Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 86

Herman had given the whole house a once–over, but couldn’t find any useful leads

He paused hesitantly in front of the last closed door on the second floor.

It was a room that even Seraphina hadn’t been in She looked relaxed, leaning against the hallway wall, smiling at Herman, Mr Herman, the incident happened downstairs Fidelia never came upstairs, so this room is definitely unrelated”

Hearing this, Herman turned to look at Seraphina, Ms Bennett, would you mind if we took a peek?

Seraphina shrugged. Td like to as well, but I can’t open the door.”

“Ms Bennett, since you live here, aren’t you curious about this locked room?”

“Even if I’m curious, there’s nothing I can do. After all, it’s not my house” Seraphina laughed and added, “But it’s not hard to guess what’s in there, considering the previous lady of the house is deceased‘

Hearing this, Herman lingered his gaze on her face, “Ms. Bennett, what do you know about the late Mrs. Lawson?”

“I returned home only in April, what do you think I could know?” Seraphina retorted

“In such a short time, Ms. Bennett, your relationship with Mr. Lawson has become quite intimate, how impressive” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Not really” Seraphina said I know I am irresistible

Hearing this, Herman gave her a deep look.

Seraphina considered for a moment, then asked. “Mr. Herman, the case seems pretty clear cut. What are you still doubtful about?

Herman stood tall, his gaze fixed on Seraphina. Im just a bit puzzled, why did Fidelia choose to fight you with a knife for so long when she had a gun?”

At this, Seraphina furrowed her brows in thought, “That is indeed a question… Unfortunately, you shot Fidelia dead, so we may never know some answers we should have known.”

Hearing Seraphina’s words, Herman’s gaze darkened, lingering on her for a long time.

“Did I say something wrong? Seraphina smiled and asked

After a while. Herman finally spoke. “No, you’re absolutely right.”

Afterwards, he called over a young officer, and upon learning nothing was found, he quickly left the house.

Seraphina escorted them out, and after closing the door, she went upstairs again.

She opened Janetta’s study, which she had tidied up. It looked clean and tidy. Herman hadn’t found anything here earlier.

Seraphina walked in, sat in the chair behind the desk, leaned back and thought.

Janetta used to work in this room often. Now, her picture was still on the desk, looking at Seraphina.

Seraphina looked at her picture for a moment, and when she looked away, her gaze fell on a painting hanging on the opposite wall.

Seraphina stared at the painting for a long time, and then suddenly started laughing.

In the evening. Seraphina visited the hospital again.

Balch’s room was quiet. He was lying on his side on the bed, reading something on his tablet

When Seraphina entered, his gaze immediately fell on her

Maybe because he was lying down, he wasn’t weaning glasses Without his lenses, his eyes seemed even colder, watching her quietly

Seraphina walked over to the bed, and after a moment, took out a stack of documents from her bag and dropped them on Balch’s bed.

The papers scattered everywhere

But Balch didn’t care about the documents, he reached out and grabbed her arm,

Seraphina was cold. The police haven’t seen these, are you relieved?”

Batch didn’t answer

“Sera

Seraphina continued, “But I’ve seen them, I’ve read everything, what do you plan to do with me?”

Balch just held her hand, “Will you blame me?”

“Shouldn’t I?” Seraphina looked at him, “You’re so cruel, so sneaky…

Hearing this, Balch slowly let go of her hand

“You’ve made me just like you, so that you can control me! You did it so I wouldn’t expose you!”

Hearing this, Balch’s hand tightened around hers again.

Seraphina was so angry her eyes were red, staring at him

But Balch started to smile slowly pulled her towards him. Seraphina was stiff but she sat down on the edge of the bed.

“Batch, you’re a devil” Seraphina said. “The mistakes you’ve made are even worse than Peterson Miller’s, but you’re forcing me to forgive your

Balch brought her hand to his mouth, “That’s because love you more than he does”

Seraphina just stared at him, “Do you think I would believe that?”

Balch didn’t answer, instead he suddenly gasped, making a pained expression

Seraphina was startled, quickly checking his back, “Is your wound hurting again?”

But Balch took the opportunity to hold her, laughing softly “Tim fine, seeing you, all my pain has disappeared…”

Seraphina twisted him hard, “Balch, I’m giving you a chance this time, if you make the same mistake again, even if you die in front of me, I won’t forgive you!”

“Mhm Balch replied heavily

“Get your act together, heal your wounds and sort out the mess,” Seraphina said “I don’t want to hear of recall this incident ever again! I’ve packed my bags already and I’m moving back to my own place. I’m done with Urban Oasis and Rosewood Estates. I’m not living there anymore!

With that, she gave Balch a hard pinch.

*Alright, no more living there,” Balch just held her ‘We’ll move. Wherever you want to go, how you want to decorate it, it’s all up to you”

After a while, Seraphina finally calmed down a bit. She looked up at him “You’re probably going to sweet talk me now. But I want to ask you, if I don’t forgive you, even hand these documents over to the police, what’s your plan?”

“If you don’t forgive me, then so be it. I’ll take the hit, go to jail, whatever,” Balch said. “Anyway nothing much to lose now”

Seraphina snorted, “I don’t enjoy your sweet nothings.”

“You know I never sugar–coat things,” Balch responded.

Seraphina stayed silent for a moment, then leaned into him again, whispering. “Balch, I’m giving you this one chance, the only one. If you fail me again, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Holding her, Balch simply replied, “Okay”
