After Serena arrived at Pines Ridge, it was already afternoon, and Ida and Jo were waiting for her at the door."Madam."Both of them respectfully greeted her, their bodies fully recovered. Serena nodded, about to open the door, when she heard Jo speak, "Madam, no matter what Mr. Jordan says, don't believe him."Serena's hand holding the doorknob paused.Jo hadn't accompanied her to Ignite Spirits Bar, yet he knew something had happened to her..."Mr. Jordan always likes to oppose the Boss. As long as the Boss has glanced at a woman, he will want her."Serena's mind was in a whirl, unable to focus on anything else.She gave a perfunctory "Hmm" and closed the door to the living room.She couldn't help but doubt—could she really successfully break free from the Harrington family two years later?Would Matthew's enemies or friends really let her go?She felt like she was falling into a huge abyss, watching herself sink bit by bit.After a while, Nathan returned, bringing Matthew a change
Several days later, Matthew's injuries gradually improved, but the atmosphere in the hospital room became colder day by day.Serena had not come to visit, not even a phone call.Serena had been busy with company matters these days, and she hadn't had the mind to deal with anything else.After work, she was stopped by Greg."This is Boss' document, Serena. I heard Boss is in the hospital. Please deliver it to him."Greg was Gloria's father, and Serena didn't expect him to approach her voluntarily.He should know about the situation between her and his daughter.Without refusal, Serena took the documents and went straight to the waiting car outside."Go to the hospital," she told Jo, closing her eyes slowly.Jo sighed in relief. Serena finally agreed to go to the hospital.Nathan had mentioned that the atmosphere in the hospital was currently quite terrifying.20 minutes later, Serena arrived outside the hospital room.She pushed open the door and found Matthew working on his laptop.Se
Matthew ruthlessly pushed her away without saying a word, seemingly planning to leave.Anxious, Mira continued to approach, embracing him."I took the aphrodisiac. Are you really leaving? Matthew, if you leave, what should I do? And how you explain yourself to my Family."As the drug took effect, her speech became intermittent, and her eyes became hazy.Matthew's eyes showed a hint of danger as he said word by word, "Nathan."Waiting at the door, Nathan walked in, not daring to raise his head."Go find a man."Nathan was taken aback.Mira was the heiress of the Waters Family, and the relationship between the Waters Family and the Harrington family had always been good.If something happened to Mira, it would be hard to explain to her family."Why aren't you going?"Hearing Matthew's words, Mira felt like cold, piercing ice had suddenly fallen onto her heart.She turned pale."Matthew, are you really going to treat me like this?"Now that she had taken the drug, as long as this man rea
Inside the room, Mira's provocative words and the man's ambiguous responses continued, too low to be heard clearly.Serena felt a sudden wave of nausea in her stomach.She thought that given Matthew's personality, he wouldn't engage with other women outside, at least not within the next two years.However, she didn't expect to witness such a scene."Do you still need your bag?"Jordan spoke casually from the side, a glint of cunning in his eyes.Serena had just left the room not long ago and realized she had forgotten her bag inside.Now, returning, she encountered this unexpected drama.She tugged at the corner of her mouth, turning around slowly."No, let's not disturb them."In the elevator, Jordan noticed her unpleasant expression.He reached out and rubbed her head. "If you're sad, my shoulder is here for you to lean on. Feel free to use it."Serena pushed away his hand, seemingly uninterested.Sad? Perhaps.Having a man like that constantly around her, how could she not have oth
*Creaked*Just as the door open, a voice could be heard.It was Matthew.Jordan quickly gestured at the man in black."Hide for a moment."The man holstered the gun and went upstairs.As soon as he left, the door was kicked open by Matthew.He seemed like a harbinger of darkness, surrounded by an aura of death.Jordan nonchalantly smiled, gesturing towards Serena."Here to see her?"Matthew didn't answer him, walking directly to Serena and carrying her in his arms."Matthew, it seems she is your weakness.""Mind your own business."Leaving behind these words, Matthew held Serena and left.Serena was still running a fever, and the IV had been removed.She now lay quietly in his arms.Matthew lowered his head, glanced faintly, and instructed Nathan to drive.After the car pulled up to Pines Ridge, Matthew took Serena to bed and then called the doctor to come and re-administer the fluids."Jack..."Serena whimpered, her eyes moistening.Matthew's body tensed, his eyes narrowing.Serena h
Serena frowned.He's already sleeping with Mira. Why was he clinging to this piece of marriage contract?Wasn't he supposed to agree immediately, allowing her to make way for his beloved woman?She couldn't understand him.Matthew closed his eyes, calming the anger in his heart. "Serena, don't test my patience."His angry demeanor was something no one would want to witness.He let go of her and, grabbing his coat, headed for the door.Serena went upstairs, sleeping straight through to the next day without any disturbances.When she woke up, she was ravenously hungry.After a simple meal, she grabbed her bag and headed out, planning to buy some things at the mall before visiting Mary.However, as soon as she entered the mall, she spotted Mira.Mira, who had lost her previous nobility, now carried a hint of charm."Serena, it's you," she greeted with a smile, occasionally adjusting her collar.Serena could clearly see the red marks beneath her collar, indicating the enthusiastic encount
Serena was unaware of Mira's thoughts.After shopping, she quickly headed to Mary’s house.Mary had recovered well, and the house was neat and tidy.Originally, she wanted to wait until Mary fully recovered to ask about her mother.However, she was now suffering from Alzheimer's disease, forgetting many things.She might not even remember her own children, so there was no need to go through the trouble.Returning to Pines Ridge, she had some worries.After all, she had said those things to Mira, and if Mira whispered in Matthew's ear, her days ahead might not be pleasant.However, to her surprise, the whole afternoon was calm.Although Matthew had returned, he showed no intention of talking to her, which suited her.In the evening, Tara suddenly called, saying Nina had locked herself in her room for two days and refused to listen to anyone, staying upstairs.Without hesitation, Matthew immediately grabbed his coat.He turned to glance at Serena. "Go with me."Serena was taken aback. T
Tara noticed that in the short time Serena had been upstairs, Nina had come downstairs on her own, and she felt relieved."Matthew! How come you have time to come over today?"Nina, in her slippers, asked excitedly when she got downstairs, showing no signs of sadness.Matthew, not used to comforting people, rubbed her head when he saw her sparkling eyes."Mom said you're not behaving?"Nina pouted. "No, I just broke up."After speaking, she turned to Tara."Mom, sorry for making you sad."Tara's eyes reddened, and her emotions had been tense due to the unknown fate of her husband.Seeing her daughter acting sensible, she turned away, feeling somewhat awkward."You're just spoiled. You young people talk for a while. I can't help with matters of a broken heart."Serena, seeing Tara's reaction, suddenly felt envious of Nina.She was the little princess pampered by the Harringtons, not having suffered any grievances.Her family genuinely cared for her, standing at a pinnacle others could
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
