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..." The surrounding onlooker
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
Serena frowned and looked at him with questioning eyes.Nathan saw her doubt and introduced himself with a smile, "Madam, I'm Nathan, the assistant to the president of this company. Boss asked me to come and take you to the legal department."Serena instantly realized that her boss was that man!A dawning smile immediately appeared on her face as she nodded slightly to Nathan and replied, "Good morning, Nathan""Let me show you over, your coworkers are already waiting for you."Serena noddedand was led by Nathan into the renowned legal department.With a gracious demeanor, Serena offered a slight bow and spoke sincerely, "My name is Serena...."The department rarely saw new arrivals, and when such a beautiful one appeared, the male employees couldn't help but be captivated.Some colleagues enthusiastically welcomed her, but a few other colleagues regarded her with less than welcoming eyes."Welcome!""Feel free to ask me any questions you have!"The office was instantly buzzing with a
Serena sighed, seemingly speaking to herself, "I've always wondered what you would look like."Matthew pursed his lips, eager to hear more.However, Serena offered only a brief statement before falling silent, her gaze returning to the file on the table.Matthew's thoughts briefly went blank.What does she mean by that?Was she disappointed with his appearance?"I didn't want to keep it from you. I knew you didn't care about me, so there was no need to explain," Matthew explained.The two aren't talking about the same things, but inexplicably they can also converse...Serena stood up to pour a glass of water for Matthew."Boss, I am not blame you. You really don't have to explain yourself to me.""Boss, please have some water," she offered.Matthew raised his gaze, looking directly at her. "You call me boss?"A wry smile tugged at the corner of Serena's mouth.What does he mean? Isn't that what Nathan calls him?Matthew took the glass, his fingertips grazing it twice.He spoke softly,
Edward hesitated for a moment, standing nearby.Richard's eyes glared at him, "Are you deaf?"Edward glanced at Matthew, who remained silent and composed.Sighing, Edward ordered someone to put the whip aside."Sir, are you sure about this..."Matthew's a adult. This isn't going to solve anything at all."Sure about what? I'm sure going to educate my grandson on what makes a real man!"Matthew stood up, his expression cold."Grandpa, even if you whip me, I still want a divorce."Richard was incensed, his breathing heavy, and he pointed his trembling finger outside, "Kneel! Edward,my whip!"Matthew offered no resistance and obediently knelt on the floor.Edward gripped the whip and hesitated for a moment, but Richard's icy glare pushed him to swing the whip.*Snap! Snap!*Edward lashed Matthew with precision, avoiding vital areas, but ensuring that the blows broke the skin.Blood soon began to seep from Matthew's back.He didn't flinch, and the beads of sweat on his forehead merged int
Upon arriving at the hospital, she noticed that it was the same hospital where her grandmother was being treated.The urgency of the situation was evident from Nathan's worried expression and his brisk pace.Serena didn't have time to think about it. She hoped to discuss her thoughts on the trial with him, it just so happens that now is the time!As they entered the hospital room, she saw that man, who appeared pale, sitting up with a document in his hand.Matthew looked up slowly when he heard the door open, his gaze settling on Serena."Boss," Serena greeted him with a polite nod, walking over to his hospital bed and taking a seat.Nathan, who had been escorting Serena, observed the interaction between the two, noting the sudden coldness in Serena's demeanor towards boss.What happened? Hadn't the two of them gotten along well before?He decided to give them some privacy and discreetly closed the door.Matthew put aside the papers he had been examining and cleared his throat.His fac
The sudden dog food made Scarlett feel very heartbroken, she lowered her eyes and was just about to say something when Serena's voice rang out again, "Scarlett, tomorrow is your birthday, let's have a birthday party for you."So she still remembers ......The haze in Scarlett's heart was instantly dispelled, she raised her eyes, "Sure, Serena."A few people finished eating, Scarlett made a scene to go back with Serena, Lucien hastened to hold her shoulders, "Don't fool around, people Serena just came back, the little two still have a lot to say."Scarlett skimmed her face and sullenly got into the car parked outside.Lucien snorted and followed him up.Serena took Matthew's arm, "It's been a year and the two of them still haven't made any progress, Scarlett is heavy-hearted now, so I guess it's not that easy to start another relationship.""Didn't you come over for a movie today?""Scarlett introduced another powerful actor from K Group, lowered the pay, as a way to return my favor, a
Which of course included Lucien and Scarlett.Scarlett had her head down, quietly sipping her milk, eyes downcast, and looking like she didn't want to talk about anything.Lucien came to her and propped his hands on the wall behind her, "Scarlett, coming to my place tonight?"Scarlett didn't say anything and threw her milk in the trash.Lucien's eyes dimmed, Scarlett had gotten colder since Serena had disappeared.Yes, it was because of Serena that she was willing to sign him in the first place, Serena was the only person she cared about in the world.He quickly adjusted himself and continued to post up, "Scarlett, tomorrow is your birthday, we can ......"However before the words were finished, Scarlett was interrupted, "Lucien, after annoying me for a year, aren't you tired?""Not tired.""But I am a little tired."After living in these pleasure grounds all day, forcing smiles and seeing all kinds of falsehoods, she would never have someone like Serena in her life again.Lucien's fe
"Uh-huh."She replied wiltingly, looking uninspired.Oscar's eyes lit up and he made a move to pounce on her, but halfway through the pounce, he was pulled by the back of his collar, "Oscar, men and women are different."As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Oscar fell asleep and smashed his head on the bed.Serena huffed, she really hadn't changed at all, just as bubbly, just as innocent.Two or three minutes later, Oscar woke up, rubbing his eyes, and hastily grabbed Matthew's arm, "Maxwell, you have to help me, that stalker named Barton is at it again ......""Pfft!"Serena, sitting on the bed, burst out laughing, propping her chin up, "Oscar, you're as cute as ever."Oscar froze and looked over at her, "Serena?"Exactly the same expression, exactly the same question.Serena was instantly relieved, she should feel thankful that at least her memories didn't last only a few seconds like Oscar's, or that she didn't pass out indiscriminately.She was in a good enough state now th
Verna rubbed her head, her head hurt.Her hand was suddenly pulled by a small hand, Leona looked at her worriedly, ''Mommy, you were very weak when you left, you couldn't see anything, you were as thin as a pair of forks, as if you were going to fall down when the wind blew, at that moment, you were dead set against leaving Daddy, you said that there was a destiny in life and death, you didn't want to turn into someone else, and you also ...... You even slapped Daddy, what Daddy and I want is for you to be with us, not to spend the rest of our lives missing you."Leona grew up and became much more understanding, she pursed her lips and seemed to be depressed as she thought about that time."After you left, daddy ran over there every day, just afraid that you wouldn't last, that aunt had people contact daddy several times to let us prepare for the aftermath, you don't know how we all got through it, we missed you every day, and I was constantly worried that I would turn into a child wi
It's a road of no return ......Verna looked at her hands and touched her face again, dropping her eyes, "Sign it."After Nathan took the contract away, Tiffany kept staring at Verna in disbelief, "You ..... ...Verna, you have nightmares every night and call out someone's name, I think it's your loved ones."Verna took a fruit knife aside and stared at it, "Really?"Tiffany jumped in shock and held her wrist in place, "Verna, I know you've suffered a lot, those herbs are hard to drink, and you don't know what you've been through in your past, but it's all going to be okay."Verna gave her a look and took a piece of fruit aside and peeled it, "I just want to eat the fruit, Tiffany, why are you nervous."Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief before holding her forehead, "Verna, the first time I met you, you were in a nightmare that night, talking nonsense all the time, I'm sure your past wasn't very pretty."Verna quietly peeled her apple, the corner of her mouth curved, "Tiffany, I'm a lit
The car door was opened and Matthew helped Verna down.Tiffany froze and seeing the face, she quickly stood up straight respectfully, "Sir?"Matthew of Infinity Realm Group!Why was he with Verna?She was just about to go forward to help Verna when she was politely pushed away by the man, "Lead the way."Tiffany shivered in fear and dizzily led the way in front, feeling like her legs were stepping on cotton.She was hallucinating, wasn't she?After opening the door, Matthew saw the cramped space and his brows tightened, "Why do you live in such a shabby little place?"Tiffany blushed, "Sir, two people living in an eighty square foot place is already not small.""Tomorrow someone will come to pick you up to live somewhere else."Tiffany didn't say anything and glanced at Verna who was leaning against Matthew's arms, the guy was probably already disoriented, her stamina wouldn't last long.Verna and Sir in the end what is the relationship, how to feel Sir some ...... attentive."Sir, yo
Verna's head hurt and her chest hurt, like a sharp knife stabbing there repeatedly.A person who didn't know the past was like being stuck in a quagmire with darkness all around.Tiffany said that she was pretty and easy to lose in this circle, those investors like to take advantage of women, she is still an eighteen line, and there is still a lot to face in the future.When she woke up, she often leaned against the window and stared, thinking about what kind of person she was before the coma, and why she had ended up in this situation.She knew nothing, so every step she took was like stepping on the tip of a knife.Until she met him, this cold man.She couldn't help but speak out of turn and say things that were off-putting.He must have thought that she was the kind of woman who had her heart set on climbing up the ranks of the powerful.Yes, he must have felt that way.But she wasn't that kind of woman, it was just that the first time she saw him, it was as if she was struck by so
Verna touched her face and lowered her eyes.Fatherless, motherless, no relatives, no past, heaven-sent, and entering the entertainment industry that eats people without spitting out their bones, how do you look at it, it's like going to send people's heads."Tiffany, I know."Tiffany took her down for a walk, and after just one lap around the neighborhood, Verna was exhausted, her forehead covered in a weak sweat.When she got back, she went to the bathroom and took a shower, lying on her bed in her pajamas and fidgeting.Tonight was when that drama was going to air, and it was hard for her to fight for the chance to be the third female, so let's hope she won't be disappointed.Tiffany had been keeping watch outside and seeing that the first episode would be aired soon, she hurriedly came to Verna's door, "Little Flower, the drama is about to start, aren't you coming out to take a look?"However, when she entered the door, she realized that Serena had already fallen asleep, still mum
Heh, good one, if she lives, I can find her.The woman's mouth curled into a sneer, and she looked down to caress the bracelet in her hand, dropping her eyes."You go back and bring her, I'll say in advance, the method I used to fight poison with poison, her body and bones may become very weak, but as long as they are properly regulated, they will be able to return to normal, I've carefully studied these few cases, not only did they die very quickly, but a few days before their deaths, they were already in a state of blindness, so don't delay here, if Serena really comes to the blindness, those eyes will never be saved by me."Matthew's body stiffened and his face went a little pale, "I don't understand what you mean.""If I'm right, Serena had an attack before you came, she just hid it from you for fear of you worrying, you'd better go back as soon as possible."No sooner had she finished her words than she saw that Matthew had gotten up and was striding away.Only Robin was still kn
