Chapter 236
Hearing Seraphina’s response, Keeley let out a sarcastic chuckle, and said, “I can’t see how you’d
want to be someone else’s woman? Would a woman like you be willing to live for a man?”
At this, Seraphina also smiled, “Who isn’t living for themselves? I’m someone who knows how to adapt.
When I need to bow down, I do so, and when need to protect myself, that’s what I do. You can call me
selfish, but it’s not my fault.”
Keeley smirked, “So you betrayed me to protect yourself?”
“You made things so ambiguous and let him see. Seraphina shrugged. “I had no choice”
“You “Keeley suddenly took two steps closer to Seraphina.
Abbot, standing nearby, was on alert, ready to protect Seraphina at any moment.
Keeley caught this from the corner of his eye and sneered again.
Seraphina looked at him and said softly, “So, you should never be too overconfident. Don’t blindly trust
people, and don’t think you can beat anyone…. Remember my words, they might be your life
motto someday”
“Hal” Keeley suddenlyughed out loud, then after a moment, he nodded slowly looking at Seraphina
and said. T’ll remember you.”
With that, Keeley turned around and walked into the darkness.
Soon after, the sound of a motorcycle roared from around the corner, and then quickly disappeared into
the night.
Seraphina was still watching the direction Keeley had gone when a vorce came from behind her, “You
actually let him go. Aren’t you afraid of all your efforts being wasted?”
Seraphina chuckled and turned to see Terrell.
Terrell walked up to her, also looking in the direction Keeley had gone, saying. “He hasn’t fully
recovered yet. He snuck out of the hospital today, I thought he was going to see someone important,
but it turned out it was you
Seraphina nced at him, “What? I’m not important?”
“Of course you are” Terrell said with his arms crossed. He probably hates you right now”
Seraphina justughed, “Haven’t you heard, love is the opposite of hate?”
Terrell gave her a look, then after a moment said, “You really are good at getting to people’s hearts.”
“How so?” Seraphina asked pretending to be confused.
“Keeley, he’s from a well-off family lived a carefree life since he was young and was a good student, but
after his parents passed away, he changed. He started to mingle with the wrong crowd, became a self-
proimed expert criminal. Obviously, he has this in his DNA restrained by his parents, but when they
left, he had no more worries”
Seraphina nodded in agreement.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Terrell continued, “He likes the thrill of danger, the more dangerous, the better. To him, you probably
are the most thrilling and dangerous.”
Seraphina patted his hand lightly. “You’ve done a good job watching him, even though you haven’t
interacted directly, you’ve got a good read on his
character”
“What I’m willing to do depends on the payoff Terrell said, “When’s payday?”
Seraphina nced at his outstretched hand, shook it, and thenughed, “Don’t always talk about
money, it spoils the mood! Let’s talk about… who Keeley interacted with while he was in the hospital
With that, Seraphina led Terrell to the door of the drawing room, unlocked it and walked in.
They talked in Seraphina’s office untilte at night.
Keeley was a man with no family ties, his rtionships seemed simple, but because he was a good
student when he was young and had many friends, there were a lot of people who came to visit him in
the hospital.
Terrell had done a good job. He put all the basic information of the visitors in front of Seraphina.
Seraphina looked it over carefully, furrowing her brow. “There doesn’t seem to be anyone suspicious,
but investigating these people one by one would be a big project”
Terrell listened and didn’tment.
Seraphina continued, “Besides these people who came to visit him, did he interact with others in the
hospital. even a passing encounter could be a message”
Keeley was slick, his aplices were no ordinary people, they either disguised themselves as
ordinary or hid in the shadows, not revealing themselves easily.
“Do you know what you’re saying?” Keeley said, “Do you think I have superpowers?”
At this, Seraphina just smiled, “I do believe… you can do anything”
Hearing this, Terrell paused, gave her a look, and then took out another file, This man met Keeley at
the vending machine, although there was no explicit interaction, I feel like there was something
between them.”
Seraphina took the file, looking at Terrell, “Can you change your habit of hiding your abilities all the
time? Shouldn’t you be honest with me your partner?”
“That’s just my style.” Terrell said, “If you have a problem with it, we don’t have to work together.”
“Fine, fine, no problem: Seraphina quickly said, “What’s the big deal? There’s plenty of time, I can get
used to it!”
With that, she rolled her eyes at Terrell, who didnt argue with her anymore.
Just as Seraphina was about to look at the file in her hand, there was a knock at the door.
Then, Keen pushed the door open, stuck his head in, “Mrs. Reynolds, Mr. Reynolds is waiting for you
downstairs.”
Tve got stuff to do Seraphina answered without even looking up, “Just tell him to head back first.”
Keen paused for a moment before slowly saying. “Mr. Reynolds has been waiting downstairs for two
hours.”
Only then did Seraphina look up, and her eyes met Terrell’s.
Leonard waited silently for two hours downstairs?
That didn’t sound like his style.
But considering his recent actions, it wasn’t entirely surprising.
To keep the peace at home, Seraphina decisively closed the file in her hands and told Terrell, I’ll check
these documents at home, we’ll touch baseter.”
Hearing her response, Keen seemed relieved and left with the door closed behind him.
Watching Seraphina pack up her files, Terrell slowly said, “You’re Leandro’s wife, thedy of the
Reynolds family. Do you really need to work this hard for all this stuff?”
Upon hearing this, Seraphina nced at him and slowly said, “Because I remember who I am. What
about you, do you remember who you are?”
