Chapter 34
Seeing the situation, Seraphina first looked back at Valerio, made a comforting gesture, then turned to the passenger, “Well, look who we have here, Mr. Terrell!”
Terrell lowered his seat, hiding himself completely, making sure no one from the outside could see him.
Seeing him like this, Seraphina looked out the window to find two men looking at the traffic, searching for something.
Seraphina chuckled involuntarily, “Mr. Terrell, who are you hiding from?”
Terrell didn’t answer, staring nervously out the window for a while, making sure no one was tailing him, then said, “Please take me to this hotel. Here’s the address, showing her his phone. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Mr. Terrell, you think this is a taxi?” Seraphina asked lightly.
Terrell looked at her and slowly said, “Aren’t you interested in that video of Leandro? Drive me there and it’s yours.”
Hearing this, Seraphina’s lips curved slightly.
If he was willing to give her such an important video, it must be a big deal.
Forty minutes later, Seraphina parked in front of a very run–down hotel.
Terrell immediately got out and went into the hotel. Seraphina was not in a hurry, she just turned to Valerio and reassured him, “No matter what you see or hear, don’t be scared.”
Valerio calmly looked at her and nodded.
About ten minutes later, Terrell reappeared at the hotel entrance, this time leading a woman with a mask on, and carrying a luggage bag.
“Why are you still here?” Seeing Seraphina, Terrell frowned, then remembered his promise, You don’t need to follow me anymore, I’ll send you the video.”
Seraphina, leaning on the car window, watching Terrell preparing to leave, slowly started to smile, “Need a new place to stay? Why not let me help? I can guarantee safety and privacy, and it’s much more comfortable than this dump.”
Terrell was stunned, while the woman next to him clung to his arm and said nothing.
“Your wife doesn’t look well.” Seraphina said, “A comfortable environment should be important to her.”
Terrell looked at Seraphina coldly, “Why should I trust you?”
“If you had someone else you could trust, you wouldn’t have gotten in my car, right?” Seraphina glanced at the street, “It’s rush hour now, you might have to wait a long time for a cab. Can your wife… still stand?”
Terrell looked at the woman next to him and after a moment of hesitation, decided to let his wife get in Seraphina’s car.

Seraphina called Sandra to borrow a house, and Sandra generously offered her to choose from several vacant properties. While marvelling at Sandra’s generosity, Seraphina picked the one closest to downtown.
Hearing Seraphina’s choice, Terrell held his wife’s hand a bit tighter.
A bustling area meant they were more likely to be found, but also easier to protect themselves.
Terrell looked at Seraphina from the back seat, realizing that he may have underestimated her from the beginning.
Within an hour, Terrell and his wife moved into a luxury apartment in the city center.
While Terrell was taking care of his wife in the bedroom, Seraphina ordered dinner for Valerio.
As Seraphina was eating with Valerio, Terrell came out of the bedroom. He glanced at Seraphina and she immediately put down her utensils and walked
over.
Terrell leaned against the wall, arms crossed, looking at Seraphina, “Tell me, why are you helping me?”
“I don’t want to admit it, but…” Seraphina shrugged, “I think I might have gotten you into this mess!
Terrell chuckled, “You meap Leandro?”
“How could that be?” Seraphina sighed, “A man like Mr. Reynolds, no matter how ruthless, wouldn’t go after you like this just because of a video, right?”
Hearing this, Terrell stared at Seraphina for a while, then suddenly his face changed.
