Chapter 335
When Seraphina heard this answer, she instantly sat up from Leandro’s embrace.
Although she had some doubts when asking the question, the moment Leandro voiced out the truth,her heart started to race uncontrollably, and her emotions were all over the place.
“Why?” Seraphina asked.
Leandro also sat up, leaned against the headboard, glanced at the time on his watch, and then replied,“I just think this guy… is a bit shady.”
“Since when?” Seraphina asked again.
“From the very beginning.”
“And when Sandra passed away?”
Without hiding anything, Leandro said, “From that moment, I had people keeping an eye on him.”
Seraphina’s thoughts were suddenly thrown into chaos.
“Do you think Sandra’s accident has anything to do with him?”
“He was indeed devastated when Sandra met with the accident,” Leandro answered.
Hearing this, Seraphina silently looked at him, “But you still suspect him.”
“It’s just my gut feeling,” Leandro said.
“You, Leandro, are a man of great experience, your intuition…should be quite accurate, right?”Seraphina said slowly.
Leandro gave her a deep look and then continued, “He was indeed devastated when Sandra had theaccident. But not long after, he quickly got over it. According to the information I gathered, he was livingtoo normally. Considering his emotional state when Sandra met with the accident, unless he wasputting on a show and even forgot he was acting, he couldn’t possibly recover so quickly.”
After hearing this, Seraphina fell silent for a while, then suddenly laughed.
The state Leandro described was all too familiar to her.
When unable to accept and face a certain fact, all one can do is to force oneself to forget, pretendingeverything never happened and face life as a normal
In extreme pain, one could even forget some fundamental things –
Like her, who once completely forgot about Leandro, forgot about Betty.
If Bowen also chose to forget because of the same reason, then it is indeed possible for him to quicklyget over the painful emotions.
But-
“He’s not,” Seraphina said.
Leandro looked at her.
person.
“If he really forgot about Sandra because of pain, and chose to devote himself entirely to the Martinfamily to avenge Sandra…” Seraphina said slowly, “Then he wouldn’t keep showing up in front of me,expressing his feelings. He never forgot about Sandra, he could even bring up Sandra time and timeagain, he definitely didn’t choose to forget Sandra because of extreme pain.”
In this light, all of Bowen’s actions became highly suspicious.
Seraphina continued, “When Sandra died, I also thought he was really heartbroken… But they livedtogether for more than twenty years, Sandra gave him everything, wouldn’t even a person with a littlebit of humanity feel heartbroken?”
After hearing this, Leandro fell silent for
a moment without an immediate response.
“He was only briefly heartbroken, indicating he didn’t truly feel the pain,” Seraphina said with a hint ofsarcasm in her laughter, “Yet he pretended to be deeply in love, claiming his engagement with TaniaMartin was to avenge Sandra, but he targeted the Reynolds family?”
If Bowen wanted to win the trust of the Martin family, he had many options, there was no need at all tooppose the Reynolds Group.
Unless his target, from the beginning, was the Reynolds Group.
If he wanted to go against the Reynolds Group, the Smith family’s power was like a flea trying to shakea tree, so he would definitely need to find support that was on par with the Reynolds family.
But in that case, Sandra would become his biggest obstacle.
Seraphina initially hated him for harming Sandra, but later believed that he had nothing to do withSandra’s accident, only because she believed Bowen wouldn’t put Sandra in danger for a woman likeTania – he could easily control these two women, why would he cruelly let Sandra die?
But what if he wanted more than just Tania, but the Martin family behind Tania, and to use the Martinfamily to go against the Reynolds Group?
Then everything fell into place.
“He is the one who killed Sandra. Seraphina said stiffly, word by word.
Leandro heard her conclusion, but he didn’t express any opinion.
Obviously, he had thought of this as well.
Suddenly, Seraphina sat up, ready to get off the bed.
Leandro immediately reached out and held her wrist.
“Fll handle this, Leandro said.novelbin
Seraphina turned to look at him and said after a little pause, “Okay, but don’t you not want me to goback to Sunburst City?”
Leandro looked at her and said slowly, “I want you to return to Sunburst City happily.”
Chapter 335
“You know I’ll be happy, Seraphina replied.
The reason why Leandro wanted her to stay in Summitville was to give her some time to heal heremotional wounds, to give her a good rest, and to keep her away from the hustle and bustle ofSunburst City.
Everything he did was to make her happy.
Quietly looking at her, Leandro finally said softly, “Alright.”
Leandro was initially worried that Seraphina would act impulsively because of Sandra’s matter, but inreality, Seraphina’s calmness exceeded his expectations.
They hastily decided to return to Sunburst City. They could’ve just left directly, but Seraphina still hadother things on her mind, so she specifically asked Keen for a favour.
The key task for Keen was to invite Valerio’s art teacher to teach in Sunburst City.
Keen had been in charge of contacting this teacher from the start, so he knew a bit about him. Hearingthe task, he couldn’t help but frown, “This art teacher is a homebody, Sunburst City is far away, hemight not want to go…”
Hearing this, Seraphina turned around and shouted, “Leandro!”
Keen thought he would be scolded for not completing the task, and was preparing to express hisloyalty, but Seraphina suddenly turned to Leandro, who was coming out of the bathroom, and spreadher hands, “Give me your wallet.”
Leandro glanced at the interaction between her and Keen, and handed over his wallet.
Seraphina took the wallet and put it in Keen’s arms, “You know what to do, right?”
Keen would never dare to touch Leandro’s wallet, he immediately put it down and hastily said, “Ma’am,don’t worry, I will arrange everything. Also, should we prepare some gifts for our neighbors? I canarrange that too.”
“You take care of getting the art teacher to Sunburst City.” Seraphina said, “I will handle these matters.”
“Okay.” Keen agreed and immediately turned to leave.

Seraphina turned her head back to continue packing Valerio’s things when she heard the parents ofValerio’s friend calling out to her from outside, “Mrs. Reynolds, are you home?”
Leandro had just finished brushing his teeth and came out of the bathroom. He was close to the door,so he went ahead and opened it.
Standing outside was the mother of a little girl from next door, holding some pancakes in her hand. Itwas originally a gift from her daughter to Seraphina and Valerio, but when she saw Leandro openingthe door, she was taken aback.
