Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 236

Hearing Seraphina's response, Keeley let out a sarcastic chuckle, and said, "I can't see how you'd want to be 'someone else's woman'? Would a woman like you be willing to live for a man?"

At this, Seraphina also smiled, "Who isn't living for themselves? I'm someone who knows how to adapt. When I need to bow down, I do so, and when I need to protect myself, that's what I do. You can call me selfish, but it's not my fault."

Keeley smirked, "So... you betrayed me to protect yourself?"

"You made things so ambiguous and let him see," Seraphina shrugged, "I had no choice."

"You..." Keeley suddenly took two steps closer to Seraphina.

Abbot, standing nearby, was on alert, ready to protect Seraphina at any moment.

Keeley caught this from the corner of his eye and sneered again.

Seraphina looked at him and said softly, "So, you should never be too overconfident. Don't blindly trust people, and don't think you can beat anyone... Remember my words, they might become your life motto someday."

"Ha!" Keeley suddenly laughed out loud, then after a moment, he nodded slowly, looking at Seraphina and said, "I'll remember you."

With that, Keeley turned around and walked into the darkness.

Soon after, the sound of a motorcycle roared from around the corner, and then quickly disappeared into the night.

Seraphina was still watching the direction Keeley had gone when a voice came from behind her, "You actually let him go. Aren't you afraid of all your efforts being wasted?"

Seraphina chuckled and turned to see Terrell.

Terrell walked up to her, also looking in the direction Keeley had gone, saying, "He hasn't fully recovered yet. He snuck out of the hospital today, I thought he was going to see someone important, but it turned out it was you."

Seraphina glanced at him, "What? I'm not important?"

"Of course you are." Terrell said with his arms crossed, "He probably hates you right now."

Seraphina just laughed, "Haven't you heard, love is the opposite of hate?"

Terrell gave her a look, then after a moment said, "You really are... good at getting to people's hearts."

"How so?" Seraphina asked, pretending to be confused.

"Keeley, he's from a well-off family, lived a carefree life since he was young and was a good student, but after his parents passed away, he changed. He started to mingle with the wrong crowd, became a... self-proclaimed expert criminal. Obviously, he has this in his DNA, restrained by his parents, but when they left, he had no more worries."

Seraphina nodded in agreement.

Terrell continued, "He likes the thrill of danger, the more dangerous, the better. To him, you probably are the most thrilling and dangerous."

Seraphina patted his hand lightly, "You've done a good job watching him, even though you haven't interacted directly, you've got a good read on his character."

"What I'm willing to do depends on the payoff." Terrell said, "When's payday?"

Seraphina glanced at his outstretched hand, shook it, and then laughed, "Don't always talk about money, it spoils the mood! Let's talk about... who Keeley interacted with while he was in the hospital."

With that, Seraphina led Terrell to the door of the drawing room, unlocked it and walked in.
