Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 100

Being a journalist, Seraphina had a knack for capturing nuances in conversations. As soon as Bruce's words reached her ears, she was reminded of a remark Karan had once made.

She scrutinized Bruce carefully before venturing, "Is he the offspring of the Reynolds family? Don't tell me he's your..."

Bruce raised his hand, gently tapping her forehead, "What notions are you entertaining? The lad is Leandro's."

Seraphina clasped her forehead, "He brought a child home, only to discover the child was his?"

Bruce guided her into a room, settled himself, and proceeded, "Your grandfather must have shared the story. Leandro brought the child home, simply declaring, 'I found this kid on the street,' before leaving. The household was left in a state of bewilderment. Only later, when his cousins had the child's DNA analyzed, did it become apparent that the child was linked to the Reynolds lineage. Leandro was oblivious to this and ordered the child to be handed over to the police. En route, they intercepted the child with the DNA test report..."

Seraphina listened intently, "This sounds like a TV drama."

Bruce nodded, "After further testing, it was confirmed that he was indeed Leandro's child. But where the child came from, who sent the child over, these are still mysteries."

Seraphina snorted, "Doesn't he know who he's slept with? Or has he had so many partners that he can't keep track?"

Bruce didn't blame her for being blunt, just gave her a helpless look.

Seraphina asked again, "What happened next? Were there any clues found?"

"Nothing," Bruce replied, "Leandro was very angry about it a few years ago. The company and family issues were already giving him a headache, plus a sudden child, he suspected it was a trap set by his enemies... We spent a lot of energy investigating, but there was never any result. Only later did Leandro gradually accept the child, but there has been no news of the child's mother over the years."

The child was given to Leandro, but his mother never showed up. It was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.

So when Leandro said it was a "pointless matter," it was because he couldn't find any clues. This could be one of the few things that made Leandro anxious.

Seraphina thought about this and couldn't help but laugh.

"Is it really that funny?" Bruce looked at her fondly.

"He might have been set up," Seraphina said, "I'd really like to know who could make Leandro suffer. Bruce, if I help you find out who this person is, what will you give me as a reward?"

Bruce laughed, "What do you want?"

"Half the world of the Reynolds family," Seraphina responded without hesitation.

"That's easy," Bruce said, "Marry Leandro,then you will have it, right?"

Seraphina raised her hand that was red from Gloria's slap, "Stop kidding!”

Seeing her like this, Bruce sighed and changed the subject, "Speaking of your previous investigation on Balch Lawson, I have a media friend who wants to interview you. Sre you interested?"

"I'm part of the media industry myself," Seraphina countered, "Why would I need someone else to conduct my interview?"

"Even though the incident is evident, you never formally clarified your association with Balch," Bruce responded, "Public curiosity is inevitable. An interview to dispel the prevailing ambiguities would be beneficial for your career trajectory, wouldn't it?"
