Seraphina opened her compact mirror, casually checking her makeup and asking, "Really? What's different?"
Farrah looked her up and down, puzzled. She still dressed the same, her face hadn't changed, but something felt off.
"You done staring?" Seraphina asked. "Nadine doesn’t like to wait. Don't pin it on me if she does."
Farrah gave her a glare and drove off.
The trip to the Wilson family mansion would take about fifty minutes. Along the way, Seraphina casually asked around about the specifics of Magdalen's predicament.
News spread fast in the journalist circle, and Seraphina soon got the scoop. The story was simple enough. Magdalen had a new boyfriend, but this time, the boyfriend had a powerful wife who, upon finding out about the affair, had Magdalen kidnapped.
Although the cause was simple, the people involved were not.
Seraphina wanted to dig deeper, but it didn't feel right, so she dropped it.
Upon arriving at the Wilson family mansion, Seraphina got out of the car and followed Farrah inside to meet Nadine.
Inside the quiet and cold living room, Nadine was sitting by the fireplace, reading a book with her reading glasses on.
"Granny, I brought Seraphina," Farrah swaggered in and plopped down on the sofa.
Seraphina followed behind her, appearing more well-behaved. She smiled and greeted, "Granny."
Nadine then lifted her head leisurely, took off her glasses, and looked at her.
Despite being close to seventy, Nadine looked great due to good maintenance. Even though her hair had turned white, her well-groomed hairstyle and makeup exuded elegance and sophistication.
However, this elegance and sophistication came with a sense of superiority, because the old lady's gaze was arrogant and indifferent.
She didn't like Magdalen, so naturally, she wouldn't like Seraphina.
Seraphina understood this and didn't care. She sat down next to Farrah and said, "I've been so busy with work that I haven't had time to visit you, Granny. I hope you don't mind."
Nadine's expression didn't change at all.
Indeed, they hadn't seen each other for over two years before this meeting. The last time they met was at Samuel's funeral. Even if Seraphina had been busy, if she had wanted to visit, she wouldn't have waited this long.
"Are you still a reporter?" Nadine asked coldly.
Seraphina smiled brightly, "Yes."
"So, you know about your mother's situation then?"
Seraphina still smiled and nodded.
In fact, she had rushed back to Starhaven after hearing about Magdalen's troubles. However, she didn't explain the specifics to the people in Sunburst City, for fear of stirring up more trouble.
"I visited her in the hospital as soon as I got off the plane last night," Seraphina said. "She's fine, Granny, you don't have to worry."
Upon hearing this, Nadine said, "I'm not worried about her."
