Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 301

While Naylor's death did hit Seraphina pretty hard, Valerio's care and warmth comforted her to a greater extent.

So, in less than half a day, Seraphina picked herself up from the shock, calmly accepting and confronting the reality.

Before, she was hired by Patrick Gray to investigate the Jones family's three consecutive accidents and uncover the truth behind the death of the previous reporter, Woody, in a fire. Now, the truth was all out in the open.

With Naylor's death, the only person left to hold responsible in this crime gang was Keeley. However, Keeley, who only carried out tasks, was mostly in the dark about who his boss was.

But for the three accidents involving the Jones family, since they were related to his kin, Mack Jones, a little inquiry revealed the truth. Mack was arrested after he confessed honestly, so Seraphina had successfully completed the task Patrick had entrusted her with.

As for Sandra, who was innocently dragged into this, that was Seraphina's own job.

Even though Naylor was gone, she was not about to stop digging.

Even if the real culprit could hide for a while, they would eventually be exposed with time and get the punishment they deserved.

In the days that followed, Seraphina began to focus on writing reports about the Jones family, Woody, and this crime gang.

After finishing the draft, Seraphina sent it to Terrell for review.

Having read the draft, Terrell made some modifications and sent it back to Seraphina.

Seraphina, who had been abroad most of the time and had only published one report about Balch Lawson's murder case in the country, found that Terrell's grasp of the domestic news environment was much better than hers. His revisions indeed made her draft more polished.

After several rounds of edits, Seraphina sent the draft along with the relevant materials to Patrick.

Patrick, who was overseas, replied the next day.

For Seraphina's work capability and the completion level of this task, Patrick gave high praise.

Seraphina, not one for formalities, directly asked for a bonus, which Patrick agreed to without hesitation.

"By the way, your office is ready. When are you thinking of officially joining us?"

Upon reading this message from Patrick, Seraphina glanced at her side.

At the moment, she was sitting in Leandro's study, with Valerio diligently doing his homework beside her.

Ever since Valerio began to try to speak, although he couldn't make a sound for now, he seemed to realize that even if he couldn't, Seraphina would still be happy.

So he went from being shy and hesitant at first to trying to talk when he saw Seraphina, the bond between this mother and son in name only had grown stronger, and Valerio was more willing to be with her every day.

But if she officially joined Patrick's company, she would inevitably start official work. Especially for investigative reporters, they often have to rush around different places, and having an irregular schedule is the norm.

Although Seraphina was already used to such a work routine, it seemed less suitable for her now.

Putting Leandro's thoughts aside for now, the kid beside her might be the first to object. Not to mention that in the past few days, Seraphina seemed to have become reliant on him.

Furthermore, she still had to keep an eye on the Martin family and Bowen. In her current condition, she felt a little guilty about working.

"I've considered it, and with my current situation, I can't fully handle the job you're offering," Seraphina said. "But if you trust me, I can recommend someone to you."

Patrick was not too surprised by her response, but he expressed regret and asked who Seraphina would recommend.

"Terrell," Seraphina answered. "An experienced reporter."

Unexpectedly, Patrick said, "Him? I've heard of him."
