Chapter 377
At the police station, Seraphina got out of the car on her own, while Tania was taken out by the cops.
But when Tania saw Seraphina, she totally lost her cool, trying to charge at Seraphina, but was stopped by the cops again.
“Seraphina! You bitch!” Tania yelled furiously. “I’m gonna kill you! I’m gonna kill you!”
This outburst left everyone around dumbstruck.
It’s a police station full of cops and here’s someone openly shouting murder threats – pretty shocking stuff.
If Tania wasn’t such a petite girl, she’d probably have been manhandled on the spot.
As for Seraphina, she just chuckled at Tania’s rant, and headed for the station’s office.
Just as she got to the door, she ran into Herman. He’d heard the commotion and was out there enjoying the show.
He’d probably been watching for a while. Seeing Seraphina, he sighed, “More trouble?”
“This case is none of your business.” Seraphina replied, “So don’t worry about it.” Herman had been working all day, so tired he could barely lift his arms. He really didn’t want to get involved, but Seraphina was Leandro’s wife, how could he not?
Even though Seraphina ignored him, he followed her into another office.
Tania was taken to the interrogation room, while Seraphina gave her statement in the office area.
She didn’t exaggerate anything, just told it like it was. Since everyone had heard Tania’s tirade at the entrance, Seraphina’s statement went smoothly and
was soon over.
At last, Herman found a chance to ask in a low voice, “How did you get on her bad side?”
“What do you think?” Seraphina shot back. “Her boyfriend cheated on her. She’s pissed, and she took it out on me.”
To Seraphina, this was totally undeserved. Hearing this, Herman couldn’t help but say, “I always tell you to keep a low profile, to not be so flashy, so you don’t attract trouble.”
Seraphina gave him a glare, “Do you want me to record this and post it on Twitter? You’ll be criticized by everyone tomorrow.”
Herman just snorted disdainfully, then asked, “You just got back from Starhaven? Where’s Leandro? Didn’t he come to pick you up?”
Seraphina didn’t want to answer him. Herman then stood up, “I’ll give him a call.”
“Don’t bother him.” Seraphina grabbed his arm.
Herman immediately sensed something was up. “What happened? You two… had a fight?”
“I told you, it’s none of your business,” Seraphina snapped. “You’re so annoying.”
But Herman didn’t mind. He was patient and kept asking.
Just then, people from the Martin family arrived.
Lionel Martin, who was in charge of the legal affairs of the Martin Group, and Tania’s father Teague, both showed up. Seeing Seraphina, they walked seriously into an office.
Seraphina and Herman exchanged a look, both aware of the intricate relationships involved.
Seraphina turned to Herman, suddenly asking, “In these powerful and influential families, if someone gets into trouble, can they easily get out of it?”
Herman glared at her, “What are you talking about? The law doesn’t favor anyone, you know?”
“Stop pretending.” Seraphina gave him a glance, “You can spout this high-sounding principle now, but if someone from the Reynolds family or the Garcia family broke the law, would you still say this?”
Herman frowned, then said, “It wouldn’t make any difference.”
Seraphina was speechless for a moment and did not ask further.
Herman was considering whether to call Leandro when Andrea walked in.
Seeing Seraphina sitting there, Andrea quickly walked over, “Sera, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, Seraphina reached out and took her hand, then asked, “What brought you here?”
Andrea paused for a moment, didn’t answer this question, just said, “Glad you’re okay.”

Herman coldly watched their hands held together, sarcastically said, “Ms. Martin, your cousin is in the interrogation room giving her statement, shouldn’t you worry about her first? Instead, you’re more concerned about Seraphina. Your dedication is really touching.”
Herman’s words were clearly sarcastic. Andrea heard it clearly but didn’t respond.
Seraphina, however, reached out and gave him a hard twist, “Can you take a hike?”
Herman glanced at them, stood up and walked away, preparing to call Leandro.
Just before he left, he looked back and saw Andrea sitting next to Seraphina. They were talking in low voices, looking very close.
Herman frowned and walked out with his phone.
“Who sent you?” Seraphina asked Andrea in a low voice.
Andrea was silent for a moment before she said, “Dad told me… you got into trouble.”
wearing this, Seraphina chuckled, “He wanted you to plead for mercy, didn’t he?”
Tania’s issue would affect the entire Martin family. Even if not directly, Tania was still his niece. Simon Martin sent Andrea over, hoping that Seraphina would spare Tania because of Andrea’s relationship with her.
“I know,” Andrea whispered, “But I had to come.”
Seraphina continued, “You also know that I won’t let her off just because of you.”
Andrea paused before saying, “She was wrong, and she deserves a lesson.”
After hearing this, Seraphina suddenly leaned on Andrea’s shoulder and said after a moment of silence, “If only everyone thought like us.”
As soon as the words fell, a pair of black leather shoes slowly walked into Seraphina’s line of sight.
Without lifting her head, she knew who was coming.
For a split second, Seraphina’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat, but quickly returned to calm.
Andrea glanced at the figure, then said to Seraphina, “I’m gonna make a call.”
With that, she gently pushed Seraphina’s head off her shoulder and got up to leave.
Only then did Seraphina lift her head to look at the man standing in front of her.
Leandro, who hadn’t gone to the office today, had rushed over from the Reynolds family. Dressed in black trousers and a white shirt, his broad shoulders and narrow waist gave him an upright posture, looking cold and distant.
Although they often met in front of the camera, it seemed that it had been a while since they had this kind of face-to-face contact.
Suddenly, Seraphina felt a bit uneasy.
Leandro sat next to her and reached out to hold her hand.
“Are you hurt?” Leandro asked softly.
Seraphina shook her head, then promptly said, “But I wrecked your car, I’m really sorry.”
Leandro turned his head, quietly looking at her for a moment, then reached out to pull her into his arms, and then gently kissed her hair.
“As long as you’re okay” Leandro said lightly.
