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,"

    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?!" Samantha's eyes welled up with je

    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

    Serena refrained from identifying Samantha as her sister, merely stating her whole name.Samantha's countenance darkened considerably, and she extended her hand to introduce herself, saying,"Hello, Mr. Jordan, I'm Serena's sister. My name is Samantha."Jordan withheld his own hand, and his gaze lightly scanned Samantha's face.He bluntly remarked, "You two aren't truly sisters, are you?"Despite the inquiry, his tone remained unequivocal.Samantha's complexion darkened further, and she retorted, "We're half-sisters.""Well, then my sister-in-law's mother must be a knockout."This statement simply means that it's a blunt way of saying that Samantha is ugly.Jordan's sarcasm was acerbic, inflicting a painful blow to Samantha's pride.Samantha's eyes welled with tears, and she bit her lip, unable to respond.Samantha still young and deeply concerned about her appearance.How could she stand such mockery?She hastily devised an excuse and made her way over to Michelle.With a cup of red

    Soonly, Richard's car had arrived at Infinity Realm Inc.His last thread of sanity was all that kept him from kicking open the office door in front of him."Matthew Harrington!" he shouted, calling someone by name to vent his anger.His demeanor clearly showed his anger.Inside the office, it was silent, except for Nathan, who was diligently working."Sir, boss just left for an out-of-town meeting, and we're uncertain about when he'll return," Nathan informed Richard.Richard's anger felt like a punch into soft cotton.Obviously, Matthew had guessed he was coming and was the first to duck out of the way.Richard clenched his teeth and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He reminded himself that he would have another opportunity to confront Matthew."You tell him! He's done!" He said before slamming the door angrily and leaving.Matthew, having waited until Richard was gone, finally emerged from the lounge.His expression was clouded as he removed his jacket and began to b

    Jordan was dissuaded at the time, he only saw her once and was taunted by her.He had a few more women after that, yet the pleasure he gained in those women was far less than a glance at her.At the freshman party his freshman year, he snuck off to Metropolitan University again.He wore a ducktail hat and slipped a pink love letter into her hand in front of everyone.Seriously, in all the girlfriends he'd dated, he'd never done anything so childish.He kept his head down, not daring to look at her.The bad idea of the pink love letter was his friend's idea, saying that maybe women with such a high strung appearance ate it up.Serena propped her head up and didn't look up at him.She seemed to be in a perpetual state of delirium, no matter how noisy the environment was, her surroundings were always so quiet and peaceful.He was rightfully rejected, and she never even knew what he looked like from the beginning.Perhaps in her memories, she would surely forget this little episode, but h

    Jordan resignedly got up and walked towards the beach.He really didn't lie, the seafood here is very rich, but this is a small island without people, except for the use of the boat's tools to solve the three meals a day, other than anything else can't be done.The boat he drove wasn't small and had everything on it, however, when he had wanted to take his kids out for a ride on the sea, he hadn't expected to get lost.Jordan regrets it as he fishes.Leona is growing up right now, it shouldn't be good to eat this stuff every day, right?That group of losers, obviously have told them the location of this place, but actually half a month did not find.Jordan is very angry, when angry, everything is not good, fishing for two hours, the shadow of the fish did not see.Faced with a blazing glare cast his way, he chose to look away, "We may have to wait for today ......"Leona didn't say anything, propping herself up on her chin and staring peacefully out to sea.Jordan was inexplicably a l

    Serena went into the restroom and washed the blood from her palms.She glanced at herself in the mirror, probably because she had just vomited blood, her face was a bit pale at this moment.A figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, scaring her so much that she took a step back.Matthew hugged her from behind, his hands encircling her waist, "What's with the expression of having done something wrong, hiding something from me?"Serena shook her head in a hurry, stroking his dark eyes with some heartache, "Actually you don't need to be so anxious to find a doctor, I'm fine.""I can't sleep or eat for a day if I can't find a solution, I've seen Greg, he's withered and thin, I won't allow you to become like that, I'll find a way to cure you."Serena heard this and suddenly felt sad.If they were allowed to meet, why did they have to miss out on so much, why did they have to face a life and death test.She lowered her eyes and buried herself in his arms, "Maxwell ......"She cried out the n

    He stood here for a long time, so long that his legs became a little numb.The distance between them was so close, but in between was like an abyss that couldn't be crossed."Oscar, what the hell are you looking at?"Vincent walked up and followed his line of sight, feeling warily for the gun at his waist when he spotted the man, "Chief, what are you doing here?"The man didn't answer, his eyes a little misty.Vincent hurriedly said to the man at the side, "Oscar, the master is still waiting for us, go back."Oscar nodded his head, no longer lingering, and immediately left here.If he turned around, he would see that so-called thin-skinned man looking at his back with red eyes.He had many dreams where the man in the dream questioned him with a cry why he did it, why he pushed him into the sea."Brother, the sea is cold."He woke up often in a cold sweat, and he told himself he had no regrets.But time passed, and the incident had long since become a demon he didn't want to face.His

    When he thought about it he wasn't at a disadvantage, but there were always a few moments of unwillingness in his heart.It was true that he was passionate about power, but when everything was in his hands, his heart was still empty.There was a black hole in his heart that no amount of power could fill.He looked over at Serena and realized that she was leaning against Matthew, her eyes so determined and dependent.He'd never experienced feelings like that before, maybe once when he was very young.But then he'd strangled it himself, telling himself over and over that he had no regrets.Yet countless nights of tossing and turning, endless guilt and panic were about to overwhelm him.Brother ......He hadn't thought about these two words for a long time, and he didn't deserve to think about these two words.He couldn't even think about what kind of feelings he had pushed that child into the sea in the first place.He had made two decisions in his life that he regretted, the first had

    Is it worth it?There was never any such thing as worth it or not when it came to her, he would do whatever she needed, always.Oscar looked at the two embracing each other and that crazy jealousy came back.After Maxwell became the head of the Harrington family, Oscar had heard about the man's exploits, and everyone talked about how he was stoic and hibernating, how he was undercover, and how he was cold-blooded and ruthless.He sometimes even lamented that he always felt he could be friends with such a Maxwell, because they were people along the way, who could do anything for the sake of their ends.However, he didn't know since when, this man made a mistake, for a woman, gave up the position of the director, for a woman, to make an enemy of the whole sin capital, Maxwell he had changed.Oscar tightened his grip and grabbed Eleanor to him, "Maxwell ...... Once I saw you as my rival, my friend, I never thought you would turn out like this."He lowered his eyes, the bishop in his hand

    A chill came from behind, Serena was almost certain that this man was here waiting for her.Oscar flicked the ashes of his cigarette and slightly inclined his head, his tone was gentle, "You just followed the Grand Elder up there with so much certainty, I knew that you would definitely be able to come out, so I waited for you here."He was always so unhurried and in an elegant state.The night wind suddenly became so strong that Oscar's collar was blown and fluttered, and in the distance even the startled exclamations of the startled bodyguards could be heard.It was all a reminder to Serena that she was running out of time now."Come with me and Eleanor lives, you stay here and Eleanor dies."He laughed softly and came to her, cupping her chin, "That slap just now hurt a little, but I'm not mad, now I'm re-giving you a choice."Serena had no choice, she had to choose him.Like he said, a frenzied Greg would surely kill Eleanor if he stayed here.What if he killed Oscar now?Serena to

    He laughed coldly and looked at Oscar, "If the Director doesn't go up, then I'll bring this woman up first."Oscar stroked his face, his brows already filled with hostility.No one had ever dared to do this to him, Serena was the first.He turned around and suddenly pinched her jaw, hating it.Serena frowned in pain and tried to swat his hand away, but Oscar grabbed her wrist, "I'm the one who told Greg about Eleanor, Serena, do you think you can get her out of there? I urge you to think about my offer now."With that, he stirred his fingers in her hair, rather gently and lovingly, "Otherwise, you'll never see her again."Serena felt more and more that the face in front of her was truly disgusting, she lowered her eyes, her fingertips quietly calming the two snakes on her wrists, "Grand Elder, let's go up."The Grand Elder saw Oscar eat his words, the corner of his mouth coldly hooked, "I thought only Maxwell would be so stupid as to be enamored with a woman, I didn't expect that the
