Robert figures that with him personally getting down on his knees and admitting fault for his daughter, normal people would be too busy to stop it and then forgive Jennifer for what she's done.Jennifer had been punished anyway, there was no need to keep harping on it.Unfortunately, Serena was never normal.Serena looked at Robert with a smile that held a hint of threat, "Mr. Robert, I don't have time to witness your father-daughter love drama. 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
When Serena wakes up, she realizes that she's not in a hospital, but in the Eaglecrest Estate, Grandpa's residence, where the doctor says she just choked on the water, nothing serious, and her leg has been re-bandaged.Richard sits in shock in the living room with Robert and Greedella kneeling on the floor as they all wait for her to wake up.Serena coughed, when she heard what the servants had told her, a slight red coloring in her eyes."Is the wound on your back okay?"As she watched the doctor change Matthew's medication, she realized that his back was so badly injured.His back was also soaked when he carried her up in the pool."Hmm."Matthew closed his eyes weakly, his forehead furrowed imperceptibly a few times.The doctor applied the medicine and gave a few more instructions before leaving.He put his jacket back on, moving a little slowly."This is bracelet in the pool, it's fake."His voice didn't waver as he placed the bracelet in front of Serena.A trace of warmth crossed
"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
In the afternoon, Matthew arranged for someone to move Serena to his own place."I asked Nathan to arrange for someone to help you move to my place. 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
"Oh, okay..."Serena didn't hesitate at all, maneuvering the wheelchair to move backward.However, at this moment, the wheelchair, for some reason, refused to cooperate. She struggled for several minutes, but it just kept spinning in place.She could feel Matthew's gaze becoming increasingly intense, like molten flames ready to engulf her entire body.Flustered, she dared not lift her head to meet his eyes, her face turning as red as a boiled shrimp.*Bang!*The door in front of her suddenly slammed shut, cutting off everything inside.Without that piercing gaze, Serena's tense body instantly relaxed.Matthew's anger was terrifying; it felt like his entire being was shrouded in pressure, making it difficult to move.She pursed her lips, realizing her hands were free to move again.She must have been so funny just now!It's like the limbs just looked like they were under a stasis spell.On the other side of the door, Matthew sat on the bed, his face so dark it seemed like water could d
Serena’s hands on her knees slowly clenching.Matthew paused; their lips were just the width of a paper apart, their breaths entwined.A slight forward movement, and they would be kissing.Serena's eyes slowly widened, her heart, after intense compression, surprisingly became calm.Matthew's gaze turned cool. He straightened up and stopped looking at her, offering no explanation for his actions.He went straight back to the study and closed the door.After closing the door, he glanced at the location of his heart.Throughout, the heartbeat remained steady. It seemed that the brief disturbance upon hearing her call him Honey was just an illusion.He pursed his lips, no longer dwelling on it, and opened the nearby computer to deal with affairs.Serena also returned to her room.Just as she was about to lie down on the bed, her phone began ringing frantically—Ella calling.She didn't want to answer, so she directly hung up.But the other side was persistent, as if not answering would kee
Samantha and Michelle's faces darkened."What do you mean, sis?" Serena curled her lips, raising her eyebrows."Isn't my meaning clear enough? I want you both out, now."The more indifferent Serena sounded, the more insulted Samantha and Michelle felt."Serena!"Michelle, red-faced with anger, angrily threw her bag at Serena.Fortunately, Serena dodged in time, avoiding a direct hit.The guards at the door couldn't stand by any longer and quickly restrained Samantha and Michelle."Throw them out, and make sure they never come in again," Serena ordered without mercy.The guards, excited, responded, "Yes, madam!"Michelle and Samantha were immediately carried out.Michelle, losing her composure, cursed shamelessly.She wore a dress, but the guards treated her like garbage, lifting her as if she were a sack."Put me down! Let me down! Do you know who I am?! FUCK!""Serena, you bitch! If you've angered me, that old woman in the hospital will have no life tonight!"Michelle's face was fill
