After Una finished speaking, she didn't wait for Seraphina to respond. She took out her phone and raised an eyebrow at Seraphina, then made a call.
Seraphina didn't bother listening in on Una's phone conversation. She continued to lean by the window, scrutinizing the direction of Bowen's villa.
About fifteen minutes later, Una walked over to Seraphina and whispered, "I found out. The house is registered under Tania Martin's name."
"What?" This answer took Seraphina by surprise. "Tania?"
Una nodded seriously, "The intel I got is legit."
"Tania lives in this neighborhood?" Seraphina asked. "Have you seen her around?"
Una shook her head, "Nope. I just moved here a few months ago. I'm out early and back late. Maybe she does live here, but I wouldn't know."
Hearing this, Seraphina couldn't help but frown.
Was Tania searching for Bowen here? Had Bowen come here to see her?
Something didn't feel right. After pondering for a while, Seraphina called Andrea.
She remembered Andrea mentioning that apart from the single Lionel, the rest of the Martin family lived together. So, Andrea should be well-informed about Tania.
Andrea soon told Seraphina what she wanted to know, "Tania's home. She's been looking for Bowen these past few days, but she can't find him. Nobody in the family is helping her because they want her to cut ties with Bowen. She's on her own..."
"She's at home now?" Seraphina confirmed again.
Andrea responded affirmatively and then asked, "What's up?"
"Nothing much." Seraphina said, "I just found out where Bowen is."
Upon hearing this, Andrea fell silent for a moment, then asked cautiously, "What are you going to do?"
"Tania is your cousin." Seraphina said, "Since she's looking for Bowen, you as her cousin should lend a helping hand, right?"
......
About forty minutes later, a car sped into the neighborhood.
Using her binoculars, Seraphina was able to see Tania's plate number.
As expected, Tania had a house in this neighborhood, but she hadn't found Bowen here.
Maybe Tania had come here before, but she would've only checked out the house under Bowen's name. If she didn't find him there, she would give up. How could she ever think that Bowen would be in a house under her own name?
Now, Tania stormed into the house registered under her name. What would she find?
In the darkness, Seraphina sat quietly by the window, keeping an eye on that unseen location.
If Bowen was really here, if he had hidden that woman named Leilani Sawyer in the house... what would happen next?
Would Tania barge in and make a scene, attracting the attention of security and revealing everything? Or would Bowen manage to calm her down and keep things quiet?
But would Tania, the fool, be fooled by him so easily?
As Seraphina was contemplating all the possible outcomes, a black car emerged from the depths of the neighborhood.
At 3 a.m., hardly any cars were coming in or out of the neighborhood. Hence, she noticed when Tania's car entered, and the same for this black car.
However, while Tania's car had stormed into the neighborhood, this black car moved steadily through the darkness like a ghost.
As the car passed by Una's house, Seraphina quickly noted down the plate number, then got into her car and followed the black car out of the neighborhood.
It was pretty clear—
Only two minutes after Tania's car went in, the black car came out, probably related to Bowen.
But Bowen, who was being searched for by Tania, surely couldn't be in that car. If he was, the car wouldn't be moving so steadily.
If Bowen wasn't in the car, then who could it be?
