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." His steps were light, and a satisfied smile adorned his face.

His boss had finally broken his fast and was to be congratulated!

Matthew didn't care what he thought and proceeded to the adjacent study to commence a video conference.

Half an hour later, Nathan knocked on the door and said,

    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

    Harrington Grand Estate was steeped in a quiet atmosphere, with only the diligent servants bustling about.Serena inquired and learned that it was Mr. Richard's return that had drawn everyone to the airport, explaining that man sudden departure.Serena was finally free to stay here for a while, without having to deal with the "enemy".Until 7:00 p.m., when a phone call came in."Girl, I'm Matthew's grandpa." 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. When the jet lag wears off, I'll make sure to invite you myself. You're my choose one, and if you ever feel wronged in this house, be sure to let me know."Richard's voice was genuinely caring, and Serena could sense his joy through the phone.Oddly, her mood lifted as well.Richard's demeanor reminded her of her late grandfather, a cherished memory from the past."Take care, Grandpa," Serena responded.Ric

    The following evening.Serena attended the event and soon realized that Nina's description had not done justice to the grandeur of the occasion.The room was filled with elegantly dressed guests engaged in mingling and exchanging compliments.Serena was clad in the gown gifted to her by Nina, with her hair elegantly arranged and the eye-catching hairpin presented by Richard.Her natural beauty was enhanced only by a touch of lipstick, a rare departure from her usual makeup-free style.The lipstick surprisingly complemented her skin tone, creating a unique and pristine appearance amidst the heavily made-up women in the room.Serena's clean and elegant look made her stand out among the crowd.Michelle's face froze as she caught sight of Serena.She had managed to secure an invitation for this event, hoping to expose her daughter, Samantha, to a world of elegance and opulence.However, Serena's presence immediately shattered her plans."Is that Serena?!"

    Catherine's voice reverberated through the room, capturing the full attention of all those present.The commotion had everyone's eyes fixed on the unfolding scene.Unfamiliar with Serena's identity, the attendees were under the impression that an uninvited interloper had infiltrated the event.This kind of incident occurred annually when individuals sought to seize the opportunity to mingle with the wealthy elite.Meanwhile, Evelyn, who had been engrossed in conversation with others, had observed the commotion and felt compelled to intervene as the event's host.As her eyes landed on Serena, her pupils constricted in disbelief."Why are you here?!"This Harringtons gathering had been purposefully low-key, with little fanfare within high society.Consequently, Evelyn was unaware of Serena's association with the Harrington family, as Catherine had deliberately kept her in the dark.She had assumed that Serena's presence would go unnoticed, no one would recognize her anyway!"Auntie."C

    The crowd automatically parted, and the elderly man with a walking stick slowly approached with Nina's assistance.His gaze pierced through the room like a sharp blade, locking onto Evelyn.His eagle-like eyes, filled with an unwavering determination, seemed to lower the room's temperature by several degrees, making everyone feel as if a heavy weight pressed down on their heads.Evelyn took a step back, her face paling.Mr. Richard?Wasn't he supposed to be abroad?When had he returned?Seeing his cherished granddaughter-in-law being mistreated in such a way!Did they really think the Harrington family had no one?*Da-da*Richard declared, grounding his cane with authority and a commanding voice."Serena, come over here. I’d like to see who DARES to eject you today,"The few bodyguards who had initially intended to remove Serena hesitated and avoided eye contact.Evelyn's throat was dry, and her fingers involuntarily clenched."Mr. Richard, Miss Serena was..."

    Jordan, who had been lurking in the crowd to enjoy the spectacle, was suddenly exposed by Richard's outburst.He put down his wine glass, and the playful smile on his face turned somewhat serious."Grandpa," he called out with feigned innocence, raising his right hand. "I swear I just arrived."Actually, he had been present from the beginning, But he needed not to step in. Serena was great.Just by looking at it from afar just now, he could tell that this girl Grandpa chose was special, he must admit that he was a little envious of Matthew, if she was his wife..."Grandpa, don't worry! I won't be letting anyone bully our family! Leave the rest to me!" Jordan stated righteously.Serena glanced at Jordan briefly before shifting her gaze away.Hadn't this man witnessed everything from the beginning?He had even seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold when Catherine dropped the hairpin.She narrowed her eyes but said nothing.Jordan, however, seemed pleased with Serena's response.He wa

    Just now, while she was brooding here, Serena thought a lot about how she was going to make this man suffer, how she was going to make him pay for Mary's death.She thought of one idea after another and finally vetoed one after another."Matthew, do you have any idea how obnoxious you are?"She said, looking up with red eyes and biting her lip.Matthew said nothing and raised a hand to dry the fluffy drizzle from her hair.Serena couldn't bear the depth of his tenderness like that.She shuddered and slapped his hand away, covered her face and began to cry, sorry to Mary, sorry to everyone.She'd never been in such pain, like a wound exposed to the air, blood slowly draining, muscles slowly rotting, every second that passed seemed like a knife cutting through bone.Guilt and panic tortured her heart at all times, lynching her and tearing away flesh and bone marrow piece by piece.Matthew frowned and bent down to take her in his arms, "Serena, what's wrong with you?"He asked cautiously

    After exhaling a ring of smoke, his mind suddenly remembered what the woman had just said, "Jordan, do you love me?"Somehow, the person who said those words had suddenly become Serena.Jordan's eyes were confused, and it wasn't until his hand hurt that he looked down and realized that the smoke had burned down to where his fingers were.He stubbed out his cigarette and stared out the window in disbelief.The years had flown by and he had had many women lie in his arms and ask him if he loved them with a look of infatuation and devotion, but how ridiculous that the woman he loved the most had never asked that question.Jordan curled the corners of his mouth, pulled out his cell phone to check the time, and walked out of the room.After hopping into the convertible, he hit the gas and headed straight for Pines Ridge.Coincidentally, Serena came out of the house, saw the car parked next to her, and subconsciously had to swerve to avoid it.But Jordan was quick, getting out of the car an

    But the two men's voices never came from behind her, and the corners of her mouth tickled mockingly, no longer curious what they would say, and quickening her own pace.Once she was gone, Nathan spoke again."Boss, I didn't expect Wilbur to betray us, I treated him like my best brother, and he even ......"It was hard to hide the sadness in Nathan's voice and his forehead was tired.Wilbur disappeared for three years, he and Boss are no fools, both are a little suspicious, so they began to investigate what happened to Wilbur in the past three years.Wilbur was his brother, but as long as it was Boss, he had to find out the details.But when you look into it that much, it is actually something that happened three years ago.Three years ago, it was because Wilbur leaked their location that they were ambushed.After checking this out, Boss rushed over in the night and rearranged all the forces in the shadows, just for fear of being taken out of their hideout, after all, Wilbur had always

    She asked herself, she was not a kind person, but Wilbur had saved his life at least once, and he was his brother, and he had already knelt down, so sincere and open, that he could not spare his life?If it had been her, she would have kept Wilbur alive instead of just blowing his head off and giving him no chance to live.Now that he talked so easily about sending Wilbur out of the country, it was obvious that it was really cruel.Serena's heart cooled as she became even more skeptical of the secret Wilbur and Matthew were talking about.She had overheard Wilbur's words earlier, and she had been on the defensive against him as a person, but now that she thought about it, Wilbur didn't know that she was hiding in the dark at that time, so how could he have intentionally acted out for her?Not to mention that he had just lost his life. Would a person use his life to put on a show?Was it worth it? What did he get out of it?With these

    He smelled of dust and seemed to have been out recently.The corners of Wilbur's mouth turned up, the bottoms of his eyes slightly scarlet."Boss, I think it's time Madam knew these truths.""And what did you say to her?"Accompanying Matthew's grim voice was the sound of a bullet being loaded, and with a single tick of his fingertip, Wilbur would be lifeless.Wilbur looked up, not in the least intimidated by the muzzle of the gun pressed against his head, but with a cheerful expression on his face."It's a shame Madam isn't here, or she'd know how desperate the men she cares for really are."Matthew's face immediately grimaced and his eyes narrowed."Boss, all the happiness you have now is stolen, do you think Madam will stay by your side when she finds out about all this? You'll be a sinner by then.""My business is not your business.""I just feel sorry for Madam."Matthew ticked the corner of his mouth

    "I have raised you for so many years! Not for you to step into a man's trap with one unproductive foot, if you mess with him again, I'll have him blocked tomorrow!""Don't you dare! If you block him, I'll tell everyone in Hustleburg what you did, and let them know that Mr. Greg of Infinity Realm forced himself on a woman with a group of people! Humiliated someone to death!!!""Pop!"Another hard slap and Gloria's face was deflected with a somewhat contemptuous mouth hook.Greg's face turned red and he snapped, "What are you babbling about?!"Gloria wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with sharp sarcasm."I already knew it, don't pretend, you said drunken things when you were drunk, and said that the woman cried so sadly before she died, but you all didn't have a soft heart, and tortured her to death alive, dad, my character is like you, people say there is a father like you, you are such a no-good person, how can I be better!"Greg couldn't get a word out, he

    Serena couldn't care less about Daniel and rushed to say quietly, "I'm here Scarlett, just hang in there."Scarlett smiled to herself, no blood on her face, "Daniel, can you go out first?"Her words were full of mockery, even the bottom of her eyes were filled with mockery.Daniel stiffened and stood up, taking a step toward the door.It was only a moment after the door closed that Scarlett bit her lip, her hand squeezing the sheet tightly."Serena, I'm dying.""No way!!!"Serena, filled with fear, held her hand in place to keep from hurting herself.Scarlett turned her head with difficulty and looked at her guiltily."Serena, the only person in this world I've ever apologized to is you, I don't deserve a tombstone, so when I die, donate all my organs, and burn what's left in a fire, scatter the ashes by the side of the road, don't go home, don't go to the grave, don't reincarnate, and better yet, the soul should be scattered so that it can wash away the sins in my body, and also so t

    Serena's excitement slowly faded as her breathing began to slow and her hands began to squeeze and squeeze harder."Husband?"She rubbed her eyes, and the next thing she knew, she was flattened out in a recliner.Matthew kissed her gently, cupping the back of her head and undoing her buttons one by one with his mouth.Serena's face flushed and she looked away, "What are you doing?"Gasping for breath, Matthew scooped her into a hug, desperately trying to suppress the emotions that were about to spill out."Do you want to stay here or go to your room?"Serena tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.Matthew couldn't hold back any longer and scooped her up in a hug and headed back to the bedroom.The servant, seeing them head on, hastily lowered his eyes and looked at them.Serena had been drinking and it was coming back to her, and just after she was tucked into bed, she could no longer see much of anything.Just to lean against him and get some warmth from

    Matthew carried on, not noticing her bend, and bubbles continued to boil in his heart at the thought of her waiting for him outside.After dinner, the two of them sat on the couch watching TV like a normal young couple.Serena opened her mouth, still unable to resist saying something about Wilbur, but just as her lips opened, Nathan walked in from outside."Boss, there's another impromptu meeting you need to handle."Matthew's brow furrowed in obvious exhaustion, and he braced himself to get up when he heard the words.But after a few steps he turned his head and smiled at Serena, "I'll be done by twelve and then I'll take you to the fireworks."Serena's heart fluttered instantly and her mind grew much warmer.It was Mary's first New Year without her, and she thought she would have a lonely time, not realizing that this man would take care of her feelings in every way, take her shopping for New Year's Eve, and even think of going to the fireworks with her.She lowered her eyes, sudden
