Chapter 136
Seraphina settled next to Leandro as soon as Keen closed the door, saying. “Keen seems a bit scaredof me. He is a real chicken”
Leandro cast a glance at her outfit and calmly replied, “Keen’s a steadfast guy, you don’t need toalways mess with him”
“A steadfast guy?” Seraphina chuckled at the description, then added, “He’s always by your side,dealing with all kinds of stuff for you, shouldn’t he be more of a smooth talker?”
Leandro looked up at her, “I don’t like smooth talkers.”
“Really?” Seraphina’s eyes lit up. “So, you’re saying you don’t like me?”
Leandro glanced at her without responding, then returned his gaze to the news on his tablet.
Taking advantage of his distraction, Seraphina pushed away her fruit juice, eyed his coffee, andreached for it, only to have her hand swatted away by Leandro
1 haven’t had coffee for days, let me have a sip!” Seraphina whined, rubbing her hand.
Leandro replied without looking up. “Fix your health first.”
Seraphina pouted, then suddenly asked, “Do you know the best way for a woman to take care ofherself?”
Leandro clearly had no interest in the topic, didn’t even bat an eye, totally ignoring her.
However, Seraphina took it as a “No“, and went on, “Of course, it’s making love! Plus, you’re such ahunk.”
Finally unable to bear her nonsense, Leandro glanced at her and finished his last sip of coffee. He putdown his tablet, stood up and left.
“Bye!” Seraphina waved at him with a cheeky smile, “Remember to come home early tonight!”
Leandro walked out without looking back and went downstairs, where Keen was quietly waiting for him.
It was only when Leandro got into the car that Keen noticed the bite mark on his hand. Startled, heasked, “Mr. Reynolds, are you hurt?”
Leandro glanced at the wound and said, “I’m fine.”
Keen frowned, thinking the wound didn’t look like nothing. “Do we need to go to the hospital?”
“No need.” Leandro said. “Let’s go back to the office.”
Keen took another worried glance at the wound, sighing internally. The shape of the wound looked likeSeraphina had done it. Women are really troublesome!
After Leandro left, Seraphina continued her breakfast. In the midst of her leisurely meal, her phonesuddenly rang.
Seraphina glanced at the caller ID, pressed the mute button, and continued her breakfast.
After finishing breakfast and taking a nap, she woke up around noon. By then, her phone was floodedwith dozens of missed calls and a series of heated, mixed–language texts.
Seraphina squinted and counted, most of the messages were from Farrah
Obviously, the Wilson family was in trouble.
She was carefully reading the messages from Farrah when her phone received another call, this time,from Nadine herself.
Seraphina silently looked at the caller ID, and only answered when the call was about to endautomatically. “Good morning, grandma.”
“Seraphina” Nadine’s voice was still calm, but a bit chilly, “You’re so arrogant that I have to call youpersonally to get you to pick up.”
“Grandma, you’ve got the wrong idea.” Seraphina replied, “I always wake up late. I was still sleeping”
Nadine clearly had no patience for further excuses, “You need to come back to the Wilson familyimmediately. Or you know the consequences.”
Seraphina was straightforward and quick to respond, “Okay”novelbin
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Seraphina showed up at the Wilson family.
Surprisingly, only Nadine was waiting for her at the chaotic Wilson family. At such a tumultuous time, allfour families of Parker were nowhere to be seen, either cooperating with the investigation or seekingrefuge. The servants looked panic–stricken, but Nadine was very somber, watching Seraphina come
in from the door.
“Grandma” Before Nadine could speak, Seraphina sat down on the sofa, “I was in Moonhaven, so Icame back late. I hope you don’t mind. Did you call me back in a hurry for something?”
Nadine stared at her silently for a moment, then suddenly laughed coldly, “You’re so smart, don’t youknow why I called you back?”
“I’m always a troublemaker. I really don’t know which incident you’re referring to!” Seraphina justlaughed.
This morning, someone from the investigation team came to the company and took Parker away.”Nadine looked at her coldly. “You really don’t know?”
This morning?” Seraphina looked surprised, “I really didn’t know… They acted so quickly!”
She said this with a smile Her eyes were full of provocation, staring straight at Nadine.
Nadine remained calm, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll upload those videos of your shameless mother to theinternet and let the whole world see what your mother is really like?”
Seraphina sighed, “Grandma, I came back this time to tell you that Ms. Magdalen has chosen to cut offall relations with me. From now on we go out separate ways. Whatever you have can no longerthreaten her or me.”
Is that so?” Nadine said, “Since you’ve made your choice, I’ll have someone upload those things to theinternet right now. It’s also a good opportunity for your father, who passed away over a decade ago, tosee what kind of person his wife really was!”
Seraphina’s eyes flickered slightly but she still had a smile on her face “Do as you wish, Granny. But Istill have some important info that I haven’t given to the Investigators I didn’t dare to hand it over lightly.If I did, Parker would be prosecuted Maybe he’d get a sentence of ten years, even twenty. You’regetting on in years and wouldn’t it be sad to have no one by your side when you pass away?”
Nadine was finally provoked by Seraphina, losing her composure and hurling a cup at her.
Seraphina casually dodged to the side, easily evading the attack.
1 knew it all along, you and your mother are no good!” Nadine stared at her, so angry that she wasshaking slightly. “Seraphina, aren’t you and your mother afraid of karma?”
I’m willing to accept what I deserve, so there’s no need for you to get so worked up, Granny.”Seraphina stood up, turning to leave but then turned back again. “You’re old, Granny. Your eyesightisn’t good and your reactions are slow. You really shouldn’t try to go online. Or else you’ll really get ataste of karma.”
