Chapter 222

Keeley was young and handsome, a real looker. Granted, he’s done some shady stuff in the past, but

he’s brimming with sunshine and confidence, not a shred of insecurity or cowardice in sight.

He’s always going on about how he’s all about the money, but he didn’t look like he’s hurting for cash.

At least, not with all those high-end casual outfits he’s always rocking.

When Seraphina brought it up, he grinned and asked, “So, what’s my price tag in your book?*

Leaning in close, Keeley whispered back, ‘Past worth doesn’t matter. Right now, you’re priceless.”

He first noticed her during that kidnapping incident.

He thought his plan was thorough, but she managed to slip the kid out of the car. Then, she defended

herself with a cool-headed determination that was downright impressive.

In the ensuing dilemma, she was very calm, not even batting an eyelid when he brought her food.

It wasn’t because she was gullible, but because she was seriously smart.

She knew she was at their mercy and if they wanted to hurt her, they had a million ways to do it. There

was no need for them to spike her food, so she was totally chill about it.

Even at the end, when he tied her to a chair and put a bomb in her hands, she kept her cool.

A woman like that, cool, smart, and drop-dead gorgeous.

He prided himself on his flawless operations, but that moment, he couldn’t help but lean in and murmur

a goodbye.

Today, they finally meet again.

He had thought he could only say hello and have a casual conversation with her, but to his surprise,

she recognized him. At first, he was dumbfounded, a whirlwind of thoughts in his head, the most

desperate of which was to protect himself by eliminating loose ends.

But now, looking at her bright smile, he couldn’t care less about the past.

Seraphina looked at him for a moment, then asked, “You’ve got some nerve, aren’t you scared?”

Keeley just smiled and replied confidently. “If you’re not scared, why should I be?”

Seraphina laughed, and it was a beautiful sound.

That’s how it is when smart people talk. They can get each other’s drift with just a few words.

Of course, not all thoughts can be seen through.

“So why are you here?” Seraphina asked.

Leaning back on the couch, Keeley scanned the room, then looked back at Seraphina, “I was bored. If I

knew I’d run into you, I would’ve been here ages ago.”

Seraphina considered this for a moment. “You know who I am, right?”

Keeley just smiled, not denying it..

“And you know who my husband is, right?” Seraphina continued.

Keeley chuckled dismissively. “What’s so great about marriage? If it really mattered to you, you

wouldn’t be here alone, right?”

At this, Seraphina’s eyes clouded over with a hint of sadness, but she quickly recovered, “Maybe I have

other motives?”

As she said this, she was looking straight at him, her gaze clear and sincere.

Keeley laughed again, “You couldn’t have known who I was before we met. From now on, I don’t mind

if you know.”

“I’m not just interested in you. Seraphina said.

Leaning in close again, Keeley offered, “If you want to know who’s really pulling the strings, I can help

you out. How about it?”

Looking straight into his eyes, Seraphina smiled.
