Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357

Keen was a bit ticked off after hearing Seraphina’s words.

“Madam,” he called out to Seraphina as calmly as he could, “how can you say such demotivating things at this time?”

Seraphina glanced at him, sarcastically replying, “Fine, I’m saying this because I think you guys will flunk. I’m rooting for Bowen, is that okay?”

Keen was left speechless for a moment.

Leandro, head down reading some documents, just smirked at their exchange.

Seraphina shot Keen another look before exiting the study.

Not long after, Keen went downstairs to get some water, and bumped into Seraphina in the kitchen again.

Knowing he was no match for Seraphina, he wanted to bolt as soon as he saw her, but Seraphina stopped him, “Am I that terrifying? Why are you running away as soon as you see me?”

“That’s not it.” Keen hastily replied, “I’m just worried I might say something wrong and upset you.”

Seraphina snorted, “Well, since you know that, why don’t you say something that’ll cheer me up?”

Keen immediately got nervous, “Madam, what would you like to hear?”

Seraphina handed him a glass of water, smiling slightly as she asked, “I’d like to know, what tactics has Leandro used against Bowen?”

Hearing this question, Keen let out a sigh of relief, “Madam, why don’t you just ask Mr. Reynolds directly?”

“I want to ask you.” Seraphina shot him another look, “Can’t you answer?”

Of course, Keen didn’t dare refuse. He left the kitchen and sat down at the dining table, and started chatting with Seraphina about the recent movements of the Reynolds Group.

Leandro wasn’t just dealing with the Smith Group, he was mainly targeting the Martin Group, Bowen’s support.

The Martin Group’s projects kept getting sabotaged, and the blame would inevitably fall on Bowen. If they could cut ties between Bowen and the Martin Group, everything would be much easier to handle.

Upon hearing this, Seraphina frowned, “But wouldn’t this make the conflict between the Reynolds Group and the Martin Group even worse?”

“Business is about making money, not getting angry.” Keen said, “Mr. Reynolds has enough capital to do whatever he wants, and Simon is a shrewd businessman.”

Seraphina slightly raised an eyebrow at this, “So even Simon’s business style is under your control, that gives you guys the upper hand.”

Keen was a bit concerned, “But Bowen is a bit ruthless. He brought back Edwin Smith from abroad, tried to use the Vivian incident to sway public opinion against Mr. Reynolds and the Reynolds Group. Although it seems like he failed for now, but we don’t know what plans he has up his sleeve…”

Hearing this, Seraphina took a sip of her water before asking, “Where is Vivian receiving treatment now?”

“England.” Keen replied.

Seraphina nodded, then asked, “Over these many years, Leandro has always treated them well, right?”

“Of course.” Keen said, “I personally handed over every single payment to Edwin in recent years. Mr. Reynolds has been more than generous with them, it’s just that

Edwin is never satisfied.”

“But the last time I ran into Edwin at the hospital…” Seraphina recalled the clash she had with Edwin at the hospital last year, “He seemed really angry, really resentful, not like someone who can be easily appeased with money.”

Rumors were flying around, completely unstoppable.

As for this, Leandro had no instructions. Keen just worried that a massive ban on the topic would trigger a new round of public condemnation. So, he just banned a few new posts on a small scale. As for the ones that had spread earlier, he let everyone comment freely.

Not long after the news broke, Leandro returned to Reynolds Vista Retreat.

Usually, Reynolds Vista Retreat was quiet, but today it was bustling with several relatives gathered there. However, the person involved, Bruce, wasn’t there, and the other person involved, Gloria, hadn’t appeared downstairs.

As soon as Leandro entered the door, several relatives immediately surrounded him to discuss. But he didn’t say a word, just pushed them aside and walked towards Karan. “How’s mom?”

“I was going to prevent her from seeing this stuff.” Karan frowned, “But it’s all over the internet, newspapers, magazines, and TV. I was careless for a moment, and she saw it… She blew up, almost smashing the whole room… I called a doctor to give her a sedative, but she still couldn’t sleep. She’s just lying in bed resting…”

After hearing this, Leandro immediately headed upstairs.

“Leandro!” Nanette quickly called out to him, stepping forward, “This series of negative news is obviously targeting us, the Reynolds family. The stock price of the Reynolds family has been fluctuating quite a bit recently. You must calm your mother’s mood. We can’t let things get worse.”

Leandro didn’t answer. He just went straight upstairs.

Upstairs, he pushed open the door to Gloria’s bedroom. The room was somewhat dim, with only one curtain drawn. A beam of daylight shone at the foot of the bed, and Gloria lay on the bed, staring blankly at the light, her face pale and bloodless.
