Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 319

Andrea seemed ready for the confrontation. When Seraphina shot her question straight out, she just gave a light chuckle.

“Not quite,” she said. “When I met you, I just thought, this is the type Leandro would like.”

Hearing herself described as “the type Leandro would like”, Seraphina laughed and asked, “So how did you suspect?”

“Because of my dad,” Andrea said slowly. “He treated you… very differently.”

This seemed to stun Seraphina for a moment. “Your father’s attitude towards me?”

Andrea nodded. .

“I know my dad’s personality inside out,” said Andrea. “To those who could be called friends, he would be sincere, and to those on the opposite side, he would appear outwardly civil and courteous, but when it comes down to it, he won’t hesitate to land a blow.”

“And I’m the one who’s on the wrong side of you here?”

Andrea responded coolly. “You exposed the crimes of the Naylor Group, which also implicated Mack Jones of the Jones Group, who happens to be one of my dad’s guys. In other words, you messed with his people.”

Seraphina gave a faint smile.

Andrea mentioned Mack as the reason for her feud with the Martin family. Did this mean that Andrea was unaware of the connection between Naylor and the Martin family?

“Logically, you should’ve been my dad’s enemy, but his attitude towards you is different.” Andrea said, “He claims it’s because you’re a Reynolds, but as far as I know, he’s not afraid to cross the Reynolds family. It couldn’t be just that, making him so lenient with you.”

Seraphina frowned slightly but said nothing.

“Add to this the fact that we have very similar eyes, I thought we might be related,” Andrea said slowly. “I’m not sure exactly what happened that led us to this point. But I didn’t expect you to come find me… this makes things a lot easier.”

Seraphina froze after hearing this.

Because she suddenly realized that she and Andrea were not talking about the same thing.

Her theory revolved around her biological mother Adelina, but Andrea seemed to suggest that Seraphina had a connection with Simon?

“So, if I’m not misunderstanding, you think we might be half-sisters because of the way your father acts around me?” Seraphina asked.

Hearing her question, Andrea also froze for a moment, “Isn’t that what you think?”

Seraphina burst out laughing.

She paused for a moment before saying. “Well, I don’t think so. But as you said, now that we’re together, it’s much easier to figure out. Shall we confirm it?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

In this day and age, DNA testing is a very common thing. For Seraphina and Andrea, there was nothing to worry about in the process, except maybe the results.

The wait was short. They could’ve used the time to chat, reminisce about their childhood, past experiences, and their parents.

Instead, they both chose to remain silent.

Maybe because their expectations for the results were different, and the uncertainty of the outcome was a bit awkward and unsettling.

Fortunately, they were both composed. Even in the face of silence, they remained unfazed.

Yet, this calmness was shattered the moment they received the results.

Upon seeing the results, Andrea suddenly reached out and tightly held Seraphina’s hand.

Seraphina stiffened for a moment before slowly relaxing.

She looked up at Andrea and smiled, “I think I want to see my mother.”

Andrea looked emotional but didn’t say anything, just slowly nodded, “Okay.”

After leaving the testing center, Seraphina hopped into a car and gave the driver Magdalen’s address.

Traffic was bad, but Seraphina didn’t notice.

She sat quietly in the backseat, lost in thought and silence.

When the car stopped at Magdalen’s hotel, she still hadn’t come around.

“Ma’am, we’re here,” the driver reminded her.

Seraphina came back to her senses, glanced at the hotel outside the car window, sat silently in the car for a while, then finally got out.

She arrived unannounced but didn’t find Magdalen.

Seraphina sat in the hotel lobby for a while, then looked out the window.

The hotel was located in the bustling commercial district of Sunburst City, surrounded by many brand stores, including a famous jewelry store.

Seraphina suddenly got up, left the hotel, and walked into the jewelry store.

As soon as she walked in, the sales clerk recognized her, “Mrs. Reynolds, welcome, what kind of jewelry are you looking for?”

Seraphina originally intended to buy a brooch, but ended up with a gemstone instead.

It was an emerald, warm and moist, with gold branches embedded on it, and two roses blooming side by side on the top, very exquisite.

Seraphina loved it at first sight. She bought it feeling ecstatic.

As she left the jewelry store with her shopping bag, a car pulled up. Terrence got out, went to the other side, opened the door, and helped Magdalen out.

Seraphina stood behind the car, looking sideways, only to see Terrence, all smiles and Magdalen, looking pale and vacant.

Just as the two were about to step into the hotel, Seraphina slowly approached, calling out, “Mom.”

Magdalen abruptly halted, turning to see her. A flash of coldness and disgust towards Seraphina flickered in her eyes, then quickly returned to calm.

Seeing that Magdalen didn’t respond to Seraphina, Terrence slowly said, “Seraphina, are you here for your mom?”

“Yes.” Seraphina nodded, “Sir, could I have a private moment with my mom?”

No sooner than the words fell, Magdalen icily retorted, “I have nothing to talk about with you.”

With that, she prepared to head straight into the hotel.

“Mom.” Seraphina hurriedly stepped forward, reaching out to grasp her arm.

Magdalen turned her head to look at her, about to shake off her hand in disgust, when Seraphina softly said, “Please.”

Magdalen was suddenly stunned, momentarily forgetting how to react.
