Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 371

At night, after tucking Valerio into bed, Andrea turned to the living room only to find Seraphina stillsitting by her computer.

She had already compiled detailed pictures of the restaurant and posted them to her old social circles,as well as various social media platforms asking for help.

Seraphina sat in front of her computer, meticulously going through each feedback.

“How’s it going?” Andrea walked over and asked in a low voice, “Any useful information?”

“Not yet,” Seraphina replied, “But I believe we’ll have something soon. Even though these guys are justregular journalists, they can be pretty influential when they band together.”

Before she could finish, a “ding-dong” sound came from her computer. She immediately turned to see aprivate message.

The message was from a journalist she knew before. After some chit-chat, he quickly sent over a fewpictures of the restaurant. Each detail in the photos perfectly matched the previous ones!

Seraphina immediately got excited and asked for the restaurant’s address. The answer she got wassomewhere in Moonhaven.

She quickly thanked him and turned to Andrea, “If the restaurant is indeed in Moonhaven, I can go andcheck it out tomorrow.”

Andrea fell silent for a moment, then said, “But we’re going back home tomorrow, is there enoughtime?”

Seraphina chuckled, “Definitely not. You and Valerio can go back first, I’ll follow once everything’ssorted.”

Andrea shrugged, glanced at the computer in front of her, and said, “You don’t have to explain to me.”

With that, he stood up and headed upstairs.

Seraphina sat for a while, then opened a minimized video call software. The view of Leandro’s officeceiling appeared on the screen.

Seraphina quietly watched for a moment, then picked up the nearby headphones and put them on.

“Hello?” she said slowly, “Anyone there?”

After a moment, the screen on the other end moved.

Leandro’s expressionless face appeared in front of the camera.

Seraphina sat hugging her legs, quietly watching him but said nothing.

The fact that he responded at her call meant he was always near his phone, he must have heard herconversation with Andrea.

Sure enough, after a while, Leandro spoke, “Is there something you want to tell me?”

“Well…” Seraphina carefully said, “Could you have Keen come over and take Valerio back? School’sabout to start, he needs to attend.”

“Is there anything else?” Leandro asked.

Seraphina pursed her lips, then said, “Also, I might stay here a bit longer. I want to find out who’smessing with us and their motive.”

“Just for that?”

“Then what else could it be?”

Leandro silently observed Seraphina for a moment, then said, “By choosing to stay, aren’t you fallingfor their trap?”

Seraphina gave a slight chuckle and replied, “I’ve always been good at taking advantage of situations.Since they’ve given me an opportunity, I’ll certainly seize it.”

Leandro fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

“Don’t you agree?” Seraphina asked.

Leandro paused for a few seconds, then said, “It’s your decision.”

He would always support her.

Even though he wished she could come back at this moment, he knew that every day she was aroundwould be another day of trouble for Gloria.

“Then you carry on,” Seraphina said, “I won’t disturb you.”

She was about to continue with her work when Leandro suddenly said, “No, you’re not disturbing me.”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina paused for a moment, then asked softly, “is work busy recently?”

“Not really,” Leandro replied.

“Do you get off work on time every day?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s good,” said Seraphina.

After she finished, she didn’t know what else to ask. But on the screen, Leandro was still quietly lookingat her, as if waiting for her to continue.

Seraphina silently watched him, then finally said, “Leandro, I will come back.”

Hearing this, Leandro’s eyes flickered slightly, then he softly responded, “Okay.”

The next day at noon, Keen arrived in Velvetwood very quickly after receiving the urgent task.

Seraphina had been waiting for him, finally handing over Andrea and Valerio to him when he arrived.

Valerio found it hard to accept leaving Seraphina, holding tightly onto her clothes.

It took Seraphina a long time to comfort him, finally managing to convince him.

Andrea didn’t say much, just told Seraphina, “Be careful.”

“Don’t worry,” Seraphina said, “This is my turf.”

After seeing them off, Seraphina immediately headed to Moonhaven.

Two hours later, Seraphina walked into the restaurant.

It was a very ordinary restaurant. Seraphina ordered a set meal and took out Bowen’s picture, askingthe server, “Do you remember these two?”novelbin

There were five servers in the restaurant. Seraphina asked all of them but got no affirmative answers.

Considering it was a restaurant located downtown with a large number of customers, it would indeedbe hard for the servers to remember Bowen if he only came occasionally.

Seraphina then turned to the restaurant’s surveillance camera.

“How long do you usually keep the surveillance footage?” she asked.

“Two weeks.”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina was obviously disappointed.

The news Keen brought back from home was that Bowen did often travel between Moonhaven andSunburst City, but it seemed he hadn’t left Sunburst City at all in the past month.

This meant that the odds of finding any clues in this restaurant were pretty much zilch. Seraphinamindlessly munched on a few bites of food, preparing to leave when out of the blue, she got a call froman old co-worker.

“I’ve got the info on the phone number you were looking for,” her former colleague told her. “Thenumber is a landline for an apartment near the restaurant.”

A landline? Hearing this, Seraphina almost burst out laughing.

It seemed like the puppet master really had laid out the red carpet for her, just waiting for her to stepinto the unknown.

“Is there a specific address?” Seraphina asked.

Her former co-worker shot the exact address to her phone in no time. As she looked at the address,Seraphina took a deep breath.

Just as she thought, the apartment was right around the corner from the restaurant.

Right now, she was dying to know, who on earth was living in that apartment.
