Chapter 224

Keeley hopped back onto his motorcycle, eyes glued to Leandro and Seraphina as they disappearedbehind the big gate.

Just as they were about to enter, Seraphina turned back and gave him a wave, to which he respondedwith a small smile. He watched them vanish into the gate before climbing back onto his bike, donnedhis helmet, and drove off

Inside the gate. Seraphina histened to the fading sounds of his motorcycle, squinting her eyes slightlyLeandro also heard it, but he just held Seraphina’s hand and walked into the house.novelbin

The room instantly warmed up. “It’s cold outside, I’m gonna hit the shower first, Seraphina sighed,before quickly heading upstairs Leandro plopped down on the living room couch, lit a cigarette, andcalled over the bodyguard who had been with Seraphina throughout the day

The bodyguard gave Leandro a detailed rundown of the events at the dinner party. Leandro listenedquietly, stubbed out his cigarette, and then also

headed upstairs.

After her shower, Seraphina completed her skincare routine, and found a message from Terrell waitingfor her. Only two hours after she had told him about Keeley. Terrell already sent over Keeley’s basicinformation

So, Keeley was born into a middle-class family, is Mack’s cousin, was once a good student, butdropped out of high school after his parents died early. and then started to mix in society, his socialrelationships weren’t clear though

That’s all I’ve got for now, I still need to dig deeper into his social relationships, Terrell added

Seraphina skimmed through Keeley’s basic information a few times on her phone, just as she wasabout to put the phone away, a hand reached over and took it from her.

Looking up, she saw Leandro, fresh from his shower, scanning through her phone. Seraphina wasn’t ina rush, she let him have a look.

After going through the information on the phone, Leandro glanced at the message from Terrell, thenturned to Seraphina. “Who is this guy?”

“He’s someone Im investigating. Seraphina reached over and retrieved her phone, deleting someirrelevant messages.

“Investigating?” Leandro watched her movements. “And how exactly are you doing that?”

Upon hearing his question, Seraphina looked up at him, a small smile playing on her lips. “What areyou getting at?”

Leandro held her gaze, “Do you have any other methods of investigation besides the one you used onBalch?”

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “If it’s the most effective and convenient, why not use it? After all,beauty is a resource too, isn’t it a waste not to use

11?”

Leandro’s expression suddenly turned grim at her response.

But then Seraphina reached out and draped her arm around his neck. The only downside to thismethod is it can be tiring. I don’t mind the work, but if there’s an easier way, I wouldn’t mind using it.”

“Is there?” Leandro asked, his face still stern.

“1 just had an idea Seraphina said, “If I tell you who that guy is, it would save me a lot of effort”

Leandro looked at her silently, waiting for her to continue.

“Do you remember when I was kidnapped?” Seraphina blinked innocently at him.

Leandro’s gaze deepened.

He then reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace, “You were thinking of not telling me who thisguy is?”

The force of his grip caused Seraphina to wince in pain, “I’m telling you now, aren’t 1?”

With her being so forthright, of course Leandro wouldn’t let Keeley off the hook easily Keeley might putup a fight for a while, but if things get too heated. he might not be able to handle it.

It’s simple. Keeley had once mentioned that he didn’t know who was behind Seraphina’s kidnapping –meaning there was a middleman between him and his employer, maybe even other accomplices.

And this group, undoubtedly operated from the shadows.

Once Keeley’s identity was at risk of exposure, it would be a crisis for this group.

And when Keeley is backed into a corner, this group would inevitably show their true colors to resolvethe crisis.

And that would give them some leads.

Even if they couldn’t find evidence from previous cases, this group would inevitably let slip some newinformation.

By then, there’d be no such thing as a perfect crime anymore.

Sure enough, as soon as Seraphina finished speaking, Leandro immediately whipped out his phoneand called Herman.

Seraphina nestled into his arms, quietly watching him make the call

The call didn’t go through immediately, Leandro looked down to see her face, a mix of anticipation andmischief. The sight stirred something within him, and he leaned down to capture her lips in a kiss.

Seraphina was still waiting to hear his conversation, she didn’t expect him to suddenly kiss her. Just asshe was about to react, Leandro bit down on her lip, hard

‘Ouch!” Seraphina winced in pain, her fingers digging into Leandro’s side.

This mart wasn’t trying to kiss her, he was clearly taking out his anger on her!

But her feeble attempts at resistance were like tickles to Leandro.

As he continued to kiss and bite her, Seraphina tried her best to resist, but Leandro didn’t let up.

Even though the call had already connected, and Herman’s voice could be heard from the other end,“Leandro? Hello? Leandro? Hello?”, Leandro seemed to have turned a deaf ear, his hold on her onlytightening.

Only when Herman hung up and redialed, and the phone was about to disconnect automatically afterringing several times, did Leandro finally release her and pick up the call, “Hello?”

Seraphina was hurting all over her back, her waist, even her mouth. The moment he let her go, shecouldn’t help but collapse onto the bed, and in the process, she gave him a hefty kick.
