Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 93

‘So, you were playing him from the start?“.

“Yes.”

“Did Ms. Bennett ever have a shred of sincerity?”

“I was sincere.” Seraphina paused with a slight smile on her face. “But not about love”

The younger lawyer, who had been silent all the while, finally couldn’t hold it in any longer “Mr. Lawson nearly died for you!”

Seraphina took a sip of her coffee and slowly said, “That’s not a very professional question, but I’ll answer it anyway. Please tell him that I’m grateful for him risking his life for me. He also tried to harm me, but I managed to dodge the bullet. I guess we’re even now”

The young lawyer’s face changed at her words. “I don’t think that’s possible.”

Seraphina looked at him, resting her chin on her hand. “Maybe he forgot about it. Why don’t you ask him?”

The young lawyer wanted to argue, but a stern look from his senior colleague stopped him

“Ms Bennett has answered all of Mr. Lawson’s questions The older lawyer said, “We won’t bother you anymore.”

He started to pack his things, and the younger lawyer followed suit. As they were leaving, the young lawyer turned back to Seraphina “Ms. Bennett, can I ask how you knew Mr. Lawson was involved in the murder of Mrs. Lawson?”

“Intuition, evidence,” Seraphina looked at him, “and the past he could never let go of

If he could let go, the past two years would have been enough for him to move on.

But he hadn’t

So he kept all the traces of Janetta in his house, cut off all contact with Fidelia, and woke up every day at 3 a m. to watch Janetta’s surveillance videos, And it wasn’t because of love.

In those videos, there was not only Janetta but also him and another man.

Janetta would be smiling and gentle when talking to the other man, but indifferent and calm when talking to him.

These were the pieces of evidence of her betrayal and the reason why she died.

He woke up at 3 a m. every day just to watch these videos and to tell himself that she deserved to die

Why did he keep these videos after two years?

Because they gave him peace of mind.

He couldn’t let go of Janetta, and he couldn’t let go of himself.

Seraphina looked at the young lawyer and laughed lightly “You seem to admire him a lot. Before that, why don’t you ask him if he feels wronged? Then you can defend him.”

The young lawyer stared at Seraphina for a while before finally leaving.

In the detention center, Balch, still in his black suit but without a tie, sat quietly listening to his lawyer.

Despite the circumstances, he still looked gentle. But the fatigue was evident in his eyes.

After hearing what his lawyer had to say, Balch, who hadn’t shown any emotion for two days, slowly started to smile.

He had fallen for a smart girl.

She seemed to know everything, even the madness he had hidden deep within himself that he could barely recognize.

When did that happen?

It was after Fidelia had made her first move on her. She was pushed into traffic and was only slightly injured.

He easily found out why it happened, and so, for the first time in two years, he approached Fidelia.

He intended to warn Fidelia, but Fidelia mentioned Janetta. She told him that Seraphina and Janetta were the same and would eventually betray him.

At the same time, Seraphina and Leandro’s entanglement grew deeper.

So he let it be, allowing Fidelia to make a second move on Seraphina Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just like with Janetta before.

He knew Fidelia hated Janetta She hated how she hurt him and how she claimed to be Mrs. Lawson even though she didn’t love him.

But he allowed this hatred, even encouraging it in subtle ways

He allowed and led Fidelia, and he watched as Janetta died in front of him

Janetta before, Seraphina now

Who did he really love?

After a long while, Balch finally spoke. “Tell Herman, I’ll confess everything”

The lawyer was shocked Mr Lawson! You haven’t said anything since yesterday. The situation isn’t beyond repair yet, we still have a big chance.”

“No need, she was right”

He deserved it, he might as well let go.

The day after Balch confessed, a full investigation report on the incident was published, causing another sensation.

Because the reporter was none other than Seraphinal

Public opinion was split, hall for Batch and half for Seraphina

As for Seraphina, half praised her for her courage and intelligence, while the other half called her a snake Conway, who had learned how to use a tablet with Seraphina’s help, was reading the comments and was quite angry. “Why are you reading those? Seraphina asked. “Look at this one, it says I’m beautiful! That’s a huge compliment

“Nonsense! Conway retorted. “Can a girl raised by the Reynolds family be anything but beautiful?”

Seraphina rolled her eyes. “You really know how to take credit!

She then got up, picked up some fruit, and went to wash them in the kitchen

As Seraphina was washing the fruit, a hand suddenly reached under the faucet

Seraphina froze, recognizing the watch and the familiar scent

She turned around with the fruit plate in her hands, only to be cornered by Leandro by the kitchen cabinet

Leandro washed his hands in a leisurely manner, then dried them off with a paper towel nearby.

Seraphina didn’t leave Instead she brought a plate of fruit over to him and said, “Fancy some fruit?

Leandro glanced at the fruit on the plate, then looked up at her.

“You don’t like them? Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, “In appreciation for all the help and cooperation from Mr. Reynolds recently, just tell me what you like Once I’m back in Starhaven, I’ll send you the best of it.”
