When they arrived home, Serena didn't have the mood to continue the conversation and quietly went upstairs.Matthew's aura became even colder, watching her leave, his eyes narrowed.Restless. An indescribable restlessness settled within him.The night passed without much conversation between Serena and Matthew.After her request for a divorce was rejected, Serena focused on her work."Mr. Greg wants me and Gloria to go on a business trip?"Upon receiving this task from Ella, Serena frowned.She and Gloria didn't get along, and going on a business trip with her might lead to complications."This is Mr. Greg's arrangement. I believe he wants you two to mend your relationship."Ella had no other choice.With Greg specifically naming them for the trip to the neighboring city, they had to go.Serena did need a change of scenery, so after a brief consideration, she agreed. "When's the afternoon flight?"Ella handed her several plane tickets. "You can bring Ida."Serena nodded.Having Ida by
Harriet's face remained calm. She slowly held Jordan's hand."I've known for a long time that you don't love me. The only reason I can survive is because of this son. If something happens to him because of you, I want you to accompany him in death, Ethan. You better pray that Jordan comes out of this unscathed."Ethan felt a surge of anger filling his chest.Recently, she overheard people gossiping about Don's incident and even learned about him poisoning Matthew's drink.Now, she was using these two pieces of information to threaten him.He had implicated Matthew in his poisoning, believing Matthew was hanging on to life abroad.However, the person abroad was just a decoy, and the real Matthew had established Infinity Realm in Hustleburg.It was a bitter irony."Harriet, Jordan is your son and my son. As a father, how could I harm him?"Harriet sneered coldly. "You can harm even your own brother and nephew. What else can't you do?"Ethan, enraged, slapped her across the face.*Snap!*
Serena emerged an hour later, and seeing him still waiting, she felt a bit guilty."Sorry for keeping you waiting."Robin smiled, returning to his refined demeanor."No problem. It's your first time in Havenbrook, right? I'll take you to try the local specialties."Serena nodded, walking beside him.If Robin remembered correctly, he and Serena were not particularly familiar.In high school, he was the notorious troublemaker while Serena was the teacher's darling, an obedient girl.Such individuals shouldn't have had any interaction.He remembered vividly the day when he had just finished a fight as usual and caught sight of a girl in uniform not far away.(Flashback)The girl was very thin, with fair skin, standing quietly in the sunlight, blinking and staring at him without a word.Several moaning men lay around, and he still held a blood-stained dagger in his hand. He thought she might be scared, couldn't help but sneer."The blood they sprayed dirtied my uniform."He was about to t
Serena was taken aback.She had thought these people were causing trouble for Robin, but she hadn't expected him to say such words."In Havenbrook, no one would dare to openly come after me like this.So these people must be here for you. They want to kill you."Due to the gunshots, the police had arrived, but those men got into their car, chasing them.Robin checked the rearview mirror, saying, "They are from Hustleburg, Serena. Sit tight."With that, he accelerated the car. Serena frowned, using her uninjured hand to grip the handle. "Thank you."If it was people from Hustleburg, it might have something to do with Mira.Recently, Mira was the person she offended the most."No problem. It seems you can't go back to the hotel. I assume there are people waiting for you there as well. I hope the person you called is clever enough to escape. Let me take you to my place. My people will handle the tail."Serena nodded.The sounds of wind and gunfire surrounded them. To kill her, someone wa
Matthew walked downstairs, where Nathan was already waiting respectfully."Is the news confirmed?" he asked coldly.Nathan nod solemnly and continued, "Boss, Mr. Don is indeed still alive. We have found him, but his condition is not good. He has a serious head injury, and it's possible..."Nathan didn't finish his sentence, but Matthew already understood.A head injury, especially a severe one, could lead to significant cognitive impairment.Matthew's aura changed, and his eyes narrowed."Remove the threads that Ethan left. Harriet can't stand those women entangling with Ethan. Tell Harriet that as long as she can find evidence of Ethan's crimes, Ethan will become a vegetable for the rest of his life, with only her by his side."When a woman's love reaches its extreme, it transforms into profound hatred capable of destroying everything.Nathan was about to carry out the instructions when Jo hurriedly approached."Boss, Madam has called me; she encountered an attack in Havenbrook, and
Robin's mood was quite pleasant.Serena called his name so casually; could it be that after this incident, they had become true friends?The doctor arrived promptly, removed the bullet from Ida's leg, and carefully dressed the wound.Ida's gaze remained fixed on Robin.Despite his genteel appearance, she could sense that he was a very dangerous person. She was highly sensitive to dark auras."Madam, who is he?" She asked cautiously.Boss had assigned her to protect Madam."He's my friend," Serena replied calmly, relieved to see the doctor finish the treatment."Madam, this is a man's residence after all. We should leave and go to another hotel," Ida suggested.Her wariness of Robin was high, akin to a fierce cat protecting its food.However, as soon as she spoke, thunder roared outside, and heavy rain began to fall."Stay here tonight. I've arranged rooms for you. Neil, take this young lady to rest," Robin said, appearing by their side.Neil, who was standing nearby, quickly approache
The pilot on the helicopter was sweating profusely."Boss, this is the Franklin's territory. Robin took over as the new head a few years ago. He's ruthless and has quickly subdued all the gangs in Havenbrook. If we make enemies tonight, we might not get away."They had come hastily and didn't bring many people with them.They had tracked Serena's phone and knew she was here, but they hadn't expected it to be the territory of the new head of the Franklin Family.Nathan glanced at the message on his phone and quickly spoke, "Boss, Madam and Ida are both fine. They were rescued by the new head of the Franklin Family. He is an old friend of Madam..."As Nathan said this, he noticed Matthew's face darkening.Since when did the head of the Franklin Family know Serena? What had this woman hidden?At the same time, Ida received a call from Jo and learned that the people in the helicopter were Matthew and his group.She hurriedly went upstairs to find Neil."My Boss is here. We won't be stayin
Serena pursed her lips, blinked her slightly bitter eyes, and weariness etched deeper on her face.Matthew only then noticed her hands wrapped in bandages, and his aura became even more intimidating."What happened to your hand?"Ida, furious, interjected, "Boss, that Gloria spilled coffee on Madam's hand, and Madam's hand blistered on the spot."Matthew was even more infuriated.He even laughed in anger. "Your usual aura against others, and now, one Gloria has made you end up like this?!"Although he mocked her verbally, he still took her hand and examined it carefully when she handed it over.Serena pulled her hand back, saying, "It's just a small injury."Ida was even more displeased. "Where is this a small injury? What's worse is that after Gloria spilled coffee, she deliberately wiped away the blisters, intending to leave a scar on Madam's hand."Matthew's eyes turned crimson, and as the head of the Franklin Family, seeing his wife treated this way, he was not only angry but also
