Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 125

With a bang, Seraphina was hit so hard that her neck was twisted The guy next to Magdalen looked

even more shocked than Seraphina herself. He gawked at Magdalen.

The crowd had drawn the attention of the people at the exhibition. They all turned to look at their

direction.

But Seraphina remained calm and composed She touched her face and then lifted her gaze to meet

Magdalens.

Magdalen glared at Seraphina. “You’re making me uncomfortable on purpose, aren’t you?”

“Why would I want to make you uncomfortable? Seraphina glanced at her and then at the painting in

front of them, “Today is dad’s birthday and Mr. Malcom just happened to have his exhibition today To

commemorate my dad. Mr. Malcom wanted to display one of dad’s paintings, so I picked this one

What’s wrong with that?”

Upon hearing that, Magdalen suddenly raised her hand again, ready to smack Seraphina once more.

Her male companion quickly grabbed her, “Magdalen, what are you doing? You can’t go around

smacking people in public!”

“She deserves it Magdalen was seething. “She deserves it

Seeing her like this, Seraphina gave a small laugh

“This painting of those roses was painted by dad for you You used to love this painting, why do you

hate it now?”

“Shut up!” Magdalen became even more agitated Ignoring the man next to her, she almost lunged at

Seraphina.

This finally alarmed Malcom and the security guards in the gallery. In no time, a crowd had gathered

around them.

Malcom rushed over to stop Magdalen, ‘Magdalen, what are you doing?”

“Why did you hang this painting here?” Magdalen shouted at him, “She wants to upset me, do you want

to upset me too?”

“Magdalen!” Malcom gripped her shoulders tightly, “Calm down!”

“I can’t calm down!” Magdalen pointed at Seraphina, “Get her out! And take down this painting Burn it!”

As she spoke, she had already shaken off Malcom and walked to the painting Despite the glass

covering the painting, she swung her handbag at it

Seraphina suddenly stepped forward, using her body to shield the painting

The hard corner of Magdalen’s handbag hit Seraphina’s forehead Blood immediately started to trickle

down

Seeing the situation escalating into a bloody mess, the security guards quickly stepped in to restrain

Magdalen.

Reporters who were present immediately rushed over to get photos.

“Magdalen, if you continue like this, I’ll have to ask you to leave Malcom said sternly, before nodding at

the security guards.

Magdalen was still fuming Even as she was dragged away by the security guards, her glare remained

on Seraphina. She was so angry, it was as if they were mortal enemies rather than mother and

daughter.

Seraphina stood in front of the painting, watching as her mother was escorted away, her expression

calm as ever.

“Sera, you’re hurt Malcom finally came over to examine Seraphina’s wound, “I’ll get someone to take

you to the hospital.”

“No need, Mr. Malcom Seraphina said, “it’s just a small wound. I’m fine. I’m sorry for disrupting your

exhibition”

As she spoke, she began to head out

Malcom accompanied her to the entrance. She quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Half an hour later, Seraphina got into a car accident at an intersection with little traffic. She had crashed

into a traffic island.

The police arrived quickly, but Seraphina sat in her car, silent. The police had no choice but to take her

back to the station.

Seraphina didn’t contact anyone, but not long after, Keen showed up at the station.

Seraphina sat in a glass room Seeing Keen negotiating with the police outside, she started to laugh.

After paying the bail and giving a brief statement, Seraphina was free to leave

Keen was waiting for her at the door. Seeing the wound on her forehead, he was taken aback, “Ms

Bennett, you’re hurt. Let me take you to the hospital.”

“No need” Seraphina didn’t ask him why he was there, but got into his car, “I made a reservation at a

restaurant Can you give me a ride?”

Keen was stunned. ‘You’re going to have dinner?”

“Yes. I’ve made a reservation at a hard–to–book restaurant Seraphina said “I booked it a month ago.”

Keen thought to himself, this woman is really something else. But he didn’t ask any more questions and

just drove

Keen dropped Seraphina off at the restaurant. When he got back to the office, a three hour meeting

had just taken a short break.

Leandro was still in the conference room, reading some documents Hearing Keen’s footstep, he didn’t

look up but asked, “What happened?”.

“She had a quarrel with her mother, she was distracted while driving and hit a traffic island Keen

reported truthfully, “She got a bit hurt, but it’s nothing serious. She’s at a restaurant having dinner now.”

Hearing this, Leandro looked up at him.

Keen felt a bit nervous, so he added, using Seraphina’s words, “She said it was a reservation she

made a month ago, so she couldn’t just give it up”

Hearing this, Leandro checked his watch

August 16th That should be the day Carney died?

Keen stood by, waiting quietly for Leandro’s instruction. But Leandro didn’t say anything he just went

back to reading his documents.

Keen waited around for a bet, thinking this whole ordeal was wrapped up and was about to split when

Leandro suddenly closed the file in his hands and stood up, saying. ‘Let Enc run the next meeting”

Eric’s the newly appointed head honcho of Starhaven’s branch, getting his feet wet with the company

business That’s why Leandro was sticking around Starhaven, keeping

an eye on things

Leandro dropped the file, spat out a single sentence, and walked out of the meeting room. Keen was

left standing there like a lemon. By the time he left the office, Leandro was nowhere to be seen

The restaurant Seraphina booked was best at cooking dishes from her hometown. The head chef had

left his homeland to come to Moonhaven decades ago. Despite this. he still kept the authentic flavors of

his home cooking His culinary skills were a hit with locals and immigrants alike.

Seraphina was sitting alone in a private dining room. A full spread of food was laid out in front of her,

but she just sat there, not moving a muscle

When Leandro pushed the door open, she didn’t even bat an eyelid. After about ten seconds, she

seemed to snap out of it and looked up at the man sitting across from her.

“When Keen left, I was wondering if you’d show up” she said, her calm eyes suddenly flashing with

mischief. “And here you are”

“
