After Seraphina left the Wilson family's house, she drove a couple of blocks and then pulled over.
At this point, it was the wee hours, and the whole city was gradually falling into the most peaceful time of the day. Despite this, cars were still constantly passing by her.
Where were these busy people rushing off to?
Seraphina sat in her car for a while, then suddenly pulled out her phone and dialed Magdalen's number.
The first time, the phone rang a few times before it was hung up.
The second time, the phone was hung up after only one ring.
The third time...
The fourth time...
Not until the tenth plus time did Magdalen finally pick up. Her cool voice was filled with impatience: "What’s wrong with you?"
Seraphina heard faint noises from her end. Clearly, she was still at a party.
She was quiet for a moment, then slowly said, "Dad's birthday is the day after tomorrow. Should we have a meal together?"
On the other end of the phone, Magdalen seemed to be quiet for a while, then suddenly hung up.
Seraphina stared at her phone for a while, chuckled, and then dialed another number.
As soon as the call was connected, Sandra's complaining voice came through: "You heartless girl! You've been gone for so long, and you finally remember me?"
Seraphina cut to the chase, "Can I borrow a million from you?"
Sandra was startled by this sudden request, "A million? What are you planning to do?"
"I have something to deal with." Seraphina answered, "But, you know my financial situation. I can only pay you back slowly."
"Hold on. What are you doing that needs a million?" Sandra lowered her voice and asked, "Is it dangerous?"
"Not for me." Seraphina said, "But it might be dangerous for those who have crossed me."
......
When Seraphina returned to her apartment, Leandro's car was no longer in sight downstairs.
That's to be expected. How could a busybody like Leandro, who even schedules his sex life, wait at one place for a woman?
Seraphina opened the car door, went upstairs, but unexpectedly found Farrah napping on her couch.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Farrah immediately woke up. Seeing Seraphina, she rubbed her eyes sleepily.
"Why are you still here?" Seraphina looked at her, "Is my couch that comfy?"
As Farrah gradually woke up, she snorted, "I was waiting for you."
Seraphina poured herself a glass of water and laughed, "Waiting for me for what? What about that hunk you were eyeing?"
"He left after receiving a call." Farrah crossed her arms and looked at her, "Seraphina, I waited for you to come back just to tell you that I've got my eye on him, and I'm planning to compete with you for him."
Seraphina almost spit out a mouthful of water. Her gaze swept over Farrah's chest, "With...your heavy metal style and those small breasts?"
"What's wrong with small breasts?" Farrah got angry, "How do you know he won't like it?"
Seraphina leaned against the wall and looked at her, laughing, "You met him for the first time today, right? What do you like about him?"
"He's handsome, has a good body, mature and stable, completely my type." Farrah answered.
Seraphina nodded in agreement, then added, "His skills in bed are also very good. If you can win him over, you're really lucky."
"What are you talking about?" Farrah's face suddenly turned beet red, "When did I tell you that?"
