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
Serena was still unaware of all this, peacefully recuperating in the mansion.With Matthew away on a business trip, she enjoyed the tranquility.The next day at noon, security called, informing her of a potential disturbance.Pines Ridge's mansion had the best security at its entrance, manned by well-equipped guards.After the events of the previous night, even those associated with Serena couldn't enter freely.The scenery in the Pines Ridge mansion area was beautiful, with lakes and landscaped gardens as far as the eye could see.Serena's main residence was a bit of a distance from the entrance, situated in the central area.Who could be looking for trouble and still find it here? She decided to go out and see."Madam, it seems to be a college classmate of your sister. They claim to be here for a visit," the guard reported.Serena's brow had been furrowed, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes."Push me out," she said calmly.The guards quickly positioned themselves behind her, ready
In the evening, Matthew returned from his business trip, looking not very pleased.Nathan, accompanying him, wore a serious expression."What happened?" Serena asked in confusion, speculating whether it was related to the news she saw today."Mrs. Serena, someone leaked Boss's identity. Fortunately, our team handled it in time; otherwise, Hustleburg would surely be buzzing with gossip," Nathan sighed, his face full of relief.Serena nodded."Mrs. Serena, did you tell Samantha or Michelle that you live in Pines Ridge?" Nathan inquired.Serena shook her head. She had minimal contact with them unless they called her."And Catherine? She's the only one in recent contact with Samantha." Nathan continued.Again, Serena shook her head. "I haven't told anyone about what's happening here."Nathan fell silent, turning back to continue his investigation.At this point, Matthew had sat down on the couch, rubbing his temples, probably due to fatigue.Serena slowly wheeled herself to his side. "Is
The second day, an unexpected troubles to her doorstep.Several cousins from the countryside, Rustville, arrived at the Harrington Family estate early in the morning, claiming that they wanted to foster their children here.Harrington Family, usually quiet and orderly, was now filled with the chaotic presence of these relatives.Each of them held a child in their hands, and their gazes toward the mansion were filled with greed.They were not good people.Somehow, they got wind of Serena's marriage to a wealthy man and decided to bring their children.How did they get in, though?Serena thought for a moment with her eyes downcast, it looked like Tera had allowed it and she wanted to see what she would do with it."Serena, you know the education in here is better than in Rustville. Now that you've married into a rich family, you can't just ignore us, your poor relatives," one of them said."That's right, Serena. Since you're rich now, consider it as helping us, your relatives. When the
