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
However, Serena was mistaken this time; Gloria had no knowledge of her true identity.Gloria targeted Serena simply because she disliked Serena's aloof attitude.They were both newcomers, so why did everyone, including Ella, treat Serena with such respect?Gloria had thought her status would allow her to swagger through the Legal Department.However, she faced a setback in her first attempt, getting slapped down hard and fainting.When she woke up, the first person she saw was her father."Dad..."She weakly called out, her eyes instantly welling up with tears.Greg looked at his daughter with a heart full of distress. "Do you know why I had you join the Legal Department, Gloria? I wanted Boss to see your capabilities, to make you stand out among all the women. Why is your vision so short-sighted? How can you not get along with a newcomer?"Gloria's face was still swollen, and as her father reprimanded her, tears streamed down again.Greg couldn't bear it and reached out to rub her h
With regards to their wedding, Serena and Matthew naturally had no problem with it, after all, Hayden was kind of what they had watched grow up.With the approval of the two, Hayden became very busy during this period of time, he asked Leona's opinion, and it turned out that the other party was not willing to go abroad to hold the wedding, so the place for the wedding turned out to be a church in Hustleburg.Leona took a leave from the research lab, saying that she wanted to rest for a few days, and as a bride, she naturally couldn't go to the wedding with a tired face.It was a big deal for a new businessman to marry the daughter of the Harrington family, and Hustleburg was instantly buzzing with excitement.This wedding was all designed by Hayden alone, not wanting anyone to get involved, from the process to the flowers needed for the ceremony, all of which were handpicked by himself.The decisive man personally do these things, always give people a kind of unreal feeling.The word
He monkeyed around and started fumbling with the buttons of Leona's dress.Leona frowned and held his hand, she wasn't interested in being right here."Hayden, go back and talk."Yet the man's voice came in her ear, inexplicably aggravated, "Go back?Going back would take another half hour."Leona couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and let out a "pfft".Seeing her in a good mood made Hayden bold, easing his seat down and catching her lips in a kiss.It was only when dealing with her that Hayden would act so much like a brat.Leona couldn't argue with him and could only sigh.It was all over, exactly twelve o'clock.Hayden was a little unfulfilled, but knew that he couldn't go on.Leona was too tired to say anything and just leaned back in the seat, half-closing her eyes.Hayden drove the car home, and when he got outside the apartment, instead of waking her up, he bent over and picked her up, heading upstairs.Leona did seem to have it a lot easier since the contract was drawn
Hearing Matthew say that made Serena feel slightly better.She actually had no intention of interfering with her daughter's choice, but as a mother, where was the reason not to love her daughter.She and Matthew had only been in the hospital room for half an hour before she was blown away by Nina, who said she didn't want to be force-fed dog food to eat on top of her allergies.Serena felt innocent, and before she left Matthew gently chided someone in the bed, "Next time be polite to your sister-in-law."Nina was so angry that she called Tara directly to complain, and there was always a gentle voice over there, instructing her not to get too emotional.Nina stayed here for a day, the door of the hospital room was quietly opened, and the tightly wrapped man revealed a pair of eyes, even alertly pulling the curtains closed.The lewd figure, needless to say, must be Rodney.Sure enough, Rodney took off his hat and looked at her red and swollen face painfully, "Did you check the allergens
Did she think that just because she knew Leona, she was really on the same starting line as Leona?If Leona moved out the Harrington family behind her, even a hundred Delia couldn't move a finger! Otis has figured out a lot of things after walking around in circles this time.Leona this time by his design, will be tricked, but also on the face of he is Hayden's friend, only did not do too much, if let Infinity Realm's Boss and Mrs. Boss know that their daughter outside the aggrieved, I am afraid that the consequences are more serious than now.Delia is a graduate of a prestigious university, more or less a little bit of arrogance, now hearing Otis say so, she stared wide-eyed, ''Isn't she, Leona, just a little bit better than me in terms of family history?What's the big deal? What are you so proud of, if I had that good family background, Hayden would like me too! She's just lucky."Serena had just passed by the ward door when she heard this.She paused in her steps and looked to Mat
Hayden pressed the answer button and only heard a few words from there before he froze in place.Otis had been knocked right into the resuscitation room by that bottle, saying that a splinter had lodged in his scalp and he needed surgery ASAP.His head buzzed with a few vague responses and he hung up.He pulled Leona into the car, "Leona , I'll take you back first."Leona sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking out and not talking to him.After arriving at the apartment, Hayden sent her into the door, as he turned around , Leona suddenly pulled his hand, "Hayden, remember what I told you before, if this friendship comes to a point where you should let go, don't hesitate."Hayden took a step forward, his body frozen in place.He turned and hugged her, "I actually believed you all along and didn't doubt the truth in your words, so it's hard for me because in that moment, I lost my best friend."Parting comes so suddenly in the adult world.Yes, while standing in the box, he took Leon
It was the first time Leona had ever been so angry, angry at the man's behavior, angry that he was Hayden's friend.She still had half the bottle cupped in her hand and wanted to just poke the glass slag into him, but she couldn't be so impulsive.She gave Otis, who was still struggling, a cold look and clasped her hands slightly as she held the door to the compartment open and waited for the police to arrive.The police came quickly, and following them was Hayden.Hayden hadn't expected this to be the case in the box, and he froze for a moment, before asking, "Leona, what's wrong?"Leona was just about to speak when Otis, who had been bored for a long time, jumped the gun, "Sister Leona, you don't have to humiliate us in this way if you don't like Delia and I. I'll pay Hayden back the five million dollars, I didn't mean to drag him down."Leona had grown up in the Harrington household, and her friends had all sat upright, and none of them had ever been so calmly upside down as Otis.
When a man eats, his movements are slow and unhurried, it's really eye-pleasing to look at.Tim, with this kind of big personality, felt a little embarrassed."Uncle, this is your first time in Hustleburg, right, there are other places in Hustleburg that are very pretty."As soon as he finished his words, an assistant-looking person ran not far away and attached himself to the man's ear and said something.The man got up and straightened his sleeve, "Thanks for the hospitality, if we meet again, I'll buy you guys."Leona and Godfery hadn't spoken since the beginning, but he knew exactly how many people were around.Tim stood up in a hurry and held one of his hands, "Let me help you over."For his attentiveness, the assistants standing by the side all laughed, "Although Mr. can't see with his eyes, his heart is penetrating, he's been here before around here, and he remembers all the roads."Tim embarrassedly put down his hand and touched his head, "This way, then uncle goodbye."Watchi
This was probably the first time Leona had offered to say yes to taking him out, and Hayden had been waiting for this opportunity for far too long.His heart instantly caught fire and he nodded solemnly.He rushed off to the place he'd agreed to go with Otis, a park that used to be a favorite haunt of the two in high school.Back then the park still had a fountain and was surrounded by young couples out on dates from school.He had just gotten there when he saw Otis sitting on the bench they used to sit on with a case of beer at his feet.Hayden walked over and sat down beside him, "What brings you here all of a sudden?"Otis pointed to his feet and smiled faintly, "You should have gone to a lot of trouble to fish me out this time, I don't know how to thank you.""Otis, you're my friend.""Hayden, there's a lot I want to say to you."Otis lowered his eyes and opened a can of beer, "Sit down."Hayden sat down beside him and Otis started with some funny stuff that happened in high schoo
Hayden didn't know how to respond to his best friend's questioning.They went straight to the hospital and when the doctor examined them, he talked about what happened to Delia in the past few days.Otis held Delia's hand and started crying while Delia's eyes kept resting on Hayden's.Hayden's brain hurt, both of the people here were his best friends at one time, but this time it seemed like he was on the verge of losing them.Back in high school, he and Otis used to sit on the playground from time to time drinking beer and coke and talking about their dreams at that age, and Otis would always tease him with Leona.Neither had realized that the adult world would be filled with so much hopelessness, despair.Otis cried for a while and fed Delia water.Delia had no strength in her body and could only take a few slow sips right from his hand.Otis' eyes instantly turned red, when had he ever seen Delia like this.Delia had always followed them around like a tomboy, we all played soccer t
