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?

    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."

    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

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?

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'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

    That was full of intrigue, but Matthew, being a silly white man, naturally didn't hear it.Being coaxed to the bed, he watched Serena lying beside him, "Are we sleeping together? Is it bad to sleep together? My wife said .......""Shut up!"Serena yelled impatiently, her brain hurting.Matthew instantly didn't dare to say another word and rolled over in resignation, turning his back to her.Serena stared at his back and put her hands on his waist, holding the man close.Matthew didn't dare move, and his mouth still spoke stubbornly, as if to guard the last vestiges of his loyalty."Will we have babies lying together? My wife says ......"Before he could finish his words, he was given a heavy twist on his waist, which hurt so much that his eyes were on the verge of tears.He bit his lip and had two more bubbles of tears in his eyes.Serena felt like she was turning into a walled woman and Matthew was the lady of the house that she had snatched back!She soon fell asleep and Matthew wip

    Serena just felt a sharp pain in her head and almost revealed her original voice.She closed her eyes and squeezed her palms tightly, "Byron, send him to Hustleburg."Byron heard the phone hang up on the other side and his brows tightened.What did he mean by going to Hustleburg when he thought Maxwell was going to tell him to bring Matthew back to Sin City?But he never doubted the man's word.He glanced at Matthew, who was playing with his toys alone next to him, and reached for his forehead.Matthew's face was a picture of innocence, staring curiously at the toy in his hand as he sat alone with his legs crossed.Hearing Byron hang up the phone, he looked up and spoke cautiously, "Can we go find my wife now?"The corner of Byron's mouth twitched hard, it was nice to be stupid but not forget that he was a man with a wife.He'd had the doctor come in and check Matthew out and had come to the conclusion that the man was indeed stupid.The shot he'd taken hadn't been fatal, he'd probabl

    Byron didn't notice her expression and stood faintly in front of the window, "I've already sent people out to look for it, if you have any news, remember to let me know."Lorraine didn't say anything even though she was unwilling.In other people's eyes, she and the Mercenary Guild were one and the same.But this time, she wasn't going to listen, if she found Matthew first, she would make sure to hide the man for treatment.The two were sort of on their own, and Byron just showed up here and left.Lorraine rushes to inform her people and intensify the search.But the people try for a long time and there is still no sign of Matthew.Hustleburg.Serena also waited anxiously, she used the phone to contact Byron from time to time, but there was no news of Matthew from Byron's side.With every minute that passed, she became more agitated.But she had to be steady!In the evening, she had just left Infinity Realm when she felt a set of eyes on her not far away.She frowned and walked quickl

    Lorraine's mouth smiled coldly as she continued to wait for news from her men.Not a short period of time had passed since Matthew's disappearance, and almost all forces were searching for him."Miss Lorraine, Byron's men are here and seem to be looking for Matthew as well."Someone outside the door spoke softly.Lorraine frowned, she knew that a lot of people were looking for Matthew right now, but the Mercenary Guild's people were the only ones who shouldn't be here.The Mercenary Guild was Maxwell's power, why would Maxwell have people come looking for Matthew?Before the underling at the door could say anything, Byron had pushed his way in."Lorraine, what exactly did you and Maxwell plan in the first place?"Lorraine's face stiffened, she and Maxwell did have a plan, a plan that only she and the other knew about."Byron, what are you doing here?"Byron sat down on the sidelines with an anxious brow, "Maxwell has shown up and told me to come find Matthew, the man he's trying to ki

    Serena raised an eyebrow, the corners of her mouth curling slightly, "Pet of no consequence? Hasn't anyone ever told you that I'm Matthew's wife by marriage? And if I'm not respectable, then what are you guys, the ones he promoted?"Everyone was dumbfounded by these words.Before this, everyone in Infinity Realm knew that Serena and Matthew had a somewhat intimate relationship with each other.But who would have thought that she was the legendary Mrs. Boss!"My husband has just disappeared not long ago, and the outside world has started rumors that he has died, and the once well-behaved directors have started to show their fangs, haven't you all thought about how you should handle yourselves if he comes back?"Greg instantly became anxious when he saw that the directors were looking at each other and seemed to be thinking of retreating."Serena, don't you dare to demonize the people here!
