed to sell us their shares. However, their financial manager is proving difficult, dragging his feet with various excuses and refusing to provide us with the accounts." Seraphina's aura was icy and formidable as she responded, "I understand. Let's get those accounts first."

Thomas followed closely behind her, watching as Seraphina strode into the building, unflinching.

He turned around and signaled for others to keep pace

Seraphina made a beeline for the finance department.

She took the lead and pushed the door open.

Inside, people lounged at their desks, laughing and joking, exuding an air of casual indifference.

One of them was stunned. His expression darkened, and he asked, "You are Seraphina Cross?" Seraphina smiled lightly and admitted, "Yes, I didn't realize I had fans here."

He said, "It's impossible not to recognize you, Ms. Cross. You're more famous than most celebrities and practically a goddess in the hearts of many. What brings you here?"

"Are you in charge of Griffin Corporation's finances? You must be Seth Holt?" She asked.

"That's right. Your lackey must have spilled the beans. I know you're interested in acquiring Griffin Corporation. Just make an offer; if it's reasonable, we won't object. Why go through all this trouble?" Seraphina maintained her official smile and said, "It's just a formality. If the accounts aren't clear, how can

we make an offer?"

"Then we can forget about it. We aren't desperate for you; the Dros Group is also interested, and they're much easier to deal with."

Seth's gaze wandered over her. Her smile was bright and perfect, and her expressions and reactions were flawless.

He wanted to make a move, but he sensed she wasn't an ordinary woman and hesitated.

Seraphina's smile faded slightly, a chill entering her otherwise composed gaze.

"It wasn't easy for Orion to make an offer. His money is hard to come by."

Seth sneered.

"And neither is mine. After all, I'm still the financial manager of this company!"

He smirked defiantly, then continued, "But it's not like we can't negotiate. We're all businesspeople here; we can set a proper time to discuss this further."

Clearly, Seth was stalling, hoping to squeeze some profits from the Cross Group while he still could.

He was aware that his tenure as the financial manager was limited, regardless of whether the Cross Group or the Dros Group acquired the company. He might as well extort a little cash while he had the opportunity, rather than waiting for his firing. And as for any retaliation from the Cross Group?

Haha!

He wasn't afraid of a woman's vengeance.

Rich people, especially women like Seraphina, were incredibly timid.

They valued their safety far more than their wealth. Why provoke someone's wrath over something that could easily be settled with a payment?

That was where his confidence lay.

Seth grinned smugly.

Seraphina lowered her gaze, then met his eyes again.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

She curled her lips into a frosty smile.

"It seems you have some misunderstandings about me

"What do you mean?" Seth asked, taken aback.

Finished

Seraphina's smile widened, though her tone grew colder. "I didn't realize that someone like you had the qualifications to negotiate with me." Before Seth could respond, Seraphina gestured to her staff behind her. "Take all the documents from here!"
