Chapter 354
Herman always thought Leandro’s feelings for Seraphina were all about unconditional giving and
spoiling, truly cherishing her from the bottom of his heart. He didn’t expect to hear about their past
conflicts today, leaving him a bit bewildered for a moment.
Andrea was even more clueless about what was going on between them. Hearing Seraphina recount
her past mental journey, she was quite shocked to imagine what Seraphina had been through.
It turned out, Leandro’s current attentiveness and care towards Seraphina might be his way of making
up for her unfortunate past.
“What did you chat with Vivian about?” Herman asked again.
What did they chat about?
Actually, they didn’t chat about anything.
Back then, she was in so much pain she could barely contain herself. Yet, she couldn’t help but sneak
peeks. In the end, she couldn’t resist showing up in front of Vivian when she was alone on the balcony.
Vivian was originally enjoying the view from the balcony. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and turned her
head to see Seraphina, which left her stunned.
In fact, she had noticed Seraphina the moment Leandro led her in.
It couldn’t be helped. Young girls always have this kind of mutual curiosity, especially when Seraphina
stood on the stairs in a red dress, looking stunning and captivating.
However, Seraphina disappeared soon after, only to reappear now.
“Hello,” Vivian said with a smile, “I’m Vivian.”
Seraphina simply looked at her quietly, her gaze fixed on her face.
In her eyes, Vivian was not exceptionally beautiful, but she was always smiling. The dimples on the
corners of her mouth made her look very cute, and her eyes were bright and lively, clearly a smart and
lively girl.
In contrast, Seraphina felt like a piece of wood.
“Hello?” Seeing that she was not responding, Vivian asked again, “Who are you?”
“I…” For a moment, she even lost her voice. She struggled to say her name, “Seraphina Bet.”
Vivian heard this, looked her up and down, and said, “You’re not a daughter of the Reynolds family, are
you? I thought you were Leandro’s sister!”
Hearing Vivian address Leandro as his name, Seraphina’s hand clenched tightly behind her back, not
even noticing that her nails were digging into her flesh.
Yes, Vivian was his girlfriend, calling him “Leandro” was only natural.
But what about her?
She didn’t even have the right to call his name.

Seeing Seraphina spacing out again, Vivian suddenlyughed, then asked, “Hey! Who the hell are
you?”
Seraphina didn’t know how to answer.
Who was she?
A pitiful, confused orphan living off others’ charity, how could she say that out loud?
Seeing that Seraphina was not answering, Vivian slowly walked up to her, circled around her, and then
said with a smile, “If you won’t talk, let me guess. You’re not a daughter or rtive of the Reynolds
family, but you came down from the second floor, so you might be adopted, or a temporary resident
here, right?”
Upon hearing these words, Seraphina suddenly looked at her.
Vivian continued, “You’re always staring at me, on guard and sad, which means you don’t like me. But
I’m Leandro’s girlfriend, why don’t you like me? Could it be that you like Leandro?”
Upon hearing these words, Seraphina’s body stiffened, even breathing became difficult, she wanted to
run away.
Vivianughed again, then slowly said, “It seems I guessed right. But he’s my boyfriend now.”
This sentence seemed to finally awaken Seraphina, she finally understood the situation.
Leandro brought her home, introduced her to his family, she was his girlfriend.
Leandro was this woman’s boyfriend, what right did Seraphina have to stand here?
Finally, Seraphina turned around, unable to control herself, she decided to run away.
Vivian stood behind her, watching her hurriedly running away, stillughing and calling out to her, “Hey,
don’t run-”
How could she not-run?
What reason did she have to stay?
She returned to her room, closed the door, and sat on the floor.
After a while, a group of people from the Reynolds family came, they broke in.
When she faced these people, her face was pale, full of fear.
“it must be her! It must be her” Nte Reynolds said, “Look at how scared she is! She must be the
one who pushed that girl off the balcony!”
“I saw Ms. Bet talking to Ms. Smith on the balcony…”
“Seraphina! You’re so young, how could you do such a thing?”
“So heartless!”
Г
“So malicious!”
People were using her left and right. Even though she couldn’t understand what they were saying,
she was still considered a criminal.
Leonard Reynolds pped her, and Nte strangled her neck, forcing her to confess her crime.
In the midst of being attacked by everyone, she desperately searched for Leandro’s figure. When she
finally saw him, who was standing outside the crowd with an expressionless face, nced at her for a
while, then turned and left.
“Were you thest one with Vivian on the balcony?” Herman asked.
Seraphina shrugged, “I was when I left.”
“In that case, it might have been an ident.” The cop nearby said.
“It’s been so long, it’s hard to verify whether it was an ident or not,” Herman said, “Unless someone
admits tomitting the crime…”
Seraphina lounged on the couch, casually saying, “Don’t look at me, I’m not gonna confess.”
Herman nced at her and slowly said, “I didn’t say it was you.”
Seraphina couldn’t help butugh, then said, “Alright, I’ve spilled all the beans. Now, it’s your turn to
chase up Leandro.”
At her words, all eyes in the room turned to her.
“You’re saying Leandro knows the real scoop?” Herman frowned slightly.
Seraphina let out a slow breath, saying, “I didn’t exactly say that. Just that Vivian is the new girlfriend
he brought home that day. Whether it’s true or false, he shouldn’t let her out of his sight for too long. I
only know my own affairs, he might know something else.”
After hearing this, Herman pondered for a while, then stood up. “I’m off then. I’ll hit you up if I need
anything.”
Seraphina, loungingzily with a pillow, waved them off.
Watching Herman and another cop leave, Andrea reached out to grip Seraphina’s hand. “You suspect
Leandro knows the truth, so why don’t you grill him?”
Seraphina turned to look at her, gave a softugh, and slowly said, “If this was just a fluke, he would’ve
spilled the beans eight years ago. If there’s a culprit, everyone suspected that day belongs to the
Reynolds family. Even if he knows who did it, do you think he’d sing like a canary?”
