Chapter 223
At the dinner party, even though Seraphina didn’t show much of a reaction, Keeley naturally spent the whole night by her side, and they were having a
blast
In the middle of the party, Seraphina took a call and decided to leave early.
Seeing her trying to leave, people came to say goodbye immediately surrounded her
Keeley was blocked outside the crowd, watching Seraphina’s polite smile with interest, his arms folded
Behind him, Mack quietly patted his shoulder
“You two looked pretty cozy tonight, Mack said. “What were you guys chatting about?”
Keeley gave him a side eye. We hit it off, so of course we had stuff to talk about”
Mack also looked at Seraphina in the crowd and said, “She’s quite a looker, but she’s already someone else’s wife”
“And what’s that got to do with anything? Keeley scoffed.
Tm just giving you a heads up. Her husband is Leandro Mack pointed out with his index finger. “He could squash you like a bug”
Keeley laughed it off, his eyes filled with contempt and indifference “Let him try then.”
With that, he brushed off Mack’s hand and turned to leave.
Mack watched his back, dusted off his hand, and squeezed into the crowd to bid Seraphina goodbye.
Once in the car, Seraphina took out her phone and got in touch with Terrell.
As soon as the call connected, Terrell asked, “What’s up?”
Seraphina got straight to the point. “Are you interested in collaborating on another case?”
Is there a fee? Terrell asked.
Seraphina laughed. This time it’s different, I can get you a fat paycheck.”
“Sounds good,” Terrell replied.
“First, I need you to look into someone, Seraphina said “Including his personal information and social connections, the more detailed the better.”
After hanging up, Seraphina sent Keeley’s name and photo to Terrell,
She didn’t give much thought to the kidnapping incident.
Given the circumstances, it was clearly an attack on Leandro, and it was no secret that Leandro had made a lot of enemies over the years, she didn’t care who was against him.
But today, she ran into Keeley, the guy who carried out the kidnapping, at the Jones family’s dinner party. Now that was interesting
What was curious was that the kidnapping didn’t leave any traceable clues, and the “accidents” that Patrick asked her to investigate didn’t leave any
evidence either.
The evidence was all cleaned up nice and neat
How many people could pull that off?
Moreover, Keeley had connections with the Jones family. This guy instantly caught her attention.
While Seraphina was deep in thought, she heard the driver say, “Ma am, a motorcycle has been following us
Seraphina snapped back to reality and looked behind them.
A sleek black motorcycle had been trailing behind them. The rider was dressed in black motorcycle gear, helmet and all, giving off a cool and mysterious
vibe
Seraphina had a hunch, and asked the driver, ‘Do you recognize that motorcycle?”
The driver glanced in the rearview mirror. “I can tell it’s a Ducati, but I don’t know the model. However, it looks like a high-end one, probably worth over a hundred grand”
Seraphina raised an eyebrow.
A motorcycle worth over a hundred grand? Its owner must be loaded!
“Never mind him, Seraphina said. “Just drive normally. Stop at the entrance when we get home.”
The driver acknowledged and continued to drive smoothly until they reached the Reynolds Manor, where he pulled over.
Sure enough, the motorcycle followed and stopped steadily behind them.
Seraphina got out of the car, and the rider took off his helmet, placed it in front of him, and smiled at her.
It was Keeley, Indeed.
Seraphina approached him and took a closer look at his motorcycle. “You disappeared without a word earlier.”
Keeley just smiled at her, his eyes twinkling with curiosity. “Yeah, so I came to say goodbye now… I also gave you a lift home, right?”
Seraphina chuckled, glanced at the quiet Reynolds Manor, and asked, “Are you really afraid of nothing?”
When it comes to things I’m interested in, I’m fearless, Keeley replied.
“Well, I’m home now, and you’ve said goodbye. You can leave now, right?” Seraphina said.
Keeley looked at her and said, “This is a public place, I can stay as long as I want. Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? Is there something, or someone, you’re afraid of?”
Just as he finished speaking, a sleek black Maybach suddenly appeared on the quiet street. The bright headlights made it impossible to miss.
Seraphina laughed. “I’m not scared. Let’s see if you are.”
Keeley followed her gaze and squinted at the approaching lights until the car pulled up alongside them.
The window slowly rolled down, and Leandro was sitting in the back seat, he glanced at Keeley indifferently, then turned to Seraphina
He hadn’t seen her dressed up like this in a long time. Was a medium-sized company’s annual meeting worth the effort?
After these thoughts, he looked at Keeley again, his gaze deep and icy.
Seraphina walked past Keeley and came to his car, extending her hand with a smile, “You’re back?”
The driver opened the door for Leandro, and he got out of the car, taking Seraphina’s hand in his,
“Let me introduce you. This is Keeley, a… friend, Seraphina said. “Keeley, this is my husband, Leandro
Hearing her introduce his identity, Keeley couldn’t help but chuckle under his breath before hopping off his motorcycle to shake hands with Leandro. “Hello, Mr. Reynolds. I’ve been hearing about you”
Leandro extended his hand, giving Keeley a frosty handshake before releasing it. His gaze was fixed on Seraphina. “What friend?”
As he posed the question, Keeley just looked at Seraphina, awaiting her response.
“Uhh…” Seraphina shot Keeley a glance and chuckled softly. “He said I used to know him, and we just happened to run into each other today.”
Hearing this, Keeley couldn’t help but laugh again, raising an eyebrow at Seraphina.
Seraphina kept her cool, just looking at Leandro.
Leandro’s expression was indifferent, seemingly oblivious to the exchange of glances between the two. He said, “It’s getting late, let’s head home”
Seraphina nodded, then waved at Keeley Tm off then, see you.”
Keeley waved back at her, then turned to Leandro, “Mr. Reynolds, see you”
Leandro just nodded slightly, taking Seraphina’s hand and headed straight for the entrance.
