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
Scarlett instantly grew calm. Sweet words would not awaken this man to reason. He was poisoned.She was pressed against the large French window, the city lights sparkling before her, and his soft words behind her. She couldn't hear any of it.If this window could suddenly collapse, it would be good. Let them fall together, smashed into pieces, and in the next life, they would owe each other nothing.Suddenly, heavy rain began outside, the sound of raindrops pounding on the window. Scarlett felt a chill.They had loved each other, their bodies so familiar. Despite her resistance, memories of those days surfaced involuntarily.A sudden pain shot through her shoulder.Daniel's eyes displayed a long-lost obsession. Seeing her flushed face, a hint of mockery crept up his brows."Scarlett, if you feel wronged, bite me back."His voice was melodious, much more pleasant than the rain outside.Scarlett, angered, pushed him away, biting into his neck and jaw.She tasted the metallic tang of blo
