Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 364

Chapter 364

On Seraphina’s fifth day in Velvetwood, Andrea got up early to have a 10-minute phone call with her.

Andrea wasn’t busy with work in the summer, and Seraphina had nothing much going on inVelvetwood. So, she invited Andrea over to stay with her in Velvetwood.

Andrea was hesitating and was walking down the stairs. When she saw Simon at the dining table, shequickly hung up her call with Seraphina.

Andrea looked at Simon and then took a seat at the dining table. “Hi, Dad.”

Simon nodded, “You’re up early. Have you been busy with work?”

“Not really,” Andrea replied, “It’s summer, I don’t sleep much.”

After saying this, she took another look at Simon and added, “But you seem to be quite busy lately,Dad.”

Lately, Simon had been coming in early and leaving late. Although there didn’t seem to be anychanges, Andrea felt that his vibe was different than usual.

Simon responded, “It’s manageable.” He didn’t elaborate.

Andrea didn’t ask further either. She just quietly ate her breakfast.

Suddenly, the front door was pushed open from outside. Lionel Martin walked in and came to the diningtable.

Upon seeing Lionel, Andrea immediately stood up to greet him. Seeing that Lionel seemed to havesomething to talk to Simon about, she moved over to the sofa with her breakfast.

Lionel took her previous seat and said coldly, “We can’t keep going like this. This time, Bowen Smithhas really pissed off Leandro. He’s retaliating like mad. He’s going all out against us and we can’t holdour own.”

Simon listened to his words, cleaned his mouth with a napkin, but didn’t say anything!

Lionel continued, “I think Bowen is doing this on purpose. He’s obviously targeting the Reynolds Group.I’ve said it before, he’s using us to fight the Reynolds Group. Because of Tania, Teague has been toolenient with him. We can’t let him use us like this.”

Simon finished his coffee and said, “Please invite Leandro for, dinner.”

He knew what Bowen was up to. It was not like he couldn’t see it.

But he was looking forward to the confrontation with the Reynolds Group. If they could outdo theReynolds Group in a few rounds of competition, the Martin Group’s position in Sunburst City would bemore secure.

But the problem now was an infuriated Leandro seemed to have lost his mind.

Going all out, by any means necessary against the Martin Group, was a true depiction of Leandro’srecent state.

If he decided to sacrifice his own business just to bring down the Martin Group, it would certainly posea significant threat to them.

This couldn’t go on.

Andrea, sitting nearby, listened to their conversation, quietly eating her food as if it had nothing to dowith her.

After Gloria’s condition stabilized, she quickly returned to Reynolds Vista Retreat for recovery.

Due to Leandro’s strict protection, although the incident had stirred up a bit of commotion, due to lackof substantial evidence, the public remained largely uninformed.

To take better care of Gloria, Leandro moved back to Reynolds Vista Retreat.

In the morning, when Leandro visited Gloria, he found her having an IV treatment. Karan was feedingher, and she was eating calmly, bite by bite.

Seeing this, Leandro felt somewhat reassured and left for work.

On his way to the company, Keen arrived early and briefed him about the recent work.novelbin

“Also, I received a call from the Martin Group this morning,” Keen said, “Simon wants to invite you todinner.”

Upon hearing this, Leandro didn’t immediately respond. He just looked at his phone screen.

It displayed the view of Velvetwood. At this time, Seraphina had already brought Valerio Reynoldshome and they were having dinner.

After leaving the hustle and bustle of Sunburst City, she genuinely seemed more relaxed, just like herstate in Summitville, carefree and at ease.

Perhaps leaving Sunburst City was indeed the right choice for her.

Seeing that Leandro didn’t respond, Keen continued after a while, “It seems like the Martin Groupdoesn’t want to continue this war, Simon is indeed a sensible man. This makes Bowen’s position in theMartin Group seem shaky…”

After a while, Leandro commented, “How boring.”

Hearing this, Keen was taken aback.

When Leandro said this, it meant he was not done playing yet.

Even if the Martin Group had intentions for peace, he was not ready to back down.

Keer didn’t voice his opinion. He could only follow his boss’ instructions.

It wasn’t until twenty days later that Simon finally managed to arrange this dinner with Leandro.

In these twenty days, the Martin Group faced another full-scale attack, and the employees barely had achance to catch their breath.

Lionel’s mood flip, along with Leandro’s arrogance and disregard, pissed him off big time. Everyone atthe Martin Group was steamed at Leandro’s actions, wishing they could have a face-off with him.

But Simon was the only one patiently waiting, sending out dinner invites every day, just hoping for aresponse from Leandro.

Just when the Martin Group was pushed to the corner, and resentment was at its peak, Leandrosuddenly changed his tune and accepted the dinner invite.

August at the Enchanted Petals Club was blooming with flowers, intoxicatingly beautiful.

But in the private room surrounded by a sea of flowers, the people with their own thoughts completelyignored the floral feast.

At this meal, Simon, Lionel, Teague, and Bowen from the Martin Group were all present. On theReynolds Group’s side, it was just Leandro and his buddy Keen.

Lionel, with his brooding personality, was peeved but didn’t let it show on his face. Teague, who alwayscared about his dignity, nearly had his eyes popping out at seeing someone more arrogant than him.

Compared to them, Simon remained cool and collected, and Bowen was all smiles, even pouring adrink for Leandro.

In a way, Leandro agreeing to come to this dinner was like accepting the Martin Group’s olive branch.So, at Simon’s dinner, everyone was chatty, and the overall vibe was pretty good, the atmosphere waslight.

“Mr. Reynolds, how’s Seraphina doing lately?” Bowen seized an opportunity to bring up Seraphina. Hesaid, grinning, “I haven’t seen her in ages.”

Hearing this, Leandro lifted his eyes to look at Bowen and said calmly, “She’s in Velvetwood, handlingsome financial matters.”

“Velvetwood,” Bowen said, “Nice place. Looks like Seraphina still has fond memories of it.”

“Doesn’t Sandra Smith also love it there?” Leandro shot back, “You even went out of your way toaccompany her there for a while. You and your sister were very

close.”
