The Abandoned Heiress Reborn to Be Cherished (Seraphina) novel Chapter 288

e can help!” Before Dora could finish her sentence, Seraphina had turned the corner and gone.

Evelyn patted Dora’s shoulder. “Let’s go!”

Dora looked in the direction Seraphina had disappeared. “Shouldn’t we help her?”

Evelyn shook her head. “Don’t worry. She’ll be fine.”

She knew Seraphina was a capable fighter.

Seraphina crossed the streets and turned into a lane. She followed the siblings and ventured deep into an unknown area.

Ten minutes later, she reached a dead end. She heard two talking voices around the corner.

She approached discreetly, and their conversation was now within earshot.

“Augustus,what do you want from me?” Chloe asked, trying not to snap.

Her question ignited the man’s anger.

“Really? How dare you have the audacity to accuse me? Why didn’t you help Rowan? Have you forgotten how I had to clean up your mess and secure your position in the Whitewood Family? All I asked was a small favor to save Rowan, but you’re avoiding me like the plague. If the Whitewood Family had offered their support, he would be out of prison and safe from the death penalty by now. He ended up behind bars in the first place because of you! How could you speak to me in such an accusing tone?”

The ferocious man frightened Chloe, but she maintained her composure and gently comforted him, “Calm down. I’m sorry about what happened to Rowan. I wanted to help you, but my hands are tied. Oberon already wants to divorce me because of the incident. If he divorces me, the Kennedy Family will be doomed.”

Would Augustus believe Chloe?

No, he wouldn’t.

After the incident, he finally saw the true colors of the Whitewood and the Kennedy Families.

His so–called relatives were actually cold–blooded and ruthless monsters.

“Augustus, if you need anything, just tell me. As long as I can help, I’ll do it,” she said sincerely.

She knew he just wanted to extort her. If he wants money, I’ll give him money.

He scoffed at her words. “Do you think I came to you for money?”

Aren’t you? She could barely hide her disdain.

“I’ll never think that of you. Even if you don’t ask, I’ll give you money. We are family, after all,” she gently reassured him.

He looked at her mockingly like he was looking at a stranger. “I don’t need your money. Just find a way to get Rowan out of prison.”

“That’s impossible! Augustus, you’re putting me in a difficult position.”

No matter how powerful the Whitewood Family was, they couldn’t interfere with the judicial

system.

Worries creased her face. “Look. I’ll give you money to establish connections in prison. It can make Rowan’s time in prison more comfortable.”

“No need,” he coldly refused. “Just get him out of prison. Otherwise, I’ll expose what happened back then, including Seraphina’s background. If Oberon discovers your doings, will he still allow you to stay by his side?”

Seraphina, eavesdropping on the conversation, felt her heart clench.

Chloe’s face turned ashen. “Augustus, you’re my blood brother. You can’t do this to me!”

“Now I’m your brother?” He sneered. “Have you considered me as your brother when Rowan was in trouble? Have you considered me as your family for one second when you drove him to his demise? Didn’t you know your decisions would hurt me?”
