Chapter 160

A swarm of reporters buzzed eagerly, thrusting their microphones forward aggressively.

Caught in the middle of the frenzy, Seraphina looked to Leandro, whispering, “Should I handle this?”

Leandro, assessing the situation, grabbed a microphone and announced, “Regarding this morning’s

event, all your questions have been addressed. We’ll withhold further comments until the police

conclude their investigation”

This only stoked the reporters‘ curiosity further.

“So, Mr. Reynolds, can you shed light on your relationship with Ms. Bennett?”

“Rumors suggested an engagement between you two, yet Ms. Bennett previously mentioned you’re

merely related. Has that status changed?”

Amid the barrage of questions, Seraphina maintained a bright, composed smile.

Leandro shot her a glance, giving no indication he’d entertain the inquiries.

“Hey, you guys sure have a lot of questions.” Seraphina picked up the conversation, complaining,

“We’ve got things to do-”

She tried to leave, pulling Leandro by the hand, but the reporters wouldn’t let them go that easily,

hurrying to shoot their questions-

‘Ms. Bennett, give us an answer!”

Obviously annoyed by the disturbance, Seraphina turned to look at the excited reporters. She first

made a helpless gesture, then turned to Leandro, stepping forward, practically pressing herself against

him.

Then, Seraphina gently left a kiss on the corner of Leandro’s lips.

Instantly, the scene erupted with cheers and screams!

Seraphina gave Leandro a soft smile and nestled into his embrace.

Through her delicate dress, he could feel the warmth of her body and its gentle curves, mirroring the

tenderness of her smile

Yet, what truly lay beneath her graceful exterior remained a mystery.

Though the press conference left their relationship undefined, the kiss they shared in front of the

cameras spoke volumes

The topic quickly heated up online, causing a large–scale discussion and resharing.

At the same time, the topic also caused a big stir in the Reynolds family

When Gloria saw the news, Bruce was about to leave the house. The two had a heated argument.

During the argument, Gloria saw Bruce calling Magdalen and had a meltdown. She started throwing

things at Bruce. Bruce was hit on the head by a vase, he slapped Gloria hard and then left. After he

left, Gloria drove after him but lost him on the way. So, she started looking for Seraphina everywhere.

Gloria first went to the villa, but only Karan was there. Seeing Gloria in such a state, she couldn’t stop

her and had to accompany her to Leandro’s new

apartment

When they arrived at Leandro’s new apartment, Seraphina had just come back fro

the hospital.

Conway was very happy to see the news, laughing heartily, repeatedly saying that he was relieved.

Seeing his reaction, Seraphina also felt a little relieved, so she took Valerio home first.

While Seraphina was helping Valerio pack his school bag, Gloria and Karan entered the house.

Seeing Gloria raging and out of control, Valerio was startled and ran into Seraphina’s arms

Just as Seraphina was holding him, Gloria rushed up to her and threw Valerio’s school bag at

Seraphina, “What the hell are you trying to do? What are you and your mother up to? Are you hell–bent

on ruining the Reynolds family, you won’t be happy until we’re torn apart?”

Seraphina saw the situation, exchanged a look with Karan, then carried Valerio upstairs.

“Stop! You have to explain to me today! What are you and your mother scheming?”

Seeing that Gloria was about to chase upstairs, Karan immediately stopped her, “Don’t panic. Now that

you’re here, you think she won’t give you an explanation? Don’t scare Valerio! I’ll go up and ask her to

come down! I’ll make her speak clearly!”

Gloria was shaking with anger. Karan finally managed to calm her down and hurried upstairs.

In the upstairs room, Seraphina was trying to soothe Valerio’s emotions.

When Karan came in, Valerio was startled and hid in Seraphina’s arms.

“Don’t be scared, Valerio Karan immediately came over, “Grandma is downstairs, she didn’t come

up…”

Seraphina also comforted Valerio in a low voice, “Don’t be scared, I’m here, what are you afraid of?”

Karan couldn’t help but look at Seraphina, “I’ll take care of Valerio, you go downstairs and explain to

her. Whatever you do, make sure she calms down.”

After hearing this, Seraphina asked her, “Have you informed Leandro?”

“I have” Karan answered, “But this thing was caused by you and your mother-

Seraphina sighed slightly, comforted Valerio a few more times, then said, Tll go downstairs and get

your grandma to leave, don’t be scared, okay?”

Hearing her say this, Karan couldn’t help but glare at her.

Seraphina went downstairs to see Gloria sitting on the sofa, pale as a ghost, with a mess all around

her.

Seraphina stepped forward, picking up the cushions Gloria had thrown onto the floor and putting them

back on the sofa, then cheerfully asked, “Gloria,

what’s gotten into you?”

*Seraphina!” Gloria looked at her, gnashing her teeth in anger. “You’re living in a fantasy!”

Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle – Gloria was definitely Leandro’s mom, they both spoke the same

language.

She sat down on the farthest couch from Gloria and slowly said, “Don’t worry, I have no interest in your

son”

“You’re not interested? If you’re not interested, then why are you always hanging around him, tempting

him? You and your mother are both shameless women!” Gloria’s eyes were red hot. I won’t let you get

away with this! I’ll never let you get away with this!”

Seraphina glanced at her and said, “Gloria, if you’re going to stay in this state, I’m afraid we can’t have

a real conversation.”

“It was you who deceived him! You must’ve deceived him!” Gloria almost screamed, “He promised me.

He said he wouldn’t be seduced by you! It was you who played tricks! You and your mother are both so

cunning! You just want to take them away! My husband, my son, you want to take them all….

Impossible! Impossible! He promised me, he wouldn’t deceive me–”

As Gloria spoke, tears began to fall.

Seeing Gloria like this, Seraphina sighed softly and then said, “If you calm down, you should

understand what I mean. Your son and I, we’re just putting on a show…”

Gloria looked up at her, her eyes full of despair, but also some suspicion, “What did you say?”

Seraphina continued, “You know about Conway’s condition, we’re doing this just to keep Conway

happy and reassured. Gloria, you know Conway’s physical condition, how long do you think he can

hold on? Your son is just playing along with me. I have no intention of taking him away from you!”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was the sound of the front door opening Gloria turned around

and saw Leandro coming in.

She immediately stood up and rushed over to grab Leandro’s arm, “She said you two are just acting, is

it true? You weren’t seduced by her, you won’t really be with her, right?”

Leandro looked at Seraphina without answering.

Seraphina shrugged and said, “I told her the truth, so you better convince her not to spill the beans to

Conway.”

“Is it true? Is it true?” Gloria kept asking, clutching Leandro’s arm.

Leandro didn’t answer her, he just said. “I’ll take you home first.”

“Tell me first! Gloria’s voice was hoarse, “I just want to hear it from you!”

Seeing this, Seraphina stood up and walked to the door. She said slowly, “I asked the doctor, and he

said that Conway’s condition, even with long–term hospitalization, could only last a year at most. Mrs.

Reynolds, you’re still young, you have a long life ahead of you, Conway only has this year left, can you

let him have some happiness in this year?”

Gloria clutched Leandro’s arm tightly without turning her head.

Leandro silently looked at Seraphina. Seeing his gaze, Seraphina slightly tilted her head and smiled,

“To ease Mrs. Reynolds‘ mind, let’s make a deal. Even if Conway wants us to get married, it’s only a

contract marriage. After a year, we live our own lives and completely cut ties, okay?”

Gloria looked at Leandro with eyes full of expectation.

After a moment, Leandro finally nodded.

Gloria seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and suddenly collapsed in Leandro’s arms.

Leandro personally escorted Gloria home and stayed there until late at night before returning to the

apartment..

The apartment was very quiet. It seemed that Seraphina and Valerio had already gone to bed.

When Leandro climbed the stairs and opened Valerio’s room, he was surprised to see Seraphina lying

on Valerio’s bed, holding the sleeping Valerio.

Hearing the door open, Seraphina immediately opened her eyes.

Seeing Leandro, Seraphina just glanced at him before closing her eyes again.

Leandro stood at the door for a while before finally closing the door and leaving.

Instead of going back to his room, he went into the study.

In the quiet of the night, Leandro lit a cigarette and opened his computer.

In his inbox, there was an email from Starhaven waiting for him. Opening it, it was a progress report,

“Mr. Reynolds, the matter you inquired about has made significant progress. Once we confirm, we will

send all the information to you”
