Chapter 67 Since Conway still needed to do some checks at the nursing home, Seraphina hopped in Bruce’s ride and headed back to the Reynolds family with him. Conway clearly remembered Seraphina’s role in the Reynolds family, so before parting, he repeatedly urged Bruce to take good care of Seraphina. Seraphina looked at him and asked, “Grandpa, are you still worried that I’ll be bullied?” Conway was startled at first, then snapped his fingers, “With your stubborn nature now, nobody dares to bully you!” Seraphina gave a cold laugh, “I’ve been bullied to this extent by you guys the Reynolds family, and yet you still dare to say no one dares to bully me.” Conway couldn’t refute her, so he waved his hand for the driver to start the car. As the car left the nursing home, Bruce chuckled quietly, “You really are different from before.” Seraphina complained, “If I was still like before, I’d be bullied even more!” Hearing this, Bruce reached over and patted her head, “If you ever have any problems in the future, come find me. I’ll help you out.” Seraphina just smiled. Leandro was a loner. He respected his elders, but no one in the Reynolds family could control him. The car drove towards the Reynolds family’s new mansion, as they reached the private road, the car slowed down. The driver whispered, “Mr. Reynolds, there are reporters.” Bruce wasn’t surprised. He turned to Seraphina, “Do you want to have a chat with the reporters?”
Seraphina sighed, “Do I have the right to refuse?” Bruce smiled, and the driver pulled over. As soon as the car stopped, two reporters came up to the window. They were originally planning to interview the Reynolds family members, but they were thrilled to see Seraphina sitting with Bruce. “Mr. Reynolds, Ms. Bennett, could we take a few minutes of your time for an interview?” Seraphina glanced at them lazily, while Bruce calmly said, “Go ahead.”
“Ms. Bennett, was your engagement with Mr. Leandro already decided?” Upon hearing this, Seraphina and Bruce exchanged a glance and laughed. Bruce said, “We don’t have much time, ask something useful, don’t waste our time.” The reporter immediately asked, “Since you’re engaged to Mr. Leandro, what’s your relationship with Mr. Balch?” Seraphina replied, “Mr. Lawson is a good friend of mine. We get along very well, and he has helped me a lot.” “But Mr. Lawson gave you a set of jewelry worth millions, is this the behavior of ordinary friends?” Seraphina rolled her eyes, “That set of jewelry was only purchased in Mr. Lawson’s name, how can you be sure who actually paid for it?” Bruce casually glanced at his watch. Seeing this, the reporter quickly asked, “Two days ago, you went to the police station with a lawyer. May I ask why you went to the police station?” Upon hearing this, Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “Who said going to the police station must be for reporting a crime? I have an old classmate who works there, I went to chat with him and two friends, but you guys misunderstood and blew it out of proportion, really scared me.” The two reporters were a bit surprised by this answer, then quickly turned to Bruce, “Mr. Reynolds, are you satisfied with Ms. Bennett, your future daughter-in-law?” “Seraphina grew up in our Reynolds family, I’ve watched her grow up since she was little, what do you think?” Bruce asked with a smile. The reporters wanted to ask more, but Bruce waved his hand, “That’s enough for today, we have things to do.” The window slowly rolled up, the two reporters were still asking something, but they were shut out. The car continued towards the Reynolds family. Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “Bruce, how did I do?” “You…” Bruce pointed at her, “I’ve figured it out, you did this all on purpose from the beginning!” “No way?” Seraphina laughed, “I did it all for your sake, Bruce. Otherwise, I wouldn’t bother making trouble for myself.” Heanng this, Bruce paused for a moment before asking, “You and Balch…” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“We broke up.” Seraphina answered directly, “After all this, how could I have the nerve to stay with him?” Bruce coughed awkwardly at her answer. They soon arrived at Reynolds Vista Retreat. Compared to the old-fashioned elegant Reynolds Manor, the new mansion was a modern villa, about three times the size of the old house, incredibly luxurious. “It’s beautiful.” Seraphina said Bruce led her into the mansion, said, “It was designed by Leandro himself.” Hearing this, Seraphina scoffed. “That is not so bad.” Bruce chuckled. As the two of them walked in, everyone in the hall who was chatting instantly turned their attention towards them. Seraphina noticed that all the Reynolds siblings had come. Gloria was sitting in the middle, other aunts and uncles also came in pairs. Seeing this, Seraphina felt respected. Everyone’s eyes were on Seraphina, she followed Bruce and greeted everyone with a smile, “Hello Gloria, hello everyone.” She grew up in the Reynolds family, treated like a daughter by Bruce. So, she was referred to by everyone else in the same way as Leandro referred to her. It felt like she was really part of the Reynolds clan. Gloria and a few aunts looked at her as usual, but her younger uncle chuckled, “Is this Seraphina? You’re really grown up. I can hardly recognize you.” Just then, his wife pinched him so hard that he let out a cry of pain. Seraphina was used to this kind of scene. In the past, she might have been embarrassed, but now she just smiled and responded, “Thank you for the compliment. You still look so young. You haven’t changed at all.” Her uncle just chuckled at this, but her aunt glared at Seraphina. However, the usually talkative and sharp-tongued woman surprisingly didn’t criticize Seraphina this time. Gloria’s gaze towards Seraphina was still cold and wary.
Since childhood, Seraphina always thought Gloria to be tense, often arguing with Bruce and frequently sarcastic towards her. However, this time she seemed to have held back and simply said, “Since everyone’s here, let’s start eating.” Seraphina knew exactly why. The stock price of the Reynolds Group had fluctuated dramatically because of her, and everyone here had a stake in it. Facing her, the key player, of course they must be cautious.
