Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 226

The Martin Family” Seraphina asked, turning her head to Leandro “Which the Martin family are you

talking about?”

Leandro just looked at her calmly, implying confirmation.

The Martin family where Tamia Martin, who once dated Bowen Smith, and Andrea, who was once

engaged to Leandro, belonged to. It was also the family of Patrick Gray’s brother in law.

The Martin family that was rumored to have made their fortune by illegal means and hid all kinds of

ugly things.

For a medium-sized company like the Jones Group, it was quite normal to seek the protection of a big

power. If Mack chose to rely on the Martin family, then those cases might also have the support of the

Martin family behind them?

If this matter is related to the Martin family, then-”

Before Seraphina could finish her sentence, Herman took over. Then, you cant continue the

investigation.”

Seraphina blinked in confusion, “Why?”

Herman explained, “Since you’re investigating, you should be clear about the actual situation of these

cases and how dangerous they are. If the Martin family knew you were investigating them, the

consequences would be unthinkable”

Seraphina leaned back into the couch, laughing lightly, “You could even chake on bread, but would you

stop eating bread because of that?”

Having said that, she turned to look at Leandro,

Leandro was playing with an unlit cigarette in his hand, not looking at her.

..

Herman knew he couldn’t easily persuade Seraphina to give up, so he continued, “I can continue the

investigation. Anyway, it would definitely go smoother if I were to do it.”

“Isn’t it that you can’t open a case without evidence?” Seraphina asked.

Herman calmly replied, “I can investigate privately”

“Then we can totally cooperate and investigate together. Seraphina immediately said excitedly. “Plus

the everywhere-at-once Terrell, I believe we can definitely find out the truth”

Hearing this, Herman stopped talking abruptly. His eyes quickly swept over Leandro, then he firmly

said, “No, it’s too risky, you absolutely cannot get involved”

Seraphina noticed where his gaze had fallen, and laughed, “On what ground are you saying this? What

can you do to me if I don’t agree with you?”

Im just worried about you, Herman said, “There are so many cases in the world, why can’t you

investigate others and have to stick to this one?”

I just like to finish what I start Seraphina answered with a smile

Herman was speechless for a moment and could only look at Leandro.

He came here and said so much, all for Leandro.

He knew how much Leandro cared about Seraphina. What man would want to see the woman he loves

take risks?

But Seraphina just liked to take risks, which was inexplicable.

Leandro sat aside, silent all the time, like a bystander

It was only when Seraphina reached out and grabbed his arm, half-leaning into his arms, that he

looked at her

“Why does he keep looking at you? Seraphina asked. “Is it you who doesn’t want me to continue the

investigation? But you clearly promised me before.”

“Do you really want to go on with the investigation? Leandro asked.

Seraphina nodded, saying, “Yeah, I’m now super interested in this case”

After hearing this, Leandro put down the cigarette in his hand, turned his head to look at her, his

expression calm, and slowly said, “Then start the investigation”

“Leandro”” Before Seraphina could say anything, Herman couldn’t help but call out.

“That’s it.” Leandro stood up, did not say anything else, just told the driver to prepare to leave.

Seraphina stood up with him, walked him to the door, and then gave him a passionate kiss with a smile.

“I knew you would support me,” she said.

Leandro looked at her again, didn’t say anything, loosened her hand, and got into the car

Seraphina waved him off, then returned to the living room to see a worried looking Herman.

“Why are you so worried?” Seraphina sat down again, folding her arms as she looked at him,

“Honestly, you definitely can’t figure out this case on your

own.”

Herman furrowed his eyebrows slightly, “Why do you say that?”

“is simple” Seraphina answered, “You’ve always had doubts about those cases, but have you found

anything after so long? Now, Keeley is a breakthrough And I, I’m probably the only one you can choose

who can get close to him.”

Herman paused, did not continue discussing the case with her, only said, “Do you know that Leandro is

very worned about you?”

“But he supports me.” Seraphina shrugged, laughing.

Herman turned to look out the window, saying quietly, “I don’t know what he’s thinking…”

Seraphina stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, “Have you never been in a relationship?”

As soon as she said this, Herman’s face changed slightly, even his ears seemed a bit red. “Why do you

suddenly bring this up?”

“Because you’re really naive.” Seraphina looked him up and down, then sighed, “For someone as naive

as you, I think unless the girl who falls in love with you is a carefree fool, it would be really hard to

accept.”

Herman didn’t want to say any more to her and stood up to leave. At the door, he turned back and said,

“If you make any progress here, let me know immediately. If there’s evidence to open a case, I’ll still be

the one in charge of it.”

Seraphina turned her back to him, didn’t look back, just waved a “goodbye” with her hand.

Herman took off.

After that day. Herman started digging into Keeley with everything he got, while Seraphina was chilling,

occasionally swapping some intel with Terrell, kicking back most of the time, living the life of a lady of

leisure, just like a rich housewife should.

Leandro, on the other hand, was up to his eyeballs in work till the end of the year, even on Christmas

Eve he was out and about bright and early.

Everyone was soaking up the festive vibes, the housekeeper and most of the staff at Reynolds Manor

also took off, leaving just Seraphina and Valerio Reynolds hanging out in the living room.

There was an animated movie playing on the TV, Valerio watched for a bit, probably thought it was a bit

of a snooze, couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Seraphina.

“Stop eyeballing me! Seraphina said without looking up from her magazine, “It’s Christmas Eve,

everyone’s scuttling off home for the holidays, all the places that should be closed, are closed. There’s

nothing to do out there, so don’t get your hopes up.”

Hearing that, Valerio was a bit bummed out, he looked over at the front door again.

So, Seraphina went on, “Don’t bother looking, your dad’s probably gonna spend the holiday at

Reynolds Vista Retreat, and we’re not exactly the guests of honor there, so how about we just hang

out? It’s way better than dealing with those people.”

Valerio was a bit downcast, just about to look away, when the front door suddenly swung open.

Valerio excitedly nudged Seraphina, Seraphina looked up, and there was Leandro, just got back.
