Chapter 259 - is that enough clues?

Seraphina smiled. She was reminded of how Ace had a habit of going in circles by his words. Oddly enough, though they were redundant, he can still relay his message just with the same words.

Tapping her fingers on the table, Seraphina slowly closed her eyes for a minute before opening them again. Her gaze immediately caught's Ace who was languidly leaning on the wall with his blank expression.

Raising her taping fingers to support her chin as Seraphina leans closer, her perilous gaze earlier when she was threatening George was gone and turns into a gentle one. To her, if Leon is akin to a skewed overprotective big brother, Ace, on the other hand, is like a younger brother to her.

After all, although Ace seems dangerous and his assassin instincts were unbelievable if he set aside his emotion but, just like her, the people that he believed would be his family treat him with contempt. One of the reasons why of all people, she respects and understood Ace's feelings back in the days because she can relate.

"Hmm, why don't you find out yourself? You know, when you get bored on your day-offs -- at least there's something to do if you're not guarding the door of my Gramps." As usual,

Seraphina would want to challenge Ace just like the good old days.

However, Ace didn't notice the similarities of how Luciano make him play his little guessing game instead of saying it himself. Smirking as a glint flash across Ace's eyes, it was as if taking her challenge as he was utterly bored doing his job guarding the door of Sebastian Yue for a month.

"by the way, you can work under me since my Gramps will be very well guarded from now on. That's' much easier, right?" Seraphina added with a smug grin. Indeed, not only Logan will make a priority to secure Sebastian Yue but she is certain that George will do the same to his own safety while he prepares his scheme.

Seraphina then slowly placed both her palms on top of the table as she assisted herself to stand up, she languidly traces the edges of the table by her right hands while taking strides to the table knife standing erect in between the split in a half plate.

Pulling it without any exerting effort, Seraphina scans it thoroughly before smirking and threw it on the jamb of the dining entrance. The table knife then embedded at the patio frame which made the person hiding behind it flinch in shock.

"Didn't you said you're not feeling well?" Seraphina audibly spoke to the person hiding behind the wall. After she stabbed George Yue's palm, Seraphina already noticed this person's and Ace presence came into her vicinity, yet, she doesn't mind. After all, Geoge screams were akin to a pig that was being butchered. So, it would be impossible that someone who's courageous enough will take a look at what was happening.

Ace raised his brows as he was somewhat amused by Seraphina's keen senses. He also noticed Marjorie's presence came later than him but, he didn't expect that he would be exposed. Thus, he can only anticipate what more clues he will obtain by watching another storm coming on George Yue's wife way.

Unconsciously, the corner of Ace lips curled upward without him realizing it as his inciting gaze turned to the entrance of the dining hall. Soon, Marjorie's frail figure came out with as pale as a sheet lips as if she was drained of blood. After all, she was just there because of her husband screaming.

"Sera niece, I --" stuttering, Marjorie was finding an excuse as she felt the minacious atmosphere lingering around the dining area. What more? the person who was emitting that dark aura was now smirking like a maniac demon -- amused and diabolical.

"I understand, George Wife." Seraphina started taking slow strides towards Marjorie which alerted the pretentious woman making her take a step back. After a few steps back, Marjorie felt the cold wall against her back while the table knife was still surprisingly embedded on the jamb few inches beside her.

Seraphina didn't take a while before he reached Marjorie's standpoint. Stopping in front of her, Seraphina's gaze pierced through her eyes up to her very soul. It was as if she was reading all her dark secret and undressing all the beautiful clothes wrapping her insides -- exposing her ambitious nature.

A lump form on Marjorie's throat rendering her speechless as Seraphina peered her with interest and her bone-chilling gaze. Was it her turn to be torture after her husband? Will Seraphina just suddenly stab her as well? Questions like that came rushing to her mind while Seraphina squints her eyes.

Since Marjorie was too focused on her muddled mind and how she can escape, Seraphina started whispering indistinct words as if she was chanting a spell and placed her hand on Marjorie's shoulder. Listening to her words, the last words she had heard was 'sleep' before everything went blank.

Ace's brows knitted as he witnessed Marjorie suddenly went unconscious and her head hang low and was only supported by the other arm of Seraphina preventing it to drop to the ground. To his point of view, Seraphina just hypnotized her Aunty just like that. After all, hypnotism was beyond his expectation from Seraphina.

Which also rose his suspicion and drive to know the person he was working for the past months. Surely, his interest was piqued and part of him who never admit that he misses the danger and action in his life slowly resurfaced.

"Aunty, you didn't hear anything tonight right? Because after going inside your bedroom, you slept feeling a little unwell. After a snap, you will wake up and do what I said. One, two, three -- *snap*" Seraphina instructed Marjorie after she snapped her fingers which automatically woke up Marjorie whose pair of eyes were devoid of life and without a word, she started taking strides back to her bedroom.

"well? that's enough clues right?" still staring at Marjorie's retreating back, Seraphina spoke to Ace on the corner who had a grin on his face.
