Herman was about to call Leandro when he saw Leandro's car drive through the gate. He initially thought Leandro and Seraphina might have had a fight, but seeing Leandro rushing over in a shirt, he thought otherwise.
Leandro’s style was always meticulous, even if there was a slight wrinkle on his suit, he would change it, not to mention the slight water stain on the shirt he just put on.
Herman was a bit puzzled. He wanted to follow in to see what was happening, but didn't want to disturb them at this time, so he went to the corner to smoke.
He had just taken a few puffs when he saw Andrea coming out of the gate, standing under the eaves.
Herman hid in the shadows, carefully observing the woman.
He had once warned Seraphina that this woman had feelings for Leandro, but Seraphina seemed to trust this woman too much.
The women of the Martin family... The thought of it sent shivers down Herman's spine.
What kind of daughters could the Martin family raise? Tania was a perfect example.
And Andrea, although ordinary on the surface, was probably even more terrifying.
As Herman watched Tania's back, he pondered.
As he was deep in thought, a familiar song suddenly played from the office building's entrance—
"The long night, the stars will never stop, I ask why people cannot exist forever, I hope we leave a light to illuminate the dark night…"
Herman heard the sound, looked at Andrea, and saw her take out her phone from her bag and answer it.
Herman instantly became alert.
The call was from Simon. After Andrea answered the call, she said, "Dad."
Simon asked about the situation on the other end of the phone. After Andrea truthfully answered, she finally said, "Dad, my uncles Lionel and Teague are here, I can't help much here."
Simon didn't say much, just said, "Then you go back and rest early."
Andrea responded, quickly hung up the phone.
But as soon as she put down her phone, she heard a snicker from behind.
Andrea turned her head and saw Herman coming out of the shadows.
Herman, with a cigarette in his hand, squinted at her and said, "You won't even help your own cousin. You're really fair."
After a moment of silence, Andrea calmly said, "If I helped her, Mr. Herman, you would probably say I had other motives for getting close to Seraphina. No matter what I do, I will be criticized. I don't need to care about what others think."
After saying this, she made a goodbye gesture to Herman and turned to walk towards the gate.
"Wait!" Seeing her ready to leave, Herman suddenly called her.
Andrea stopped, but didn't look back.
Looking at her back, Herman seemed a bit hesitant, but finally asked, "When did you start using that ringtone?"
Hearing this question, Andrea's gaze wavered slightly. The next moment, she chuckled, turned to look at Herman, "I heard this song in your car that day and thought it was nice, so I set it as my ringtone. The copyright of the song doesn't belong to you, so even if you mind, I'm not planning to change it."
Hearing her say this, Herman's face instantly became serious and he turned and went into the office.
Andrea watched his figure disappear from view, stood quietly for a moment, then slowly turned and left.
When Herman returned to the office, Leandro was about to leave with Seraphina.
Just as they were about to leave, Lionel suddenly came out.
"Mr. Reynolds," Lionel called to Leandro, "Mrs. Reynolds was frightened tonight, I'm very sorry. Can I explain what happened?"
Hearing his words, Leandro didn't look back at him, but turned to look at Seraphina who was standing next to him.
Seraphina slightly lifted her chin and glanced at him.
"My wife is the victim," Leandro slowly said, "I have no intention of accepting any explanations."
Hearing his response, Seraphina gave a satisfied smile.
Lionel clenched his teeth secretly, once again approached Seraphina, "Mrs. Reynolds, can I explain to you?"
At this point, Seraphina suddenly put on a scared look and shrunk back behind Leandro.
Leandro immediately stepped forward to protect Seraphina.
Seraphina was about to speak when the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened and Tania was brought out by the police.
Tania, who had just come out, saw Seraphina and immediately rushed towards her, but was stopped by the police officer next to her.
"Tania!" Teague followed closely behind, grabbed Tania and sternly said, "Stop making a scene!"
Unlike her usual sweet and gentle appearance, Tania now looked disheveled, her eyes red and swollen, looking very haggard.
She stared at Seraphina, her tears suddenly falling.
Seraphina watched coldly, without any reaction.
"Where's Bowen?" Tania finally spoke up, her voice hoarse, "Tell me where he is, please, tell me—"
Seraphina was suddenly filled with rage.
Because when Tania asked this question, there was no anger, but full of sadness and sorrow, and her tone was begging humbly.
