Chapter 239
Magnolia’s phone call was short and she quickly hung up and returned to Seraphina.
“Sorry, I’ve got some stuff to handle,” Magnolia said, casting a nce at the concert ticket in
Seraphina’s hand. “Anyway, I’m really looking forward to having you and Mr. Reynolds there.”
Hearing this, Seraphina cracked a smile. “No worries, we’ll definitely show up.”
Magnolia gave her another nce, nodded and then turned to leave
As Seraphina watched her walk away, Sandy, the gallery’s secretary, quickly came over and asked who
that was.
Seraphina handed her the concert ticket, and when Sandy took a look, she gasped, “Wow, a cellist! No
wonder she’s so ssy
Seraphina gave her a sidelongck, “Really ssy?”
Taken aback, Sandy quicklyughed and said, “Well, not as ssy as you, of course”
Seraphina put out her hand and gently poked her head, “Stop buttering me up with ttery! I’m just an
average person. If I had as much fame as a famous artist, that would be werd”
Sandy chuckled a bit. Fortunately, she knew Seraphina wasn’t a petty person and justughed it off.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Meanwhile, as Magnolia left the gallery, she felt a bit disappointed about meeting Seraphina.
The feeling was clear-
Indeed, Seraphina was stunning, breathtakingly beautiful, indescribably so.
But there are many beautiful women in the world and beauty is subjective. Is appearance really that
important?
Plus, Seraphina’s beauty was a bit too shy.
Yet, Leandro ended up marrying this kind of woman.
Did this mean that his judgment of women was solely based on physical appearance?
As Magnolia sat in the slowly moving car, she closed her eyes and sank into deep thought.
Back in her office, Seraphina stared at the two concert tickets in her hand for a while then decisively
made a phone call to Keen.
“What’s Leandro up to Seraphina asked directly, “Why isn’t he picking up his phone?”
Upon hearing this, Keen quickly replied. “Mr. Reynolds is busy at the moment, Mrs. Reynolds. Is there
an emergency?”
“Yes, it’s urgent,” said Seraphina. “Come over right now, pronto!
After she hung up. Keen was left a bit confused but quickly gathered his things.
“What’s going on? Yasmina asked him.
“Mrs. Reynolds says there’s an emergency and needs me to go over right away.” Keen replied. Tell Mr.
Reynolds when he’s done.” Yasmina chuckled, “Go ahead. You’re dealing with Mrs. Reynolds’ errands.
Even if you didn’t tell Mr. Reynolds, he wouldn’t be mad or me you” Keen gave her a nce, then
hurned off
When he arrived at the gallery everything was calm and there seemed to be no signs of an emergency
Keen had a bad feeling but mustered up the courage to walk into Seraphina’s office, Mrs. Reynolds,
what can I do for you?”
Seraphina had been looking at some documents, but when she saw him, she just smiled slightly.
Her smile made Keen even more uneasy and he stood there stiffly.
“It’s not a big deal, Seraphina opened a drawer, took out the two tickets and put them in front of Keen
“But it can’t be dyed. People are eager to get these tickets to me and I can’t hold onto them forever.
What if it dys your Mr. Reynolds’ reunion with others?”
Keen took a look at the two concert tickets on the table and was taken aback
Seeing his awkward expression, Seraphina continued. “You imed you didn’t know her yesterday,
what about now?”
–
“Mrs. Reynolds “Keen paused for a while before saying, “Don’t get the wrong idea. Mr. Reynolds
doesn’t really have anything to do with her –
“Keep spinning your yarn, Seraphina looked at him sideways.
“I don’t know what she told you, Keen hurriedly said. “But Mr. Reynold’s definitely didn’t sleep with her
Seraphina slowly raised her eyes. “Oh, so they didn’t sleep together? Does that mean he had feelings
for her?”
Hearing this, Keen froze and didn’t know how to respond
In reality. Leandro’s thoughts were so profound, whether or not he had real feelings for her, how could
he, a mere assistant, know?
Spring his reaction, Seraphina couldn’t help but let out a coldugh, “Alright, enough. Take these
tickets from his ex-girlfriend and get lost. And by the way, tell them both to stay away from me!”
Keen hadn’t expected to encounter such a situation and was feeling troubled when he heard
Seraphina’s words. He blurted out, “No, Mr. Reynolds merely sponsored her to study abroad. She’s
definitely not his ex-girlfriend…”
Sponsored her to study abroad?
oter
A lot of things suddenly made sense to Seraphina but she was still surprised and threw the pen in her
hand at Keen.
“Sponsorship? That’s really nice! Seraphina stood up immediately. ‘He’s a businessman, why would he
do something without a return? Is it a sponsorship or is he her sugar daddy? Or did he buy her off with
a lump sum?’
Seraphina was all fierce and serious, making Keen feel like a deer in the headlights. All he could
manage to say was, ‘Mrs Reynolds, there really was nothing going on between Mr. Reynolds and her. It
was Edgar Lamont and his pals who arranged for Magnolia to be sent to Mr. Reynolds’ private room.
Mr. Reynolds really didn’t do anything, they just chatted all night. Then I gave her some money and told
her to go abroad…”
Seraphina quickly absorbed this new information. After a moment of digestion, the whole situation
seemed to be clear
Six years ago, when Leandro was probably going through the hardest time, Edgar and his gang
arranged for a pretty, cultured girl to be sent to him. And Leandro seemed to have taken a liking to her,
even having the mood to sponsor her overseas music studies in that situation… It seems like he really
cared
Seraphina paused and bit her lip lightly. She then scoffed, “They chatted all night and you were there
the whole time?”
Keen paused, deciding to tell the truth, “No”
Then how can you be so sure Leandro didn’t touch her?” Seraphina shot back, “Maybe they’ve already
had a thing, how much do you really know? You’re here making guarantees to me?!
Keen was speechless
But thinking back to that night, when Leandro came out of the private room, he was still fully dressed.
And apart from a slight redness around Magnolia’s eyes, there was nothing different about her. She
didn’t look like something had happened. Moreover, after that night, Leandro didnt have any contact
with Magnolia except for giving her money, and Magnolia hadn’t returned to Sunburst City for many
years. That’s why he was so sure nothing had happened between them.
But this was indeed a scandal, and it was evident that Seraphina was jealous. Why did he have to take
the heat for this?
Poor Keen. He felt he was being treated unfairly and had the worst luck.
