Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 76

Upon hearing this, the woman froze momentarily, slowly raising her eyes to meet his gaze.

Their eyes met, and Balch's no longer held the warmth and clarity it once did. Behind his thin glasses, an icy coldness was hard to conceal.

She slowly let go of him, staring at him for a long while before finally sneering, "So, you're here for her."

She turned around, took a few stiff steps away, but couldn't help turning back, "We haven't seen each other alone in almost two years before she showed up. After she did, you've seen me three times, all because of her! Now, she's Leandro's fiancée, yet she shamelessly keeps approaching you! What do you even see in a woman like that?"

Balch listened to her quietly, his expression remaining cold, "So, you're not backing down?"

"No!" The woman trembled slightly, "I want her dead!"

Upon hearing this, Balch gave her another look, and prepared to leave.

Seeing his actions, the woman panicked, rushing forward to embrace him from behind, "Don't go! I know I was wrong, I won't mess with her again, please don't leave, okay?"

Balch stood still, the woman quickly moved in front of him, blocking his way and hugged him again, pleading in a low voice, "I know I was wrong, I really do... I'm just angry at how she's treating you, I feel like it's unfair to you, everything I did was for you..."

As she spoke, she gently kissed Balch, continuing to murmur, "As long as you have nothing to do with her, I won't cause any trouble..."

However, Balch suddenly grabbed her wrist, gently pushing her away.

"Whatever my relationship with her is, it's none of your business."

"Okay, okay..." The woman quickly responded, "I promise you, I won't cause you trouble..."

"Remember what you've said." Balch replied coldly, letting go of her wrist.

The woman was overjoyed. She reached out to hug him, but Balch sidestepped her and walked straight out the door.

The woman stood there, facing the closed door, her body shaking uncontrollably with jealousy and resentment.

When Seraphina woke up, she learned from Sandra that she was in the news again.

There were many witnesses at the scene of the car accident last night taking photos and videos, and the police were called, Seraphina thought, it would be hard to not make the news.

"What happened with the car accident?" Sandra demanded over the phone, "Why do you keep getting into trouble? Is it because of Balch?"

"It's near a bar, there are lots of drunk people, so car accidents are common, I just happened to be there." Seraphina responded casually.

"And what's going on with you and Balch?"

"I'm openly hanging out with him as friends, and I don't care who's watching, what can the public say about it?"

Sandra snorted, "Everyone is practically worshipping you as a goddess now! You're handling these two handsome and prestigious billionaires with ease, even I want to applaud you."

"If you're willing to learn, I can teach you how." Seraphina said, "After all, you're my best friend."
