Eaglecrest Estate.Richard, reading the media reports, slammed the table forcefully."Sue them! Sue each and every one of them to death! Do they think I'm dead? They dare to bully my people like this!"Nina pouted nearby, feeling a bit unhappy."Grandpa, why are you so worked up? Serena is capable. I think, judging by her appearance, she can handle it herself."Nina was quite displeased; her grandfather had always cared the most about her.Serena seemed to have taken away his love, leaving a sour taste in Nina's heart.Richard suddenly calmed down, a hint of kindness appearing on his face."Nina is right. Serena can handle it on her own. I was just worried and got carried away."Nina felt even more uncomfortable, "Grandpa, you trust her so much...""That's because she's your sister-in-law."Nina fell silent, pursing her lips.After leaving, Nina was filled with thoughts.She had never thought she would be jealous of anyone before.She was the pride of heaven, the cherished pearl in he
Pines Ridge GateThe security guard recognized Mira and was aware of her connection with the Harrington family.However, after the incident last time when they let someone in, and Boss got angry, they dared not allow anyone in without permission."Miss Mira, Boss is still at the company and hasn't returned. If you need to see him, you can go directly to the office."Mira's eyes turned red.He couldn't even enter his villa, while that woman enjoyed his tenderness inside.Why?Suppressing the almost bursting emotions, she drove to Infinity Realm and directly barged into the top-floor office.It was 9 p.m., and there were still many people working on the top floor.Everyone saw a beautiful woman standing in front of Matthew's door, pushing it open without hesitation.*Bang*Matthew was currently focused on something, and upon seeing the woman entering, he furrowed his brows.Mira calmly closed the door and turned around. In that instant, tears fell from her eyes in big droplets."Matthew
Mira's eyes lit up upon hearing Matthew's words."I won't give up on you. I'll always be by your side."Her heart immediately softened, and she wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes.Matthew closed the laptop."I will get divorced from her in two years, but with you, there's never a possibility."With one sentence, Mira plummeted from heaven to hell.She couldn't believe what she was hearing.Was she not better than Serena?Anyone with eyes could see that she surpassed Serena in every way.Matthew had already stood up. "Miss Mira, I believe you wouldn't stoop to breaking up someone else's marriage. It's late; I'm going back."A frosty expression settled on Mira's face. She understood the implications of Matthew's words.She, Mira, couldn't become a homewrecker.That was something a mistress would do. Matthew was now married to Serena. No matter how superior Mira felt, Serena was his wife.She regretted not becoming his woman that night, missing such a perfect opportunity.Sh
Serena didn't care about online opinions, but she definitely wouldn't withdraw the lawyer's letter she sent to those media.As long as they dared to continue rumors, she would definitely make these media pay.However, early the next morning, miraculously, all the media kept quiet and did not report on the matter again.Although there were still discussions among netizens, those comments were all well-intentioned, except for Samantha, who became the target of ridicule.Serena sighed in relief, and when she heard her phone ringing, she didn't want to answer. It was probably Ethan calling about cooperation.She felt a bit annoyed, so she directly hung up the phone, went to the bathroom for a quick wash, and then headed downstairs.Matthew was elegantly having breakfast downstairs, with a cup of coffee in front of him.Serena didn't greet him.Even when their relationship was at its worst, she used to say "Good morning" during breakfast.But now, she couldn't be bothered to maintain even
Ella, noticing this, coldly eyed her and took the phone away."Serena is in the restroom and can't take calls right now. "Ella hung up the call and looked disapprovingly at Gloria."That's someone's personal belonging; you shouldn't have touched it."Gloria lowered her head, a bit wronged. "Sorry, Ella. I was just curious about who Serena's husband is. I thought maybe she got involved with someone..."She muttered this under her breath, but the male colleagues around heard it.Previously, they had suspected that Serena had been involved in some improper relations.However, they had no evidence, and Serena didn't actively integrate into their social circle.She came and went alone, hardly speaking to anyone besides Ella.Ella's face turned colder. "We're all law graduates. We should know that when speaking outside, we must be responsible and rely on evidence."Gloria's eyes immediately turned red, tears streaming down. "Ella, I was just joking. Don't take it so seriously. I was wrong.
5 AMSerena, exhausted, pushed open the villa gate and found that the servants were already up.What surprised her was that Matthew was up so early today, and it was only half-past five.Seeing her return, Matthew casually withdrew his gaze.Serena pursed her lips, went straight to her room, took a shower, changed into professional attire, grabbed her bag, and headed downstairs.While changing shoes at the door, Matthew, unusually, spoke up, "Be careful and come back early."A warmth filled Serena's heart, and she slightly curved her lips.Matthew pretended to be engrossed in the newspaper, glancing at her from the corner of his eye as she approached and quickly averting his gaze.Serena stood beside him, suddenly placed her bag down, and then nestled into his arms, tightly hugging his waist.Matthew's body instantly stiffened; even the newspaper slipped from his hand.With closed eyes, Serena greedily breathed in his scent. She felt so secure. When did this man become someone she cou
In the evening, she went to the private room booked by Ella, where many people were already present, all colleagues from the department, including Gloria.The table was filled with bottles of alcohol, indicating that tonight was going to be a wild night.No one came to toast Serena, but Gloria had attracted quite a few men around her.Drinking with male colleagues, Gloria would discreetly spill the alcohol on the floor when she couldn't keep up.Some male colleagues noticed this and teased her."Gloria, this isn't acceptable. Why would you spill the drink on the floor?""Yeah, you can't resort to such tactics."Gloria felt a bit embarrassed. While most male colleagues were friendly towards her, there were one or two macho men who didn't appreciate her antics.Serena found it amusing and slightly smirked, her eyes half-closed, sitting quietly beside Ella.Seated beside Serena was another male colleague, but everyone tacitly refrained from urging her and Ella to drink."Serena, let's go
In the evening, ever since she saw that news, Serena's mind was uncontrollable. She let the stylist dress her up, dragging the process, as she had no desire to attend.It wasn't until 8 PM when the banquet had already begun that she sluggishly arrived at the venue.Upon reaching the venue and revealing her face, she found a secluded spot to hide.Matthew hadn't arrived yet, and she didn't want to witness the commotion his entrance would create.Compared to the bustling hall, the backyard was noticeably quiet.Serena breathed a sigh of relief as she sat on the swing, lost in thought.The dim yellow lights in this area made it unlikely for anyone to notice her if she stayed in the shadows.fter sitting for a while, she saw a man and a woman approaching.The man pinned the woman against the wall, and his hands roamed freely, igniting flames in various places.Even at a distance, Serena could hear the woman's voice, melodious like a warbler, each sound enchanting, as if trying to captivat
