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

    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

    Just now, while she was brooding here, Serena thought a lot about how she was going to make this man suffer, how she was going to make him pay for Mary's death.She thought of one idea after another and finally vetoed one after another."Matthew, do you have any idea how obnoxious you are?"She said, looking up with red eyes and biting her lip.Matthew said nothing and raised a hand to dry the fluffy drizzle from her hair.Serena couldn't bear the depth of his tenderness like that.She shuddered and slapped his hand away, covered her face and began to cry, sorry to Mary, sorry to everyone.She'd never been in such pain, like a wound exposed to the air, blood slowly draining, muscles slowly rotting, every second that passed seemed like a knife cutting through bone.Guilt and panic tortured her heart at all times, lynching her and tearing away flesh and bone marrow piece by piece.Matthew frowned and bent down to take her in his arms, "Serena, what's wrong with you?"He asked cautiously

    After exhaling a ring of smoke, his mind suddenly remembered what the woman had just said, "Jordan, do you love me?"Somehow, the person who said those words had suddenly become Serena.Jordan's eyes were confused, and it wasn't until his hand hurt that he looked down and realized that the smoke had burned down to where his fingers were.He stubbed out his cigarette and stared out the window in disbelief.The years had flown by and he had had many women lie in his arms and ask him if he loved them with a look of infatuation and devotion, but how ridiculous that the woman he loved the most had never asked that question.Jordan curled the corners of his mouth, pulled out his cell phone to check the time, and walked out of the room.After hopping into the convertible, he hit the gas and headed straight for Pines Ridge.Coincidentally, Serena came out of the house, saw the car parked next to her, and subconsciously had to swerve to avoid it.But Jordan was quick, getting out of the car an

    But the two men's voices never came from behind her, and the corners of her mouth tickled mockingly, no longer curious what they would say, and quickening her own pace.Once she was gone, Nathan spoke again."Boss, I didn't expect Wilbur to betray us, I treated him like my best brother, and he even ......"It was hard to hide the sadness in Nathan's voice and his forehead was tired.Wilbur disappeared for three years, he and Boss are no fools, both are a little suspicious, so they began to investigate what happened to Wilbur in the past three years.Wilbur was his brother, but as long as it was Boss, he had to find out the details.But when you look into it that much, it is actually something that happened three years ago.Three years ago, it was because Wilbur leaked their location that they were ambushed.After checking this out, Boss rushed over in the night and rearranged all the forces in the shadows, just for fear of being taken out of their hideout, after all, Wilbur had always

    She asked herself, she was not a kind person, but Wilbur had saved his life at least once, and he was his brother, and he had already knelt down, so sincere and open, that he could not spare his life?If it had been her, she would have kept Wilbur alive instead of just blowing his head off and giving him no chance to live.Now that he talked so easily about sending Wilbur out of the country, it was obvious that it was really cruel.Serena's heart cooled as she became even more skeptical of the secret Wilbur and Matthew were talking about.She had overheard Wilbur's words earlier, and she had been on the defensive against him as a person, but now that she thought about it, Wilbur didn't know that she was hiding in the dark at that time, so how could he have intentionally acted out for her?Not to mention that he had just lost his life. Would a person use his life to put on a show?Was it worth it? What did he get out of it?With these

    He smelled of dust and seemed to have been out recently.The corners of Wilbur's mouth turned up, the bottoms of his eyes slightly scarlet."Boss, I think it's time Madam knew these truths.""And what did you say to her?"Accompanying Matthew's grim voice was the sound of a bullet being loaded, and with a single tick of his fingertip, Wilbur would be lifeless.Wilbur looked up, not in the least intimidated by the muzzle of the gun pressed against his head, but with a cheerful expression on his face."It's a shame Madam isn't here, or she'd know how desperate the men she cares for really are."Matthew's face immediately grimaced and his eyes narrowed."Boss, all the happiness you have now is stolen, do you think Madam will stay by your side when she finds out about all this? You'll be a sinner by then.""My business is not your business.""I just feel sorry for Madam."Matthew ticked the corner of his mouth

    "I have raised you for so many years! Not for you to step into a man's trap with one unproductive foot, if you mess with him again, I'll have him blocked tomorrow!""Don't you dare! If you block him, I'll tell everyone in Hustleburg what you did, and let them know that Mr. Greg of Infinity Realm forced himself on a woman with a group of people! Humiliated someone to death!!!""Pop!"Another hard slap and Gloria's face was deflected with a somewhat contemptuous mouth hook.Greg's face turned red and he snapped, "What are you babbling about?!"Gloria wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with sharp sarcasm."I already knew it, don't pretend, you said drunken things when you were drunk, and said that the woman cried so sadly before she died, but you all didn't have a soft heart, and tortured her to death alive, dad, my character is like you, people say there is a father like you, you are such a no-good person, how can I be better!"Greg couldn't get a word out, he

    Serena couldn't care less about Daniel and rushed to say quietly, "I'm here Scarlett, just hang in there."Scarlett smiled to herself, no blood on her face, "Daniel, can you go out first?"Her words were full of mockery, even the bottom of her eyes were filled with mockery.Daniel stiffened and stood up, taking a step toward the door.It was only a moment after the door closed that Scarlett bit her lip, her hand squeezing the sheet tightly."Serena, I'm dying.""No way!!!"Serena, filled with fear, held her hand in place to keep from hurting herself.Scarlett turned her head with difficulty and looked at her guiltily."Serena, the only person in this world I've ever apologized to is you, I don't deserve a tombstone, so when I die, donate all my organs, and burn what's left in a fire, scatter the ashes by the side of the road, don't go home, don't go to the grave, don't reincarnate, and better yet, the soul should be scattered so that it can wash away the sins in my body, and also so t

    Serena's excitement slowly faded as her breathing began to slow and her hands began to squeeze and squeeze harder."Husband?"She rubbed her eyes, and the next thing she knew, she was flattened out in a recliner.Matthew kissed her gently, cupping the back of her head and undoing her buttons one by one with his mouth.Serena's face flushed and she looked away, "What are you doing?"Gasping for breath, Matthew scooped her into a hug, desperately trying to suppress the emotions that were about to spill out."Do you want to stay here or go to your room?"Serena tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.Matthew couldn't hold back any longer and scooped her up in a hug and headed back to the bedroom.The servant, seeing them head on, hastily lowered his eyes and looked at them.Serena had been drinking and it was coming back to her, and just after she was tucked into bed, she could no longer see much of anything.Just to lean against him and get some warmth from

    Matthew carried on, not noticing her bend, and bubbles continued to boil in his heart at the thought of her waiting for him outside.After dinner, the two of them sat on the couch watching TV like a normal young couple.Serena opened her mouth, still unable to resist saying something about Wilbur, but just as her lips opened, Nathan walked in from outside."Boss, there's another impromptu meeting you need to handle."Matthew's brow furrowed in obvious exhaustion, and he braced himself to get up when he heard the words.But after a few steps he turned his head and smiled at Serena, "I'll be done by twelve and then I'll take you to the fireworks."Serena's heart fluttered instantly and her mind grew much warmer.It was Mary's first New Year without her, and she thought she would have a lonely time, not realizing that this man would take care of her feelings in every way, take her shopping for New Year's Eve, and even think of going to the fireworks with her.She lowered her eyes, sudden
