Serena leaned around the corner for a long time, almost looking through Bard's body, and couldn't tell that this was a woman beater of a man.She was almost instantly certain that there must be something bitter about what had happened.She was about to walk over when she saw another woman come out of the room, full of vitriol."Why are you still standing here? What's the use of reading so many books! In the end, it is not mixed to this place, these years in my family to eat our, drink our, the result is to do a thing like procrastination! This afternoon, wash the pile of clothes, and sweep the floor of the house, and you also help to deal with things in the factory, do not really think of yourself as a member of this family!"Bard's face was full of stoicism, and his eyebrows were furiously raised before he finally spoke."Sister-in-law, I borrowed the money to buy this house for my brother in the first place, and it's no crime for me to live here."The woman's face flamed with anger,
That's why people from the outside world say that the residents of Castle Rock Lane lived in coffins a long time ago; after all, only coffins are so cramped.Serena had just taken a step when a huge wave of unease suddenly swept through her body, and when she looked up, she realized that a blackened gun was pointed at her not far away.The man's eyes were full of bloodlust and fierceness, and she was almost certain that she was really going to die.Her body couldn't move at all under the immense tension, as if she had been nailed to the ground.The more anxious you are, the less you can move."Bang!"She heard the sound of a bullet going off and almost unconsciously closed her eyes.But a man's chest burst open, shielding her tightly underneath, and rolled around with her in his arms.Serena's nostrils were filled with blood, thick and pungent.She tilted her head to see Jordan's pale face."I suddenly regret it."Only he knows what he regrets.Serena just thinks he's lost a lot of bl
Serena took ten thousand dollars straight out of her bag and put it in front of the woman, "I'm Uncle Bard's neighbor and I have something for him, just for one afternoon."Seeing the money, the woman took it without hesitation and looked at Bard sarcastically, "I really didn't think that you had such a rich neighbor, Bard, it seems that you were really confused at first, but it's a pity that you were tricked by a woman and that your books were read to a dog!"Bard's face was flushed and he didn't make a sound, his eyebrows filled with concealment.Serena hurriedly took the man with her and didn't stay behind.Bard was a man and recognized the limousine parked outside at a glance, the whole person suddenly became formal, "Why are you looking for me?""Uncle Bard, don't be nervous, I'm just curious about what happened back then, let's find a restaurant and talk slowly."Bard pursed his lips and got into the car, not daring to move at all, stirring his palms awkwardly.He had once been
But Serena had risen, her face firm, "Uncle Bard, a little self-respect is nothing when it comes to food and clothing, take it, you live in this world, and dying to save face is a sin."Bard's face flushed and she gritted her teeth, putting the money in her pocket, "Thank you."Serena left quickly, what was Matthew doing calling her? It was rare that the man called her."I'll be right back, let's discuss everything in person."She said, sensing that the man wasn't very happy.It was an hour later when they returned to Pines Ridge, and Matthew, waiting on the couch, had almost lost his patience.His eyes swept over Serena's body, his brow furrowed and his lips curled into a knife when he noticed her two empty palms.Serena shivered at the sight of him and tried to remember if she'd done anything wrong today.But she had been very good today and hadn't done anything to offend him."What's wrong with you?"Matthew's frown lightened a bit at the sound of "husband," but it was clear that h
Serena still has to go to Bard today, and she needs to get a good understanding of what happened in order to get more clues."I have to go out today, I'll be back later."Matthew's hand jerked, instantly thinking that she might have to go and quietly prepare a gift, and that she was saying that now for no other reason than to surprise him."Good."He agreed dryly, not asking what exactly was going on, "There's going to be a potluck with Blair and the boys tonight and you're going to join me."Every year on his birthday, Blair got together with him and went to great lengths to make a simple party for him."I know, I'll try to make it back."Serena didn't really take his words seriously; after all, it was just a potluck, she wouldn't know what to say even if she went, not to mention that she and Blair didn't get along per se, and she couldn't wait to avoid that kind of potluck.She left the villa and went to talk to Bard first, a
It was as if his eyes had rubbed the stars together and suddenly thousands of lights poured in.Nina, however, doesn't see it and starts complaining again at the thought of Serena buying the watch that looks cheap to her."Serena is really something too, brother, didn't you give her a black card? What's wrong with buying something expensive, she actually bought a watch worth tens of thousands of dollars to give to you."Matthew reigned supreme in Nina's heart, how could her brother wear a watch that cost tens of thousands of dollars!So she couldn't help but say a few words to Serena, but it was a piece of cake, so she spat slightly and then stopped.But Matthew wasn't having any of it and gave her a look that sounded a little disgusted, "What do you know?"Nina blushed at his comment and bit her lip, "Am I wrong? When have you ever worn a million dollar watch, brother?"The corners of Matthew's mouth turned up again, the pleasure in his eyes no longer hidden.He lifted his hand and r
"I gave this watch to someone for her birthday today."The scene immediately fell silent, so this young grandmother of the Harrington family didn't know that today was Sir's birthday?Everyone's faces were different and no one dared to speak.Serena felt the temperature around her drop and turned her head to see Matthew's face was terrifying.The air seemed to have a layer of ice in it, giving her goosebumps.Serena's heart raced at the look in his eyes, the hurt and anger in them.The look was like a knife, cutting ruthlessly into her skin.She quickly apologized, "I didn't know that was a custom among you, I'll make up the gift next time."Matthew's faint hope was slowly eroded by her words, only to feel all the alcohol he'd drunk turn to fire and burn to the marrow of his bones.His eyebrows were raw and cold, and his always calm voice took on a few tremors, "So you didn't know what day it was from start to finish?"Serena pursed her lips, her fingers crinkling gently, and asked ca
Her mind was racing with quick answers, like what kind of things did Matthew like?But when she thought about it, she realized that she knew so little about Matthew, not even what things he liked to do or what he liked to eat.She went upstairs and stood in front of his door, wanting to knock but hesitating, and ended up standing dry.Finally, she went back to her room.Just after taking a bath and coming out, the door to her room was knocked on, she thought the servants had prepared a late night snack, so she didn't bother to open it and said directly, "I don't eat late night snacks, I'm not hungry.""It's me."Matthew's voice was weak, depressed, and dull.Serena rushed to open the door, only to see him standing outside in his robe, full of impatience.The moment the door had just opened, he was inside, closing the door very quickly and pinning her against it, turning off the lights in the room.The moment darkness fell, so did his kiss.Serena could only feel her heart beating wild
