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
In the departing car, Serena turned her head to glance at the solitary figure, her lips curling in a mocking smirk.However, Scarlett's gaze was fixed on Ida.This girl lacked the feminine charm, exuding a strong and dignified aura."Serena, who is she?" Scarlett inquired."My bodyguard," Serena sighed, "It's a long story. Let's find a place to eat."Jo overheard their conversation and quickly drove to the nearest restaurant.Scarlett looked at Jo, then at Ida, her brow furrowing.It seemed that a lot had happened to Serena.After about half an hour of explanation, Serena lowered her head and took a sip of water, "That's how it is."Scarlett looked at her with empathy. Serena had sacrificed her youth for her granny, Mary."Is that man good to you?" Scarlett asked. If even her husband didn't appreciate her, wouldn't life be too difficult?"He's good to me," Serena thought of Matthew, of how he had saved her.Her expression softened, "But he loves someone else."Scarlett breathed a sigh
The hotel from the photos was surrounded by reporters, but security guards at the entrance prevented anyone from getting closer.The bed was still in disarray, and Scarlett, wearing a casual outfit, heard the doorbell, thinking it was Peter returning.Opening the door, she was surprised to find Daniel standing there with a stern expression.She furrowed her brows, casually turned around, and put on her coat. "Is there something you need?"Daniel felt like he was losing all sense of reason.The air in his chest was nearly sucked out, and he was paralyzed by this suffocating feeling."You spent a night with him. How much did he pay you?"His mind felt like it was swept by a roaring tsunami. Anger burned through him like wildfire, but he knew that if he erupted, he would only push this woman further away.He wanted to get closer, even if just a little, even if it meant being humble.His eyes turned dark, bordering on a deep red. Scarlett, buttoning up her coat, glanced at him. WhenDanie
Serena's eyes show surprise –missing?How come there hasn't been any news from the Harringtons? It seems like someone is keeping it under wraps.Aware of the intense power struggles within the Harrington family, Serena didn't expect things to escalate to this extent.No wonder Matthew chose to reveal his identity at this particular moment.It's not just for Mira; it's also to suppress those within the Harrington family who are making moves.With him in control, Richard might enjoy a period of stability.This man truly lives up to his role as a businessman.Besides publicly revealing his identity for his love, he also calculates these things.Matthew puts down the newspaper and looks at her."Keep your distance from Ethan; my dad's situation might be related to him."Serena bites her lip. Hearing this reminder, her heart softens a bit. "I know. I'll keep Ida close by."As Matthew starts to head upstairs, she can't resist grabbing his sleeve, a frown forming on her forehead."You... you
It seemed like placing a fish in the desert; once it felt a bit of moisture, it couldn't wait for more.As if doing this could alleviate the fear hidden deep inside her.Her mind flashed with a burst of light, as if a hand had pulled her back from the abyss. Sanity finally returned."With me here, everything's okay."After a long kiss, Matthew kissed her cheek and held her tightly."People will come soon."With her eyes closed, Serena's body finally stopped trembling, but her face was already streaked with tears.Matthew's mouth felt bitter. Her tears seemed bitter to him.He disliked seeing women cry, but strangely, he didn't dislike her tears.In fact, he was afraid of them, as if her tears made him feel helpless.A man who held life and death in the business world was now completely defeated by a few light tears in the dark elevator.The only light in the elevator came from the phone. The staff monitoring the situation through the surveillance cameras had probably seen the scene.R
Serena's heart trembled."Are they seriously injured?""When the collision occurred, they jumped out of the car and only suffered some minor scratches."Serena breathed a sigh of relief, her palms already sweaty.If Matthew hadn't carried her onto his car, the consequences would have been unimaginable.Ida and Jo could save their lives due to their formidable skills.If she had been in the car, facing an imminent explosion, she would have had no chance of survival.She instantly thought of Ethan. He had wanted to collaborate with her, and when she refused, he seemed to become resentful. Now, it looked like he wanted to eliminate her entirely.A wave of fear struck her. The conflicts within a big family were far beyond what an ordinary person like her could comprehend.But now that she had boarded the Harrington family's ship, all she could do was figure out how to preserve her own life."Serena."Matthew's voice sounded in her ear, and she reflexively looked at him.Matthew was standi
Lorraine's fingers squeezing her coffee cup tightened for a few moments and her eyes sank, she hadn't expected Matthew to speak so nonchalantly."Matthew, you probably don't know that Maxwell has already annulled his engagement with me for Serena's sake and is going to bring Serena back to the Harrington family headquarters in spite of the elders' objections, Serena has stayed in the Purple Garden for so long, and what exactly she and Maxwell have done, do you really not care at all don't mind?"There wasn't a man who wouldn't mind, it was just that Matthew's fondness for Serena went beyond all that.Now that Lorraine brought it up, the discomfort in his heart was instantly magnified.It was only now that he realized that Serena had lived in the Purple Garden, and that Maxwell had called off his wedding to Lorraine."Matthew, you also know that Maxwell looks exactly like you, so have you ever thought that maybe Serena is just using you as his doubl
Matthew was deliberately hiding her whereabouts?This was something Serena knew, Matthew was trying to divert attention from other people by contacting other women before.Robin noticed the look in her eyes and knew that she trusted Matthew and felt slightly uncomfortable."Rena, go ahead and turn over the next photo, Matthew and that woman have met, this is what I took from the cafe's security camera, and it happens to have the front of that woman in it, exactly the same as you, have you ever thought that maybe you're just a stand-in for a certain woman, and that Matthew's being nice to you is just trying to divert the attention of certain people .""No."Serena denied it almost without thinking, her brow set in determination.If it hadn't been for what happened in the fire, maybe she really would have suspected Matthew.But in the fire, how could Matthew be protecting the woman when he had already said that to her."Rena, you
It was getting darker and darker, and Serena's mind had been restless ever since she heard that Matthew had to go out recently.When she went to bed at night, she habitually nestled into his arms, and just as she entered dreamland, she began to dream.Dreams of deep, bottomless oceans, dreams of the man holding her close and not wanting to let go, dreams of him chewing raw fish and feeding it mouth-to-mouth into her mouth.The ship's board was adrift in such an ocean, her life in danger at any moment.She was shivering with cold, unable to distinguish dream from reality.He called her "Serena" over and over again in her ear, his voice so gentle and loving that her eyes began to redden.Her body was held in his arms, and he kept her warm with his body heat, while he was submerged in the sea.The fish smelled so full of fish that she swallowed almost unconsciously, having no idea what she was going through.Serena's tears ran dow
"Sophie, why are you telling me about this now, I was almost victimized by that bitch!"Roger had a belly full of bitter water and was worried that he had no place to pour it out, just when Sophie called this number.And Sophie was still different from the others, at least the other party had been comforting him."Mr. Roger, so how are you now? Is everything okay?"Even though she already knew how Roger ended up, Sophie was still pretending to be confused at this moment.Hearing that she was concerned about herself, Roger suddenly felt a little guilty, guilty that before this, he actually suspected that Sophie was trying to brush herself off.It turns out that people are just not feeling well, and they are not receiving calls for the time being.Sophie's image in his heart instantly towered over him, and all of his resentment was transferred to Serena."Being dismissed by my uncle, all because of Serena, this bitch!"Rog
Serena raised her eyebrows, it turned out that contacting the bodyguard did not rely on the phone, this was something she really did not think about.When the old man saw her face, his eyebrows were even more smug, ''Do you think that there is nothing I can do if you block my men down there? I'm just willing to cooperate with you, I really think I'm charmed by you, now you don't want to pull Infinity Realm's Boss on me, no one can save you, if you're sensible, you can send this bodyguard out of the room, and stay here with me for a few days."Serena gauged the time and Matthew was almost there.She had the bodyguard hold the older man down while she herself broke the glass in the bathroom, picking up the shards and plunging them down his throat."Mr. Roy would be better off with a little less talk right now."Her tone was light, yet her strike was so vicious.Mr. Roy was so shocked that he almost screamed, luckily the glass shard stopped a few centimeters from his throat.His forehead
The old man was already dissatisfied with Roger's current attitude, and now that he heard Serena say this, he instantly understood.It turned out that Roger himself coveted Serena's beauty, and the gaze he looked at Roger with a thorn in his side, making Roger feel like a fool inside and out.Roger could only hastily apologize, "Mr. Roy, I definitely didn't mean that."After saying that, he looked at Serena, his eyes full of threats, "It's good that Madam can figure it out, following Mr. Roy does have a good life, don't you think of running away, or else ......"Serena laughed lowly and didn't bother.The old man could no longer stand Serena's clear-cut energy, and immediately spoke sharply, "Where does Madam want to go? Please."He made a "please" gesture, and Serena lifted her foot and left.Roger was in a hurry, but with Mr. Roy here, he couldn't really say anything.Serena went all the way out of Vitec Technologies, her heart suppressed a ball of fire, but now the crisis has not b
She kept whispering, but in this small space, the sound had a brief echo that disturbed her.She crouched in the corner, holding her head, her mind in turmoil.The people in the monitoring room saw her like this and were a little afraid that something was wrong, but with Roger's orders in front of them, no one dared to put Serena out.The child's voice was getting more and more shrill, like she was facing some great fear, and with it being in this dark, claustrophobic space, Serena felt like she was going crazy.She pounded on the wall, but no one paid any attention to her until the back of her hand was swollen.In the afternoon, Roger mercifully came over to take another look and found Serena had crouched motionless in the corner of the wall and looked quizzically at the crowd in the custody room."What's wrong with her? Shouldn't be scared to death?"His tone was full of mockery, the corners of his mouth curved up triumphantly, "I thought I had a hard-on, but it turned out to be jus
If she didn't see it with her own eyes, Serena couldn't believe it was Sophie.Sophie liked Jack to the point of paranoia, and didn't expect to go behind Jack's back and do something like this."Does Jack know when you're like this?"Her voice trailed off, holding her chest slightly as she looked Sophie over.Sophie raised an eyebrow, getting up and grabbing a bag off to the side, "Madam is this about meddling in her ex-boyfriend's family business?"She emphasized her ex-boyfriend, her words full of sarcasm.Serena raised her eyebrows and laughed out softly, "That's not true, before I heard that Winters Group had a big crisis, after seeing you I realized that the crisis has been so serious that the grand lady of Winters Group actually needs to come out to pick up customers, I'm just a little surprised."Sophie originally still had a cloudy face, when she heard her say that, her face instantly changed, slightly narrowing her eyes."Serena, if it wasn't for you, do you think I would be
All she needed to do was to plant a seed of doubt in Serena's heart, and with time, that seed would surely grow into a huge tree.Serena was staring at her cell phone in a daze, and when Lorraine reminded her of this, a cold sweat did break out on her back.She thought back carefully to the details of her re-encounter with Matthew, such as to Mr. Roger was touching her left index finger, the place where she wore her ring.Matthew never wore a ring, only Maxwell wore a ring, and only someone who wore a ring would react that way.She tossed her cell phone aside as a pain started to build in her head.After careful thought, she found the idea funny again, Lorraine still had something to hide from her, this person's words couldn't be trusted one hundred percent, maybe the other person was purposely trying to separate her and Matthew.Thinking of this, her heart settled down a bit, lying on the bed and fell asleep.Matthew returned not long after, he lifted a corner of the quilt and lay on
