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

    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

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

    "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

    The next day, a specialist came to examined her leg.Serena hear the specialist say that it would be as good as new in two months, and her grip on the sheets loosened a little."Nathan, is Ella back yet?"Ella had suffered a defeat abroad this time, she was low to the ground."Well, back, the barometric pressure in the legal department is low, and the story is being reported outside, so everyone is thinking of ways to remedy the situation."Serena nodded and waited until Nathan was gone before she called Ella.Ella sat sullenly in her chair, her brow furrowed impatiently as she saw Serena's call come in."Yes?""Ella, it's Serena. I have some ideas about that lawsuit. We could invite the co..."When Ella heard her words, all she could feel was her throat burning like fire, and her eyes filled with ferocity.This lawsuit couldn't even be handled by her, so what made Serena so confident that she was still here to tell her what to do?"Serena, I haven't seen you in the department, nor ha

It's not convenient for you to stay here."Upon hearing these words, Serena secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Matthew really knew his grandfather, and these days she had indeed been feeling uncomfortable.Though Richard was kind, he looked at her with far too much eagerness, glancing at her belly now and then, as if that was the way to get a great-grandchild.Not knowing how to cope if she continued to stay, Serena looked at Matthew with grateful eyes and said, "Thank you."Thinking that this move would provide a peaceful environment for recovery, she was caught off guard when trouble emerged again at the company.Ella directly sent out an email within the department, announcing Serena's dismissal, with the entire department copied.Most importantly, the lengthy email contained numerous personal attacks and emotional outbursts from Ella

    Serena couldn't say a word, only shed tears and her body went limp.I don't know how long it took, but Matthew finally stopped and leaned over her, his forehead against hers, "Don't let me know you're in contact with him, or I don't know what I'll do."Serena's face was streaked with tears and she raised her hand to slap him, but Matthew caught her hand in his, his eyes cold.She tugged at her lips in mockery, suddenly remembering what she had heard in the hospital, he had said he loved her, was that his love?Hurting her, humiliating her, and this was what he called love?"Matthew, if that's what you call love in your mouth, I'd rather not."Matthew said nothing, helped her dress and carried her to his bedroom.Serena didn't have the strength to resist anymore, so she was put on the bed and watched quietly as the man went into the bathroom and filled the tub with hot water.When the hot water was running, he came back and scooped her up and put her in the tub.He can't wait on people

    "Matthew, did you see me before we got married?"Matthew's eyes narrowed and he leaned forward slightly, staring intently into her face, "Never seen her before, why?"Serena was even more confused and was about to say something about Judy when Nathan walked in from outside and she had to shut up.Nathan had brought in the company pieces, and when he saw the two men standing by the door, he thought they had had another argument, so he didn't dare say anything for a while.Matthew took the piece he was holding and looked at Serena, "Follow me to the den."Serena pursed her lips, knowing the man was going to ask about small children, and followed him anyway.Matthew turned on the computer and punched in a series of codes, and thousands of strings of data interspersed with English and Arabic numerals appeared, flashing constantly on the screen.Matthew's hacking skills were strong, Serena let out this heartfelt exclamation.And I don't know how he did it, but he actually pulled up the sur

    Serena's palms clenched for a moment, her nails digging into her flesh, "Judy, did you see that man?"Judy shook her head, seeing that her mood was off, and rushed to reassure her."Serena, I thought this time when I came back you would ask me for something right away, I didn't realize that you weren't able to remember me, I'm sorry, it's because I'm in a hurry, I've been waiting for you all this time, but you're too late to come to me, that's why I decided to look for the door, this bracelet can't be given to you for the time being, come back to me when you remember it.""Other than that, Judy, what else do you know? I've recently fallen into a fog, everyone says I once gave birth to a child, but in my memories there is no such part as giving birth to a child, my brain hasn't been injured, let alone amnesia, all the memories are articulated so naturally, so can you tell me what you know, all of it?"Judy, also experiencing this for the first time, sighed."Serena, I didn't have much

    Every cell in Serena's body was boiling, but she couldn't fight back.All her strength was like a stone sinking into the sea, and Matthew easily took all her power.Tired of struggling, she broke into a sweat and her sanity gradually returned.Matthew, on the other hand, was not the least bit affected, ruffling her hair in front of her as if he was deliberately waiting for her emotions to calm down.Serena was never out of control in front of outsiders, but as long as Matthew was around, she couldn't help herself and her true temper was exposed.At that moment, she was panting softly, the tip of her nose covered in sweat.Matthew took the paper from his side and wiped the tip of her nose.Serena tilted her head to avoid it, but his hand never let go."Serena, I didn't want to shoot him that night, Wilbur, even though he betrayed me, even though he almost got me killed three years ago, I didn't want to take his life, he pulled the trigger himself and killed himself, I was surprised at

    But at that moment, a sharp thorn suddenly appeared, shattering all illusions.Serena wasn't sure why she had deleted the call with the little girl, she had a feeling in her heart that she couldn't let Matthew know about the child.She had been talking to the child on and off for the past few days, the little girl knew Vincent and seemed to be extremely close to him, and Vincent was Matthew's enemy, so the little girl's position was naturally on Matthew's opposite side.Matthew's eyes were thick, melting ink, and even his forehead had turned to a white frost.He pulled out his own cell phone and dialed the string of numbers as Serena watched.Serena's heart was in her throat; it turned out he knew all along.Matthew didn't put it on speaker, he put the phone to his ear and a man's voice came over the side, "Serena?"Matthew felt only the tip of his heart being bitten by a viper, and his hawkish eyes, filled with severity, instantly turned to Serena.As he hung up, he almost forced his

    He hung up the phone in a hurry, his back sweating.He noticed that Serena was staring at him, his brow furrowed, "What are you looking at, drive."Serena didn't say anything as she kept her foot on the accelerator.The car soon stopped where the man had requested and instead of going straight down, he said to her, "Wait for me here, I have to be picked up later."Serena pursed her lips in agreement.Ten minutes after the men left, the smell of blood was heavy and the sound of wolves howling filled the air.It took a lot of determination not to drive away.A few minutes later, she saw the man coming out of the abandoned factory with the white wolf behind him.Serena had thought a lot after he had left, she had even considered calling Nathan and the others, after all, this Vincent was the one they were looking for, but at this moment, when she saw the man coming back, she had nothing left to think about.The man's eyes were full of indifference to life, and he sat back weakly in the ca

    Serena knew he was talking about herself, and with a slightly unnatural look on her face, she walked over to the bed, only to find that the divorce papers were still on the pillow.Looking at them now, it's actually a little embarrassing.Matthew, however, carefully picked up the divorce papers and placed them in a side cabinet.Serena's sharp eye spotted another divorce agreement in the cabinet; both she and Matthew had divorced several times since they'd been married.What started out as him wanting a divorce ended up as her wanting a divorce.Her lips pursed at the corners and she sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him with a solemn expression, "Matthew, the next question I ask you, you need to answer me seriously."Matthew froze, a smile crossing his eyes, "Uh, yeah."Serena moved closer, her eyes meeting his, "Did you know I had a baby?"Matthew nodded, the smile in his eyes a little brighter, "If you're asking me where the baby is and who the man you had the baby with is, Se

    When she finished, she looked at Serena.Serena immediately realized that she was expected to leave.She lifted her foot to leave, but her wrist was pulled by Matthew, "Sit properly."Serena lowered her eyes, not sure if it was her illusion, this Sherry had been very hostile towards her when she first came in.When Sherry saw this scene, she didn't hesitate any longer."Boss, I've already finished dealing with the shadow forces, but this person seems to be well aware of the arrangement of your forces, boss, and has sent several people to test the waters, but there's no friction with us, and they seem to be simply passing through our territory, including our very hidden meeting places, where his people will also appear."Matthew has a nemesis, and as anyone who follows him knows, the two have an irreconcilable grudge and even hate each other at times.Yet over the years, no one has made the first move except to test each other.Matthew narrowed his eyes, the forces in the shadows had b

    Yes, before she was in the hospital room, she was being sarcastic about Serena, saying that she's the one who's going to jail tonight.Once in the hospital room, however, she saw the way Matthew looked at Serena, as if in his eyes, whatever was worth forgiving was worth forgiving as long as it was Serena.She had lost, she had tried to act pathetic to get the man to notice her, but the moment he opened his mouth, he shooed her away, seeming to loathe the thought of looking at her more than once.The closest she and Matthew had come to each other was when the man was herbal.If she had been willing to offer herself, if she had pushed that door open then, maybe everything would have been different, but she had missed it.So when she left the hospital, she couldn't wait to get to the Ignite Spirits Bar, just to see if she had a chance to get out of the embarrassing situation she was in today.She sees no hope in Matthew.Whether it's Jordan or Gabriel, who once humiliated her, she doesn'
