Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 182

‘Ferne”

Before Seraphina could respond to Ferne’s words, Leandro had already spoken again. He merely

called out her name, but there was such an icy chill in his voice that it seemed to come from the

bottomless depths of a dark abyss, making it impossible for anyone to look directly into his eyes.

Although Leandro was generally mild in his interactions with his family, his aura was intimidating to

others, especially to employees of the Reynolds Group like Ferne Having experienced his temper

firsthand, she knew he was genuinely furious this time.

What am I doing all this for?” Ferne abruptly stood up and said, “I’m doing this for you, and you’re

protecting her? Leandro, how could you let her blind you like this?”

Leandro looked at her, his face calm despite his anger. He gave a slow nod and said, “Alright, suppose

I’m blinded. What are you going to do about it?”

Ferne was taken aback by Leandro’s words. She struggled to find a response, then suddenly stood up

and said, “Then I’ll expose her true colors to wake you up!”

As soon as she finished speaking. Ferne walked over to Seraphina and said, “Didn’t you say the child

was Leandro’s? Where’s the proof? Show me the proof, and I’ll believe you! I’ll stop investigating your

friends!”

“Walt!” Leandro suddenly shouted.

Walt, who had been in charge of Leandro’s security, immediately entered from the main entrance, “Mr.

Reynolds.”

*Please escort Ms. Reynolds out,” Leandro said with a stern face. “From now on, she is not permitted

to step foot in Reynolds Manor!”

Walt hesitated for a moment before swiftly moving to carry out Leandro’s command

Ferne was taken aback. “Leandro, you’re kicking me out for her?”

Ignoring Ferne, Leandro walked over to Seraphina and reached out to pull her up, ready to go upstairs.

But Seraphina didn’t move. She slowly pulled away from his grasp, then turned to block Walt and said,

“Let go of Ms. Reynolds first. I owe her an explanation”

Ferne was stunned and turned to look at Seraphina.

With a slight smile, Seraphina said, “Knowing you, even if you’re kicked out of the Reynolds family,

you’ll still continue to investigate this matter. In that case, I’ll give you the proof”

“Seraphina” Leandro interrupted. “You don’t owe anyone an explanation.”

“Don’t you want to know?” Seraphina looked at him and said, “You publicly acknowledged Betty as your

child to maintain the image of the Reynolds family. But don’t you want to know the truth? Don’t you

want to know if Betty is really related to you?”

“I don’t care,” Leandro answered.

1 do.” Seraphina responded, “Betty’s gone. Instead of enjoying her youth, she lost her life. I just want

her to rest in her world, undisturbed. But she’s constantly being dug up, displayed to the world, and

criticized over and over again. It’s my fault.”

Even though she spoke calmly with a faint smile on her lips, Leandro noticed the pallor on her face that

no amount of makeup could hide.

Just as he was about to speak, Seraphina looked at him and said, “Yes, Betty is your child”

His heart felt like it had been punched, a silent pain spreading through him.

Even though he had anticipated this possibility, he had never really thought about it in detail.

What did he give her, and what did he really give her?

“I know you don’t remember Seraphina said with a smile, “You were drunk that night. It was me who

went to your room, to your bed. I caused the trouble”

After a moment, Leandro asked in a deep voice, “Why didn’t you tell me then?”

Seraphina laughed, a tear glistening in her eye. “What do you think?”

Back then, he had a new girlfriend. He believed that Seraphina had pushed her down the stairs. He

had told her to leave the Reynolds family. What else

could she tell him?

Leandros eyes were cold as he watched her, at a loss for words.

Ferne, who had been listening, suddenly scoffed, “This is your proof? Leandro, you’re not really going

to believe her, are you?”

Seraphina looked at Ferne and laughed again. “When Betty was born, I saved her umbilical cord blood.

I wonder if that could serve as proof?”

Ferne was taken aback.

“If that’s not enough, we could dig up her grave. She’s right there. You can take the Reynolds family’s

DNA and test it however you like. Is that okay?”

Her voice trembled slightly as she spoke, but she kept her composure, finishing her sentence and

calmly looking at Ferne.

“Seraphina“” Ferne stammered, ‘Don’t use your child’s death to threaten me. Her death is your own

fault!”

Leandro’s face turned icy cold. The way he looked at Ferne was as if he were looking at his worst

enemy

Ferne backed off a couple of steps, suddenly feeling a desire to flee.

However, Seraphina stepped in front of Leandro and said, “You’re right. It’s my fault. It was my decision

to have her. I didn’t take care of her properly. I caused her death. I was wrong, so I alone will bear the

consequences of her death. I never intended to affect anyone else, nor did I plan to gain anything from

the Reynolds family”

Ferne looked at Seraphina, then at Leandro, at a loss for words.

“I’m back, just for Grandpa Seraphina went on. “My marriage to Leandro is just to give Grandpa some

peace of mind. I don’t want anything from Leandro or from the Reynolds family. All I want is for

Grandpa to live out his days happily. Once Grandpa passes away. I can leave the Reynolds family right

away. You get me? You satisfied? Can you leave my friends alone now?”

Ferne, stunned by what she heard, stared at her for a moment, seemingly forgetting what this

conversation was originally about.

She didn’t expect Seraphina to spill so much tea, and the more Seraphina talked, the harder it was to

refute her. Leandro’s gaze also grew colder and

colder

The room fell silent for a moment, with no one speaking and only the sound of their breathing, making

the atmosphere tense.

Just then, a heavy sigh came from the top of the stairs.

Seraphina, who had kept quiet all along, finally showed a change in her expression when she heard

that sigh.
