Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 356

Seraphina thought that Leandro was going to be super busy after dealing with the temporary issues created by

Vivian Smith.

She knew that Bowen had already started to make his move against Leandro, and Leandro had been aware of this.

There was no way he wouldn’t have a

counter-strategy.

Especially after he had attended a social event despite having a stomach-ache the night before. And Keen had said

that the social event was important, which meant he must be busy dealing with stuff.

However, to Seraphina’s surprise, Leandro didn’t go to work the next day.

Instead, he spent the whole day with her, taking Valerio to school and swimming. The entire day was consumed by

family time.

This was a rare occurrence, even on weekends. Valerio was naturally over the moon, and suggested going to the

zoo in the afternoon, which Leandro agreed to.

Seraphina was a bit puzzled and finally asked him, “You were so busy yesterday, how come you’re so free today?”

“I just finished a busy phase, naturally there’s time for me to chill.” Leandro replied casually, “Didn’t you want me

to be obedient? I let you watch me all day, isn’t that obedient enough?”

Seraphina moved a bit closer to him and sniffed, “I suspect you’re drunk.”

Then Leandro reached out his hand, gently held the back of her head, and pulled her towards him.

As Seraphina was forced to get closer to him, she suddenly heard a “click”. Turning her head, she saw Valerio

snapping photos of them with a camera!

“You little rascal!” Seraphina was immediately angry, “Where did you learn that?”

Valerio just laughed silently and ran away with the camera.

Leandro couldn’t help but smile at the sight of Seraphina chasing after him.

He knew she was always shy in front of Valerio.

After a day of family time, Valerio fell asleep in Leandro’s arms in the car on the way back. Seraphina kept checking

the trending topics on her phone.

She glanced through many posts, but didn’t see anything related to herself. She had no idea what Leandro was up

to, so she stopped thinking about it.

Meanwhile, at the Martin Group headquarters, the lights were still on in the high-level office on the 42nd floor.

When Bowen entered Simon Martin’s office, it was bustling. Simon sat behind his desk with Lionel and Teague sitting

across from him, and several senior managers standing by. Everyone was frowning and deep in thought.

Everyone looked at him as he entered, and their gazes stayed on him.

Bowen remained calm, just smiling lightly, “Mr. Martin, what’s up?”

Simon slowly said, “I believe you’ve heard about what happened with the company’s projects these past couple

days?”

Bowen replied with a light smile, “The Martin Group took some big deals from the Reynolds Group. The Reynolds

Group is bound to react, I think it’s all normal.” “What do you mean, ‘normal’?” Teague, looking at his troublesome

future son-in-law, couldn’t help but be angry. “Do you know how much bad news we received today? The

construction project in Europe had to be suspended due to government policy issues, a real estate project was

exposed for safety hazards, even our dock containers have been detained-”

“Those are all small issues.” Bowen said, “They can be solved at any time.”

Simon slowly said, “Indeed, these are all small issues. But if small issues keep popping up, they become big issues.

Also, I need to remind you, several cooperation projects that the company was negotiating, have now either

disappeared or are asking to terminate the contract. You’re in charge of these projects, you owe the board an

explanation.”

Bowen was silent for a moment, then started to chuckle, “If they breach the contract, they’ll have to pay a huge

price.”

Lionel coldly said, “Now they’re willing to pay any price to terminate the contract.”

One of the senior managers chimed in, “They couldn’t afford the penalty for breach of contract, but if they have

the Reynolds Group backing them up, it’s a different story. After all, the Reynolds Group has deep pockets and

Leandro has a wide network. Just the families that have good relations with the Reynolds family alone can influence

the economy of the entire Sunburst City. We, the Martin Group, may be growing fast, but in these respects, we’re

still somewhat isolated.”

“I told you not to go head-to-head with the Reynolds Group.” Teague reprimanded Bowen.again, “You just wouldn’t

listen! What good does going head-to-head do?”

Bowen replied lightly, “Why the rush, Messrs. Martin? The Reynolds Group hasn’t won yet.”

Simon stared at Bowen and slowly said, “Good, if you can find a chance to turn the tables, we can discuss other

issues.”

As Bowen was about to reply, Simon’s phone on the desk suddenly rang. Simon pressed the call button, the

secretary’s anxious voice came through, “Mr. Martin, two police officers are here. They’re looking for Mr. Smith-”

Everyone’s gaze fell on Bowen. Bowen’s eyes darkened slightly, but the next moment, he chuckled.

Seraphina didn’t find out that Bowen had been taken away by the police until the next day.

The next day, Leandro was still chilling at home. Keen brought over some paperwork from the office for him to look

over, and while he was there, he filled him in on the latest scoop about Bowen.

Seraphina, pretending to be bored out of her mind, just happened to be strolling past the study door when she

heard this juicy tidbit, and she barged right in.

“What’s the deal?” She excitedly grabbed Keen, “What did Bowen do?”

Leandro sat in his chair, quietly watching her and letting her probe away.

“A couple days ago, the Reynolds Group’s server got hacked, and some important stuff was stolen,” Keen replied,

“Yesterday, we traced the hacking back to the tech department of the Smith Group.”

So, Bowen had his IT team launch a malicious attack on the Reynolds Group?

Seraphina blinked at him, “Would Bowen really do that?”

“In the business world, anything can happen,” Keen said seriously.

Seraphina glanced at him, then at Leandro, and she started to put things together.

The Reynolds Group had been in Riverside Haven for years, how could their server just get hacked by someone so

easily?

There had to be more to this story.

But regardless, the thought of Bowen getting some comeuppance brought a smile to Seraphina’s face.

But there was one thing that worried her-

“He won’t just take this lying down, will he?” Seraphina said, “He’ll definitely retaliate somehow-Leandro, your back

might not be as covered as you think.”
