Chapter 351
The next day, Seraphina took Valerio out for a game of tennis, and invited Andrea for lunch.
Andrea, who was a fashion designer, brought some cool little suits for Valerio.
“I’ve designed a few suits and I think they’re pretty good, so I made a few more for him,” Andrea explained, “Two
of them fit just right, and two are a bit big. He can wear them next year.”
Seraphina took the bag, handed it straight to Valerio, then asked, “You always bring gifts for him, why don’t you
make clothes for me?”
Andrea replied, “When I design clothes that suit your style, I’ll make them for you.”
Seraphina huffed and said, “Well, if you don’t make clothes for me, don’t blame me for ordering expensive dishes
today!”
After that, she waved to the waiter, opened the menu, and specifically picked the pricier dishes.
Andrea didn’t stop her, just smiled and then suddenly looked towards the restaurant entrance.
At the entrance, a group of people were being led in by the restaurant manager. They were supposed to go to the
VIP room, but upon seeing Seraphina, they suddenly headed this way.
Andrea immediately stood up and called out, “Dad.”
Seraphina, who was ordering, paused and looked up.
The man standing next to their table was Simon Martini
“Hello, Mr. Martin,” Seraphina greeted him with a smile..
Simon smiled back warmly, “What a coincidence, you guys are also here?”
“Yes,” Andrea replied, “What about you, Dad?”
Simon glanced back and said with a light smile, “I have a business banquet. Otherwise, I could have joined you for
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlunch.”
As he spoke, another man came over and said, “Sera, what a coincidence!”
Upon hearing this voice, Seraphina’s smile widened, and she turned to look at him, “Bowen, what a surprise.”
Bowen looked at her, then at Andrea, “You and Andrea are having lunch? When did you guys get so close?”
“I didn’t dare tell you.” Seraphina teased, “I finally found a good friend. What if you have any bad ideas?”
Although she was joking, the meaning was clear. Bowen laughed, “You love talking nonsense. Andrea is part of the
Martin family, how could I possibly have any bad ideas?”
“So, you’re saying that as long as someone is part of the Martin family, you’ll treat them well?” Seraphina asked,
“Then this afternoon, I’ll become sisters with Andrea. From then on, I’ll be part of the Martin family too. I hope you
can treat me better.”
Bowen couldn’t help but laugh, “You want to become a part of the Martin family, will your husband agree?”
“You don’t know, Seraphina said, “in our house, the wife has the final say, He won’t object whatever I say goes.”
At this, Bowen raised an eyebrow, “Then I’ll look forward to it.”
Simon listened quietly to their conversation, then smiled and said, “Alright, you guys enjoy your meal. Order
whatever you want, I’ll pay for lunch today.”
At this, Seraphina burst into laughter, “Thank you, Mr. Martin. I won’t be shy then.
After that, she glanced at Bowen with a smirk.
Bowen looked back at her, gave a faint smile, then turned and walked away.
As they entered the VIP room, Andrea finally asked, “What were you guys talking about?”
Seraphina paused for a moment, then said, “It’s none of your business, you probably don’t care, so it’s okay to tell
you. He’s aligning with the Martin family to fight against the Reynolds family, and I suspect that Sandra’s death was
his doing.”
After listening, Andrea was a bit stunned, then said, “Indeed, these things have nothing to do with me… but if you
need my help, I can do my best.”
“No need,” Seraphina quickly said, “I don’t want to drag you into this. Live your own life, and don’t worry about
things that don’t concern you”
Andrea sat quietly for a while, then nodded with a smile.
After lunch, Andrea left first. As Seraphina was seeing Valerio off, Bowen’s car suddenly drove by.
.Seraphina watched the car, the window slowly lowered, revealing Bowen’s face.
“Sera, can I give you a ride?” Bowen asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Seraphine gave a sarcastic smile, “Although your car is definitely the safest, sometimes the
safest place can also be the most dangerous.
At this, Bowen just raised an eyebrow and said, “Then I wish you good luck,”
Abbot, who was by Seraphina’s side, frowned upon hearing this.
After Bowen’s car left, he issued a command to increase alertness through his earpiece.
Once Seraphina got in the car, she said, “His blatant approach is probably just to wear down others’ will, don’t get
too nervous.
“Don’t worry, ma’am.” Abbot said, “I’ll take care of everything.”

The car smoothly drove towards Reynolds Manor. When they were on the overpass, the traffic suddenly slowed
down and after a while, it came to a complete standstill.
After about five minutes, all the drivers got out of their cars and looked at the situation ahead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbbot made a call to check what happened and then turned to Seraphina, “There was a five-car pile-up ahead and
now the whole road is blocked…”
“It’s okay,” Seraphina said, “Were not in a hurry anyway.”
Just as Abbot was about to say something, he suddenly spotted something and urgently yelled, “Get down, lady!”
Seraphina barely had time to glance out the window before she pushed down Valerio’s head and ducked herself.
The next moment, the car window on her side was splashed with a bucket of red paint, darkening the surroundings
instantly.
Inside the car was safe, so Abbot didn’t jump out immediately. Instead, he issued an instruction to the
car
behind.
Before his order was even issued, the bodyguards in the following car had already jumped out and nabbed the
paint thrower.
However, capturing him didn’t stop him from shouting at the top of his lungs.
“You’re a criminal! Seraphina, you’re a criminal! You pushed my daughter down the stairs to snatch her boyfriend,
turning her into a vegetable! You’re a monster! Did you lose your conscience to a dog?”
Some curious drivers on the road, upon seeing this drama, whipped out their phones to record the scene.
Inside the car, Seraphina’s seat was isolated from the outside commotion and noise. But looking at the bright red
paint slowly dripping down the window, she knew very well what had gone down.
In the brief glimpse earlier, she recognized a familiar face – Vivian’s father.
No wonder Bowen had wished her good luck earlier.
So this is what “good luck” looked like, waiting for her right here
