Chapter 225
Leandro was standing at the foot of the bed, getting stepped on by her, but he remained steady, grabbing her ankle in an instant
Seraphina wasn’t scared at all, stretching her foot right to his waist.
While answering a phone call, Leandro glanced at her pretty foot.
She was trying her hardest to undo his belt with her toes.
Just when she was about to succeed, Leandro suddenly let go of her foot and turned to answer the phone seriously.
Seraphina fell back onto the bed, laughing out loud.
She thought she could relax for a bit, but to her surprise, Leandro ended the call in two minutes, walked into the room, and closed the door. Seraphina, leaning against the head of the bed, looked at him, somewhat surprised, “You finished your call already?”
Leandro put down his phone, looked at her and said, “You can’t wait, can you?”
Saying that, Leandro stretched out his hand and placed hers on his belt
Seraphina laughed and then slowly stood up, unfastening his belt while saying, “What’s the rush? There’s plenty of time, just not sure how long you can last?”
She teased him over and over, and Leandro once again held her waist tightly, pushing her back onto the bed.
As it turned out, even though she had already told Leandro about Keeley’s true identity, and he had kissed her, he still felt uneasy, making the night seem incredibly long, as if it never ended.
And that man seemed to have endless energy, all spent on her!
By the end, Seraphina was too exhausted to speak and simply fell asleep.
Leandro let her rest her head on his arm. Only when Seraphina’s breathing became steady did he turn to look at her, not taking his eyes off her.
When would she recover her lost heart?
That night, Leandro did not return to his room or fall asleep.
Just as dawn broke, Seraphina suddenly found herself immersed in water.
She woke up with a start to find Leandro had put her in a tub full of hot water.
“You scared the hell out of me! Seraphina clutched her chest, “I just had a nightmare about drowning! Leandro, are you trying to kill me?”
Leandro sat by the tub, looking at her, “If that was my intention, I wouldnt have waited until now.”
What he meant was, if he wanted to, he could have done it in bed last night
Seraphina found a comfortable position in the tub, then looked at him and said, “I’ve been too busy lately, too tired, that’s why you seem so energetic. Give it a few more years, and see who’s the one lacking the energy!”
Leandro didn’t have the energy to argue with her, he stood up and said, “Herman is almost here, you relax a bit longer, come out when you’re comfortable.” “What’s he coming here for? Seraphina pouted, “Other than knowing Keeley is connected to the kidnapping, I have no other information for him.”
Leandro didn’t turn around, just said, “Maybe you’ll remember something else.”
Seraphina felt like his words held some deeper meaning, but Leandro couldn’t possibly know about the specific case she was investigating, could he?
By the time she finished bathing, got dressed and went downstairs, Herman had arrived and was chatting with Leandro on the couch.
Seraphina walked up, sat next to Leandro, leaned into him without any hesitation, then smiled at Herman, “Hey*-
Leandro’s arm was resting on the back of the couch, Seraphina naturally leaned in, he just glanced at her, leaving her be.
Faced with such openly affectionate behavior, Herman felt a bit awkward, hesitated for a moment before asking directly, “How did you determine that Keeley is the kidnapper?”
“He told me himself Seraphina smiled faintly, appearing casual.
Herman’s face changed slightly, “He told you directly? Could that really happen?”
“Why not?” Seraphina looked at him with sincere eyes, “Trust is needed between people. I was sincere to him, so naturally, he wouldn’t want to lie to me.”
Herman was about to say something, but then he remembered Balch Lawson from before-
He had witnessed this woman’s allure to men.
Moreover-Herman glanced at the still cold Leandro-there was a living example right in front of him.
“He dares to reveal his identity because he’s confident he left no evidence, and your word alone won’t convict him.” Herman said.
“Whether there’s evidence or not, you’ll have to investigate.” Seraphina said, “Anyway, I’ve already told you everything | know
-After saying that, she glanced at Leandro, giving him a flirtatious smile.
Leandro met her gaze, still looking indifferent.
Sol Seraphina leaned into him again, looking as if they were glued together.
Herman averted his gaze, cleared his throat, “Are you sure you’ve told everything?”

“What else?” Seraphina countered.
“Then can you tell me, when investigating what case did you encounter him?”
Seraphina shrugged, “I just happened to run into him, recognized his voice, does it matter what case I was investigating?”
Herman frowned slightly after hearing this, “If you ran into him elsewhere, I’ve got nothing to say, but you met him at the Jones family’s party…
“He’s Mack Jones’ cousin. It’s perfectly normal for him to be at the party, right?” Seraphina said.
Herman just looked at her, “What about you? Why were you at that party?”
Seraphina paused for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Leandro and laughed, “I was bored, just wanted to have some fun!”
Herman didn’t give her a second glance, instead he turned to Leandro, “Leandro, you remember the three accidents that happened one after the other within the Jones Group, right?”
At the mention of this, a sense of unease began to creep up on Seraphina.
Why would a small fry like the Jones Group pique Leandro’s interest?
She looked over at Leandro as if seeking confirmation, just to find him already looking back at her.
Under her gaze, Leandro nodded slowly.
He really did know!
Seraphina bit her lip involuntarily. Clearly, Leandro had guessed what case she was working on since last night.
Was this why he was angry last night?
“We have previously analyzed that these three cases are likely to be man-made, but without concrete evidence, we weren’t able to officially investigate,” Herman looked at Seraphina. “I didn’t expect you to be on the case too.”
“Hold on.” Seraphina suddenly sat up straight from Leandro’s embrace. “Why would you guys pay attention to a small potato like the Jones Group?” Herman and Leandro shared a knowing look before Herman finally said, “Because the Martin family is behind the Jones Group.”
