Chapter 124
After Seraphina left the Wilson family’s house, she drove a couple of blocks and then pulled over
At this point, it was the wee hours, and the whole city was gradually falling into the most peaceful time
of the day. Despite this, cars were still constantly passing by her
Where were these busy people rushing off to?
Seraphina sat in her car for a while, then suddenly pulled out her phone and dialed Magdalen’s number
The first time, the phone rang a few times before it was hung up
The second time, the phone was hung up after only one fing
The third time
The fourth time
Not until the tenth plus time did Magdalen finally pick up. Her cool voice was filled with impatience:
“What’s wrong with you?”
Seraphina heard faint noises from her end Clearly, she was still at a party
She was quiet for a moment, then slowly said, “Dad’s birthday is the day after tomorrow. Should we
have a meal together?”
On the other end of the phone. Magdalen seemed to be quiet for a while, then suddenly hung up
Seraphina stared at her phone for a while, chuckled, and then dialed another number
As soon as the call was connected, Sandra’s complaining voice came through: “You heartless girl!
You’ve been gone for so long and you finally remember me?”
Seraphina cut to the chase, “Can I borrow a million from you?”
Sandra was startled by this sudden request, “A million? What are you planning to do?”
“I have something to deal with Seraphina answered, “But, you know my financial situation I can only
pay you back slowly”

dangerous?”
“Not for me” Seraphina said. “But it might be dangerous for those who have crossed met
When Seraphina returned to her apartment, Leandro’s car was no longer in sight downstairs.
That’s to be expected. How could a busybody like Leandro, who even schedules his sex life, wait at
one place for a woman?
Seraphina opened the car door, went upstairs, but unexpectedly found Farrah napping on her couch
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Farrah immediately woke up. Seeing Seraphina, she rubbed her
eyes sleepily
“Why are you still here?” Seraphina looked at her, “is my couch that comfy?”
As Farrah gradually woke up, she snorted. “I was waiting for you.”
Seraphina poured herself a glass of water and laughed, “Waiting for me for what? What about that
hunk you were eyeing?”
“He left after receiving a call.” Farrah crossed her arms and looked at her, “Seraphina, I waited for you
to come back just to tell you that I’ve got my eye on him, and I’m planning to compete with you for him.”
Seraphina almost spit out a mouthful of water. Her gaze swept over Farrah’s chest, “With your heavy
metal style and those small breasts?”
“What’s wrong with small breasts?” Farrah got angry, “How do you know he won’t like it?”
Seraphina leaned against the wall and looked at her, laughing You met him for the first time today
right? What do you like about him?”
“He’s handsome, has a good body, mature and stable, completely my type” Farrah answered.
Seraphina nodded in agreement, then added, “His skills in bed are also very good. If you can win him
over, you’re really lucky”
“What are you talking about?” Farrah’s face suddenly turned beet red, “When did I tell you that?”
Seraphina looked at her, “You’ve already declared that you’re going to compete with me for this man,
so what’s there to be shy about?”
“I’m not shy Farrah sneered, ‘I just wanted to tell you that I’m not the kind of person who does things
behind people’s backs. I’ll compete with you openly!”
Seraphina took a sip of water, then said, “Don’t worry you’re not my competitor”
“Seraphina” Farrah said angrily. “Don’t underestimate me! Men all like young girls. I’m younger than
you, and that’s my advantage!”
“That’s not what I meant Seraphina looked at her and said, “Tm saying, I don’t want this man.”
Farrah looked at her skeptically. “Are you for real or just bluffing? Are you really willing to let go such a
good man?”
“You dont believe
Seraphina said with a smile, “I’ll prove it to you in a few days.”
Two days later the famous contemporary painter Malcom held an exhibition in Moonhaven. Seraphina
was invited to attend.
Just arriving at the entrance of the exhibition hall, Seraphina bumped into Magdalen and her male
companion
“Ms Magdalen, what a coincidence Seraphina smiled at her
The moment Magdalen saw Seraphina, she frowned. She walked into the exhibition hall with her
companion’s armi
Seraphina only smiled as she watched their retreating figures
Malcom was a good friend of Carney’s before he died and he was also very close to Magdalen. He was
holding an exhibition in Moonhaven, and as a friend, Magdalen would definitely come to congratulate
him
And as Carney’s daughter, she should come too
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMalcom was standing at the door greeting guests Seeing the mother and daughter come in, he
immediately laughed, “You two beauties showing up at the same time are you planning to steal my
thunder?”
Magdalen didn’t look at Seraphina, she just said, “I’m just here to look around and leave Your exhibition
will have many important people coming, so it doesn’t matter if I’m
hat here”
“Okay, okay” Malcom understood her personality. Tm satisfied with you coming”
Magdalen didn’t say anything else to him, she entered the exhibition hall with her companion
At this time, Seraphina stepped forward. “Mi Malcom, congratulations”
Malcom looked at her and sighed. “I haven’t seen you for a few years, and you’ve grown up so much”
“But you still look so young, and your creativity is as strong as ever!” Seraphina said.
Malcom brushed off her compliment, asking. “You still painting?”
“Nope, not anymore.” Seraphina replied. “I didn’t get my dad’s talent”
Mentioning Carney, they both went quiet for a while, then Malcom said, “If your dad was still around,
he’d probably be a better artist than me
Seraphina paused for a moment, smiled and said, “Well, I’m still grateful to you, Mr. Malcom.”
In the gallery, Magdalen, arm in arm with her date, quickly glanced over the thirty–something paintings
on display, never lingering too long on any one of them.
Then, turning a corner, a painting suddenly caught her eye. Magdalen stopped at once
In the painting, the roses were flamboyant and attractive. The colours were stunningly beautiful.
Magdalen stared at the painting for a long time.

Her boyfriend, who didn’t know much about art, saw her reaction and asked, “Is this painting any
good?”
“Of course. It’s more than good” Seraphina’s voice rang out from behind them, filled with pride and
nostalgia, “My dad painted it. It’s the most beautiful roses in the world”
Hearing this, Magdalen’s boyfriend looked at Seraphina with surprise
However, Magdalen suddenly turned around, raised her hand and gave Seraphina a loud slap
