Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the van zipped away.
Despite the property management and security guards trying to chase and stop it, their efforts were futile.
Una exhaled softly, turning to look at Seraphina, ready to ask for compliments about her performance, but found Seraphina walking straight towards Abbot.
Though Seraphina’s face was calm and composed, she bent over to look at Abbot in the car, asking him, “You okay?”
Abbot replied, “I’m fine.” Noticing Seraphina’s facial expression, he didn't say more.
He had been by Seraphina's side for a long time, traveling to many places.
At this moment, Seraphina's expression was calm, without a ripple, even her eyes lost their usual luster. Such a situation could only mean that she was troubled.
Meanwhile, the van turned the corner and was about to disappear. The driver kept his eyes on the rearview mirror. Seeing no abnormalities, he turned his eyes back and focused on driving out of the residential area.
Una quickly sent the property management and security guards away.
Seraphina watched as they left and glanced at the exit of the housing estate.
The van was gone.
After Abbot parked the car, he walked over to Seraphina and asked in a low voice, “Ma’am, is something off?”
Seraphina clearly heard his question, but there was no change in her expression and she didn't answer him.
Una then came over and asked curiously, “So, how did it go? Are we continuing tonight?”
“No need.” Seraphina replied, “You've been bothered for two days, that's enough.”
Upon hearing this, Una immediately asked out of curiosity, “So where are you going to investigate next? Need my help?”
Seraphina smiled at her and replied, “I'm going home.”
……
At half past eleven in the evening, the Reynolds family's driver pulled up at the villa door to pick up Seraphina.
Seraphina and Abbot got in the car and the driver slowly drove towards Reynolds Manor.
The road was wide and clear at night. The traffic wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either. The cars flowed smoothly like clouds and water on the streets.
How many of the bright lights were shining on their car?
Seraphina calmly looked out the window, remaining silent, until they returned to Reynolds Manor.
After getting out of the car, Seraphina went straight into the house.
The driver also noticed Seraphina's odd behavior. After she entered the house, he couldn't help but quietly ask Abbot, “What’s wrong with the missus?”
Abbot shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either.
At this time, Conway and Valerio were already asleep, and Seraphina had asked Leandro for a week of free time, so Leandro might not be back today.
Seraphina went straight upstairs to her bedroom, didn't turn on the lights. After closing the door, she walked in the dark to the bed, took off her shoes and got into bed.
She didn't change her clothes, but just sat on the bed wrapped in a blanket, quietly thinking about what just happened.
Things happened so fast that she didn't even have time to react before it was over.
Now, she finally had time to rethink the whole situation again.
She had an excellent memory and was very good at reviewing what she had seen.
So, starting from when the van drove into the residential area, the scenes played out in her mind like a movie, frame by frame.
Until that moment.
In front of her, the moment the car window curtain was pulled open.
The scene in Seraphina's mind stopped.
In that scene, she saw a face, a face of someone who had already passed away, a face that shouldn't appear in this world again.
