‘Ferne”
Before Seraphina could respond to Ferne’s words, Leandro had already spoken again. He merely called out her name, but there was such an icy chill in his voice that it seemed to come from the bottomless depths of a dark abyss, making it impossible for anyone to look directly into his eyes.
Although Leandro was generally mild in his interactions with his family, his aura was intimidating to others, especially to employees of the Reynolds Group like Ferne Having experienced his temper firsthand, she knew he was genuinely furious this time.
What am I doing all this for?” Ferne abruptly stood up and said, “I’m doing this for you, and you’re protecting her? Leandro, how could you let her blind you like this?”
Leandro looked at her, his face calm despite his anger. He gave a slow nod and said, “Alright, suppose I’m blinded. What are you going to do about it?”
Ferne was taken aback by Leandro’s words. She struggled to find a response, then suddenly stood up and said, “Then I’ll expose her true colors to wake you up!”
As soon as she finished speaking. Ferne walked over to Seraphina and said, “Didn’t you say the child was Leandro’s? Where’s the proof? Show me the proof, and I’ll believe you! I’ll stop investigating your friends!”
“Walt!” Leandro suddenly shouted.
Walt, who had been in charge of Leandro’s security, immediately entered from the main entrance, “Mr. Reynolds.”
*Please escort Ms. Reynolds out,” Leandro said with a stern face. “From now on, she is not permitted to step foot in Reynolds Manor!”
