Chapter 362: Liking a Fat Girl
"The person you asked us to investigate - we found a little something, but not much." Detective Atlas's voice on the phone carried a hint of helplessness.
Sloane sat in her office. Hearing Atlas say this, she felt a bit disappointed. "So what did you find?"
Atlas continued, "We only found out they have a daughter."
Sloane frowned, a little annoyed. They already knew Timothy and Elizabeth had a daughter who had been dead for a long time. What kind of news was this? "I already know they have a daughter."
Atlas chuckled and continued, "We found out their daughter just returned to the country recently."
"What?" Sloane sat up straight in shock. "What did you say? Isn't Seraphina already dead?"
Atlas answered, "No, she's not dead."
Seraphina was actually alive!
Sloane furrowed her brow. "Can you find more specific information about her? Where is she now?"
Atlas said, "We can keep looking, but we might not find anything."
Sloane's tone calmed down. "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
After hanging up, Sloane leaned back in her chair, lost in thought. Timothy and Elizabeth's daughter Seraphina wasn't dead - she had returned to the country.
Sloane picked up her phone and video-called Cecilia.
After a short wait, an elderly woman with gray hair appeared on the screen.
"Grandma, their daughter Seraphina is still alive. She returned to the country recently, but I haven't found much information yet."
Cecilia on the screen frowned slightly, a flash of surprise crossing her face. "Seraphina is still alive? Are you sure?"
How could Seraphina still be alive?
Timothy and Elizabeth's bloodline should have been completely wiped out!
Cecilia angrily stroked the cat in her lap, her eyes filled with hatred. "Sloane, arrange for people to continue investigating Seraphina."
Sloane nodded. "Yes, Grandma. I'll keep people on it and let you know immediately if there's any news."
At five-thirty in the afternoon, Seraphina walked out of the company building.
Seeing Seraphina come out, Stefan got out of the car and opened the door for her.
"Thanks," Seraphina smiled as she got in the car. "Stefan, take me to Global Mall. I need to buy a birthday present for my dad."
Stefan checked the time. "Want to eat first? When is your dad's birthday?"
"Let's get beef noodles," she smiled. "My dad's birthday is next Friday."
Stefan was already planning in his mind to buy a birthday gift for Seraphina's father Timothy to show his respect.
Seraphina turned to look at Stefan and brought up what she had asked Timothy and Elizabeth about last night. "Do you want to take me to meet your family first? My parents won't object to whoever I'm with, so I was thinking, let's visit your family first, okay?"
Thinking about his hidden family background, Stefan coughed lightly. "Okay, but you should know my family is in Majestic City. When do you want to go back with me?"
Seraphina didn't think much of Stefan's momentary awkwardness.
She thought for a moment. "This weekend works. You can ask your family first if it's convenient."
Stefan nodded. "Okay."
The two went to a very popular beef noodle restaurant. They heard the noodles there were really chewy and had a nice rice fragrance.
Stefan carefully poured tea for Seraphina.
While eating the delicious beef noodles, Seraphina chatted about birthday gifts and asked about Stefan's parents Damon Hensley and Kennedy's preferences.
"What kind of gifts would your parents like?" Seraphina was a bit worried about the gift-giving.
Stefan looked at Seraphina, his eyes smiling. "Let's just buy a fruit gift box. That's pretty good."
Stefan knew very well that his mother Kennedy liked jewelry, but those things were too expensive - he didn't want Seraphina to bear that cost.
Seraphina nodded. Of course, she couldn't just buy a fruit gift box. After all, this was her first visit to Stefan's family - she needed to put more thought into it.
Seraphina planned to ask Elizabeth's opinion when she got home.
After finishing their noodles, Stefan and Seraphina went to the mall.
Seraphina planned to buy Timothy a piece of clothing as a birthday gift.
"Stefan, turn around and be my model for a bit."
Stefan's build was similar to Timothy's.
Stefan obediently turned around with his back to her. Seraphina held several pieces of clothing up to his back, comparing shoulder widths.
After a long selection process, Seraphina chose a high-quality shirt.
She said to Stefan with satisfaction, "Okay, I've made my choice."
Just as Seraphina finished speaking, a surprised voice came from nearby. "Isn't this Mr. Hensley?"
Seraphina and Stefan turned to look and saw Jane, dressed in a fancy fashionable dress, looking at them with mockery.
Jane walked closer, her eyes looking Seraphina and Stefan up and down, and said with a cold laugh, "I never would have guessed you two know each other. No wonder Mr. Hensley went to such trouble to pull up the surveillance footage that day."
Stefan frowned slightly and ignored Jane's sarcastic remarks. He looked at Seraphina. "Dione, let's go."
Seraphina nodded. She didn't like Jane's superior attitude.
The two prepared to leave.
But Jane blocked Seraphina's path, tilting her head as she looked her over. "Fatty, are you Mr. Hensley's relative?"
Seraphina felt somewhat displeased, but she remained calm and smiled. "Miss, who are you? Why should I answer your questions? If your brain is sick, go see a doctor."
Jane was stunned for a moment, then sneered. "Believe it or not, I can make Mr. Hensley get kicked out of the company tomorrow. Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?"
Stefan put his arm around Seraphina's shoulder, his eyes cool as he looked at Jane. "Ms. Robinson, I've already submitted my resignation. Dione, let's go."
Jane's gaze fell on Stefan's hand on Seraphina's shoulder, shock and confusion flashing across her face. "She couldn't be... your girlfriend, could she?"
Stefan couldn't even be bothered to answer Jane's question - they weren't close.
As Stefan and Seraphina were about to leave, they heard Jane cover her mouth and laugh lightly. "Oh my god, Mr. Hensley, you have such special taste."
He actually liked a fat girl.
