Chapter 355


    A bitter, the police finally released a statement about the case.


    The statement detailed the parties involved: Edwin, Seraphina, Leandro, and Vivian, and gave a blow-


    by-blow ount of Edwin’s trouble-making behavior. It also revisited Vivian’s fall from a building, and


    concluded that the incident was an ident.


    Once the detailed case report hit the newsstands, it was picked up by a ton of official media outlets.


    The irrational chatter quieted down quite a bit, but a few stubborn skeptics still questioned whether the


    Reynolds family was using their deep pockets to cover up the truth.


    Shortly after, Keen, acting as Leandro’s special assistant, took some heat from the media.


    In the interview, he mentioned Vivian’s fall and said that Leandro has been financially supporting the


    Smith family for years, with all payments on record.


    Over the past couple of years, Edwin had voiced his dissatisfaction with the amount of money he had


    received, but Leandro had continued to provide financial aid as usual.


    After the interview was released, the online conversation took a sharp turn. Most people thought that


    Edwin had intentionally caused this incident out of greed, hoping to scare Leandro, but ended up


    getting himself pped with a charge of causing trouble.


    When Seraphina saw the case report, she was hanging out with Andrea.


    After reading the report, she handed her tablet to Andrea, Andrea took it, read the report carefully, and


    then looked at thements below.


    “These people are ridiculous,” Andrea couldn’t help butment halfway through. “They start yelling


    before they know the whole story, and now that they know they were wrong, they’re rushing to criticize


    others. Have they ever thought about apologizing for their misguidedments?”


    J


    “Admitting you’re wrong takes a lot of courage,” Seraphina said. “It’s always easier to throw stones at


    others. This kind of thing happens all the time, why are you still surprised?”


    Andrea slowly said, “I never really paid attention to this stuff.”


    “I know,” Seraphina said lightly, “our Andrea is too good for this earthly mess.”


    Andrea didn’t respond to her joke. She spent a few more moments staring at the tablet before saying, “I


    suppose the police have already questioned Leandro before releasing this report, right?”


    “Of course,” Seraphina said. “Herman’s always thorough.”


    “So, Leandro’s statement is that Vivian’s fall was an ident,” Andrea said.


    Seraphina shrugged, “That answer isn’t exactly a shocker, is it?”


    “But do you really care whether it’s true or not?”


    “Of course I care,” Seraphina said with a slight smile. “No one cares more than I do. Until there’s solid


    evidence, I choose to believe it was an ident. But if evidence proves otherwise, whoever’s


    responsible will have hell to pay.”


    That night, when Leandro got home, Seraphina was already in bed.


    She had just dozed off when she heard noises from outside. Usually, Leandro’s pretty quiet when he


    comes home, but tonight, it sounded like he wasn’t alone.


    Curious, Seraphina got up and sneakily opened the door to peek outside, and sure enough, she saw


    Keen apanying Leandro up the stairs.


    Even though Seraphina barely made a sound when she opened the door, Leandro still turned to look at


    her.


    For some reason, she thought he looked a tad pale, but after a closer look, she couldn’t put her finger


    on what was different.


    So, Seraphina decided to fully open the door and ask, “Workingte again?”


    “No,” Keen hurriedly replied. “Just finished entertaining guests, I’m bringing Mr. Reynolds home.”


    After he finished speaking, Leandro had already reached Seraphina and took her hand to lead her into


    the room.


    His hand was slightly cold, which was a change from his usual warm and dry grip.


    Surprised, Seraphina gave him a quick look, then saw a bag in Keen’s hand. She asked, “What’s that


    you’re holding?”


    Keen remembered the bag in his hand and quickly handed it over, “It’s Mr. Reynolds’ medicine.”


    ‘Medicine?” Seraphina took it from him, “What kind of medicine?”


    “Just some stomach medicine,” Leandro answered nonchntly. Then he turned to Keen and said,


    “You can leave now.”


    Keen responded but couldn’t help giving Seraphina another nce before turning to leave.


    .Seraphina opened the bag and saw that it was indeed medicine for the stomach.


    Frowning, she turned to Leandro and asked, “You drank so much at the party that you need stomach


    medicine?*


    As Leandro walked into the room, he said, “Even without the medicine, it wouldn’t be a big deal.”


    Seraphina watched him walk into the bathroom, then turned and went downstairs.


    Sure enough, Keen was still waiting downstairs with a ss of ice water prepared for Leandro.


    Mrs. Reynolds, seeing Seraphinae down, he immediately handed over the ss of water and


    detailed the instructions for the medicine.


    As she looked at the medicine in her hand, Seraphina asked, “Was the party that important? You had to


    drink so much that you need medicine?”


    “Well, the party was indeed important, but Mr. Reynolds only had two drinks,” Keen exined. “It might


    be because he’s been working too hard and eating irregrly, so his stomach hurts. It’s an old problem.


    Mr. Reynolds doesn’t pay much attention to it, so he only takes medicine when he remembers. But now


    that you’re here,


    he should take better care.”


    After hearing this, Seraphina rolled her eyes, “He doesn’t take care of his own health, thenes


    honte sick so I have to take care of him?”


    With that, Seraphina turned and went back upstairs.

    When Leandro came out of the bathroom after his shower, Seraphina wasn’t in the room. Beside the


    bed were the medicine he was supposed to take and a ss of ice water.


    Leandro plunked down by the bed, about to take a sip of water when bam, the door swung open.


    Seraphina strode in, with another ss of water in hand, gave him a ring look and coldly


    commanded, “Put it down.”


    And indeed, Leandro did as told, setting down his water ss.


    Stepping forward, Seraphina handed him the refilled soft stic cup she was holding. “Drink this. Take


    your meds.”


    Each word, every sentence from her was like an order, and Leandro was surprisingly obedient, swiftly


    downing his pills and guzzling most of the water.


    Patting his head with satisfaction, Seraphina said, “Leandro, such a good boy.”


    Upon hearing this, Leandro’s expression dimmed a notch. He reached out, pulling her into his arms.


    “What did you say?”


    “I said, you need to behave. Take your meds on time, go to bed early, eat meals regrly, and no more


    drinking when you have a stomachache.” Seraphina slowly spelled it out. “Will you listen or not?”


    Leandro looked at her silently for a moment, eyes half-closed. He slowly asked, “What’s it to you


    whether I listen or not?”


    “Oh my, are you defying me?” Seraphina reached out to pinch his face, “What’s the use of a husband


    who doesn’t listen? I want a divorce!”


    Leandro caught her hand in a tight grip.


    “Ouch…” Seraphina couldn’t help but yelp in pain.


    The next moment, Leandro said, “Alright, I’ll behave
