On the same morning, it was all calm and peaceful inside Reynolds Manor.
When the youngest daughter of the Reynolds family, Nanette Reynolds, walked into the hall, she saw Gloria sitting alone on the living room couch, holding a tablet, engrossed in something.
Approaching Gloria, Nanette asked, "Weren't you supposed to have breakfast with dad today? Why are you home alone?"
Setting down her tablet, Gloria calmly responded, "Everyone's got their own stuff to do, they've all gone out. Didn't you also come back alone?"
Seeing Gloria's downcast expression, Nanette glanced at the tablet she had just put down, "What are you looking at all by yourself?"
"What else could it be?" Gloria replied with a glum face, "The dignity of the Reynolds family has been thrown away!"
Upon hearing this, Nanette immediately understood, "Is it because of Seraphina? I also watched the interview. She's already clarified that she has nothing to do with Leandro, isn't that good? This way, Leandro won't be unfairly linked to her, and nobody in our family has to bother with her anymore."
Gloria gave her a glance, "Do you really think Seraphina can be easily dismissed?"
"Are you worried she'll keep clinging to Leandro?" asked Nanette, "Then why didn't she want the title of future granddaughter-in-law of the Reynolds family?"
Gloria scoffed, "How would I know her crafty tricks?"
Upon hearing this, Nanette nodded pensively, "You're right. Her return this time demonstrates that she's no ordinary individual, otherwise, none of this would have transpired. It's odd that both dad and Bruce are shielding her, and we're rendered helpless."
As the conversation unfolded, Gloria appeared increasingly agitated. She furrowed her brow, pressing her hand against her forehead.
After a moment of silence, an idea struck Nanette, "Why not arrange a good marriage for her? It would be more beneficial for her to meddle in another family than the Reynolds family."
Gloria scoffed, "Do you think dad and Bruce would allow her to marry just anybody?"
"I didn't suggest she marry just anybody." Nanette retorted with a slight smirk, "There are numerous high-profile families in Sunburst City. Can't we identify one that dad and Bruce would endorse?"
......
When Seraphina returned to Reynolds Manor for lunch, she was just in time to dine with Conway.
Conway didn't mind her staying out all night, but he had a lot to say about the interview she did.
"Did you deny your relationship with him because you're upset that Valerio is Leandro's biological son?" Conway asked.
After peeling a shrimp for Conway, Seraphina sighed helplessly, "Grandpa, do I look like a petty person to you?"
"Then tell me, why did you say that?" Conway pushed away the shrimp she had given him, showing her no respect.
"I'm doing all this for the Reynolds family," Seraphina said, "I have a bad reputation, who knows what I might do in the future. If I get involved with your grandson, it will only harm the Reynolds family."
Conway picked up a fork and tapped it on Seraphina's head, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Neither your grandson nor I like each other. Only you are hoping for it." Seraphina answered, "Please stop playing matchmaker for us."
Just as she finished speaking, laughter came from outside the room, "What are you guys chatting about? It looks so heated!"
Seraphina turned to see Nanette walking in with a big smile on her face. She greeted Conway, then called out to Seraphina, "Sera."
Seraphina rolled her eyes.
