Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 292

Chapter 292

Seraphina didn’t utter another word. She just took a bunch of files and headed back to Reynolds Manor.

Keeley didn’t chase after her.

He already knew what he needed to know. Stopping Seraphina now would be pointless.

What he didn’t know was that upon entering the house, Seraphina walked all the way to her room before taking a deep breath and placing a hand over her chest.

“Are you okay?” A maid hearing the commotion came out from the kitchen, “Something happened?”

Pressing on her chest, Seraphina took a moment before saying, “That was close.”

L

Thank God the files she had were all about the thoroughly prepared arson case. If there was a single slip, and Keeley found something suspicious about the case, all her efforts these past few days would have been for nothing.

She was always lucky, thankfully.

After a sigh of relief, Seraphina quickly headed upstairs to her study.

Now that Keeley was hooked, he was bound to do some digging. She can’t afford any slack. She had to get all the documents in front of Keeley.

Seraphina stayed in her study until evening. She thought she heard Valerio coming back from school, but Valerio was always well-behaved and wouldn’t disturb her when she was in her study, so she ignored him.

At dinner time, Seraphina came downstairs to find Valerio was not at the table.

“Where’s Valerio?” She asked.

“He went straight upstairs when he got home,” the maid answered. “I just checked on him, he seems to be in the bathroom.”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina frowned.

She recalled that Leandro personally took Valerio to school this morning. Could he have done something to his own son?

Although it was unlikely for Leandro to do such a thing, Seraphina still felt uneasy. So, she went upstairs again.

She opened the door to Valerio’s room, but there was no one inside. The bathroom door, however, was closed.

Knocking on the door, Seraphina called, “Valerio, come out.”

A few seconds later, the door opened. Valerio stood behind it, looking at her with an innocent and kind face.

Seraphina glanced into the bathroom behind him but there was nothing unusual.

But, according to the maid, Valerio had been in there for quite a while.

“What were you doing in there?” She asked./

Valerio blinked and shook his head, indicating that he hadn’t been doing anything.

Looking at him, she then asked, “Did your dad say anything to you when he took you to school this morning?”

After thinking for a moment, Valerio shook his head again.

Seraphina folded her arms and raised an eyebrow at him, clearly not believing him.

Before she could question him further, Valerio took her hand and led her downstairs for dinner.

After dinner, Seraphina went back to her study to review various documents, which took about three hours.

It wasn’t until she heard the sound of a car downstairs that she snapped out of it. Looking at the time, it should be Leandro returning home.

Thinking of Leandro’s expression this morning, Seraphina found it amusing. She quickly tidied up her documents and stood up. She -went back to her room to get her pajamas and headed for Valerio’s room.

But when she reached out to open the door, she found it was locked.
