Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 88



Chapter 88

The living room was right downstairs, which was also where Janetta was killed years ago.

“If Balch had installed surveillance cameras around, we would definitely have caught Janetta’s murder on tapel Seraphina asked, looking expectantly at Terrell

“No clues so far, Terrell replied “The surveillance footage only shows ordinary daily life”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina continued to scrutinize the surveillance video

Indeed, the footage showed nothing but Janetta’s day to day activities at home. No suspicious activities were captured

“The footage has been edited” Terrell said. “Otherwise, there wouldn’t be only footage of Janetta Balch also lived in this house, we would have seen him on camera”

Seraphina’s eyes drifted toward a seriously damaged chip

Terrell noticed her gaze and said, “Don’t bother. This chip is so badly burnt, it’s beyond repair”

Seraphina picked up the chip and examined it. “What are the odds it’s this chip?”

Terrell sighed stood up, and went into the bathroom to freshen up, leaving Seraphina alone in front of the computer, silently watching the footage play out.

The surveillance tapes were indeed edited. In every clip, Janetta was on the phone. Sometimes she was all smiles, while other times she looked indifferent.

Seraphina quickly skimmed through all of the footage but failed to find what she was looking for.

She slowly closed her eyes, pressing her forehead. Could it be that after all this, she was still going to fail?

“Forget it, maybe it’s just fate,” Terrell said “There’s no way to prove his involvement in Janetta’s murder. Balch is cunning You’ve done well so far, but maybe it’s time to let it go.”

Before he could finish his sentence, Seraphina’s eyes snapped open. She quickly grabbed the laptop and began reanalyzing the chips

Terrell, watching from the sidelines, quickly realized what she was doing and rushed to help

They had only focused on the surveillance videos on the chips, but what if there was hidden content?

“Got it” Terrell suddenly shouted

Seraphina immediately turned to his computer

On the screen was a new surveillance video. In the footage, Janetta was flipping through a booklet in the living room while preparing to make a call. Behind her, a fully armed figure in black was slowly approaching!

The surveillance footage was silent, which only made the scene more horrifying.

The figure in black repeatedly stabbed Janetta, who initially struggled but gradually lost strength. She collapsed onto the sofa, her eyes wide open and blood pooling around

her

After confirming her death, the killer dropped the knife and stood quietly

The footage ended there.

“That’s not Balch Terrell said.

“It’s Fidelia Seraphina replied.

“So, Balch may not have been involved in the murder. He only helped Fidelia cover it up afterwards,” Terrell said.

Hearing this, Seraphina burst out laughing.

“What?” Terrell looked at her

“You must not have not investigated a case seriously for a long time. That’s why you’re so naive,” Seraphina said

Just then, her phone rang. She expected it to be Balch, but it turned out to be the property management of her apartment

“Ms. Bennett, there’s a child here, about five or six years old. He wouldn’t say a word, he just wrote down your phone number. Do you know him?”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina covered her head. Of all times, why did Valerio have to show up now?

She thought for a moment and replied, “Could you look after him for a bit? I’ll send someone to pick him up”

Before she could finish, a thought flashed through her mind. She immediately stood up and said, “I’ll be right there to pick him up, thank you”

“Where are you going? Terrell asked

“I have something to do, you continue your investigation and let me know if you find anything.” Seraphina said, heading for the door

She went straight to her apartment complex and saw Valerio sitting in the property management office.

“What are you doing here by yourself again? Seraphina asked, not sure whether to be angry or worried “Did you forget how your dad scolded you last time?”

Valeno didn’t respond, he just stared at her.

Then Seraphina remembered that she had promised to help him find his mother.

“I forgot about that, what do I do?” She covered her mouth dramatically, then said, “No worries, I’ll go ask your dad right now!”

She took Valero’s hand, and they headed straight for the Reynolds Group

By the time they arrived, it was nearly closing time, but the atmosphere was still bustling

She announced her name at the reception and asked for Keen

The receptionist called the CEO’s office, and before long. Keen hurried down

Keen was already overwhelmed, and seeing Seraphina only added to his stress, but he managed a strained smile. “Ms. Bennett, what can I do for you?”

“I need to see Leandro about this little guy” Seraphina said, pointing to Valeno

‘Mr Reynolds has a big meeting coming up, he really can’t spare a moment, Keen said. “Is Valerio bothering you again? Just hand him off to me, I’ll take him upstairs.” Seraphyna brushed his hand away and said, “No way. I have to see Leandro Otherwise, I’ll start screaming and attract the press, don’t blame me then.”

Hearing this Keen could only grit his teeth and lead her and Valerio upstairs.

Upon reaching the 26th floor, Keen picked up Valerio, whispering, “Your dad is busy now, don’t bother him, let her stir the pot.”

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh at his words.

Leandro was seemingly up to his ears in work!

She ignored Valerio and walked straight to Leandro’s office door, knocked lightly twice, didn’t wait for a response, and barged in

Keen stood not far away, holding Valerio, shuddering.

This woman–either she’s oblivious to danger or she’s just incredibly lucky?

It was Seraphina’s first time in Leandro’s office. What she saw was an extremely luxurious office that unapologetically displayed the owner’s status yet was filled with a cold and serious atmosphere

And Leandro was nowhere to be seen.

As she was thinking the door to the side room opened, and Leandro, clad in a dark blue suit, walked out. He paused upon seeing her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

The smooth floor mirrored his tall and upright figure, and the dark blue suit perfectly matched Leandro’s aloof charm. At that moment, Seraphina thought this man, dressed to the nines, was such a feast for the eyes, enough to cover up some of his true nature.
