Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 71

Gloria's face changed in an instant upon hearing Seraphina's words.

"Seraphina, you're always trying to seduce Leandro! I've known you're no good since you were a child, and now you're even worse! What do you think you're going to get out of this? What are you thinking?"

The previous Gloria was just sarcastic about Seraphina. But the old Seraphina was sensitive and fragile. Gloria's words could easily get her down for a long time.

Sipping her milk, Seraphina just shrugged nonchalantly, "Even if I did try to seduce him, if your son had any self-control, he wouldn't fall for it. Did I force him into bed with me? It was his own choice to be with me."

No sooner had she finished her sentence than the glass in front of her was empty, with just a little bit left on the spoon in her hand.

To Seraphina’s shock, Gloria flung her glass to the floor in a fit of rage. She pointed at Seraphina and screamed, "Get out! Leave the Reynolds family!"

"Gloria, I don't want to be here either, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for your son and Bruce." Seraphina took a sip of her milk and looked innocent.

Gloria was shaking with rage, and just as she was about to hit Seraphina, Karan suddenly ran in from outside, grabbing Gloria, "My lady, calm down, calm down, please!"

"Karan, get her out, get her out of here! I don’t want to see her!" Gloria clung to Karan's sleeve, pointing at Seraphina and roaring.

"Got it." Karan rarely sounded so calm, "You go upstairs and rest, I'll get rid of her right away."

As Karan was leading Gloria upstairs, she said, "Why bother fighting with her? She's not worth it. Leandro could never seriously be into her, he's just cheating her..."

As Seraphina listened to Karan's voice fading away upstairs, she turned to the maid who was hiding in the kitchen, "Sorry for the trouble, can you get me another glass of milk? I'm still hungry..."

After a while, the maid came out of the kitchen with another glass of milk. As she put it down in front of Seraphina, she couldn't help but take a closer look at her.

Seraphina took the glass and gave her a smile.

It was almost when she had finished her milk that Karan finally came down from upstairs. Seeing Seraphina still sitting at the dining table, she stormed over, "You still have the nerve to eat here? Seraphina, you were raised by the Reynolds family, can't you show some respect to Gloria, the lady of the Reynolds family?"

"I was raised by the Reynolds family..." Seraphina looked at her, "Why can't Gloria respect me?"

"How else do you want her to respect you?" Karan said, "She's let you live in this house all these years, isn't that enough?"

Seraphina shrugged and laughed, "Karan, you got it wrong, I did live in the Reynolds family for many years, but Gloria never accepted me. You neither, right?"

"Don't use me as an excuse!" Karan said, "What am I in this house? How I treat you is my business! But she's put up with you for so many years, she's had enough, and you dare to talk to her like that? Have you no conscience?”

Seraphina got the hint.

In fact, the reason she was taken in by the Reynolds family and accepted by Conway and Bruce was because of her mom, Magdalen.

Unlike Seraphina who came to the Reynolds family when she was 10, Magdalen had lived in the Reynolds family since she was a child and was raised by them.

And because of this, there seemed to be some emotional entanglement between Bruce and Magdalen, which was why Gloria never accepted Seraphina.

"I do have a conscience." Seraphina said, "But I'm not the one who made her suffer, so I don't feel sorry for her."
