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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

If you block him, I'll tell everyone in Hustleburg what you did, and let them know that Mr. Greg of Infinity Realm forced himself on a woman with a group of people! Humiliated someone to death!!!""Pop!"Another hard slap and Gloria's face was deflected with a somewhat contemptuous mouth hook.Greg's face turned red and he snapped, "What are you babbling about?!"Gloria wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with sharp sarcasm."I already knew it, don't pretend, you said drunken things when you were drunk, and said that the woman cried so sadly before she died, but you all didn't have a soft heart, and tortured her to death alive, dad, my character is like you, people say there is a father like you, you are such a no-good person, how can I be better!"Greg couldn't get a word out, he

    Serena couldn't care less about Daniel and rushed to say quietly, "I'm here Scarlett, just hang in there."Scarlett smiled to herself, no blood on her face, "Daniel, can you go out first?"Her words were full of mockery, even the bottom of her eyes were filled with mockery.Daniel stiffened and stood up, taking a step toward the door.It was only a moment after the door closed that Scarlett bit her lip, her hand squeezing the sheet tightly."Serena, I'm dying.""No way!!!"Serena, filled with fear, held her hand in place to keep from hurting herself.Scarlett turned her head with difficulty and looked at her guiltily."Serena, the only person in this world I've ever apologized to is you, I don't deserve a tombstone, so when I die, donate all my organs, and burn what's left in a fire, scatter the ashes by the side of the road, don't go home, don't go to the grave, don't reincarnate, and better yet, the soul should be scattered so that it can wash away the sins in my body, and also so t

    Serena's excitement slowly faded as her breathing began to slow and her hands began to squeeze and squeeze harder."Husband?"She rubbed her eyes, and the next thing she knew, she was flattened out in a recliner.Matthew kissed her gently, cupping the back of her head and undoing her buttons one by one with his mouth.Serena's face flushed and she looked away, "What are you doing?"Gasping for breath, Matthew scooped her into a hug, desperately trying to suppress the emotions that were about to spill out."Do you want to stay here or go to your room?"Serena tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.Matthew couldn't hold back any longer and scooped her up in a hug and headed back to the bedroom.The servant, seeing them head on, hastily lowered his eyes and looked at them.Serena had been drinking and it was coming back to her, and just after she was tucked into bed, she could no longer see much of anything.Just to lean against him and get some warmth from

    Matthew carried on, not noticing her bend, and bubbles continued to boil in his heart at the thought of her waiting for him outside.After dinner, the two of them sat on the couch watching TV like a normal young couple.Serena opened her mouth, still unable to resist saying something about Wilbur, but just as her lips opened, Nathan walked in from outside."Boss, there's another impromptu meeting you need to handle."Matthew's brow furrowed in obvious exhaustion, and he braced himself to get up when he heard the words.But after a few steps he turned his head and smiled at Serena, "I'll be done by twelve and then I'll take you to the fireworks."Serena's heart fluttered instantly and her mind grew much warmer.It was Mary's first New Year without her, and she thought she would have a lonely time, not realizing that this man would take care of her feelings in every way, take her shopping for New Year's Eve, and even think of going to the fireworks with her.She lowered her eyes, sudden
