Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 488

Eight years ago, when the Reynolds Group was teetering on the brink of collapse, it was Leandro who single-handedly rallied the troops and, over the course of a few years, turned the company into the crown jewel of Sunburst City. His influence on the Reynolds Group was indisputable.

Despite his monumental contribution to the company's growth, Leandro's forceful methods and long-standing monopoly on power had sown seeds of discontent within the ranks.

Now, with Gloria's scandal as a pretext, combined with Leandro's recent injury, the management had finally slipped from his grasp. Nobody was keen to see him make a comeback.

Yet, everyone knew that if Leandro truly decided to return, there would likely be no stopping him. The reason was straightforward: to this day, the biggest shareholder, Conway, favored Leandro as his successor.

In fact, with just a word from Conway, Leandro could be reinstated to the boardroom, resuming his former role without question. Facing such a looming threat, it was only natural for the rest to be on edge. But Leandro seemed unbothered by the turmoil, leaving his peers puzzled about his stance.

Without paying heed to the others, Leandro made his way upstairs.

Upstairs, Seraphina was watching over Conway as he took his medication. At the sight of Leandro entering the room, she couldn't help but arch an eyebrow in surprise, "Back so soon?"

Leandro responded with a muted acknowledgment before turning to Conway, "Luke and Norman bothering you again, grandpa?"

"It'd be easy to get rid of them," Conway replied with a glance, "the moment you step back into the Reynolds Group, they'll scatter." Leandro considered this but instead looked over at Seraphina.

"Why are you looking at me?" she shot back defensively, "I'm not stopping you from going back."

"Really?" Leandro mused, "Who was it that said, if she doesn't want me to go back, then I can't go?"
