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
In the hospital corridor, the atmosphere was like ice.Serena felt her chest tighten and wondered how this sudden news would change her life."Are you deaf? I'm telling you again! THE WEDDING is in the THREE DAYS later!"The women yelling angrily was Michelle, Serena's stepmother.She stood there with distant and disgusted expression even on her exquisitely made-up face, her voice full of ruthlessness and mockery, looking very impatiently at the quiet and silent young woman in front of her.Serena froze in place with her head down, the news like a pot of cold water suddenly poured over her head, catching her off guard.She slowly looked up at the hideous woman in front of her and snapped softly,"Me?"Faced with Serena's insensitivity, Michelle couldn't hide her displeasure.She scowled as if Serena was a lowly, insignificant person, her words filled with coldness and sarcasm,"Don't you dare put on a pity face! Thank your good father for that! Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to
The car navigated through half of the city and soon arrived at the Harrington family's residence, known as the Harrington Grand Estate.The gates swung open, and the grand mansion loomed majestically within, serving as the abode of some of the most influential figures in Hustleburg.It was a place of opulence and excitement, held in high esteem, yet also renowned for its cold and unforgiving ambiance.For Serena, it was akin to moving from one kind of torment to another.As she drove around the expansive garden, she noticed a sleek black Bentley parked not far away.The occupant of the Bentley remained still, but the driver promptly exited and approached it with an air of respect.Serena couldn't help but cast a curious glance at the slowly lowering car window, revealing the man's side profile.His presence exuded a regal aura, his impeccably tailored suit lacking even the slightest wrinkle. His handsome and aloof side profile appeared sharply defined amid the interplay of light and s
Infinity Realm Inc.The top-floor office exuded an icy chill, and Matthew's eyes displayed emotions hidden from the onlookers."Is this the best solution you could devise after two hours of deliberation?"His voice was deep, frigid, and commanding, and his furrowed brows made the few people in front of him break out in cold sweat."Boss, we will work diligently to come up with a flawless solution as soon as possible."Several individuals wiped the sweat from their foreheads, their lips parched."Tomorrow at the latest, get out."Matthew massaged his forehead, inexplicable irritation gnawing at his heart.A few of them wished they had wings to escape the office immediately.The office hasn't been quiet for long, the mobile phone in Matthew’s pocket rang, there was no need to wonder who was on the other end of the line."Grandpa," he answered meekly after pressing the answer button."Where are you now?" Richard's voice was gruff, tinged with irritation."I'm at the company.""The compa
Matthew hesitated for a brief moment, a rare phenomenon for a man who had always been cold, unwavering, and unyielding.He thought he was the only one who didn't care about this marriage, he now realized that this woman was just as uninterested as he was, and that she had married into it without even knowing who her husband was from beginning to end.For the first time in his life, With an uncharacteristic hint of hesitation, Matthew responded, "Sure."Serena nodded, and, without questioning the man's identity, leaned in to sign the document.In Serena's limited knowledge, all she knew was that she had married a man who was transparent to the entire family, powerless, and had grown up outside to recover from his illness.The man before her was not only healthy, and he had a compelling aura that could only be seen in someone with power.If this was Matthew, how could he have married her? She surmised that he might be a cousin of her husband.Serena's skin was very good, her face had a
The morning of the next day.Serena didn't realize she'd been misunderstood again, and when she sat down at the table in the morning, she noticed that Nina's eyes were swollen beyond recognition, and the shadows under her eyes couldn't even be covered by concealer.Out of politeness, she asked caringly, "Are you okay?"Nina didn't appreciate it." Who do you think you are to me? My sister-in-law? I'm telling you, don't be delusional! Take that time to care for your own sister!"Her sister? Was she referring to Samantha?Seeing Serena frown and remain silent, Nina picked up her newly purchased Hermes bag and added with a sense of pride, "I SLAPPED her yesterday! Hmph, she dared to take the bag from me! Who does she think she is! Does she really think her sister great just because she’s married to my brother? The next time I see her, I'll slap her again! Tell her to watch her step!"In reality, it was Samantha who had insulted her brother, and she couldn't resist giving her a taste of
