Chapter 224
Keeley hopped back onto his motorcycle, eyes glued to Leandro and Seraphina as they disappeared
behind the big gate.
Just as they were about to enter, Seraphina turned back and gave him a wave, to which he responded
with a small smile. He watched them vanish into the gate before climbing back onto his bike, donned
his helmet, and drove off
Inside the gate. Seraphina histened to the fading sounds of his motorcycle, squinting her eyes slightly
Leandro also heard it, but he just held Seraphina’s hand and walked into the house.
The room instantly warmed up. “It’s cold outside, I’m gonna hit the shower first, Seraphina sighed,
before quickly heading upstairs Leandro plopped down on the living room couch, lit a cigarette, and
called over the bodyguard who had been with Seraphina throughout the day
The bodyguard gave Leandro a detailed rundown of the events at the dinner party. Leandro listened
quietly, stubbed out his cigarette, and then also
headed upstairs.
After her shower, Seraphina completed her skincare routine, and found a message from Terrell waiting
for her. Only two hours after she had told him about Keeley. Terrell already sent over Keeley’s basic
information
So, Keeley was born into a middle-class family, is Mack’s cousin, was once a good student, but
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdropped out of high school after his parents died early. and then started to mix in society, his social
relationships weren’t clear though
That’s all I’ve got for now, I still need to dig deeper into his social relationships, Terrell added
Seraphina skimmed through Keeley’s basic information a few times on her phone, just as she was
about to put the phone away, a hand reached over and took it from her.
Looking up, she saw Leandro, fresh from his shower, scanning through her phone. Seraphina wasn’t in
a rush, she let him have a look.
After going through the information on the phone, Leandro glanced at the message from Terrell, then
turned to Seraphina. “Who is this guy?”
“He’s someone Im investigating. Seraphina reached over and retrieved her phone, deleting some
irrelevant messages.
“Investigating?” Leandro watched her movements. “And how exactly are you doing that?”
Upon hearing his question, Seraphina looked up at him, a small smile playing on her lips. “What are
you getting at?”
Leandro held her gaze, “Do you have any other methods of investigation besides the one you used on
Balch?”
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “If it’s the most effective and convenient, why not use it? After all,
beauty is a resource too, isn’t it a waste not to use
11?”
Leandro’s expression suddenly turned grim at her response.
But then Seraphina reached out and draped her arm around his neck. The only downside to this
method is it can be tiring. I don’t mind the work, but if there’s an easier way, I wouldn’t mind using it.”
“Is there?” Leandro asked, his face still stern.
“1 just had an idea Seraphina said, “If I tell you who that guy is, it would save me a lot of effort”
Leandro looked at her silently, waiting for her to continue.
“Do you remember when I was kidnapped?” Seraphina blinked innocently at him.
Leandro’s gaze deepened.
He then reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace, “You were thinking of not telling me who this
guy is?”
The force of his grip caused Seraphina to wince in pain, “I’m telling you now, aren’t 1?”
With her being so forthright, of course Leandro wouldn’t let Keeley off the hook easily Keeley might put
up a fight for a while, but if things get too heated. he might not be able to handle it.
It’s simple. Keeley had once mentioned that he didn’t know who was behind Seraphina’s kidnapping –
meaning there was a middleman between him and his employer, maybe even other accomplices.
And this group, undoubtedly operated from the shadows.
Once Keeley’s identity was at risk of exposure, it would be a crisis for this group.
And when Keeley is backed into a corner, this group would inevitably show their true colors to resolve
the crisis.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd that would give them some leads.
Even if they couldn’t find evidence from previous cases, this group would inevitably let slip some new
information.
By then, there’d be no such thing as a perfect crime anymore.
Sure enough, as soon as Seraphina finished speaking, Leandro immediately whipped out his phone
and called Herman.
Seraphina nestled into his arms, quietly watching him make the call
The call didn’t go through immediately, Leandro looked down to see her face, a mix of anticipation and
mischief. The sight stirred something within him, and he leaned down to capture her lips in a kiss.
Seraphina was still waiting to hear his conversation, she didn’t expect him to suddenly kiss her. Just as
she was about to react, Leandro bit down on her lip, hard
‘Ouch!” Seraphina winced in pain, her fingers digging into Leandro’s side.
This mart wasn’t trying to kiss her, he was clearly taking out his anger on her!
But her feeble attempts at resistance were like tickles to Leandro.
As he continued to kiss and bite her, Seraphina tried her best to resist, but Leandro didn’t let up.
Even though the call had already connected, and Herman’s voice could be heard from the other end,
“Leandro? Hello? Leandro? Hello?”, Leandro seemed to have turned a deaf ear, his hold on her only
tightening.
Only when Herman hung up and redialed, and the phone was about to disconnect automatically after
ringing several times, did Leandro finally release her and pick up the call, “Hello?”
Seraphina was hurting all over her back, her waist, even her mouth. The moment he let her go, she
couldn’t help but collapse onto the bed, and in the process, she gave him a hefty kick.
