The revelat
But i
I didn’t come as a shock, and it might not even be related to the previous kidnapping incident
wasnt about to let it slide
Over the next few days, the Whitman family found themselves in hot water. They were under pressurefrom banks, shareholders, partners, clients-you name it in no time Ira Whitman was gasping for breath.
Once he figured out the reason, ira naturally wanted to meet with Leandro but was repeatedly turneddown. Leandro clearly didn’t want to see him.
tra was overwhelmed with problems and didn’t know what to do.
A week later, Seraphina had a bridal fitting arranged by Tiffany. Not wanting to waste time on it, shedecided on a style one morning and spent the afternoon resting and having tea
As she was flipping through a magazine, Ira appeared by her table and quietly greeted her, ‘Ms.Bennett, how do you do?”
Seraphina looked up from her magazine and immediately recognized him “Mr. Whitman, long time nosaa
“Somy to bother you” fra was always formal and courteous. “May I sit and chat with you?”
Seraphina shrugged, indicating she didn’t mind, and put down her magazine
Ira sat down and said, I’m here mainly to apologize on behalf of my sister
At this. Seraphina burst into laughter and asked, “Why?”
Ira got right to the point. “It’s about the media reporting on your life story”
Seraphina was somewhat surprised. After a moment of silence, she chuckled, “So it was her
Ms. Bernett has been spoiled since childhood and recently had a fight with Peterson, so she actedimpulsively. We hope you can understand.” Ira said, “If you’re willing to meet her, she’d like toapologize to you in person.”
Seraphina listened to him calmly, then said lightly, if she really wanted to apologize in person, shewould be sitting in front of me right now. I’ve only met her twice but I know her. She would reverapologize to me unless shes gone off the rails.”
iras expression changed slightly “Ms. Bennett, we genuinely want to apologize and hope for yourforgiveness.
Seraphinas expression remained cold until she heard this. She lowered her eyes slightly and said,“Your sister is immature. You should teach her properly instead of coming to me and expecting me to
tolerate her mistakes. Why should I indulge her?”
Having said this Seraphina looked toward the entrance of the hall.
Abbot had been standing there all along, watching this side even more intently since tra showed up. Assoon as he saw Seraphina looking at him, he immediately came over and said, “Ms Bennettnovelbin
Without lifting her head, Seraphina said, Please show Mr. Whitman out; I dont want to be disturbed”
tra being a man of manners, knew Seraphina was truly upset when she said this. He only said, “I hopethere will be another opportunity to meet you. I wish you a happy marriage in advance”
Seraphina didn’t look up after hearing this.
Tra sighed quietly and reluctantly left
Not long after he left, another person appeared in front of Seraphina. She sighed in exasperation andlooked up to see Peterson.
Without a trace of surprise, she simply said, “You’ve been showing up a lot lately, haven’t you?”
Peterson just looked at 1 her and said, 7 just want to confirm something. Is Betty Leandro’s child?”
“What’s the point of asking that?” Seraphina retorted
Petersons face stiffened as he looked at her with a hint of irony. “If Leandro was the one who hurt youback then, why would you forgive him and give him another chance but be so cold to me?”
Do you really think you have the right to ask me these questions?”
Peterson was taken aback. He watched her quietly for a moment, then laughed bitterly before saying. Iknow, I can’t compare to Leandro With just a few words, he’s made the Whitman family’s life a living
hell. If I were in your shoes, I would also choose a man like that”
Seraphina didn’t want to continue the conversation She put down what she was holding, got up, andwas about to leave.
Sera” Peterson, unwilling and unable to bear it, grabbed her and said with difficulty. “The thing aboutBetty, I didn’t tell Edith”,
At his words, Seraphina, who had been frozen, moved slightly and slowly turned to look at him
1 don’t know how she found out and told the media, but I never told her Peterson said, looking at her
Seraphina stared at him for a moment, then slowly began to laugh, saying, “Alright, I forgive you”
Peterson was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up with disbelief. “Really?”
“Really” Seraphina said, “You’re on the same level as Leandro now, so you don’t have to suffer overthis anymore.”
Peterson was stunned again. “What do you mean?”
“You both hurt me, and I’ve gotten back at both of you. Now I’ve forgiven both of you equally”Seraphina said, “There’s no difference between you and Leandro; don’t be sad for me anymore”
After she said her piece, Seraphina shrugged off his hand and bolted.
Peterson stood there like a statue until, after what seemed like ages, a tall, gorgeous woman strolled infrom outside, plopped down in Seraphina’s former seat, and started grinning at him
Peterson snapped out of it, asking, Who are you?”
Tim Ferne.” She introduced herself candidly, then continued, “You’re Peterson, right? If I were you, Iwouldn’t waste my energy on a woman who’s clearly out of your league Instead of clinging onto her,why not look out for your own interests and sort out some of the issues facing the Miller family or theWhitman family?”
“You’re with the Reynolds family? Peterson asked, puzzled. “What do you want to know?”
Ferne shot him a sly smile, replying. 1 want to know everything you know about Seraphina and aboutthe kid she had.”
