Chapter 75

Seraphina gave a nod, then turned to look at Balch.

Balch furrowed his brow at her, his eyes filled with worry.

“I’m good.” Seraphina said in a forced casual tone, then asked, “What are you doing here?”

“I was talking business with some friends at a bar nearby Balch replied, “I was about to leave when I spotted you standing here.”

Hearing this, Seraphina laughed, “it must be fate then!”

Balch looked at her, “How much have you had to drink?”

“Not much.” Seraphina squinted her eyes, gesturing a tiny bit with her fingers, ‘See, I’m not even tipsy!”

Balch just looked at her. Seraphina met his gaze for a moment, then leaned forward onto his shoulder.

After the car accident, many people took out their phones to take pictures. There was no way for them to avoid being photographed, but no one seemed to care.

The police arrived quickly after the call. They surveyed the scene and took eyewitnesses back to the station for their statements.

Thanks to Balch’s status, everything was handled swiftly. It was only half an hour before Seraphina finished giving her statement.

As Seraphina was walking out, Abbot was coming out of the room next door. Seraphina thanked him again.

Abbot was polite with her before quickly leaving the police station.

Balch then came forward, “Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”

Seraphina gave a nod..
