Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 446

When Seraphina coldly uttered, “Why don’t you just bury me alongside your son, Gloria’s face turned ashen, and then, with a rage that seemed to tear the very air, she lunged at Seraphina once more, screaming, “Shut up! Just shut up!”

Seraphina stood by the bed, as immovable as a mountain, watching Gloria’s advance with a detached gaze, not bothering to dodge.

Instead, she called out to Karan, her voice dripping with irony, “Karan, look, I speak of the sins she once committed, and how she loathes me now… Would you mind fetching a knife so she can finish me off?”

“Seraphina!” Karan shook with anger, “Stop provoking the lady!”

“Everyone must answer for their actions, Seraphina spoke slowly, “She’s sown so much discord, why can’t I speak of it? Now, the misdeeds have come to haunt her own son-it’s her retribution!”

Gloria let out a sharp scream, turned to the bedside, and in a frenzy began hurling everything from the bedside table at Seraphina.

But Seraphina just stood there, unflinching, even smiling as objects pelted her.

Seeing Seraphina’s smile, Gloria, using all her strength to hold herself upright, turned ghastly pale, looking like a specter.

“You really should kill me, you know why?” Seraphina spoke again, “Because your son’s favorite person is me. Now he’s hanging by a thread, about to die. If you kill me, let me join him, that would be the last act of love for him.”

“You’re lying!” Gloria could hardly articulate anything else, only repeating those simple words, “You’re lying!”

“He’s loved me for eight, maybe nine, ten years, Seraphina continued calmly, “Even when you were knocking on the door, he was holding me behind it, did you know? He loved me so much that, fearing I’d be a burden to him, he staged a whole act to push me away from the Reynolds family.

Do you know how he lived after I left? A life full of deceit and darkness, constant betrayal, brushes with death… After all, that, he trusted no one, kept everyone at arm’s length.
