Chapter 371
At night, after tucking Valerio into bed, Andrea turned to the living room only to find Seraphina still sitting by her computer.
She had already compiled detailed pictures of the restaurant and posted them to her old social circles, as well as various social media platforms asking for help.
Seraphina sat in front of her computer, meticulously going through each feedback.
“How’s it going?” Andrea walked over and asked in a low voice, “Any useful information?”
“Not yet,” Seraphina replied, “But I believe we’ll have something soon. Even though these guys are just regular journalists, they can be pretty influential when they band together.”
Before she could finish, a “ding-dong” sound came from her computer. She immediately turned to see a private message.
The message was from a journalist she knew before. After some chit-chat, he quickly sent over a few pictures of the restaurant. Each detail in the photos perfectly matched the previous ones!
Seraphina immediately got excited and asked for the restaurant’s address. The answer she got was somewhere in Moonhaven.
She quickly thanked him and turned to Andrea, “If the restaurant is indeed in Moonhaven, I can go and check it out tomorrow.”
Andrea fell silent for a moment, then said, “But we’re going back home tomorrow, is there enough time?”
Seraphina chuckled, “Definitely not. You and Valerio can go back first, I’ll follow once everything’s sorted.”
Andrea shrugged, glanced at the computer in front of her, and said, “You don’t have to explain to me.”
With that, he stood up and headed upstairs.
Seraphina sat for a while, then opened a minimized video call software. The view of Leandro’s office ceiling appeared on the screen.
Seraphina quietly watched for a moment, then picked up the nearby headphones and put them on.
“Hello?” she said slowly, “Anyone there?”
After a moment, the screen on the other end moved.
Leandro’s expressionless face appeared in front of the camera.
Seraphina sat hugging her legs, quietly watching him but said nothing.
The fact that he responded at her call meant he was always near his phone, he must have heard her conversation with Andrea.
Sure enough, after a while, Leandro spoke, “Is there something you want to tell me?”
“Well…” Seraphina carefully said, “Could you have Keen come over and take Valerio back? School’s about to start, he needs to attend.”
“Is there anything else?” Leandro asked.
Seraphina pursed her lips, then said, “Also, I might stay here a bit longer. I want to find out who’s messing with us and their motive.”
“Just for that?”
“Then what else could it be?”
Leandro silently observed Seraphina for a moment, then said, “By choosing to stay, aren’t you falling for their trap?”
Seraphina gave a slight chuckle and replied, “I’ve always been good at taking advantage of situations. Since they’ve given me an opportunity, I’ll certainly seize it.”
Leandro fell silent for a moment after hearing this.
“Don’t you agree?” Seraphina asked.
Leandro paused for a few seconds, then said, “It’s your decision.”
He would always support her.
Even though he wished she could come back at this moment, he knew that every day she was around would be another day of trouble for Gloria.
“Then you carry on,” Seraphina said, “I won’t disturb you.”
