Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 264

Keeley froze, gritting his teeth before he responded, “You think I’m just bluffing, don’t you? Let me tell

you something, someone tried to investigate us before, but he didn’t get very far before he bit the dust.

Keep going like this, and you’ll end up just like him.”

At his words, Seraphina leaned back slowly, maintaining a calm gaze at him. “Are you saying that I’ll

end up dead like him, or I’ll come up empty-handed like he did?”

Keeley looked at her, not answering. Instead, he said, “I do like you, but not enough to spill all my

secrets. I’ll tell you what I can, but what I can’t, I won’t utter a word.”

“Not enough, huh..” Seraphina echoed his words slowly, then asked, “So, when push comes to shove,

you won’t hold back, will you?”

Keeley’s face darkened, and he turned away without responding.

“Men,” Seraphina sighed gently, “they say they like me, but their actions tell a different story. But it’s

okay, I see things clearly, we owe each other nothing, you don’t have to go easy on me. When it’s time

to make certain moves, we both know it, so why force it? I do my thing, you do yours. That’s where

we’re alike, right?”

Keeley suddenly stood up, “If you’re so keen on throwing your life away, be my guest.”

Without another glance at Seraphina, he turned to leave, but she called him back.

Keeley turned around to see Seraphina pouring wine into another glass on the table.

“If this is our last meeting, let’s have a toast,” she said. “Setting aside the unresolved matters, I’m glad

to have known you. Your honesty, your carefree spirit, your fearless attitude… they’ve really moved

me.”

Keeley planted his hands on the table. “If you like living this way, why get yourself tangled up in

meaningless fights?”

“Cause I have people I care about,” she said, “and that’s the only reason I can live like a normal

person.”

Hearing her words, Keeley glared at her for a while before he left without taking a sip of her wine.

Watching his figure disappear, Seraphina finished her own glass of wine, then picked up the one she

poured for him and chugged it.

After leaving the restaurant, Seraphina quickly met with Terrell at Carney Artful Reverie, sorting out the

information.

Terrell looked down on the intel she had.

“This is all basic info, what good is it?”

“True, it’s of no use, Seraphina said, “but the more we know about them, the more they’ll fear. Once

people start to fear, they’re capable of anything.”

Terrell stared at her, “Are you really willing to put yourself in danger like this?”

“What do I have to fear?” Seraphina responded, “I’m surrounded by bodyguards, and my husband is

Leandro. Do you think they would dare to attack me easily?”

Terrell seemed to sense something from her words, paused, then said, “You weren’t going all out

before.”

“How can you compare?” Seraphina retorted, “Only when the knife cuts into one’s own hand does one

feel the pain, I won’t let any of them off the hook.”

Hearing this, Terrell finally asked, “How’s Sandra?”

At his words, Seraphina’s heart sank.

Leandro had told her that as soon as there was any news about Sandra, the hospital would notify her.

But she hadn’t heard anything yet.

The longer Sandra stayed unconscious, the worse things could be.

In this situation, perhaps no news is the best news.

Seraphina didn’t dare to ponder, quickly putting those thoughts away and asked, “How’s Bowen?”

“He went to the Martin family yesterday,” Terrell answered.

That was within Seraphina’s expectations. “And then?”

“He hasn’t come out yet,” Terrell said. “It’s been over a dozen hours. Could it be that he lost his cool

and said something he shouldn’t have, then get… you know…”

He didn’t finish, just made a throat-slitting gesture.

“No way,” Seraphina said. “He’s smart, he wouldn’t do something so stupid.”

Terrell shrugged, “Maybe he was too in love with Sandra… who knows?”

“Too in love with her?” At this, Seraphina clenched her teeth, “If he really loved her, Sandra wouldn’t be

lying in bed now.”

Just as she finished speaking, Terrell’s phone rang. He checked it and looked at Seraphina, “Talk about

timing. Bowen just left the Martin family.”

“This is…” Various possibilities flashed through Seraphina’s mind, but she only voiced one, “Does he

look happy?”

“Doesn’t seem like it.” Terrell turned the screen to her. On it was a photo of Bowen leaving the Martin

family.

The man in the photo was sitting in the car, looking very gloomy and cold.

“Looks like he got some information from the Martin family,” Terrell said. “Otherwise, why would he look

so upset?”

Seraphina handed the phone back to him, her tone cold, “We’ll find out soon.”

She had told Bowen that Sandra’s accident was no accident, but a set-up. Bowen had gone to the

Martin family because of this. If he really got some information from there, he should come find her.

Not long after, Terrell’s contact reported again, “Bowen went to the hospital.”

Hearing this, Seraphina didn’t say a thing.

If he knew Sandra got into this mess because of him, rushing to the hospital to apologize to her was

only natural.

Seraphina couldn’t help but press her hand against her forehead.

Things have hit rock bottom, and the only silver lining was probably that Bowen might actually be

innocent in all this.

But even if he had nothing to do with it, what difference would it make?

Seraphina closed her eyes involuntarily, the image of Sandra lying in the hospital bed kept replaying in

her mind.

Hope she’s okay… Hope she’s okay….

She kept repeating it to herself, and without realizing, she dozed off.

Although asleep, her mind was clear, because she knew she was dreaming. In her dream, she saw

Sandra.

In her dream, Sandra was right in front of her, calling her over and over again, “Sera, Sera, I’m coming

to Carney Artful Reverie to meet you.”

Seraphina wanted to tell her not to come, because she knew very well Sandra would have a car

accident on her way here!

But in her dream, she couldn’t make a sound, and Sandra’s figure was gradually fading away.

Seraphina panicked all of a sudden and woke up. When she opened her eyes, her forehead was

covered in cold sweat.

At the same time, her phone suddenly started ringing.
