Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 226

"The Martin family?" Seraphina asked, turning her head to Leandro. "Which the Martin family are you talking about?"

Leandro just looked at her calmly, implying confirmation.

The Martin family where Tania Martin, who once dated Bowen Smith, and Andrea, who was once engaged to Leandro, belonged to. It was also the family of Patrick Gray's brother-in-law.

The Martin family that was rumored to have made their fortune by illegal means and hid all kinds of ugly things.

For a medium-sized company like the Jones Group, it was quite normal to seek the protection of a big power. If Mack chose to rely on the Martin family, then those cases might also have the support of the Martin family behind them?

"If this matter is related to the Martin family, then—"

Before Seraphina could finish her sentence, Herman took over. "Then, you can't continue the investigation."

Seraphina blinked in confusion, "Why?"

Herman explained, "Since you're investigating, you should be clear about the actual situation of these cases and how dangerous they are. If the Martin family knew you were investigating them, the consequences would be unthinkable."

Seraphina leaned back into the couch, laughing lightly, "You could even choke on bread, but would you stop eating bread because of that?"

Having said that, she turned to look at Leandro.

Leandro was playing with an unlit cigarette in his hand, not looking at her.

Herman knew he couldn't easily persuade Seraphina to give up, so he continued, "I can continue the investigation. Anyway, it would definitely go smoother if I were to do it."

"Isn't it that you can't open a case without evidence?" Seraphina asked.

Herman calmly replied, "I can investigate privately."

"Then we can totally cooperate and investigate together." Seraphina immediately said excitedly, "Plus the everywhere-at-once Terrell, I believe we can definitely find out the truth."

Hearing this, Herman stopped talking abruptly. His eyes quickly swept over Leandro, then he firmly said, "No, it's too risky, you absolutely cannot get involved."

Seraphina noticed where his gaze had fallen, and laughed, "On what ground are you saying this? What can you do to me if I don't agree with you?"

"I'm just worried about you," Herman said, "There are so many cases in the world, why can't you investigate others and have to stick to this one?"

"I just like to finish what I start." Seraphina answered with a smile.

Herman was speechless for a moment and could only look at Leandro.

He came here and said so much, all for Leandro.

He knew how much Leandro cared about Seraphina. What man would want to see the woman he loves take risks?

But Seraphina just liked to take risks, which was inexplicable.

Leandro sat aside, silent all the time, like a bystander.

It was only when Seraphina reached out and grabbed his arm, half-leaning into his arms, that he looked at her.

"Why does he keep looking at you?" Seraphina asked, "Is it you who doesn't want me to continue the investigation? But you clearly promised me before."

"Do you really want to go on with the investigation?" Leandro asked.
