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
Daniel shuddered and slowly walked over and sat down in front of her, "Was it Joanne who drugged you? Tell me, was it her?"Tonight's soup was made by the servants themselves, which would make sense if Joanne had paid the servants."Haven't you already guessed, but I don't think you will do anything to Joanne, after all I already suffered at her hands a few years ago, this time she just got our baby killed, no big deal."Daniel couldn't stand it when she made snide remarks like that and his eyes reddened instantly."So you knew there was medicine in that soup, didn't you, and you drank it ...... You hate me so much ..... Scarlett, you hate me so much that you're willing to hurt yourself ......"His speech stopped and he looked like he'd been slashed in the chest.Scarlett looked up and saw him crying, tears already streaming down his face.Her eyes felt like they had been burned, she slowly lifted her hand and wiped it for him, "Daniel, I told you in the beginning not to bother me aft
When he was done, Daniel got up and put a check on the bed, "The last time you slept with that kid for one night, it seemed like three hundred thousand as well, you're not very good and your limbs are stiff, I can give this amount just for the sake of our past friendship, take care of your body and I'll come when I want to."Scarlett didn't say a word, her hands hidden under the covers slowly clenching together as she stood up and threw the check at Daniel from her bed.Daniel sneered, "Too little?"Scarlett gasped, her mouth full of blood."Why should I make such a deal with you? Wouldn't it be better if I went to someone else? At least you won't be guilty of nausea."Daniel felt like there were thick steel needles piercing his heart as he looked at her disgusted forehead and suddenly laughed softly, "You mean you'd rather be forced by another man than be with me?""Yes!"Scarlett's words hit home and made the man's heart skip a beat."Well, I'll satisfy you when you're better."Dani
She didn't feel guilty about taking the baby out of her womb, she remembered standing up to Daniel a few years ago about what would happen if she got pregnant.At the time, her physiological period had been delayed by ten days and she was vaguely uncomfortable.Joanne had been beaten at the time, and there was nothing to come back from, yet she was delusional enough to try to win the slightest bit of mercy from a man by getting pregnant herself.She would always remember the look on his face at that moment, he gave her a disgusted look as if he was looking at a pile of garbage, "You don't deserve to give me a child, and I won't let this bitch live".At that moment, it was as if all the love and hate had vanished, and she stared at him in a daze, as if she didn't recognize this man.His coldness and disgust eventually eroded the last vestiges of warmth in her heart.She didn't cry when Joanne was deliberately pinned under the wheels of her car, she didn't cry when she was left out in t
Matthew's eyebrows furrowed when he heard her answer like that, he had wanted to break the cold silence between them, but when he saw her nonchalant attitude, he was actually a bit speechless at that moment."This isn't the way home." Serena looked out at the rapidly disappearing street scene, a little confused."Well, there's a barbecue on the hill tonight, lots of people, and tomorrow's the weekend, so I thought I'd show you around."A barbecue party?Serena became a little more interested, but when the car pulled up and she looked at the pile of familiar upper-class faces, her lips pursed, and to her surprise, Daniel was there, but instead of Scarlett, he was accompanied by a girl she didn't recognize, with a youthful look that had nothing on Scarlett's beauty.Scarlett is an open and passionate beauty, with some forced taste, but this girl is like a budding daisy, at first glance a school girl.A sneer curled the corners of her mouth, changing her tastes so quickly.Matthew didn't
