Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 155

Leandro was engrossed in his phone until Sandra took a seat, then he slowly looked up at her, "Hello, Ms. Sandra."

Sandra sat across from him, her gaze steady, "You actually know me, Mr. Reynolds?"

"I've heard of you for a long time," Leandro replied.

"I've also heard of Mr. Reynolds for quite a while, just didn't expect we'd officially meet today," Sandra said, "Anything in particular you wanted to talk about, Mr. Reynolds?"

Leandro simply said, "Seraphina."

A laugh escaped Sandra, "What's the deal between you and Seraphina? Why would you want to talk about her with me?"

"Ms. Sandra, you're a smart person. Why play with words with me?" Leandro replied nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Sandra said, "Well, I might disappoint you then, Mr. Reynolds. Most of the time, Seraphina and I share the same view. And I don't think Seraphina is exactly a rocket scientist either. If she were, she wouldn't have been duped into thinking a bad guy was a good guy."

Leandro didn't seem to care about her comments. He calmly said, "Seems like Ms. Sandra knows everything about her."

"Yes, I do," Sandra confirmed, "What's your point? What do you want to know from me, Mr. Reynolds?"

"Everything."

Sandra shook her head slowly, "I won't betray Seraphina."

Upon hearing this, Leandro lowered his gaze slightly and casually said, "I just want to know her life in recent years, would that be considered 'betrayal', Ms. Sandra?"

A hint of change appeared on Sandra's face, then she said, "If she hadn't been deceived, framed, and driven to Starhaven... Mr. Reynolds, wouldn't you already know about her life? I'm well aware of what you've done to her. And now you want me to tell you about her recent years so you can use it against her? Dream on!"

With that, she stood up and turned to leave. But she accidentally bumped into a waiter bringing her coffee, splashing it on her. Annoyed, she began wiping it off with a napkin.

Leandro watched her retreating figure, remaining seated, and said quietly, "I hope you have enough guts and resources to keep refusing then."

Although he said it calmly, Sandra sensed something. She looked back at him before leaving.

Leandro didn't watch her leave. He sat for a while, then took out a cigarette. Just as he was about to light it, he remembered he was in a public place and threw the unlit cigarette into a trash can. He silently turned to look out the window, his gaze somber and silent.

Keen, sitting at a nearby table, felt a bit uneasy seeing Leandro like this.

...

It was a weekend, and Seraphina brought Valerio to the hospital to visit Conway. They bumped into Lorenzo Reynolds on their way out.

"Hi, Lory." Seraphina greeted him familiarly as soon as she saw him.

Valerio just stood quietly by her side, watching him.

Lorenzo glanced at Seraphina holding Valerio's hand, nodded slightly in greeting.

"Why didn't I see you yesterday?" Seraphina asked.
