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
As Serena mulled over the shocking revelation about Matthew's identity, her mind raced.Nobody would expected the man rumored to be seriously ill to be the mastermind behind Infinity Realm..She was left momentarily speechless.Matthew, lying on the hospital bed, slowly closed his eyes, his expression masked in a cold demeanor.Finally, after some time, Serena summoned the courage to sign the document, though her hand trembled slightly.She handed it to the waiting doctor, who promptly left the room.However, Serena still found herself in an awkward position.That night when she hugged him and kept saying she wanted to be sugar mommy came back to haunt her, oh my!That's just quite the same as cheating on her husband in front of him isn't it?Serena just felt her scalp tingle!She wanted to address him but struggled to find the right words.With impatience creeping into his voice, Matthew said, "You can go now."Serena tried to speak, attempting to call him Matthew, but she stumbled o
The car accident scene was nothing short of tragic.The drunken driver was already under control, the taxi driver lost his life on the spot, and Serena, who had been sitting in the back, miraculously escaped with her life.However, her legs had been severely injured, and from the moment she regained consciousness, she couldn't feel them. They seemed like they no longer belonged to her.Terrified to touch her legs or ask questions about her condition, Serena lay in her hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.She'd rather die than lose her legs!These were her dancing legs.When she had first discovered that man's love for ballet, she had devoted herself to learning the dance, determined to perform at the school gala.Despite Evelyn's insistence that she didn't hail from the proper background for such an elegant dance, Serena had pursued it relentlessly.The gala had rewarded her with thunderous applause, a testament to her stubborn and defiant nature.It was ingrained in her to f
Within moments, Jennifer was pushed into the hospital room.Upon seeing Matthew inside, she was a little stunned but quickly composed herself with a smile."Serena Wilson, you really can't stay away from men! Isn't it enough that you just stole someone's boyfriend at school? How long has it been since you've had another one?" Jennifer taunted.Serena raises an eyebrow, and it looks like Catherine brainwashed her pretty successfully."Catherine told you? Jennifer, I don't seem to have any beef with you. Will you be too vicious this time?"Jennifer's mocking smile didn't waver. She ruffled her own hair and retorted, "I've long since grown tired of seeing you! Poor people like you deserve to die!"Serena found the situation amusing and couldn't help but burst into laughter."I suddenly understand why Catherine chose you—very brainless indeed."Jennifer's face froze, and her eyes narrowed in anger."What do you mean?"Serena didn't answer but turned to Nathan in the doorway."Nathan, call
Robert figures that with him personally getting down on his knees and admitting fault for his daughter, normal people would be too busy to stop it and then forgive Jennifer for what she's done.Jennifer had been punished anyway, there was no need to keep harping on it.Unfortunately, Serena was never normal.Serena looked at Robert with a smile that held a hint of threat, "Mr. Robert, I don't have time to witness your father-daughter love drama. If you want to protect her, hand over the bracelet that Samantha gave her initially. It will be better for both of us."Despite the seemingly pleasant smile, Serena's words carried an unsettling undertone.She had gone to investigate that day after hearing what her stepsister had said, and learned that her mother's bracelet had been given to Jeniffer, and now was the perfect opportunity to get it back.Immediately, sweat broke out from Robert's forehead, and his body, which was supposed to be kneeling down, gradually stood up."Jennifer, where
When Serena wakes up, she realizes that she's not in a hospital, but in the Eaglecrest Estate, Grandpa's residence, where the doctor says she just choked on the water, nothing serious, and her leg has been re-bandaged.Richard sits in shock in the living room with Robert and Greedella kneeling on the floor as they all wait for her to wake up.Serena coughed, when she heard what the servants had told her, a slight red coloring in her eyes."Is the wound on your back okay?"As she watched the doctor change Matthew's medication, she realized that his back was so badly injured.His back was also soaked when he carried her up in the pool."Hmm."Matthew closed his eyes weakly, his forehead furrowed imperceptibly a few times.The doctor applied the medicine and gave a few more instructions before leaving.He put his jacket back on, moving a little slowly."This is bracelet in the pool, it's fake."His voice didn't waver as he placed the bracelet in front of Serena.A trace of warmth crossed
"That picture? I just found it online." Serena replied carelessly.The corner of Matthew's eye twitched and even Richard coughed nonchalantly.So it was all made up, and they almost believed it.Richard got up, and went upstairs to rest, wanting to leave the two of them alone for a while.Serena waited for him to leave before slowly curling her lips, torturing her heart was the best, Greedella would be in pain from now on, even if she was in jail."Ho-Honey, you must have someone at the police station, right?"Her expectant eyes looked at Matthew, although it was not the first time she called this title, but she also felt a little shy, the tips of her ears were slightly red.Matthew pursed his lips.Damn it! He couldn't say no to her!"Uh-huh.""Then have your people keep a good lookout and don't let Greedella's husband visit her."Greedella's personality was bad, but she had probably spent all her good fortune in life on her marriage.Her husband was an honest man, through and throug
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
