Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 35

Terrell is no dummy, he quickly picked up on the whole story. He eyed Seraphina, his voice chilling, “So that’s the way it is! I really underestimated you, I thought it was all about Leandro_*

Seraphina responded without hesitation, Leandro that was just a fluke”

“And what’s your excuse for putting me through all this?” Terrell asked angrily. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Seraphina looked at him, surprised. “Terrell, I just thought I might’ve dragged you into this, but if you’re going to put all the blame on me, I’m not having it.” Terrell glared at Seraphina for a moment, then turned and walked out to the balcony, lighting up a cigarette.

Seraphina returned to the dining table, checked on Valerio’s meal, then joined Terrell on the balcony after eating something herself.

Terrell’s cigarette was almost burnt out, his stress clearly showing.

Hearing Seraphina’s footsteps, he didn’t turn around, but after a while he asked, “What’s your interest in Balch?”

Seraphina leaned against the balcony door, her voice measured. What other cases involve you and Balch?”

A stiff and tired expression passed over Terrell’s face. He was all too familiar with the case Seraphinà mentioned – the murder of Balch’s wife, Janetta.

“What does this case have to do with you?” he inquired.

1 was hired,” Seraphina replied.

“By whom?”

The girlfriend of Wilbur, the man who was convicted as the murderer.”

Terrell finally turned to face Seraphina directly, “That case was closed two years ago. Wilbur died in prison not long after, didn’t you know?”

“I did.” Seraphina nodded, “but that’s why I agreed to help his girlfriend reopen the investigation.”

“Investigate? Terrell scoffed, “Based on a few words from that woman, how do you investigate? Do you even know what concrete evidence is?”

“I do. But I trust in human nature more. Seraphina’s expression was relaxed, but her eyes were determined, “Wilbur claimed he was innocent until his last breath, and his girlfriend Diana has been fighting for a dead man for six years, despite her serious illness, she never gave up.”

“Serious illness?”

“Stage three stomach cancer.”

Terrell seemed to stiffen at this, then scoffed again, “So you came to me, hoping to get something?”

“All the content of your interview with Mrs. Lawson, published or not, plus all the information on Mrs. Lawson’s murder case.”

Terrell’s eyes were disdainful, “You’re so clever, you should know that stuff isn’t with me anymore.”

Seraphina smiled, “Even if the data’s gone, the memory’s still there, right?”

“Memory?” Terrell sneered, “Can memory be used as evidence?”

Seraphina exhaled softly, speaking slowly, “I’m not a judge, evidence isn’t important to me, all I’m after is the truth.”

“And what do you think the truth is?”

“The truth I want to know is, why Balch targeted you”

“And then?”

“Next, I’ll find a way to validate this truth and make it public.”

Two days later, an unexpected video went viral on the internet, showing a man and woman getting intimate in a bathroom. Once it was posted, it spread like wildfire through shares and retweets.

However, to the disappointment of many, the faces of the individuals in the video were pixelated, making it impossible to identify them.

But to everyone’s surprise, less than a day later, a clear, unedited version of the video was released, causing quite a stir.

Shockingly, it turned out that the man in the video was none other than Leandro!
