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
So when two people like that fall in love, if it's smooth sailing all the way, then it's okay, if something goes wrong in the middle of the journey, then both of them get hurt.Matthew continued, unaware of what was going on in his mind, and put down the cup in his hand, "What's done is done, you can go now."Blair wasn't flirting as usual and called out with some hesitation, "Matthew."Matthew dropped his eyes slightly, "Blair, I know what I'm doing."Blair opened her mouth, remembered that she had a lot of bad things going on as well, and didn't seem to be in a position to advise anyone else, and sighed, "Take care of yourself."Waiting for Blair to leave, Matthew whipped his head around to look at Serena, "Hungry?"Serena immediately choked up and brushed her face away, "Next time don't just come into my room, especially at night."If he hadn't knocked on the door last night, none of this would have happened.She had no reason to blame him, after all she had initiated it herself, b
She couldn't even imagine what kind of man she would be in the future that would make her willingly put on a wedding dress, stand in a solemn church and shout that she did, Jack said he loved her before, maybe he just didn't know her well enough, people who really knew her wouldn't say they loved her, they shunned her."Serena."Matthew cupped her chin, stopping her rambling."No one in this world is a blank slate, everyone lives with love and hate, the past and shadows, it's just that some people hide it deep and some people can't, you know?"Like him, for example, he had a heavy shadow in his heart and was afraid to even see the sunlight or be discovered by it."You're just too tired, get some rest and come with me to Eaglecrest Estate tonight."Both men stopped talking.Eaglecrest Estate.Emily and Melody sat together, Melody's mouth full of amusement as she stood up and poured water for Mary."Mom, I'm very sure, don't worry, that servant was bought by me, the night Matthew and Se
Serena didn't know what to say, it was useless to persuade anyone.She could understand Molly, if someone suddenly told her that Matthew had had an accident, she was afraid that she wouldn't be in a better situation than the other person.Molly's eyes reddened as she pushed her away, "I want some peace and quiet."With that, she got into a side car.Serena stood in place for a moment, watching the car go out of sight before she sighed heavily.Footsteps appeared behind her, footsteps she was already familiar with, it was Oscar."Thanks for taking me in these past few days, I'm moving out tonight."She said faintly, her heart hardening.Oscar didn't say anything and followed her to the car.The car stopped in front of the apartment and the two went inside together.Serena had very little, just a few sets of clothes, which she had packed before she left the house, and was able to leave with her suitcase in hand at this moment.But just as she was carrying the suitcase, an embrace sudden
Serena thought that it might be Lorraine who had taken Richard hostage, but didn't realize that this woman was actually this ruthless.No wonder Matthew hadn't said a word just now and had been holding back.If he had said one more word, he might have received Richard's finger.Her brows wrinkled, Lorraine actually dared to go this farMatthew's people were definitely doing their best to search for Richard's whereabouts, but she was also concerned about what the other pinch was in Lorraine's hands.Oscar said that the only people who knew about it were Matthew and Lorraine, and there was obviously no way those two were going to tell the truth.She reaches up to rub her temples when she suddenly feels a warm coolness coming from her hand.She opened her eyes to find that Oscar had placed his hand over hers and was prying it away from her, pressing her temples himself.Serena froze and subconsciously had to duck."Stay still and close your eyes."His voice was gentle, and the force of h
"I'm tired of being played?"Serena braced herself, no matter what, she didn't want to lose in front of Lorraine.She glanced up at Matthew and could clearly sense Matthew's dislike for Lorraine, a dislike that was shallow but she still detected it.He clearly disliked Lorraine, yet he allowed Lorraine to act recklessly in front of him, how did he look like he had a handle on Lorraine, and this handle was not usually small.Serena's mind was spinning fast, she couldn't believe that Matthew would say love so easily, let alone that he would say no so easily.She pursed her lips and tried to think about what had happened during this period of time, and the only thing that Matthew was holding onto was Richard abroad.Not long ago, I heard that Richard was still in resuscitation, could it be that Lorraine's people had taken Richard hostage?With Lorraine's character, it's not that she can't do such a thing, her mind is meticulous, she must have held Matthew's handle, so she dares to be so
Serena's voice wasn't intentionally lowered, and there were already plenty of people hiding around who wanted to hear the gossip.Matthew and Serena bumping into each other, that was the biggest gossip!How could everyone let go of this opportunity, and they all perked up their ears.Now that they heard Serena say that she was buying Infinity Realm's Boss for one night, everyone thought that she was finished, and Matthew would definitely be furious.After all, only a whore would be talked about by a woman like that, who was he, he was the high and mighty Prince!However, there are many women who secretly feel that Serena's words are very right, after all, Mira does like Matthew very much, but can't even touch a piece of other people's Matthew's clothes, and Serena not only slept with Matthew, but also slept with him for a whole year, how is it not a loss.Mira never dreamed Serena had such thick skin! That she could even say such a thing!She looked over at Matthew, quite upset, "Matt
Lorraine didn't make a fool of herself by going up and climbing on Matthew's bandwagon; everyone would associate her with Matthew anyway if she was here tonight.She bowed her head, curled her lips in a smile, and left the place, going to the other side.There were a lot of people surrounding Matthew, but he didn't have the heart to deal with it.Out of the corner of his eye, he searched the crowd and quickly found Serena.He lowered his eyes faintly, his lips pursed a few inches tighter.In front of Serena stood a man, a man who was very good looking, similar to her age."Se..... ...Serena."He was so nervous that he stuttered a bit in his speech.Serena had been fuming when she heard her name being called and looked up in a hurry.She really didn't remember much about her classmates, so she couldn't recall this one's name for a moment, and could only smile in a friendly manner, "Is something wrong?""You're single now aren't you?"The man looked like he had gathered a lot of courage
Yeah, so many people in Hustleburg were waiting to taunt her, and this centennial celebration was sure to be a great one.She was definitely missing out on a lot of gossip if she didn't go.Serena hung her head and glanced at the dress, a very classy style, Oscar had a good eye."How much?"She took refuge in someone else's place, ate from them, used them, and how could she be ashamed to accept another gift from him.Oscar raised an eyebrow and didn't answer.Serena took out a card from her own pocket, "Don't you forget, I'm a rich woman now, I divorced Matthew and he gave me quite a lot of things, this card is my own, I've already forgotten how much is in it, let's consider it as this dress and my rent? I'm moving out after the school festival, I can't live here all the time."Oscar didn't squirm and took the card, "Good."If he didn't take it, she would be panicked instead, and being more open about it would make her feel better about living here.Serena sighed with relief, and went
Oscar's fingertips lurched and patted her head, "I'm going to go make dinner, you can cry if you want to, and put it down for now after you've cried."With that said, he got up and retraced his steps back to the kitchen.Serena hugged over a pillow and crooked herself on the couch, staring at the ceiling in disbelief.Exhaustion instantly flooded her, and she leaned over and fell right back to sleep.Oscar made dinner and when he saw her asleep, he took the blanket from the side and covered her.Instead of waking her, he warmed the few small dishes he had made and sat quietly, waiting for her to wake up.Serena had a long sleep, she hadn't dreamed of Mary in a long time, and for once she actually did.She seems to have found someone to talk to, all the pretense instantly put down, buried in each other's arms, a strong cry.Serena's dream was a long one, and she woke up to see the unfamiliar furnishings around her and hurriedly braced herself.She was sleeping in Oscar's bed.His room
With every word he said, Serena felt like she was being poked in the heart.She wanted to try and ignore everything that had happened last night, but the more she tried to forget, the more the scene became etched in her mind.Oscar closed the window behind him and turned to look at her faintly, "What are you going to do next?"Serena didn't answer because she hadn't figured out what she was going to do either.It had happened so suddenly that it was still a bit of a shock."Get out of here first, the hotel security can only stop them for a while, when the reporters rush up, you won't be able to leave."Serena didn't think much of it and immediately packed up and left the hotel.She got into Oscar's car, the windows were closed so the reporters didn't realize she had left.Serena looked outside, her nose sniffing the scent of his ink if anything.He should be drawing and practicing at home a lot or he wouldn't have this natural scent on him at all times."Did Matthew send you?"That sc
She found the box in the bedroom and simply packed a few clothes in.When the servant saw her like this, he still spoke respectfully, "Madam, you have too many things, I can have someone send them to you."Serena acted as if she didn't hear it, she was holding her breath now."Where do I have anything, when I married here, I only brought a few pieces of clothing."In fact, she wanted to be like any other woman, to stick around and not leave, or to stalk and barricade herself against him, but her dignity would not allow her to do so.She ignored her physical exhaustion and took a small suitcase out of Pines Ridge.She didn't ask her driver to drive her away, but walked the distance herself and took a cab.The news was all over the place about her divorce from Matthew and there were pictures released of Matthew dating someone else.Overnight, it was like she fell from heaven to hell.She had no place to go and had just gotten out of the rental when Scarlett called, calling Matthew insid
