Tangled in His Obsession - Season 2 Episode 42

Sandra was blowing up Seraphina’s phone with a ton of messages, most of them about a news story. The person in the spotlight was none other than Magdalen. Seraphina quickly skimmed through the news, completely absorbed Seeing her engrossed in her phone. the guy asked. “Everything okay?” “Yeah, it’s all good” Seraphina snapped back to reality, pocketing her phone and looking at him, “We’re out of booze, anything else you want?” The guy’s gaze landed on her face, slowly saying, “We’re in a bar, darling Liquor doesn’t run out that easily” Looks like he’s up for more than a few drinks. Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle. She’d been in this bar for two months. His eyes had been hovering over her for two whole months, but it was only today that he made a move. The man sure knows how to play it cool. And her waiting till today was no small feat either. “Wait up”With that, Seraphina turned around and picked out several different bottles of liquor from the bar, setting them in front of the guy These are some of my favorites, Seraphina said, “You seem to only drink tequila, how about trying something new today?” “Sure.” Seraphina then popped open the bottles, filled the glasses on the small table, and motioned for the guy to help himself. She lifted glass after glass, and the guy across didn’t hesitate, matching her drink for drink. After the first round, Seraphina poured a second. Suddenly, the guy called her out.

Snapping back to reality. Seraphina noticed she’d overfilled a glass, spilling liquor all over the table. She quickly put down the bottle and let out a sigh. After a moment, she gave the guy a small smile, ‘Sorry, something came up, I gotta go.”

With that, she immediately stood up and yelled to the bar owner, “Jason, I’m clocking out!” As she spoke, she removed her accessories, grabbed her bag from the locker, ignored the questions from the people around her, and dashed out of the bar. On the way to the airport, Seraphina reopened Sandra’s messages and read the news about Magdalen in detail. The old Seraphina would never have imagined seeing Magdalen’s name in legal news. But now, the reality was right in front of her-Magdalen was embroiled in a contract scam, facing prosecution. Sandra was utterly confused, “What’s the deal? Isn’t your mom loaded? How’d she get involved in a scam?” Seraphina quickly texted back, “I’ll find out what’s happening and let you know! That night, Seraphina took a flight to Moonhaven. Without much effort, Seraphina found Magdalen. Party animals like her always choose the top-tier hotels. But this time, when Seraphina knocked on her door, it was opened by a well-dressed, gentlemanly man in his forties. “Can I help you?” The man asked. I’m looking for Magdalen, Seraphina responded without hesitation, “I’m her daughter” The man seemed taken aback, seemingly because he’d never heard Magdalen mention having a daughter. He told Seraphina to “wait a moment” and went back inside to find Magdalen In less than a minute, the man was back at the door, “Sorry, she doesn’t want to see you.” Seraphina brushed him off, pushed the door open, and walked in, ignoring his attempts to stop her. She made her way to the bedroom door, where she saw Magdalen lying on the bed. Despite the huge press she was in, Magdalen looked as glamorous as ever, just a bit more exhausted, which only added to her charm. Upon seeing Seraphina, her face froze, “I told you I didn’t want to see you!” “Well, you’re about to be thrown in jail, I figured I should come see you” Seraphina said. “Right, I’m about to go to jail” Magdalen said, “I won’t have to see you anymore, and you won’t have to

see me. We can live our own lives. Isn’t that great?” Seraphina held her gaze for a moment, nodded, and turned around to leave But, she didn’t leave. Instead, she sat down on the living room couch, looking at the man in the room, “Can you tell me what happened?” The man carefully closed the bedroom door for Magdalen, then walked over to Seraphina and handed her a business card, Im a friend of your mother’s, and also a lawyer Seraphina took the card and saw that his name was Latham “Your mom was conned Latham said, “Most of her assets have been swindled away” Upon hearing this, Seraphina let out a small laugh, then slowly nodded, “That does sound like something she’d do. She was conned by a man, right?” Latham nodded, “It was your mother’s ex-boyfriend. He not only swindled most of your mother’s assets but also had her set up a company to commit contract fraud. Every contract has your mother’s signature, and the guy’s now on the run. So, things are pretty bad.” After hearing this, Seraphina remained silent for a long while. Even though Magdalen was a hedonist, living a wildly pleasurable life every day, she couldn’t possibly be this foolish. She might not care about those assets. It’s possible she’d willingly give them away. But being duped into signing her name and getting slapped with a contract fraud charge, that doesn’t sound like her. But she did do it. “1 really want to know what that guy looks like.” Seraphina said, “What kind of man is he? To make her fall head over heels?” Latham coughed lightly, not responding Seraphina sat silently for a while, then said, “Since you’re a lawyer, you should have the case files, right? Give me a copy” “I can let you look at some related documents After saying this, Latham got up and went into the bedroom. Seraphina sat on the couch, watching his retreating back, and couldn’t help but laugh again.

Magdalen is so amazing. No matter how low she falls, there’s always a man willing to run around for her, to do her bidding. Latham quickly came back out with a stack of documents and handed them to Seraphina. Seraphina took them and barely opened the first page when she saw a familiar name the Reynolds Group. She repeated the name, then looked at him. “the Reynolds Group? The Reynolds Group from Sunburst City?” E Latham nodded. “Yes, your mom mainly signed contracts with the Starhaven branch of the Reynolds Group. They were the biggest victims and the ones who filed the complaint.” After a brief silence, Seraphina laughed and handed the documents back to Latham, “So what if the Reynolds Group decided to drop the charges?” “Is that even possible?” Latham said, “Unless your mom’s contracts can all be enforced. But we can’t do that, and the Reynolds Group wouldn’t admit the contracts are valid.” Seraphina kept her smile. Is it really impossible? Leandro has already clearly laid out the problem for her. Everything is waiting for her to solve. If she solves the problem, that’s it, right?
