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
