Tangled in His Obsession ( Seraphina )
Tangled in His Obsession Series Novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 

The banquet held by the Chamber of Commerce in Sunburst City was a grand affair, taking place in a private villa in the southern part of the city. The attendees were all big shots in the business world of Sunburst City, with luxury cars and beautiful ladies arriving in droves for the grand gathering 

When Seraphina made her entrance with Leandro, it stirred up a lot of attention. First off, Leandro himself was a sight to behold. Secondly, the tabloids had been having a field day with her and Balch Lawson, Leandro’s recent scandal, so many people recognized her. 

Seraphina took all the attention in stride, following behind Leandro. While she was conspicuous, she didn’t talk much, her quiet intelligence drawing many people to strike up conversation with her. 

She kept her personality on a tight leash, interacting with the guests with grace and charm, her smiles and conversation calculated, with no extraneous expressions or movements. 

Keen, watching from the sidelines, was taken aback – how does she transfer from a wild child to ladylike just like that? 

Leandro, however, didn’t show Seraphina any extra attention, even though she was standing right beside him, he didn’t glance her way. 

Seraphina didn’t mind, still trying her best to play the perfect partner. 

When Leandro took the stage to speak, all the guests gathered before the stage to listen attentively, while Seraphina and Keen stood to the side waiting, affording her a moment of leisure 

Looking at the composed and confident Leandro on stage, Seraphina suddenly said, “Your boss sure is cool as a cucumber, isn’t he?” 

“Mr. Reynolds has always been like that, Keen replied. 

Always like that, huh? Seraphina cracked a smile. 

At least seven years ago, Leandro wasn’t like this. 

She didn’t know if the Leandro she knew seven years ago was the real Leandro, but even if that Leandro was a masquerading rich kid, he was definitely different from the Leandro now. 

So, the Leandro now needed a wife who was obedient and followed him without question? 

With that thought, Seraphina spoke again: “How am I doing so far tonight? Do you think your boss will be pleased?” 

Keen hesitated, gave her a glance, and carefully refrained from answering. 

But in his heart, he had an answer if Seraphina could keep this up, it wouldn’t be too shabby. 

Just as he was thinking this, Seraphina suddenly pulled out her phone from her bag Keen followed her gaze and saw that it was a call from Moonhaven. 

Seeing that call, Seraphina immediately turned and walked away, looking for a quiet place to answer the call. 

When Seraphina finished her call, Leandro’s speech had ended, but Leandro didn’t ask her where she had gone, continuing to talk with the other business magnates with ease 

Keen, worried about Seraphina’s sudden leave, was searching for her when his own phone suddenly rang. 

Keen glanced at the phone, also a call from Moonhaven, and immediately stepped aside to answer 

“Mr. Keen, there’s been a new development in Magdalen’s case, the person on the phone reported, “Magdalen has voluntarily turned herself in to the police, admitting to her fraudulent actions against the Reynolds Group. She reportedly doesn’t plan to hire a lawyer for her defense, in which case, will definitely be sentenced.” 

she 

After hearing the report, Keen became anxious. After hanging up the call, he quickly went to Leandro, quietly informing him of the situation and adding. “Just now, Ms. Bennett also received a call from Moonhaven. I think she must already know this news” 

After hearing this, Leandro scanned the room. 

But he didn’t see Seraphina. 

It wasn’t until the end of the banquet that Leandro saw Seraphina as he was leaving the banquet hall 

She was sitting on a bench in a corner of the garden, arms wrapped around herself. The dim streetlight in the deep autumn night didn’t bring any warmth, only casting her thin figure, looking quiet and lonely 

Seraphina didn’t notice him or anything else around her. She was just thinking about the call she had just received and what Latham had said to her. 

“Your mother turned herself in. She no longer needs me as her attorney and doesn’t plan on hiring another lawyer for her defense.” 

“Why?” she asked him 

Latham was silent for a long time before he said, “She knows you went back to find Leandro to help her sort this out. She said, she doesn’t need you to do these things for her. She doesn’t want to owe you anything”  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seraphina sat in the garden for a long time, not sure if she should laugh or cry. 

Because Magdalen disliked her so much, she even refused her help, preferring to go to jail than accept any kindness from her 

Ever since she was ten years old, she knew that Magdalen didn’t like her, but she never thought that Magdalen’s dislike of her had reached this extent. 

Back then, she didn’t know what she had done wrong. She only felt that it should be temporary Her mother couldn’t possibly not want her, especially since her mother had always loved her dearly before that. She thought that her mother just needed some time to accept her father’s death. Since she loved her father so much, she needed some time to recover 

She was very sensible. She stayed quietly with the Reynolds family, waiting for her mother to come out of the shadow of her father’s death and take her 

back. 

However, one year passed, then two years, then three years… Magdalen never came back. 

And she gradually faced the reality that her mother really didn’t want her anymore. 

She fell into despair time and time again, but eventually calmed down. 

However, it wasn’t until today that she realized that she had always had a glimmer of hope in her heart. That hope, though faint and vague, had always 

been there. 

She did so much for her mother, endured and tried so hard time and time again, not because of her father’s last wish, but because of that glimmer of hope in her heart 

But now, that glimmer of hope is finally totally toast. 

Seraphina didn’t shed a tear. 

She looked at the sky, at the ground, and then, she saw Leandro standing under the eaves. 

The second she saw Leandro, she realized how dumb she had been 

She had despised him, resented him, her emotions were a mess. 

However, when he used Magdalen to threat her, she didn’t hesitate to drop everything and return to Sunburst City, back to his side. 

Standing in front of Leandro, she was still at a loss for a plan. 

Dealing with someone is actually quite easy, you just need to find their sore spots, just like she did with the Wilson family and just like Leandro did with 

her 

He knew her weakness, and he was spot on. 

Leandro had his own vulnerabilities, like his grandpa, like Valerio – but these were also her weaknesses. She couldn’t possibly hurt them. 

So, she willingly bowed to him, pleased him, hoping to win a chance for Magdalen’s freedom. 

But she got shot down. 

In Magdalen’s eyes, everything she had sacrificed for Magdalen was a burden. 

A burden that made her sick to her stomach,
