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
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
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
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
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
Matthew said nothing more, flipping lightly through the newspaper in his hand.Soon the servants brought dinner.The more time passes, the more Serena sits on the edge of her seat.After tonight, it's freshman year!She also ate carelessly until a piece of meat got stuck in her bowl and she tilted her head to meet Matthew's eyes.She shuddered inwardly and squeezed her fork tightly."Serena, do you miss your grandmother?"Matthew had just asked the question when he saw two fires ignite in the woman's eyes as she stared at him with resentment.He frowned, not understanding where the resentment in her eyes came from.He took out of his pocket a small pocket watch with pictures of Mary as a child, as a young man, and as an old man.Each time the second hand moved, the picture in the pocket watch changed by one.She watched in awe and slowly reached for the pocket watch.She hadn't seen Mary as a child, and she hadn't even seen Mary as a young woman.In high school, Mary turned over two o
"Serena, do you regret meeting me at all? My mother caused you a lot of pain, even my existence caused you pain, right?"Serena frowned, what made him think that?"Jack, I don't regret meeting you, as for your mother, I dislike her very much, when I first met you, she always said that you were the Leona hanging in the sky, even if I put my feet higher and fell on my head, I couldn't possibly bring you down, if I really regretted meeting you, I should have given up then, but I didn't, I always wanted to get a little closer to the Leona. Even if I failed, the Leona was still far away, but I became someone who had seen the light and was satisfied".She turned around and looked at him sincerely, "I'm not going to completely deny my last relationship just because of this marriage, just because I have a crush on another man, I'll never forget what I did, what you did, what we worked for together, but that's in the past, I've started to move on, and you don't want to stop where you're going,
She had been very well-behaved lately and hadn't gone around causing any trouble, and she was really afraid of Matthew getting mad, so she had to look for other ways.Tara slapped Serena and still didn't feel relieved, and the thought of her son almost dying at Serena's hands gave her a pang of fear.Serena dropped her eyes and took the slap hard.She couldn't deny it because the drug was actually administered by her.Nathan hadn't expected to meet Mrs. Tara here, things were obviously getting complicated, he spoke quickly, "Mrs. Tara, what are you doing here?"He raised his voice deliberately, hoping that Matthew inside would hear him, and now he was the only one who could solve the problem at hand if he woke up."How could I have heard what she said if I wasn't here, Matthew would have just given in to her, I don't even know, she had the nerve to do something like that!"Tara hated to call the police right now, but what made her powerless was the fact that her son was being a little
Matthew buttoned up his cuffs and turned around to see her looking at him.He laughed and sat down on the edge of the bed and stroked her head, "Sherry just told me about moderation, so it's not okay to think about it."Serena skimmed her eyes, full of indifference."Serena shouldn't be that kind of irresponsible woman, when you force someone, you have to be responsible, the divorce, forget it, don't you think?"Serena opened her mouth, unable to spit out a word.But the look on her face had expressed her thoughts; she wanted a divorce.Matthew, however, deliberately ignored it, and came over to kiss her on the cheek, "Not saying anything that's a tacit acceptance, take care of your body during this period of time, don't go out for a while if your body isn't well."It was house arrest in disguise, and he was the only one who could say it with such gentleness.Serena lowered her eyes, not wanting to pay attention.The corners of Matthew's mouth curved and he had food brought up while h
Serena, however, had a relaxed brow, and seemed quite happy to see his displeasure."Isn't it? I've given birth and you're still obsessed with my body, has it ever occurred to you that where you've left your mark, there was once another man who left his mark, who would have been my first man, and perhaps I still have him in my bones.""BOOM!!!"The bowl was dropped on the floor by Matthew and the porridge spilled all over the floor.His eyes were scarlet and unblinking as he stared at her, "So that man was Maxwell?"Serena was intent on being angry with him so she was a little tongue tied, "Yes, it was him, you are twins right? He took me while you went to save your true love, I don't think you want to know what we actually did the night he took me."No sooner had she finished her sentence than Matthew was already striding over, scooping her up and pressing her violently onto the bed.Serena's face taunted, not compromising in any way.Matthew's eyes were scarlet as he held the back o
She had her dagger ready and had probably wanted to do this for a long time.The sound of a knife in flesh and bone filled the compartment and Serena let go of her hand in a hurry and took a few steps back.Matthew dropped his eyes and looked at the dagger that had pierced his entire palm.She had said not long ago that if he died because of her, she would never live alone.But in the blink of an eye, she was the one who wanted him dead.When will some words of truth come out of her mouth?He suddenly felt the tip of his nose go sour, and not caring if the dagger would hurt the blood vessels in his palm, he pulled it out directly and brutally.His palms bled profusely, dripping and pooling on the seat.Serena's face had gone white, she forced herself not to look at the scene and leaned back.Matthew saw her like this, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, opened the car window and threw the dagger out.The cold wind from outside poured in all at once, blowing painfully across his f
The black car bumped along for eight or nine hours before entering Havenbrook territory.The car stopped at five a.m. The winter sky lit up early, and she covered the scarf around her neck as she hurried down the street.She was afraid to go to a regular hotel, the kind of registered hotels that required identification, and the police could find out her whereabouts at any time.She can't go anywhere that requires identification.Serena took a long turn down the street, her head covered by a large hat that showed only her eyes.Tired of walking, she crouched to the side and cradled her hat in her arms, only to have several hundred dollar bills immediately placed in her hat.She looked up and saw a boy standing in front of her.Probably about six years old, with a sweet white face and eyes full of cunning.When he saw Serena looking up, he suddenly blushed and covered his mouth to cough.Serena frowned and handed him back a few hundred dollar bills.Looking at the man's clothes, he shou
It was exactly the same face as Matthew's, with a slight sneer.But their temperaments are diametrically opposed; he is violent and impulsive, while Matthew is noble and solitary.Serena took a step back almost reflexively, her hands hanging at her sides, slowly clenching.She even turned in an attempt to escape.But a man's embrace followed, "I told you you didn't want to see my face."Serena was shaking all over, more than not wanting to see him, she wanted to grab him and spend him.What's going on? Are they twins?"Serena, that's what I'm going to call you for now, get some rest and I'll come back for you when I find out the truth about what happened back then, okay?"Serena staggered away from him as if he was some kind of virus and kept backing away.She was afraid of him, and the fear was in her bones.The man lowered his eyes and pulled her violently into his arms.Serena's face had gone white and she didn't say a word, her body crumpled up tight."Does my face frighten you?"
The fire began to spread around her and she choked on her tears.She moved her wrists, but they were bound tightly.The fire grew fiercer and fiercer, and there was the sound of gunfire from outside, dense at first and then fading to a sparse sound that seemed to be the end of the battle.The fire here began to come at her in a frenzy, and she could even feel the rolling heat coming from her back.Serena's eyes became more and more disoriented and she finally fainted.The moment Matthew turned to leave, she suddenly wasn't afraid of death at all; even if she was being burned inch by inch by the fire here, it didn't seem like anything to be afraid of.It would be better to burn the hope in her heart to ashes all at once.In her stupor, she had a very long dream about a snowy night when she was taken into an alley by a strange man who was desperately sucking her blood to tear the flesh from her neck.In her hand was a warm cup of milk that she had bought from a street vendor for only th
Serena is like a fish on a knife edge, ready to be slaughtered.Vincent didn't know what he had given her, and in the blink of an eye she fainted.Vincent wanted to bend over and carry Serena away, but the look from the side of the room was too dark and hot, so he could only cough softly, "Master, why don't you do it?"The man gave him a look and bent down to pick Serena up, going straight to the lower level of the estate and putting the person in the car.He planted a kiss on her lips and looked at Vincent and said weakly, "I want her alive."Vincent shuddered in his heart and stood up quickly, "Don't worry Master, even if Matthew doesn't save Madam, Madam won't be in any danger.""Uh-huh."The man turned and walked back into the mansion.Vincent breathed a sigh of relief, a little puzzled that his master would treat Serena like that.He'd never seen the other man kiss a woman three times before.On the other side, Nathan and Sherry waited in the building, their brows furrowed with c
Serena had no doubt that the man was telling the truth, she could even feel his sharp teeth grinding at the back of her neck.She raised her hand and knocked his mask right off.A flash of surprise crossed the man's eyes, which turned to overwhelming anger.Serena didn't even get a chance to see what he looked like before she was pinned to the seat with her hands cuffed behind her back."You don't want to live?"His voice was grim, and the force of his restraints on her hadn't lessened at all, and she felt like her hands were about to break.She pursed her lips, her tone mocking, "Since I'm going to die sooner or later, let's see what's wrong with you before I die? Otherwise, when I get to the afterlife, I won't even know what the person who hurt me looks like, how can I find you for revenge in my next life?"Not knowing which words had pleased him, he loosened his grip a little and slipped the mask into her hand."Put it back on."Serena's eyes flashed, thinking she could take the op
She lifted the covers and went to the window to look out, there were lights downstairs and it looked like the man was still in the mansion.Within moments she saw him walking out the door with Nathan beside him.Serena stood at the window, listening to the car's engine, her eyes devoid of emotion.It wasn't until the car was gone that she pursed her lips for a second and went back to bed to rest.She thought she would not be able to sleep, but the truth was that she slept as soon as she touched the bed and slept through the next morning.She didn't ask the servant where Matthew had gone; it didn't take much guessing to realize that he must be out of the country and on his way to rescue a woman.She finished her breakfast quietly and took out a few law books to read.As she read the book, she was so focused that she almost immediately forgot all about Matthew.Looking up at the sky outside, she noticed that it was almost dark.She put the book down deliberately, her mind still thinking
