Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 285

Hearing Seraphina's words, Herman's gaze went blank for a moment.

Actually, while going through these surveillance videos again and again, he had already thought about this possibility.

Yet, even though this idea had crossed his mind, hearing it from someone else made it feel completely different.

Especially when it was as firmly stated as Seraphina did.

No matter how long he had thought about it or how many conjectures he had made, he found it hard to accept at this moment.

"All we have are theories," Herman said in a low voice. "We don't have any proof."

Seraphina looked at him and said, "They're theories, but they're reasonable theories. You thought of it yourself, why can't you accept it?"

"It's not that I can't accept it," Herman said. "But investigations need evidence, we can't just accuse someone based on a guess!"

"You need evidence, I don't." After saying this, Seraphina turned to leave.

Leandro, who had been silent all this while, reached out to stop her. Seraphina looked back at him. Leandro gave her a look and said softly, "Calm down."

Seraphina wanted to shake him off.

Now that the crime syndicate responsible for harming Sandra Smith was fully exposed to her, how could she stay calm?

But this thought only lasted a moment. Looking into Leandro's eyes, Seraphina paused a bit and then slowly calmed down.

"Alright," she said, "I'll calm down."

Leandro didn't let go of her hand, holding it all the while, occasionally squeezing it as if to remind her of his presence.

Seraphina did feel it and her mind gradually settled down.

She looked at Herman again and said slowly, "Since he's a suspect and you don't have any evidence, you should be looking for evidence instead of denying the possibility."

After hearing this, Herman lit up a cigarette and walked over to a nearby balcony.

Seraphina watched as Herman left. Suddenly, she thought of something and nudged Leandro.

Leandro looked back at her. Seraphina made a gesture at him and then looked back at Herman, signaling him to go over.

Herman might not want to listen to her, but he should be willing to listen to Leandro, right?

Getting Seraphina's hint, Leandro let go of her hand and walked towards the balcony.

The night was dim and neon lights one after another lit up. From the balcony, the city lights were flickering, beautiful and peaceful.

But who knew how much evil was hidden behind this beauty?

Hearing Leandro's footsteps, Herman didn't move from the balcony. After a while, he said, "I know everything she said is right, but I just...don't want to face this truth."

"It’s not you don't want to face the truth," Leandro said. "You just don't want to face this person."
