Chapter 261
Seraphina seemed oblivious to the subtle change on his face, turned around to order another drink,
and then asked him, “Do you want a drink?”
Keeley signaled the bartender and then turned to Seraphina, “How many have you had?”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow, smiled and said, “How much do I need to drink before she’s okay?”
Keeley stared at her quietly for a moment, “Is she important to you?”
“Very important.”
“How important?”
Seraphina turned to look at him, speaking slowly, “If I knew who hurt her, I’d do anything to get
revenge.”
Upon hearing this, Keeley calmly asked, “Wasn’t it an ident?”

“An ident?” Seraphina tilted her head slightly, “Every ident has its cause. She was always
careful when driving, so if she had an ident, she was either distracted or met with an unexpected
event. Either way, there must be a reason.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Seraphina reached over and took the drink the bartender had
handed to another customer.
The original owner of the drink turned to look at her, and Seraphina smiled at him. The man quickly
made a generous ‘go ahead’ gesture. Keeley once again tried to stop Seraphina, “You’re just too
heartbroken to ept the truth, so you’re overthinking it.”.
“Am I?” Seraphina chuckled, returning the question.
“Or what?”
Seraphina suddenly nced at him, “Did you forget what I do for a living?”
Keeley simply stared at her, waiting for her to continue.
“I’m a journalist. I’ve investigated countless cases, big and small. I know whether the ident was an
ident or not.” Seraphinaughed lightly, her smile faint, “I won’t let anyone involved in her ident
off the hook.”
“What will you do?” Keeley asked.
Seraphina took the opportunity to drink the cocktail she had swiped, then resolutely said, “I’ll get
revenge.”
After saying this, she suddenly turned to look at him, “That day, you left in a hurry and I couldn’t reach
you. Where did you go?”
Hearing this, Keeley slowly smiled, “You think I had something to do with your friend’s ident?”
“If you were not involved, I would not wrongfully use you. If you were, I would not let you off.”
Seraphina said, “I will find out.” With that, Seraphina stood up, swaying slightly as she walked away.
In the crowded and noisy crowd, there were always people reaching out to help her. Seraphina always
had a smile on her face, but it gradually disappeared.
She no longer needed to check the surveince videos for evidence. At this moment, she was sure that
Keeley was involved in Sandra’s ident!
As she walked out of the bar, a cold wind hit her in the face. Seraphina closed her eyes and stood still
for a moment. When she opened her eyes again, Keeley had followed her..
“You’re drunk.” Keeley grabbed her hand, “I’ll take you home.”
Seraphina forcefully pulled her hand away and coldly said, “I’m fine.”
Keeley looked down at his hand andughed, “So, you think I’m guilty?”
Seraphina slowly looked at him, saying, “I’ve said that if you’re innocent, I won’t wrong you. But now, I
don’t have any leads, so I n to start with you, okay?”
Keeley crossed his arms, looking at her with an air of nonchnce, “How do you n to investigate?”
“Everything about you.” Seraphina said, “Your social rtionships, your call records, all your
whereabouts, everyone who has been around
you.”
Keeley listened, still looking at her calmly, “What can these prove?”
“Oh, they can prove a lot,” Seraphina chuckled, “You once said you didn’t know who the mastermind
behind my kidnapping was, you just did the job for the money. This means you didn’t directly contact
your employer, there was a middleman, your aplice, right? And you were the executor of the case,
maybe there’s a nner among you, or an organizer, or even more people. Some people, some things,
always leave traces. If I thoroughly look into all your information, do you think I’ll find nothing? Whether
it’s a month, a year, or
ten years, I’ll keep looking and eventually I’ll find out. Then, I’ll know who hurt her.”
During Seraphina’s speech, Keeley’s eyes gradually deepened. When she finished, he slowly regained
hisposure, reached out again, “You’re really drunk.”
“So what?” Seraphina said, “Drunk or not, I’ll still investigate! Didn’t you say that people should do what
they want to do and live the life they want to live? Right now, this is what I want to do, this is what I’m
going to do!”
Keeley suddenly took a step closer to her, his voice slightly lower, “I don’t care what you want to do, but
don’t investigate the people and things behind me.”
Hearing this, Seraphina squinted at him, “Why?”
“Because it will get you killed.” Keeley’s face hadpletely calmed down as he seriously looked at
Seraphina.
Seraphina suddenlyughed.
“What will you do?” Seraphina asked, “Like the previous kidnapping case, n another murder and kill
me quietly?”
“I’m serious.” Keeley said, “You should take my words seriously.”
Seraphina looked at him, “Will it be you who kills me? I wonder if you’ll show mercy and let me die
quickly.”
Perhaps feeling pressured by her, Keeley reached out and grabbed her wrist hard, causing Seraphina
to cry out in pain.
At her cry, the bodyguards who had been hiding nearby immediately appeared and quickly separated
the two.
“I know you’re drunk today.” Keeley said, “But you must remember what I’ve said!”
Seraphina gave a scrutinizing look at the bodyguards in front of her, cast a slightly mocking nce at
Keeley, and then said, “Do you understand now? I am Mrs. Reynolds. With my status and position, do
you really have the authority to question what I want to do?”
Having said that, Seraphina turned on her heel and climbed into her car.
“Seraphina!”
Keeley’s hoarse voice called her name, but Seraphina simply shut the car door, blocking out all noise.
As the car smoothly pulled away, Seraphina sat with her eyes tightly closed, her expression cold. She
reached up to press a hand against her forehead.
“Are we heading home?” the driver asked after they had driven for a while.
Slowly, Seraphina opened her eyes. “to the hospital.”
The hospital was eerily quiet in the dead of night. Seraphina made her way upstairs. The elevator and
the corridors were deserted.
It wasn’t until she reached the door of the ICU where Sandra was that she saw another soul.
Bowen was standing quietly by the room’s window, silently watching Sandra, whoy inside.
