During the meal, Michelle had been trying to test Serena and Richard's true relationship but was met with Serena's clever responses.

"Samantha will go back with you later and meet the Mrs. Tara and Miss Nina first."

Michelle's tone held a veiled threat, and Serena's hand paused briefly while holding her fork, her eyes carrying a trace of coldness.

Serena's hand froze on her fork for a moment, holding back the cold light in her eyes.

"Samantha just had a confrontation with Nina.” she added evenly. “And Nina has already made it clear that she'll SLAP her again if she sees her. Oh, of course If she really wants to go and humiliate herself, just back with me."

"Serena!" Michelle slammed her bowl onto the table,the atmosphere grew heavy, thick with tension.

She didn't count the fact that Serena had just hit Samantha, but the other party spoke with barbs, could it be that she really didn't care about the old villain's death?

The air was dull for a moment, the smell of gunpowder.

    Matthew didn't care about her anymore and took it in stride.His body was stained with a lot of water and he looked wet."Boss, the doctor is here." Nathan called cautiously from outside the door, keeping his ears open for any movement inside.This was the first woman had entered Pines Ridge and shared a room with Boss.Matthew changed into clean clothes, and opened the door.Nathan withdrew his inquisitive gaze and showed his respect by bowing his head."Go make a cup of hot honey water and send the doctor back."Matthew's body was cool and his hair was wet.Nathan watched him change, his mind instantly spinning in a hundred directions...Usually people will shower and change after ......"Yes sir."

    Outside the door, Matthew's eyes narrowed slightly as he noted the untouched honey water and cold medicine.Retrieving the key from a nearby drawer, he unlocked the bathroom door, pushing it open.“Ah-”Serena had been leaning against the door, and she nearly stumbled forward as he entered.Quickly, she grabbed a towel from the shelf and wrapped it around herself.Matthew's pupils narrowed. It was his towel and he did not like anyone to touching his things.He had a strong penchant for cleanliness.Anger surged within him, his emotions reaching a boiling point."Sir, I'm sorry," Serena stammered.She didn't know what else to say, hanging her head as water continued to drip from her soaked hair. Her appearance was disheveled and messyUnexpectedly, Matthew's anger dissipated.He spoke, his tone devoid of anger, "Come out, have your honey water and take the medicine, and stay here for the night."Serena didn't refuse any longer.She was concerned that returning in this state would only

    Nina already hated her, and if Nina discovered that she was resting here, she'd be dead!Serena couldn't hear what Nina was saying, and everything sounded like the devil's footsteps."Why aren't youanswer? Open the door for me! The bodyguards at the door informed me. Or I'll find that woman myself!" Nina's voice echoed in the hallway, gradually approaching the room.She's here! Can't wait any longer!Her mind was in a complete daze as she panicked and made her way to the window.She looked out, the room was situated about two stories above the ground, so even if she were to jump, she would likely sustain injuries at the very least."Don't be afraid, Serena; it won't be worse than being driven away!"***"Nina," Matthew's voice called from outside the door.Nina was already positioned outside Serena's room, a triumphant raised eyebrow highlighting her curiosity."She's in there, isn't she? I'd like to see what kind of beautiful woman could keep you hidden like this,"* clunk *Before M

Richard's tone was surprisingly affectionate, which left Serena a bit perplexed since she didn't know him very well."I'm back late, so I won't go over for dinner with tonight.

    "Honey, want to be here?"Matthew's voice was instantly muffled, as much as he wanted to, Nathan was still standing behind them.Serena gave him a blank look, cradled the roses in her arms, and went into the living room.Matthew bumbled after her."Why did you suddenly remember to buy flowers?"She took a glass vase and carefully opened the wrapped bouquet, pulling a few out and placing them in the vase.Matthew's eyes instantly soured at the sight of this care, a sourness he couldn't quite put his finger on.Puzzled, he felt to where his chest was, his lips losing color from the pain.It hurt, in his heart and in his head.He leaned back and fainted straight away.The flowers in Serena's hand instantly fell to the ground, and she rushed the man to the hospital in fear.Was he irritated? Did she do something to hurt him?But everything she did was normal, what part of him was stimulated?After taking the person to the hospital, the doctor examined Matthew."It's probably a bad stimulu

    "Boss, Madam will get mad if she can't find you."Hearing that Serena would be angry, Matthew's heart panicked, thinking that he had quietly taken her things again.If she knew about it, she would definitely ignore him.Serena did go back to Pines Ridge now, and when she saw that Matthew wasn't there, she frowned, sat down on the couch, and had the doctor called in."Madam, Sir's spirit seems to have problems originally, that's why after the bruise pressed the nerves in the brain, it became like this now, this bruise if we open the knife, if we are a little bit careless, it will take Sir's life, in order to be safe, it can only be kept in the current state, Madam you can guide it appropriately.""If I guide, won't he be stimulated? When he falls asleep these nights, he always cries out for pain in his dreams and holds his head, so I don't dare to do anything, as long as he's happy, that's enough.""Major stimulation is best avoided, the brain is too dangerous in this location, but pro

    Nathan sat in the driver's seat, wanting to open his mouth to persuade, but did not know what to say.Sometimes the fool's mind is very sensitive, if he said the wrong thing, it would not be good to make a mistake."Nathan, do you think the wife likes me?"His voice was muffled, and he closed the window and lowered his lashes.Did Madam like Boss? If it had been the old Boss, maybe there was a little bit of liking, but if this was the current one, he couldn't really say.His hesitation was denial in Matthew's eyes, and his heart instantly ached, the kind of pain that quickly spread throughout his body."Is it someone else she likes?"His voice began to rasp, and his eyes filled with unease, his hands resting on his knees, both balled into small fists."Boss, Madam does like you, don't think too much."The more he advised, the more counterproductive it was.Matthew closed his eyes, his eyes filled with sourness, "I get it, she really does think I'm stupid, Nathan, let's go back!"His l

    Yes, she was selfish, begging her dad to come up with the money to save her life after only meeting Matthew once.But doesn't that just mean that she likes him?That liking was paranoid and pure, regardless of who he was, his status, or even if he had a wife."Serena, if you want to blame it on Matthew, blame it on the fact that he fell right in front of me and that I saved his life."Serena didn't say anything, if that was the case, she was still to blame for this, for giving away Matthew's whereabouts.She looked over at Matthew and found him looking confused.A lot of what they were saying was beyond his comprehension, as he had no idea what was going on, from start to finish.Candice and Brook had already left, and it looked like it wasn't going to stop.Matthew stood in the doorway of the office, afraid to go in, he felt like he was getting her in trouble.Serena organized the pieces and saw him still standing in the doorway, not willing to come in, her eyebrows wrinkled, "What a

    "Matthew, I can finally find you."Brook's face showed a trace of sickly pallor, pretending not to see Serena on the side, warmly stepped forward and shook Matthew's hand.Matthew looked embarrassed and naively shouted, "Uncle."Candice saw this scene and rushed over to take Brook by the arm, "Dad, Matthew has disowned us, we'd better go back."Brook glared at her, "What are you babbling about, Matthew's life was saved by us, if not for us, he would already be dead, and he said that he would be with us forever!"Serena could sort of see that the youngest was not working and the oldest was coming out.Matthew anxiously defended, "Uncle, I didn't, it's just that I found my wife, my wife is Serena."He was afraid that Serena would misunderstand, so he hastily grabbed Serena's hand, not intending to let go.Brook's eyes then looked at Serena, he covered his mouth and coughed twice before suddenly kneeling down with a 'plop'.

    Serena reached out and rubbed her fingers over his cheek.Matthew's skin was so good that he couldn't see a single pore even when he looked this close, crying at this moment, as harmless as a newborn baby.Seeing Serena wiping his tears, his crying stopped in an instant, staring at her in a daze, as if he was looking at a cherished treasure that couldn't be cherished more."Wife, I suddenly realized that you are so gentle."Serena was originally full of anger, but when she heard him say this, all her anger instantly subsided.It was she who owed him, she shouldn't have been controlled and betrayed him, causing him to be in this state."Go back."She took his hand and didn't bother with Candice anymore.Matthew didn't bother with the other man either; as soon as Serena showed up, his world became nothing but her.Candice stood still, grimacing but helpless, from the moment Serena appeared, she had lost.She was so

    Matthew caught her, thought of Serena, and tried to push away again in a hurry.But Candice wrapped her arms around his waist so tightly that he couldn't push away at all.Nathan watched from the sidelines, his brows knitting deeply."Matthew, I told you it wasn't safe for a girl to stay in a hotel alone, where are you staying now, I want to join you."Matthew was just about to answer honestly when Nathan spoke up, "Miss Candice, you're out wandering around by yourself at this late hour, this is a long way from the hotel you're staying at, what are you doing here alone?"Candice's face looked a little bad as she was poked and prodded, "I was hungry and wanted to come out to get something to eat."After saying that, she looked at Matthew, "Matthew, why don't you accompany me to buy something? Otherwise what if I meet a bad guy again?"Matthew was in a dilemma, he was still attached to Serena in Pines Ridge, but he was a little angry at

    Serena had no intention of arguing with them, right now Matthew was a few years old and took his feelings very seriously.And Candice had capitalized on that, daring to come to Infinity Realm single-handedly.Candice had a hard time hearing Matthew call Serena his wife.She thought that this was the man God gave her, but the two of them had only been experiencing a little bit of sweet time before such an illusion was shattered, and she was just not happy about it.She was even more upset to see Serena looking like an elitist nowadays.Her family is not rich, she went out to study and took out hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans, and her father was sick, so there were only the two of them at home.She had no choice but to bring her dad with her.Now that she had graduated, it was just the right time to come out and look for a job, and when she heard that Matthew had been brought back to Hustleburg, she hurriedly followed her back

    Serena's brow tightened and there was no way around it, "Fine, you're coming with me."Matthew heard this and got up quickly, dressing himself.But he didn't know how to tie a tie and fiddled with it in front of the mirror for a long time before finally looking to Serena for help."Bend over."Serena said faintly, untied the tie he had tied in a knot, took a new one out of the closet and tied it around his neck.Matthew was in a good mood, and after a quick breakfast, he followed her on his ass.Upon entering Infinity Realm, he looked curiously from side to side and finally took Serena's hand.They met quite a few people along the way, it had been rumored that Matthew's whereabouts were unknown and possibly dead, but who would have thought that the other party had actually come to Infinity Realm!The executives who were egged on by Greg earlier were so anxious that they came to the top floor office to ask for forgiveness, but none of them were able to get in with Nathan blocking the d
