Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 301

While Naylor’s death did hit Seraphinà pretty hard, Valerio’s care and warmth comforted her to a

greater extent.

So, in less than half a day, Seraphina picked herself up from the shock, calmly accepting and

confronting the reality.

Before, she was hired by Patrick Gray to investigate the Jones family’s three consecutive accidents

and uncover the truth behind the death of the previous reporter, Woody, in a fire. Now, the truth was all

out in the open.

With Naylor’s death, the only person left to hold responsible in this crime gang was Keeley. However,

Keeley, who only carried out tasks, was mostly in the dark about who his boss was.

But for the three accidents involving the Jones family, since they were related to his kin, Mack Jones, a

little inquiry revealed the truth. Mack was arrested after he confessed honestly, so Seraphina had

successfully completed the task Patrick had entrusted her with.

As for Sandra, who was innocently dragged into this, that was Seraphina’s own job.

Even though Naylor was gone, she was not about to stop digging.

Even if the real culprit could hide for a while, they would eventually be exposed with time and get the

punishment they deserved.

In the days that followed, Seraphina began to focus on writing reports about the Jones family, Woody,

and this crime gang.

After finishing the draft, Seraphina sent it to Terrell for review.

Having read the draft, Terrell made some modifications and sent it back to Seraphina.

Seraphina, who had been abroad most of the time and had only published one report about Balch

Lawson’s murder case in the country, found that Terrell’s grasp of the domestic news environment was

much better than.hers. His revisions indeed made her draft more polished.

After several rounds of edits, Seraphina sent the draft along with the relevant materials to Patrick.

Patrick, who was overseas, replied the next day.

For Seraphina’s work capability and the completion level of this task, Patrick gave high praise.

Seraphina, not one for formalities, directly asked for a bonus, which Patrick agreed to without

hesitation.

“By the way, your office is ready. When are you thinking of officially joining us?”

Upon reading this message from Patrick, Seraphina glanced at her side.

At the moment, she was sitting in Leandro’s study, with Valerio diligently doing his homework beside

her.

Ever since Valerio began to try to speak, although he couldn’t make a sound for now, he seemed to

realize that even if he couldn’t, Seraphina would still be happy.

So he went from being shy and hesitant at first to trying to talk when he saw Seraphina, the bond

between this mother and son in name only had grown stronger, and Valerio was more willing to be with

her every day.

But if she officially joined Patrick’s company, she would inevitably start official work. Especially for

investigative reporters, they often have to rush around different places, and having an irregular

schedule is the norm.

Although Seraphina was already used to such a work routine, it seemed less suitable for her now.

Putting Leandro’s thoughts aside for now, the kid beside her might be the first to object. Not to mention

that in the past few days, Seraphina seemed to have become reliant on him.

Furthermore, she still had to keep an eye on the Martin family and Bowen. In her current condition, she

felt a little guilty about working.

“I’ve considered it, and with my current situation, I can’t fully handle the job you’re offering,” Seraphina

said. “But if you trust me, I can recommend someone to you!”

Patrick was not too surprised by her response, but he expressed regret and asked who Seraphina

would recommend.

“Terrell,” Seraphina answered. “An experienced reporter.”

Unexpectedly, Patrick said, “Him? I’ve heard of him.”

Seraphina was well aware of Terrell’s reputation over the past few years, and she had an idea of what

Patrick might have heard.

“I know his reputation isn’t the best,” Seraphina said. “But if you’re willing to give him this chance, he’ll

definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Of course, I’m also willing to accept his invitation and become

a freelance reporter for your company.”

Patrick was silent for a while after hearing this, then laughed. “Since you’ve said so, I can’t find a

reason to refuse. So I’ll look forward to it.”

After ending the call with Patrick, Seraphina put down her phone and turned to check on Valerio’s

progress on his homework.

But she found that his progress was still at the same point where it was when she started her phone

call.

Seraphina reached out and poked him. “What’s up with you? I’ve been on the phone for so long, and

you’ve been slacking off all this time?”

Valerio had been by her side these past few days, and although Seraphina was reprimanding him, he

just smiled at her.

“Did you eavesdrop on my call?” Seraphina asked.

Valerio nodded.

Seraphina leaned in a bit closer. “Are you happy to hear that I won’t be going to work?”

Valero nodded again.

Seraphinà wanted to give him a little jab, but she couldn’t help herself and just pinched his face lightly.

“You little rogue!”

In the past few days, Seraphina managed to find time to meet with Terrell.

As soon as they met, Seraphina handed him a check. “This is yours.”

Terrell looked at the check, his eyebrows furrowing. “So much?”

Seraphina grinned, “That just shows I got you a pretty generous boss. You should be thanking me.”

Terrell glanced at her, “What do you mean?”

“A few years ago, you started selling news because you needed money for medical treatment. But

once you’re on that path, it’s hard to turn back,” Seraphina explained, “Now you have a chance to turn

back.”

Terrell snorted in response, “How do you know I want to turn back?”

Seraphina slightly raised her chin, “Yeah, I do know. You don’t like it? Then try to convince me

otherwise!”

Terrell locked eyes with her for a while before averting his gaze, a rare slight smile tugged at the corner

of his lips.

After a brief pause, Terrell spoke again, “The Martin family… are you still planning on investigating?”

Seraphina shrugged, “We’re out of leads, I can’t keep digging. We’ll just have to let it be.”

Terrell hesitated again before saying, “Yesterday, I received a message…”

“What?” Seraphina looked up, waiting for him to continue.

“I heard Bowen is planning to propose to Tania, there’s already a company working on it.”

Seraphina was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, then suddenly burst into laughter.

Engagement?

Brilliant.

Absolutely brilliant.
