Inherit Billions

Chapter 535 Investing in the Entertainment Industry

Seraphina didn't give much thought to his touch, casually holding her bag while guiding William forward.

As they walked, she started explaining what she knew about the entertainment industry.

"I'm no expert, but I've heard that the high salaries of actors are starting to attract a lot of criticism. Some actors aren't seeing the expected increase in value, so they must either step up their game with better projects or find other ways to stay in the public eye. But in the end, it's still a risky business." William listened intently, nodding as she spoke.

"I've heard similar things. A few of the stars I was keeping an eye on have been caught in scandals-illegal activities exposed, their public images ruined. Some shows were unable to air due to these scandals. That's part of why I've been hesitant to invest in this field." Seraphina realized that she had forgotten William's true identity as an investor.

If he were genuinely interested in the industry, he would have done more research by now. His reasons seemed more like convenient excuses.

This realization left her feeling unexpectedly disappointed.

Noticing the shift in her mood, William was unsure what had caused it.

He couldn't tell if something he said had upset her.

Tentatively, he asked, "Do you have any favorite stars?"

Seraphina paused for a second, then quickly corrected him.

"I don't follow celebrities. I'm not some silly girl obsessed with fame. My focus is on my career-becoming the richest woman in the world!"

The elevator was quiet for a moment before William chuckled softly.

"I can tell."

Seraphina was taken aback. Does he really think that of me?

She figured he was probably lying.

But she chose to ignore it. She'd show her strength through action, not words.

Feeling like talking was pointless, she fell silent.

When the elevator doors opened, they stepped out and made their way toward the hall. As they approached, Seraphina noticed a figure standing outside, glancing around. The back looked oddly familiar. As she got closer, a small laugh escaped her. It was Lucius.

Lucius spotted her at the same moment, his eyes flicking to William standing behind her.

"Well... what a surprise."

Seraphina glanced inside the hall. It was lively, but the entrance was strictly guarded by a doorman, allowing only invited guests in.

Now she understood-Lucius had been left outside because he wasn't on the guest list.

She smiled to herself. "Not much of a surprise. I was invited. What about you?"

Lucius's smile faltered, his thoughts turning darker as he silently cursed Seraphina and her family of

women.

Only Orion could stand her sharp tongue!

Clearing his throat, he tried to come up with an excuse, hoping to salvage his pride.

Just then, the doorman, sensing the tension, walked over and opened the door. "Ms. Cross, please, go right in."

Seraphina flashed a grin at Lucius as the doorman added, "Mr. Brown caused a scene inside and even got physical, so the director and producer had him escorted out... Seraphina couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

Lucius's face twisted in disgust, as if he had stepped in something vile.

He glared coldly at the doorman. "No need for you to explain ...

The doorman, looking intimidated, stepped back, avoiding Lucius's gaze.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seraphina chuckled again. "Play nice, Mr. Brown. We'll be heading in now."

She turned to William, who, following the proper etiquette, extended his arm for her to link with. Seraphina hesitated for a moment, but William stepped forward, arm already outstretched. It was just a polite gesture, so Seraphina didn't think much of it.

Just as they were about to enter, Lucius stepped forward, his face changing into a sycophantie smile.

"Seraphina, could you let me in too?"

He'd rather gouge his eyes out than stand out there and watch Lila with another man.
