Chapter 103


    On the same morning it was all calm and peaceful inside Reynolds Manor


    When the youngest daughter of the Reynolds family, Nte Reynolds, walked into the hall, she saw


    Gloria sitting alone on the living room couch, holding a tablet, engrossed in something


    Approaching Glona. Nte asked, “Weren’t you supposed to have breakfast with dad today? Why are


    you home alone?”


    Setting down her tablet, Glona calmly responded, “Everyone’s got their own stuff to do, they’ve all gone


    out Didn’t you alsoe back alone?”


    Seeing Gloria’s downcast expression, Nte nced at the tablet she had just put down. “What are


    you looking at all by yourself?”


    “What else could it be? Glona replied with a glum face, “The dignity of the Reynolds family has been


    thrown away!”


    Upon hearing this Nte immediately understood, “Is it because of Seraphina? I also watched the


    interview. She’s already rified that she has nothing to do with Leandro, isn’t that good? This way


    Leandro won’t be unfairly linked to her, and nobody in our family has to bother with her anymore”


    Glona gave her a nce, “Do you really think Seraphina can be easily dismissed“”


    “Are you worried she’ll keep clinging to Leandro?” asked Nte, “Then why didn’t she want the title of


    future granddaughter–inw of the Reynolds family?”


    Glona scoffed, “How would I know her crafty tricks?”


    Upon hearing this, Nte nodded pensively. “You’re right. Her return this time demonstrates that


    she’s no ordinary individual, otherwise, none of this would have transpired. It’s ood that both dad and


    Bruce are shielding her, and we’re rendered helpless.”


    As the conversation unfolded, Glona appeared increasingly agitated. She furrowed her brow, pressing


    lier hand against her forehead.


    After a moment of silence, an idea struck Nte, “Why not arrange a good marriage for her? It would


    be more beneficial for her to meddle in another family than the Reynolds family”


    Gloria scoffed, ‘Do you think dad and Bruce would allow her to marry just anybody?”


    “I didn’t suggest she marry just anybody Nte retorted with a slight smirk, “There are numerous


    high–profile families in Sunburst City. Can’t we identify one that dad and


    Bruce would endorse?”


    When Seraphina returned to Reynolds Manor for lunch, she was just in time to dine with Conway


    Conway didn’t mind her staying out all night, but he had a lot to say about the interview she did


    “Did you deny your rtionship with him because you’re upset that Valerio is Leandro’s biological son?


    Conway asked.


    After peeling a shrimp for Conway, Seraphina sighed helplessly, “Grandpa, do I look like a petty person


    to you?


    “Then tell me, why did you say that?” Conway pushed away the shrimp she had given him, showing her


    no respect.


    I’m doing all this for the Reynolds family Seraphina said, “I have a bad reputation, who knows what I


    might do in the future. If I get involved with your grandson, it will only harm the Reynolds family”


    Conway picked up a fork and tapped it on Seraphina’s head, “What nonsense are you talking about!”


    “Neither your grandson nor I like each other. Only you are hoping for it.” Seraphina answered. “Please


    stop ying matchmaker for us


    Just as she finished speaking,ughter came from outside the room, “What are you guys chatting


    about? It looks so heated“”


    Seraphina turned to see Nte walking in with a big smile on her face. She greeted Conway, then


    called out to Seraphina, “Sera”


    Seraphina rolled her eyes


    Nte, her aunt, usually had a stern face. Today, she was suddenly so friendly, which was strange


    Seraphina quickly responded with a smile. “Good morning, why did youe alone?”


    Nte sat down at the dining table, “We had nned to have lunch with you and Conway, but


    everyone else was busy, so I came alone. Dad, why did you move back to Reynolds Manor? It’s so


    cold and quiet here, it’s not easy for us to have a meal with you.”


    Conway was probably still mad at Seraphina, so he didn’t have a good face for Nte, his usually


    doted daughter, “I dont need yourpany, go do whatever you want


    Nte, who always knew how to please Conway, quickly smoothed things over. They hadn’t even


    eaten much when the topic turned to Seraphina.


    “Sera, I originally thought your rtionship with Leandro was real I was happy for you. Unexpectedly,


    you suddenly announced it was fake. I was so let down”


    Seraphina bit her fork, struggling to hold back herughter as she listened to Nte


    “But it’s better this way” Nte continued. “I know quite a few eligible bachelors How about introduce


    you to one?!


    Upon hearing this, Seraphina immediately agreed, “Sure, thank you so much!‘


    “You’re wee.” Nte replied, “You’re a girl raised in our family and you’re so beautiful. The single


    men in Sunburst City are all yours for the taking”


    Conway slowly closed his eyes, pretending not to see anything.


    Reynolds Group


    On a Saturday afternoon at two, the atmosphere inside the high level meeting room on the top floor


    was tense.


    The meeting had been ongoing for a strenuous five hours. The participants, all exhibiting pallid


    complexions and nerves on edge, were fixated on theputer screens


    before them


    Proposals that were rejected weremanded to be revised immediately, and if turned down again, to


    be reworked anew. The only individual capable of enforcing such a relentless regimen was likely the


    upromising president of the Reynolds Group, currently presiding over the meeting


    Leandro upied the chairperson’s seat, maintaining a poker face as he listened to the fresh round of


    pitches.


    An elder executive, visibly tired, was subtly signaling Yasmina from the side Yasmina understood that


    the team was undoubtedly fatigued after a five hour meeting Thus, after this round of pitches was


    mercilessly dismissed by Leandro once more, she cautiously proposed, “Mr. Reynolds, it’s already past


    two Everyone hasn’t had lunch yet and might be running low on energy Perhaps we could resume post


    lunch?”


    No sooner had shepleted her statement than the phone resting on Leandro’s table sprung to life.


    Leandro picked up the phone to find a message from Seraphina


    “Your Aunt Nte is nning to introduce me lo a boyfriend. What do you think about this? If you


    object, I won’t agree.”


    Leandro read the message twice, then put down the phone and said in a heavy voice, “Continue.”

    Yasmina couldn’t help but shrink her neck and didn’t say anything more


    The meeting, originally scheduled tost three hours, ended up going until five in the afternoon. Only


    then were the exhausted people allowed to leave


    After the meeting, Leandro had another meeting with the Europe branch, spending the whole day in the


    office


    At eight in the evening, his phone rang again This time it was a call from Herman Garcia.


    Knowing that Leandro was busy with work, Herman rarely initiated contact. Leandro answered the call


    and heard Herman say, “Leandro, what’s Seraphina up to? Why is she going on a blind date with my


    brother now?”
