Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 275

Due to an unexpected accident, traffic was jammed for nearly two hours.

By the time Seraphina and Leandro arrived at the funeral home, they were already way past the

scheduled time.

Seraphina had come to terms with this fact and remained calm, but this tranquility was shattered when

she got out of the car and saw

Bowen.

Bowen was standing at the entrance of the funeral home, and with him was Tania.

At such a moment, Seraphina did not expect to see the two of them together and found it hard to

control her emotions.

She badly wanted to walk up and separate the two, to make them leave… but this was Sandra’s last

journey in this world, and she didn’t want to disturb her peace.

So, after taking two steps forward, Seraphina abruptly stopped, took a couple of deep breaths, and

stood with her back to the two, pretending not to see them.

Leandro stood in front of her, extending his arm to hold hers, and then looked up at the two people at

the entrance of the funeral home. The two didn’t seem to be engaged in any intimate actions, but

rather, looked like they were arguing.

After silently observing for a moment, Leandro led Seraphina forward.

As they drew closer, they could hear the two arguing.

Bowen’s voice was filled with a coldness that Seraphina had never heard before, “I told you to leave,

didn’t you hear me?”

Tania seemed aggrieved and unwilling, “What do you mean? I know you’re grieving over your sister’s

death. I came to pay my last respects for her, but why are you treating me like this?”

Seraphina stopped at a suitable distance and quietly observed the two not far away.

“I don’t want to see you, is that reason enough?” Bowen’s eyes were cold and ruthless.

Tania looked at him blankly, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard!

“Bowen! I have limits to my patience too! I knew you were upset when your sister was in the ICU, so I

didn’t bother you! Now that your sister is gone, I just wanted to be there for you, and this is how you

treat me! What gives you the right? Why are you treating me like this?”

Tania was getting out of control and started to swing her fists at Bowen.

Bowen suddenly grabbed her arms and brutally pushed her to the ground.

“Ah-” Tania fell to the ground, letting out a cry of pain.

Bowen towered over her, his eyes devoid of sympathy, “Get lost.”

Tania, a spoiled young mistress, had never been humiliated like this. She got up, ready to charge at

Bowen again, but someone suddenly stopped her.

Tania turned around to see two men who looked like bodyguards restraining her.

“Where did you scu mbags come from! Let me go!”

Tania struggled fiercely, then suddenly froze.

Because she saw Seraphina slowly approaching, along with Leandro.

“Ms. Martin.” Seraphina’s expression and voice were very cold, “Today is my friend’s funeral. You can

make a scene any other time, but today, I hope you can be quiet.”

Seeing Seraphina made Tania feel very embarrassed. She couldn’t help but glance back at Bowen, but

found that Bowen was still coldly watching her/his eyes devoid of emotion.

She then looked at Leandro, sneering, “Mr. Reynolds, your wife is flirting with another man right in front

of you, openly seducing him. How can you tolerate such blatant betrayal?”

Leandro quietly watched her for a moment, gestured to the bodyguards, then took Seraphina’s hand

and walked towards the funeral home.

Tania was led away by the two bodyguards. Her insults and struggles continued, but Bowen didn’t look

at her again and tumed to enter the funeral home.

The funeral home was empty, with only a bunch of white roses and a white porcelain um in front of

them.

Seraphina looked at the white urn. It took a long time before she slowly walked over.

Her movements were light, her pace slow. When she reached out and touched the white um, tears

uncontrollably streamed down her

face.

“I’m sorry, Sera.” Bowen’s voice came from behind, “The time was already scheduled. I couldn’t wait for

you to…”

Seraphina seemed not to hear him, just stood there, then lowered her head, leaning her forehead

against the urn, whispering, “Sandra, I’m sorry…”

Her best friend had finally left this world on that day, and she hadn’t seen her for the last time.

She had to witness the woman she least wanted to see, making a scene at her funeral.

Seraphina felt like she had let Sandra down, but she knew Sandra would forgive her.

So, any more apologies seemed pointless.

Sandra’s ashes were buried at 11 a.m. that day.

There were no unnecessary ceremonial items, just two bouquets of flowers.

Sandra had always disliked complicated things. Two bouquets of flowers should be enough.

Leandro, Seraphina, and Bowen each stood on one side.

“I can stay here with you for a while.” Leandro said.

Seraphina came back to herself, took a deep breath, and shook her head, “No, there’s no need. We’ve

done what needs to be done. There are more important things to do. Let her rest peacefully.”

After saying this, Seraphina glanced at Bowen again, then turned and walked away with Leandro.

Bowen didn’t look at them, just focused on the picture of Sandra on the tombstone.

After a long time, he walked to the tombstone and crouched down gently.

After stroking the radiant smiling photo, Bowen leaned forward and gently kissed the photo.

“Do you want me to take you home to rest?” Leandro asked Seraphina as they left the cemetery.

But Seraphina shook her head, “No, just drop me off at the gallery.”

Leandro didn’t ask any more, just said, “Okay.”

After dropping Seraphina off at Carney Artful Reverie, Leandro went straight back to the office.

When Seraphina strolled into her office, Terrell had been waiting there for quite a while.

Noticing Seraphina’s all-black attire, Terrell guessed where she might have been. He hesitated a bit

before asking, “You okay?”

“Perfectly fine,” Seraphina replied, “Just said goodbye to my best friend and drew a couple of

conclusions.”

“What conclusions?” Terrell speculated that both of her deductions might be related to the case at

hand.

“First off, Tania has nothing to do with the Sandra situation. She doesn’t even know the real deal

between Sandra and Bowen.”

Hearing this, Terrell slowly said, “So, you’re saying the mastermind could be someone else from the

Martin family. They must have discovered the relationship between Bowen and Sandra. Maybe they

acted against Sandra to protect Tania, or to send Bowen a warning.”

“Given the current situation, that seems like the biggest possibility,” Seraphina said. “What we need to

do now is to locate the crime syndicate Keeley is involved with, and expose the real puppeteer behind

the scenes.”

Terrell nodded and after a brief pause, he asked, “You mentioned two conclusions earlier, what’s the

second one?”

Seraphina kept quiet for a while, then with a mocking smile, she said, “The second one is that Tania is

really in love with Bowen.”

After saying that, she whispered, “Even though that man is so despicable, so debauched, all the

women seem to be enchanted by him… Such fools.”
