This night was destined to be restless.On the other side of Hustleburg, people were tossing and turning, and Gabriel had been following the updates, eager to know if those people had succeeded.However, upon learning that Matthew had rushed to Havenbrook overnight, he knew trouble was brewing.Trying to pull back was already too late; the dispatched individuals were wiped out, not a single one returned.Gabriel was dumbfounded, sitting in a daze on the sofa.These were skilled assassins nurtured by the White Family, and losing ten of them was a significant blow.He had underestimated the influence of Havenbrook's dark forces.Fearing the consequences, the living room door was suddenly kicked open, and Antony walked in."Bang!"A cup was thrown at Gabriel, and the shards cut his cheek."Foolish! Utterly foolish! If Matthew finds out you sent people to chase after his wife, do you think he'll spare our White Family? Matthew has concealed himself in Hustleburg for so many years; his met
Serena had a sound sleep, contrary to her expectations.She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but as soon as her head touched the pillow, she entered a realm of dreams. When she woke up, it was already ten in the morning.Ida had been anxiously waiting outside. The Boss had already left, but Madam was still sleeping, and she wondered how long these two would keep up their silent protest.Hearing movement inside, she excitedly knocked on the door, "Madam, are you awake? We should leave for Hustleburg. Maybe we can catch up with the Boss."Serena responded from inside. After a slow morning routine, she opened the door.Ida, in a state of anxiety, urged, "Let's leave now; perhaps we can still catch up with the Boss."Serena furrowed her brows and lowered Ida's hand. "Ida."The way she called her was very solemn, causing Ida to instantly adopt a serious expression. "Madam, what are your orders?""Did Matthew instruct you to be my bodyguard, or is he also using you to monitor my life?
Infinity Realm headquarters.Gloria's cheek bore the mark of a slap. Returning early, Greg had already guessed that her relationship with Serena had soured and couldn't help but hit her.Feeling somewhat indignant, she dismissed it as insignificant. After all, she was just a woman about to become a secondary wife—why bother caring?As she pondered this, Ella walked in.Ella approached her directly, placing a transfer order on her desk. "This is a direct order from the Boss. You're no longer part of the Legal Department. Head to the administrative department."administrative department?Gloria thought she misheard. A high-achieving graduate from a prestigious school like her was being sent to the administrative department?"Is there some mistake?"Ella sneered, "Whether there's a mistake, you know in your heart. During this business trip with Serena, company matters weren't handled, yet you returned early.""That's
Gloria had initially thought that with her father backing her, she would continue to sail smoothly. However, Greg came over shortly after she settled down."I've found you a new position in another company. You'll start this afternoon. Leave your resignation matter to me."Gloria looked at him in disbelief. "Dad, what are you talking about?"Greg sighed. "Gloria, listen to me. If you wait for Boss to take action personally, it won't be as simple as being dismissed. You, being young and impulsive, how could you seek trouble with Serena? I've told you to be patient, but you refused to listen."Tears welled up in Gloria's eyes, and they began to fall. "That woman deserves it! It's not easy for me to enter Infinity Realm. Why should I leave?!"Greg's expression changed, and he raised his hand to give her another slap. "Stubborn! It's not about whether you want to leave or not. Someone will come to pick you up shortly. If you don't leave, you'll only co
The door to the hospital room was pushed open and Gabriel walked in, his face very unattractive."Give me a cigarette." Jordan closed her eyes and said slowly.Gabriel sat down and without hesitation took a cigarette out of the box and lit it himself.Jordan's gaze was demonic, and at that moment, he weakly exhaled a ring of smoke.Gabriel looked all over his body and knew that he was badly injured, "I told you, it's only a matter of time before something goes wrong."Jordan's fingers holding the cigarette wobbled, a somewhat adorable smile on his face, "What do you know, if it wasn't for my Matthew's mercy, I'm afraid what you'd see would be my dead body."Gabriel stood up alertly and unlocked the door, turning to look at him with a frown, "Did Matthew do this?"He didn't know Matthew very well, only that the man didn't seem all that approachable, but he hadn't expected him to be able to lay such a heavy hand on his cousin."Y
A sumptuous meal was served in the evening.Serena sat at the table and had to use a spoon because her hands were clumsy."Madam, aren't you waiting for the master?"The servants of the house asked a little trembling, if Sir got angry, they couldn't afford the consequences."No, I think he's already eating."Serena had just taken her first bite when the door opened and Matthew's figure appeared in the foyer.Matthew took off his jacket and placed it on a coat rack off to the side, then walked slowly toward Serena.The two of them hadn't been on the best of terms lately, so when they bumped into each other at this moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.The servant hurriedly prepared Matthew's dishes and then quietly left, leaving the hall to just the two of them.Serena's hand was injured and a spoon wasn't exactly handy, she was just trying to get a piece of ribs to eat when her hand shook and the ribs flew off the
Both their words had the taste of gunpowder in them, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly became deep and dark, as if a layer of dark clouds were hanging over it.Serena took a deep breath, "And what else? To trust you with my future? Have you forgotten that our contract is only for two years, and after that we'll be divorced, and at best you'll be a guest in my long life, and I'll just be a breeze in your ear, so we don't have to make a scene, and there are some things you just can't force.""I'm inclined to force it."The man's eyes twinkled, and Serena couldn't help but take a step back, a hint of fear coloring her eyes.Suddenly, her waist was hot and it turned out to be his hand wrapped around it."Serena, don't make me angry, I've given in."Serena felt his hand like a fire, and now that they were close, she could smell it clearly."Robin and I are just friends."Despite the words that had just come out of her mouth, she and Robin were clean and indeed just friends.M
Serena let go of her and looked at the woman who had descended into madness with some sadness.What a wonderful person Joanne had been in the beginning to become what she was for a man now.Joanne sneered as she picked up the medicine from the floor and ran like crazy.Serena didn't stop her, she knew Scarlett too well, Scarlett hated Daniel with a passion and would never have his baby, so the information Joanne knew was false or deliberately put out by Scarlett just to keep her in line.Serena was right in thinking that Scarlett did, and the corners of her mouth turned up as she looked at her stomach.After Daniel finds out she's pregnant, he becomes more affectionate, spending whole days with her."Scarlett, have this baby and let's not even fight, okay?"His tone was pleading and he just looked at her.Scarlett's eyes filled with a cold smile as she cuddled tenderly in his arms, "Yeah, whatever you say."Despite her promise, Daniel remained uneasy, and the more submissive she becam
Just now, while she was brooding here, Serena thought a lot about how she was going to make this man suffer, how she was going to make him pay for Mary's death.She thought of one idea after another and finally vetoed one after another."Matthew, do you have any idea how obnoxious you are?"She said, looking up with red eyes and biting her lip.Matthew said nothing and raised a hand to dry the fluffy drizzle from her hair.Serena couldn't bear the depth of his tenderness like that.She shuddered and slapped his hand away, covered her face and began to cry, sorry to Mary, sorry to everyone.She'd never been in such pain, like a wound exposed to the air, blood slowly draining, muscles slowly rotting, every second that passed seemed like a knife cutting through bone.Guilt and panic tortured her heart at all times, lynching her and tearing away flesh and bone marrow piece by piece.Matthew frowned and bent down to take her in his arms, "Serena, what's wrong with you?"He asked cautiously
After exhaling a ring of smoke, his mind suddenly remembered what the woman had just said, "Jordan, do you love me?"Somehow, the person who said those words had suddenly become Serena.Jordan's eyes were confused, and it wasn't until his hand hurt that he looked down and realized that the smoke had burned down to where his fingers were.He stubbed out his cigarette and stared out the window in disbelief.The years had flown by and he had had many women lie in his arms and ask him if he loved them with a look of infatuation and devotion, but how ridiculous that the woman he loved the most had never asked that question.Jordan curled the corners of his mouth, pulled out his cell phone to check the time, and walked out of the room.After hopping into the convertible, he hit the gas and headed straight for Pines Ridge.Coincidentally, Serena came out of the house, saw the car parked next to her, and subconsciously had to swerve to avoid it.But Jordan was quick, getting out of the car an
But the two men's voices never came from behind her, and the corners of her mouth tickled mockingly, no longer curious what they would say, and quickening her own pace.Once she was gone, Nathan spoke again."Boss, I didn't expect Wilbur to betray us, I treated him like my best brother, and he even ......"It was hard to hide the sadness in Nathan's voice and his forehead was tired.Wilbur disappeared for three years, he and Boss are no fools, both are a little suspicious, so they began to investigate what happened to Wilbur in the past three years.Wilbur was his brother, but as long as it was Boss, he had to find out the details.But when you look into it that much, it is actually something that happened three years ago.Three years ago, it was because Wilbur leaked their location that they were ambushed.After checking this out, Boss rushed over in the night and rearranged all the forces in the shadows, just for fear of being taken out of their hideout, after all, Wilbur had always
She asked herself, she was not a kind person, but Wilbur had saved his life at least once, and he was his brother, and he had already knelt down, so sincere and open, that he could not spare his life?If it had been her, she would have kept Wilbur alive instead of just blowing his head off and giving him no chance to live.Now that he talked so easily about sending Wilbur out of the country, it was obvious that it was really cruel.Serena's heart cooled as she became even more skeptical of the secret Wilbur and Matthew were talking about.She had overheard Wilbur's words earlier, and she had been on the defensive against him as a person, but now that she thought about it, Wilbur didn't know that she was hiding in the dark at that time, so how could he have intentionally acted out for her?Not to mention that he had just lost his life. Would a person use his life to put on a show?Was it worth it? What did he get out of it?With these
He smelled of dust and seemed to have been out recently.The corners of Wilbur's mouth turned up, the bottoms of his eyes slightly scarlet."Boss, I think it's time Madam knew these truths.""And what did you say to her?"Accompanying Matthew's grim voice was the sound of a bullet being loaded, and with a single tick of his fingertip, Wilbur would be lifeless.Wilbur looked up, not in the least intimidated by the muzzle of the gun pressed against his head, but with a cheerful expression on his face."It's a shame Madam isn't here, or she'd know how desperate the men she cares for really are."Matthew's face immediately grimaced and his eyes narrowed."Boss, all the happiness you have now is stolen, do you think Madam will stay by your side when she finds out about all this? You'll be a sinner by then.""My business is not your business.""I just feel sorry for Madam."Matthew ticked the corner of his mouth
"I have raised you for so many years! Not for you to step into a man's trap with one unproductive foot, if you mess with him again, I'll have him blocked tomorrow!""Don't you dare! If you block him, I'll tell everyone in Hustleburg what you did, and let them know that Mr. Greg of Infinity Realm forced himself on a woman with a group of people! Humiliated someone to death!!!""Pop!"Another hard slap and Gloria's face was deflected with a somewhat contemptuous mouth hook.Greg's face turned red and he snapped, "What are you babbling about?!"Gloria wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with sharp sarcasm."I already knew it, don't pretend, you said drunken things when you were drunk, and said that the woman cried so sadly before she died, but you all didn't have a soft heart, and tortured her to death alive, dad, my character is like you, people say there is a father like you, you are such a no-good person, how can I be better!"Greg couldn't get a word out, he
Serena couldn't care less about Daniel and rushed to say quietly, "I'm here Scarlett, just hang in there."Scarlett smiled to herself, no blood on her face, "Daniel, can you go out first?"Her words were full of mockery, even the bottom of her eyes were filled with mockery.Daniel stiffened and stood up, taking a step toward the door.It was only a moment after the door closed that Scarlett bit her lip, her hand squeezing the sheet tightly."Serena, I'm dying.""No way!!!"Serena, filled with fear, held her hand in place to keep from hurting herself.Scarlett turned her head with difficulty and looked at her guiltily."Serena, the only person in this world I've ever apologized to is you, I don't deserve a tombstone, so when I die, donate all my organs, and burn what's left in a fire, scatter the ashes by the side of the road, don't go home, don't go to the grave, don't reincarnate, and better yet, the soul should be scattered so that it can wash away the sins in my body, and also so t
Serena's excitement slowly faded as her breathing began to slow and her hands began to squeeze and squeeze harder."Husband?"She rubbed her eyes, and the next thing she knew, she was flattened out in a recliner.Matthew kissed her gently, cupping the back of her head and undoing her buttons one by one with his mouth.Serena's face flushed and she looked away, "What are you doing?"Gasping for breath, Matthew scooped her into a hug, desperately trying to suppress the emotions that were about to spill out."Do you want to stay here or go to your room?"Serena tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.Matthew couldn't hold back any longer and scooped her up in a hug and headed back to the bedroom.The servant, seeing them head on, hastily lowered his eyes and looked at them.Serena had been drinking and it was coming back to her, and just after she was tucked into bed, she could no longer see much of anything.Just to lean against him and get some warmth from
Matthew carried on, not noticing her bend, and bubbles continued to boil in his heart at the thought of her waiting for him outside.After dinner, the two of them sat on the couch watching TV like a normal young couple.Serena opened her mouth, still unable to resist saying something about Wilbur, but just as her lips opened, Nathan walked in from outside."Boss, there's another impromptu meeting you need to handle."Matthew's brow furrowed in obvious exhaustion, and he braced himself to get up when he heard the words.But after a few steps he turned his head and smiled at Serena, "I'll be done by twelve and then I'll take you to the fireworks."Serena's heart fluttered instantly and her mind grew much warmer.It was Mary's first New Year without her, and she thought she would have a lonely time, not realizing that this man would take care of her feelings in every way, take her shopping for New Year's Eve, and even think of going to the fireworks with her.She lowered her eyes, sudden
