Chapter 364
On Seraphina’s fifth day in Velvetwood, Andrea got up early to have a 10-minute phone call with her.
Andrea wasn’t busy with work in the summer, and Seraphina had nothing much going on in Velvetwood. So, she invited Andrea over to stay with her in Velvetwood.
Andrea was hesitating and was walking down the stairs. When she saw Simon at the dining table, she quickly hung up her call with Seraphina.
Andrea looked at Simon and then took a seat at the dining table. “Hi, Dad.”
Simon nodded, “You’re up early. Have you been busy with work?”
“Not really,” Andrea replied, “It’s summer, I don’t sleep much.”
After saying this, she took another look at Simon and added, “But you seem to be quite busy lately, Dad.”
Lately, Simon had been coming in early and leaving late. Although there didn’t seem to be any changes, Andrea felt that his vibe was different than usual.
Simon responded, “It’s manageable.” He didn’t elaborate.
Andrea didn’t ask further either. She just quietly ate her breakfast.
Suddenly, the front door was pushed open from outside. Lionel Martin walked in and came to the dining table.
Upon seeing Lionel, Andrea immediately stood up to greet him. Seeing that Lionel seemed to have something to talk to Simon about, she moved over to the sofa with her breakfast.
Lionel took her previous seat and said coldly, “We can’t keep going like this. This time, Bowen Smith has really pissed off Leandro. He’s retaliating like mad. He’s going all out against us and we can’t hold our own.”
Simon listened to his words, cleaned his mouth with a napkin, but didn’t say anything!
Lionel continued, “I think Bowen is doing this on purpose. He’s obviously targeting the Reynolds Group. I’ve said it before, he’s using us to fight the Reynolds Group. Because of Tania, Teague has been too lenient with him. We can’t let him use us like this.”
Simon finished his coffee and said, “Please invite Leandro for, dinner.”
He knew what Bowen was up to. It was not like he couldn’t see it.
But he was looking forward to the confrontation with the Reynolds Group. If they could outdo the Reynolds Group in a few rounds of competition, the Martin Group’s position in Sunburst City would be more secure.
But the problem now was an infuriated Leandro seemed to have lost his mind.
Going all out, by any means necessary against the Martin Group, was a true depiction of Leandro’s recent state.
If he decided to sacrifice his own business just to bring down the Martin Group, it would certainly pose a significant threat to them.
This couldn’t go on.
Andrea, sitting nearby, listened to their conversation, quietly eating her food as if it had nothing to do with her.
After Gloria’s condition stabilized, she quickly returned to Reynolds Vista Retreat for recovery.
Due to Leandro’s strict protection, although the incident had stirred up a bit of commotion, due to lack of substantial evidence, the public remained largely uninformed.
To take better care of Gloria, Leandro moved back to Reynolds Vista Retreat.
In the morning, when Leandro visited Gloria, he found her having an IV treatment. Karan was feeding her, and she was eating calmly, bite by bite.
Seeing this, Leandro felt somewhat reassured and left for work.
