Tangled in His Obsession

Chatper 297

When he said this, Keeley’s face was expressionless, with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. He seemed like the old carefree and confident him, full of vitality.

Seraphina looked at him and chuckled lightly, “Why are you lying to yourself like this?”

Keeley’s eyes flickered slightly, “What did you say?”

“You did use Herman,” Seraphina said, “but you won’t be grateful to him. Likewise, you won’t be grateful to me. Maybe in your heart, you’ll even resent us. Because if I hadn’t told you the truth about the death of your parents, and if Herman hadn’t been so cooperative, you wouldn’t have betrayed the person you respected the most. Even though this person killed your parents, he is still the most important person in your heart.”

Upon hearing this, Keeley scoffed, “What gives you the right to say that?”

“Because you are still protecting him,” Seraphina said, staring directly at him. “Aren’t you?”

Even though Naylor’s crimes could no longer be concealed, but until now, Naylor had not spoken, and Keeley had not said anything, indicating he still had reservations.

Upon hearing this, Keeley scoffed again, but slightly turned his face away, not responding.

Seraphina gave him another glance, and suddenly said, “I don’t know, who is more important to you, your parents or Naylor?”

“What are you trying to say?” Keeley turned his head and looked at her.

Seraphina smiled, “Let’s make a deal, you tell me all of Naylor’s crimes, and I’ll tell you the last secret your parents left in the world.”

Keeley stared at her face, not moving for a long time.

“I’m not lying to you,” Seraphina said, “You would really want to know. Think about it.”

Three hours later, Keeley finally let it all out.

During these three hours, Seraphina had been sitting in the open office area outside, full of energy.

When the cops walked out of the interrogation room, Seraphina immediately went up to them, “How did it go?”.

Both cops looked grim. One of them, hearing Seraphina’s question, said angrily, “They’re so vicious, they have no regard for the law.”

Seraphina bit her lower lip gently.

If they were exclaiming like this, it meant that Keeley must have confessed everything.

These people thought their invincible crimes would never be exposed, and now they were finally unveiled.”

Seraphina had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and for a moment, she leaned weakly against the wall.

One cop reached out to help her, “Are you okay?”

Seraphina shook her head slightly, and the other cop said,

He wants to see you, can you go now?”

Seraphina straightened up and slowly said, “No problem.”

So one of the cops went to report to the higher-ups, and the other accompanied Seraphina into the interrogation room.

Keeley was sitting behind a table in the room. After three hours of talking and confessing, his once vibrant face finally showed a hint of fatigue.

But when he looked up at Seraphina, his eyes were still bright.

Seraphina sat down across from him and slowly said, “Congratulations, you finally got all the demons out of your closet.”

Keeley watched her quietly, not saying a word.

Seraphina suddenly leaned in a bit and almost provocatively said, “But you don’t seem relieved, do you?”

Keeley locked eyes with her for a moment, then said, “You know that’s not what I want to hear.”

“I know,” Seraphina chuckled, slowly saying, “Of course, I know.”

“Are you not going to say it, or is there nothing to say?” Keeley asked, seeing her composed demeanor.

Seraphina looked at him and slowly smiled, “No, I’m just thinking about where to start.”

Keeley silently watched her, Seraphina deep in thought. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

After a while, she finally smirked, “Well, let me start by praising you. Although your actions are despicable and lawless, at least you have

a bit of conscience to avenge your parents. In the end, the position of your parents in your heart still trumps Naylor.”

Hearing this, Keeley’s mouth tugged up slightly, then he looked at her and said, “What’s next?”

“Your parents would be comforted in heaven,” Seraphina said, “because you still have a bit of conscience.”

Keeley listened, silent for a moment, then slowly said, “Just for this?”

“What else could it be?” Seraphina slowly laughed, “To avenge them? I don’t think they would, because they don’t need it. Because their death has nothing to do with Naylor.”

Keeley’s gaze fell on Seraphina’s face, surprise and anger flashed by, but in the end, it became unusually calm. He smirked in self-mockery.

“It’s all lies,” Seraphina said, “The arson case is real, but the case being related to the Martin family is fake, your parents witnessing the case is also fake, their death being related to Naylor is even more fake.”

She calmly stated, and finally commented, “But it worked perfectly.”

Keeley gradually began to laugh.

After a while, he said, “You know what? I actually thought that it might not be true.”

Seraphina looked at him coldly, “Really?”

Keeley looked at her and didn’t answer.

Obviously, she wouldn’t believe it, but in fact, he had doubted it, and doubted it a lot.

But in the end, he chose this path.

If it was true, then he had avenged his parents;

If it was false, then let it be him paying his dues.

Let it be him paying back to those innocent people who died at his hands, to those families that were torn apart, to those parents who lost their children, or the children who lost their parents, and to her.

He used to think he was free and happy, but he never experienced what it was like to lose a loved one in such circumstances.

And now, he had.

Even though it was a sham, he still felt it.

Those people and things he hadn’t thought about for a long time, about family, dreams, and a lot of stuff he had forgotten… he recalled all of it and reflected deeply

But still, he preferred to believe that his main drive was to avenge his parents.

However, Seraphina didn’t give him that chance./

She revealed the truth without any hesitation, forcing him to face the cruel reality.

“You really hate me, don’t you?” Keeley asked.

Seraphina responded with a smile, “What do you think?”

Keeley gazed at her for a moment, then nodded lightly, “Yes, you should hate me. Even though you’re acting most of the time, but… that time you cried in front of me, that was genuine, wasn’t it?”

Seraphina let out a scoff, “What’s the point of asking this?”

“You hate me, so you wish me nothing but bad luck.” Keeley continued, “Clear love and hate, ruthless determination, that’s your style.”

Seraphina looked at him calmly, waiting for him to carry on.

“That’s the kind of life you should live.” Keeley looked at her, speaking slowly, “You should keep on like this, never compromise for anyone… especially when dealing with Leandro.”

Seraphina didn’t expect him to say that in the end. She just chuckled, didn’t respond, stood up, and walked out of the room.

Keeley watched her figure disappear outside the door, his gaze fixed on the door, unmoving.

Outside, Seraphina stood at the door, also not moving.

At some point, Leandro had entered the building. he stood by the door, looking at her calmly.

Seraphina looked at his expression, guessing that the last thing Keeley said must have been heard by him.
