"Matthew, I heard my sister-in-law wasn't feeling well, so I came to check on her."
Matthew's face immediately darkened, it was unheard of for him to come and see his sister-in-law sending roses.
"Boo!"
The door slammed shut on him without hesitation.
The smile on Jordan's face froze and the corners of his mouth curled up as he began to shout, "I definitely don't mean that to my sister-in-law, I just came to see how she was doing physically and maybe she'll be a lot happier once I'm here and have someone to talk to?"
"Get out!"
Matthew's voice came from inside, and Jordan, not at all surprised, raised an eyebrow, a hint of something else crossing his eyes.
From the looks of it, Serena hadn't gotten into a fight with Matthew, which wasn't something he was happy about, but there were long days ahead.
They shouldn't be boring.
And in the room, Matthew's face was so dark it could almost drip, and when he looked up, he saw Se
When he was done with all the pieces for the day, his hand went back up and with one last grit of his teeth, he opened the bag.He didn't rush through the results at the end, but he read every word he saw, bit by bit, carefully, from top to bottom, as if he were reading an important work.It seemed as if a century had passed between them, until his eyes fell on the final result.He remained in that position without moving, his eyes just staring.That day he had told the doctor to let him know as soon as he had the results, but in the end he had decided to let Nathan bring the information to him himself, so that the expectation in his heart would remain, or at least not be immediately dashed.He was thinking so hard that Serena was standing behind him and he didn't even know it."What are you checking this for?"Serena frowned, this man was quietly checking to see if she was pregnant behind his back?Matthew looked as if he had
"Your granddaughter comes from a lowly background and imitates my daughter in every way, presuming to fly up the branch to become a phoenix, I advise you to teach her well, if you can't educate her, don't blame us for helping you educate her.""She just doesn't deserve to follow in the footsteps of my family's Jack, I advise her to realize her own identity sooner, since you are her grandmother, advise her well, with the effort of connecting with others, it's better to improve herself, so as not to have to rely on her own body to earn even scholarships in the end, I'm afraid you don't know it, but your granddaughter and those old and unimaginable professors are getting close, and at first glance, the relationship is not normal."They said all the insults they could that day, and I heard that Mary collapsed not long after they left.Then came the hospitalization, a time when Serena was working several jobs a day and finally had little time to bother Jack.M
Melody teased a few times and hung up the phone, her face immediately sinking as she immediately called Jack.Jack was sitting at the bar, reeking of alcohol.There were quite a few women around who wanted to come over and hit on him, after all Jack was really good looking and had that disheveled air about him that was very appealing, like a nobleman who had fallen off the face of the earth.But they had just made their move when they were stopped by a petite woman, "He's mine".Molly's face was expressionless, small for a group of women, but not at all imposing.A couple of women looked her up and down and laughed petulantly, "Little sister, it looks like you don't come to the bar very often, so it's better to go back earlier so you don't get eaten by others without any bones left."Molly, however, pretended not to hear the words and narrowed her eyes slightly, "I said he's mine and I'll kill anyone who hits on him."The women's faces changed, and one of the leaders raised her hand d
"All the more reason for you to leave him then, or he'll die, and die hard."Molly didn't deny it, dropping her eyes slightly, "I know it's not much longer, I just want to be by his side for a while... Why did you come to see me?""It's good that you can find out for yourself, and if you have time, keep an eye out for a woman named Serena for me."The man said lightly, a hint of sadness on his brow, Serena's face was one he always felt he had seen somewhere, but could never remember.Keep an eye on Serena?Serena wasn't even in the same world as them, so what was the point of staring at her all of a sudden?"What do I have to do? Kill her?"The man patted the white wolf's head, the corners of his mouth turned up, "No, I have a feeling she's useful, you just have to keep an eye on her, you don't have to do anything."Molly nodded and turned to walk towards Jack.And the man took the white wolf and left the place.Jack had waited in the car like a walking corpse, his eyes staring blankl
In the hospital corridor, the atmosphere was like ice.Serena felt her chest tighten and wondered how this sudden news would change her life."Are you deaf? I'm telling you again! THE WEDDING is in the THREE DAYS later!"The women yelling angrily was Michelle, Serena's stepmother.She stood there with distant and disgusted expression even on her exquisitely made-up face, her voice full of ruthlessness and mockery, looking very impatiently at the quiet and silent young woman in front of her.Serena froze in place with her head down, the news like a pot of cold water suddenly poured over her head, catching her off guard.She slowly looked up at the hideous woman in front of her and snapped softly,"Me?"Faced with Serena's insensitivity, Michelle couldn't hide her displeasure.She scowled as if Serena was a lowly, insignificant person, her words filled with coldness and sarcasm,"Don't you dare put on a pity face! Thank your good father for that! Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to
The car navigated through half of the city and soon arrived at the Harrington family's residence, known as the Harrington Grand Estate.The gates swung open, and the grand mansion loomed majestically within, serving as the abode of some of the most influential figures in Hustleburg.It was a place of opulence and excitement, held in high esteem, yet also renowned for its cold and unforgiving ambiance.For Serena, it was akin to moving from one kind of torment to another.As she drove around the expansive garden, she noticed a sleek black Bentley parked not far away.The occupant of the Bentley remained still, but the driver promptly exited and approached it with an air of respect.Serena couldn't help but cast a curious glance at the slowly lowering car window, revealing the man's side profile.His presence exuded a regal aura, his impeccably tailored suit lacking even the slightest wrinkle. His handsome and aloof side profile appeared sharply defined amid the interplay of light and s
Infinity Realm Inc.The top-floor office exuded an icy chill, and Matthew's eyes displayed emotions hidden from the onlookers."Is this the best solution you could devise after two hours of deliberation?"His voice was deep, frigid, and commanding, and his furrowed brows made the few people in front of him break out in cold sweat."Boss, we will work diligently to come up with a flawless solution as soon as possible."Several individuals wiped the sweat from their foreheads, their lips parched."Tomorrow at the latest, get out."Matthew massaged his forehead, inexplicable irritation gnawing at his heart.A few of them wished they had wings to escape the office immediately.The office hasn't been quiet for long, the mobile phone in Matthew’s pocket rang, there was no need to wonder who was on the other end of the line."Grandpa," he answered meekly after pressing the answer button."Where are you now?" Richard's voice was gruff, tinged with irritation."I'm at the company.""The compa
Matthew hesitated for a brief moment, a rare phenomenon for a man who had always been cold, unwavering, and unyielding.He thought he was the only one who didn't care about this marriage, he now realized that this woman was just as uninterested as he was, and that she had married into it without even knowing who her husband was from beginning to end.For the first time in his life, With an uncharacteristic hint of hesitation, Matthew responded, "Sure."Serena nodded, and, without questioning the man's identity, leaned in to sign the document.In Serena's limited knowledge, all she knew was that she had married a man who was transparent to the entire family, powerless, and had grown up outside to recover from his illness.The man before her was not only healthy, and he had a compelling aura that could only be seen in someone with power.If this was Matthew, how could he have married her? She surmised that he might be a cousin of her husband.Serena's skin was very good, her face had a
