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
Serena inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, stayed for a while longer, and then returned to the hall.People were discussing Matthew's appearance, and a crowd had gathered around him.However, he remained calm, like an elusive mountain flower, distant and unattainable.Elegant Mira stood by his side, and they looked perfect together."I never thought that the frail Matthew is actually the boss of Infinity Realm. It's said that he revealed his identity tonight for Miss Mira.""But isn't his wife Serena?""They were forced together by Mr. Richard. Mira and Matthew are a better match."Matthew's revealed identity wasn't sudden; there were rumors in high society before.Now, it just confirmed everyone's speculations.Holding a glass of red wine, Mira looked at the man with admiration.She refrained from getting too close to avoid gossip about being a third party.She aimed to gradually outshine Serena and stand by this man openly.She heard the surrounding discussions, exactly what she
Mira’s voice was soft and gentle, like a breeze on a summer day.The man's grip tightened, "I won't let go."It seemed like they had repeated this conversation many times, with her patiently saying, "Gabriel, let go," and him always responding, "I won't let go."Gabriel White, like Jordan, was a playboy who enjoyed a carefree life.However, Jordan's carefree lifestyle was genuine, while Gabriel had admired Mira since childhood.To deeply love someone was like thunder in the chest, but between the lips, there was only a light breeze.He always said to her lightly, "I love you, come to me, I'll cherish you."But this lightness had been years of profound feelings.Mira glanced around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one had noticed them.She tidied her hair, "Stop bothering me. You know who I like."Gabriel remained silent, his eyes filled with hurt.After Mira left, he took out a cigarette and smoked a few puffs, his eyes turning red.Jordan arrived to witness this sce
