Surprisingly, Seraphina didn't seem too shocked when she heard the news.
Instead, her eyes were eerily calm.
After a moment of silence, Seraphina asked, "Is Andrea's mom still alive?"
Patrick slowly replied, "As far as I know, she should have passed away."
Upon hearing this, Seraphina just gave a faint smile and nodded.
She had known this outcome all along - if Andrea's mother was still alive, why would Andrea say all those things about her parents' marriage when she came to see her?
"Thanks, Mr. Gray," Seraphina quickly stood up, "Sorry to bother you today."
Patrick seemed to sense something, but he didn't ask more, simply standing up, "If you have any questions about Adelina, I can help you check."
"No need," Seraphina said, "I'll dig up what I want to know. Thanks though."
As Seraphina thanked him repeatedly, Patrick didn't ask any more questions. He gave a light smile and walked Seraphina out.
As soon as Seraphina left Patrick's company, she immediately made a call to Herman.
"Can you help me dig up some info on someone?" Seraphina asked directly.
"Who?" Herman's voice sounded a bit tense.
"Andrea's biological mother, Adelina. She's dead," Seraphina said.
Hearing this, Herman felt puzzled and curious, "Who is she? Why is this so important?"
Seraphina suddenly picked up something from his words, "What do you mean?"
Herman paused, then said, "Don't you guys talk to each other? I just sent this info about Adelina to Leandro."
Hearing this, Seraphina was surprised.
Leandro started looking into Adelina's identity even before she did, meaning Leandro also sensed something?
As an outsider, his thinking should be clearer than hers. So, when she was confused, he had already made the decision for her, casually giving the Jasmine painting to Magdalen; and when she was still reeling from the shock, he had already started looking into this.
Seraphina initially just wanted to know the truth, but when she found out that Leandro was also investigating Adelina, a corner of her heart suddenly felt empty and lost, as if from that corner, this hollow feeling was spreading infinitely.
...
That day, Leandro was out for a meeting. When he returned to the company, it was already two in the afternoon.
As soon as he arrived at his office, Yasmina quickly approached, "Mr. Reynolds, Mrs. Reynolds is here, waiting for you in the office."
Hearing this, Leandro asked, "How long has she been here?"
Yasmina pursed her lips, looked at the time, and answered, "About two hours."
Leandro's eyes darkened a bit.
Seeing the situation, Keen quickly asked, "Why didn't you call to let me know?"
Yasmina hurriedly said, "Mrs. Reynolds told me not to disturb Mr. Reynolds' work, she said she had nothing else to do, she could wait..."
Leandro didn't wait for Yasmina to finish, he directly walked into his office.
Opening the door, he found Seraphina sitting in his office chair, looking bored to death, her head tilted back, blowing a bubble gum.
