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 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

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?

    Serena couldn't say a word, only shed tears and her body went limp.I don't know how long it took, but Matthew finally stopped and leaned over her, his forehead against hers, "Don't let me know you're in contact with him, or I don't know what I'll do."Serena's face was streaked with tears and she raised her hand to slap him, but Matthew caught her hand in his, his eyes cold.She tugged at her lips in mockery, suddenly remembering what she had heard in the hospital, he had said he loved her, was that his love?Hurting her, humiliating her, and this was what he called love?"Matthew, if that's what you call love in your mouth, I'd rather not."Matthew said nothing, helped her dress and carried her to his bedroom.Serena didn't have the strength to resist anymore, so she was put on the bed and watched quietly as the man went into the bathroom and filled the tub with hot water.When the hot water was running, he came back and scooped her up and put her in the tub.He can't wait on people

    "Matthew, did you see me before we got married?"Matthew's eyes narrowed and he leaned forward slightly, staring intently into her face, "Never seen her before, why?"Serena was even more confused and was about to say something about Judy when Nathan walked in from outside and she had to shut up.Nathan had brought in the company pieces, and when he saw the two men standing by the door, he thought they had had another argument, so he didn't dare say anything for a while.Matthew took the piece he was holding and looked at Serena, "Follow me to the den."Serena pursed her lips, knowing the man was going to ask about small children, and followed him anyway.Matthew turned on the computer and punched in a series of codes, and thousands of strings of data interspersed with English and Arabic numerals appeared, flashing constantly on the screen.Matthew's hacking skills were strong, Serena let out this heartfelt exclamation.And I don't know how he did it, but he actually pulled up the sur

    Serena's palms clenched for a moment, her nails digging into her flesh, "Judy, did you see that man?"Judy shook her head, seeing that her mood was off, and rushed to reassure her."Serena, I thought this time when I came back you would ask me for something right away, I didn't realize that you weren't able to remember me, I'm sorry, it's because I'm in a hurry, I've been waiting for you all this time, but you're too late to come to me, that's why I decided to look for the door, this bracelet can't be given to you for the time being, come back to me when you remember it.""Other than that, Judy, what else do you know? I've recently fallen into a fog, everyone says I once gave birth to a child, but in my memories there is no such part as giving birth to a child, my brain hasn't been injured, let alone amnesia, all the memories are articulated so naturally, so can you tell me what you know, all of it?"Judy, also experiencing this for the first time, sighed."Serena, I didn't have much

    Every cell in Serena's body was boiling, but she couldn't fight back.All her strength was like a stone sinking into the sea, and Matthew easily took all her power.Tired of struggling, she broke into a sweat and her sanity gradually returned.Matthew, on the other hand, was not the least bit affected, ruffling her hair in front of her as if he was deliberately waiting for her emotions to calm down.Serena was never out of control in front of outsiders, but as long as Matthew was around, she couldn't help herself and her true temper was exposed.At that moment, she was panting softly, the tip of her nose covered in sweat.Matthew took the paper from his side and wiped the tip of her nose.Serena tilted her head to avoid it, but his hand never let go."Serena, I didn't want to shoot him that night, Wilbur, even though he betrayed me, even though he almost got me killed three years ago, I didn't want to take his life, he pulled the trigger himself and killed himself, I was surprised at

    But at that moment, a sharp thorn suddenly appeared, shattering all illusions.Serena wasn't sure why she had deleted the call with the little girl, she had a feeling in her heart that she couldn't let Matthew know about the child.She had been talking to the child on and off for the past few days, the little girl knew Vincent and seemed to be extremely close to him, and Vincent was Matthew's enemy, so the little girl's position was naturally on Matthew's opposite side.Matthew's eyes were thick, melting ink, and even his forehead had turned to a white frost.He pulled out his own cell phone and dialed the string of numbers as Serena watched.Serena's heart was in her throat; it turned out he knew all along.Matthew didn't put it on speaker, he put the phone to his ear and a man's voice came over the side, "Serena?"Matthew felt only the tip of his heart being bitten by a viper, and his hawkish eyes, filled with severity, instantly turned to Serena.As he hung up, he almost forced his

    He hung up the phone in a hurry, his back sweating.He noticed that Serena was staring at him, his brow furrowed, "What are you looking at, drive."Serena didn't say anything as she kept her foot on the accelerator.The car soon stopped where the man had requested and instead of going straight down, he said to her, "Wait for me here, I have to be picked up later."Serena pursed her lips in agreement.Ten minutes after the men left, the smell of blood was heavy and the sound of wolves howling filled the air.It took a lot of determination not to drive away.A few minutes later, she saw the man coming out of the abandoned factory with the white wolf behind him.Serena had thought a lot after he had left, she had even considered calling Nathan and the others, after all, this Vincent was the one they were looking for, but at this moment, when she saw the man coming back, she had nothing left to think about.The man's eyes were full of indifference to life, and he sat back weakly in the ca

    Serena knew he was talking about herself, and with a slightly unnatural look on her face, she walked over to the bed, only to find that the divorce papers were still on the pillow.Looking at them now, it's actually a little embarrassing.Matthew, however, carefully picked up the divorce papers and placed them in a side cabinet.Serena's sharp eye spotted another divorce agreement in the cabinet; both she and Matthew had divorced several times since they'd been married.What started out as him wanting a divorce ended up as her wanting a divorce.Her lips pursed at the corners and she sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a solemn expression, "Matthew, the next question I ask you, you need to answer me seriously."Matthew froze, a smile crossing his eyes, "Uh, yeah."Serena moved closer, her eyes meeting his, "Did you know I had a baby?"Matthew nodded, the smile in his eyes a little brighter, "If you're asking me where the baby is and who the man you had the baby with is, Se

    When she finished, she looked at Serena.Serena immediately realized that she was expected to leave.She lifted her foot to leave, but her wrist was pulled by Matthew, "Sit properly."Serena lowered her eyes, not sure if it was her illusion, this Sherry had been very hostile towards her when she first came in.When Sherry saw this scene, she didn't hesitate any longer."Boss, I've already finished dealing with the shadow forces, but this person seems to be well aware of the arrangement of your forces, boss, and has sent several people to test the waters, but there's no friction with us, and they seem to be simply passing through our territory, including our very hidden meeting places, where his people will also appear."Matthew has a nemesis, and as anyone who follows him knows, the two have an irreconcilable grudge and even hate each other at times.Yet over the years, no one has made the first move except to test each other.Matthew narrowed his eyes, the forces in the shadows had b

    Yes, before she was in the hospital room, she was being sarcastic about Serena, saying that she's the one who's going to jail tonight.Once in the hospital room, however, she saw the way Matthew looked at Serena, as if in his eyes, whatever was worth forgiving was worth forgiving as long as it was Serena.She had lost, she had tried to act pathetic to get the man to notice her, but the moment he opened his mouth, he shooed her away, seeming to loathe the thought of looking at her more than once.The closest she and Matthew had come to each other was when the man was herbal.If she had been willing to offer herself, if she had pushed that door open then, maybe everything would have been different, but she had missed it.So when she left the hospital, she couldn't wait to get to the Ignite Spirits Bar, just to see if she had a chance to get out of the embarrassing situation she was in today.She sees no hope in Matthew.Whether it's Jordan or Gabriel, who once humiliated her, she doesn'
