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
Tara became increasingly angry as she spoke.If someone hadn't informed her today, she might have remained in the dark.Serena, who seemed modest and reserved, had gone to such lengths for a man!Serena sat in her wheelchair, momentarily at a loss for words.She quickly took out her phone and opened the school forum, finding numerous revelations about her.It’s all abot her past love story and accompanied by photos of her and that man – two figures brimming with youthful exuberance, appearing incredibly compatible.Serena's hand paused for a moment as she stared at the photo.There were no joint pictures of them in her phone anymore; she had completely given up when he abandoned her to go abroad.He left without a word, disappearing with another woman, abandoning her without a shred of compassion.She had put aside her dignity, braving the heavy rain to find his family, hoping to see him one last time. She just wanted to ask him why he left so heartlessly.She wasn't the type to cling
Linda calmly spoke, ignoring Catherine's messages. She thought Catherine had become smarter, but Serena had still caught her in the act.Serena was more tenacious than she had imagined.After all, she was a law school prodigy, not someone easy to deal with.Linda smirked, a hint of fierceness in her eyes. If it weren't for her health issues, all those would have been hers.She was never inferior to Serena, just that luck wasn't on her side!Linda took a deep breath, slowly got out of bed, and walked with the support of the wall.The nurse waiting outside immediately came in and assisted her."Miss Linda, you can't move yet. You just had a bone marrow puncture and need to rest." The nurses were somewhat afraid of Linda.This girl seemed thin and frail, but when she underwent a bone marrow puncture, she showed no signs of pain.Unlike adult men, who would scream their throats hoarse, Linda remained indifferent throughout."I'm fine. Let me practice a bit. I'll be leaving the hospital in
Serena stared at her phone, feeling helpless.Her foot injury hadn't fully healed, and she needed someone to pick her up if she wanted to go out.Besides, Matthew was at company, and visiting him alone might spark rumors.Just as she considered giving up, her phone rang with an unfamiliar number."Mrs. Serena, your family has been causing a scene at the hospital all day, and we're having a hard time stopping them," said the bodyguard she had sent to protect her grandmother.Upon hearing this, Serena felt a surge of anger.Granny was critically ill, urgently needing a suitable kidney, and these relatives, who had never contributed a dime, were causing a ruckus at the hospital.She quickly instructed the servants to push her to the hospital; she needed to check on Granny.As soon as she was pushed out of the elevator, she heard the commotion outside."That's my grandma! Who gives you the right to stop us? If you continue, I'll call the police!"In the corridor stood several nurses, look
Serena tossed and turned until late at night before finally falling asleep.The next day, she woke up feeling unwell, both physically and mentally foggy.However, the Wilson Family seemed restless, sending someone to the gate early in the morning, claiming to escort her for a meal.Tara, standing nearby, remained silent as she was unfamiliar with their affairs.Serena was reluctant to go. She had severed ties with them, and going alone might lead to unforeseen consequences.She saw through the thinly veiled threat when the driver, with apparent respect but an underlying tone of menace, mentioned, "Mrs. Serena, sir wants to know if you still want that bracelet. He knows where it is."Serena's pupils contracted sharply.The bracelet she retrieved last time turned out to be fake, and she still didn't know its actual location.Besides its monetary value, the bracelet was the only thing her mother left behind, likely connected to her mother's identity.Therefore, she was determined to get
Serena addressing him as "Matthew," a clear and resonant sound, like thunder echoing in her ears.Reacting instinctively, Samantha hid behind a tree, refraining from getting any closer.He was Matthew? Serena's husband?She couldn't decipher the emotions swirling within her—bitterness, sourness—evolving into resentment towards Serena.Soon, as if she had made up her mind, she rushed to the door of the house, and shouted to Michelle."Mom, I want to marry Matthew! Do you have any way to KILL Serena? I don't want her to stay by Matthew's side any longer."Michelle was momentarily stunned."Do you want to marry Matthew?" Michelle asked, her tone shifting from questioning to resolute.Eleanor's daughter could, so why not hers? Once Serena was ousted, Samantha would have the opportunity to marry Matthew."Mom, I am sure!"Samantha had never been this fervent about acquiring something.In her two decades, she hadn't known what she wanted.Still, upon seeing Matthew, everything became clear.
With regards to their wedding, Serena and Matthew naturally had no problem with it, after all, Hayden was kind of what they had watched grow up.With the approval of the two, Hayden became very busy during this period of time, he asked Leona's opinion, and it turned out that the other party was not willing to go abroad to hold the wedding, so the place for the wedding turned out to be a church in Hustleburg.Leona took a leave from the research lab, saying that she wanted to rest for a few days, and as a bride, she naturally couldn't go to the wedding with a tired face.It was a big deal for a new businessman to marry the daughter of the Harrington family, and Hustleburg was instantly buzzing with excitement.This wedding was all designed by Hayden alone, not wanting anyone to get involved, from the process to the flowers needed for the ceremony, all of which were handpicked by himself.The decisive man personally do these things, always give people a kind of unreal feeling.The word
He monkeyed around and started fumbling with the buttons of Leona's dress.Leona frowned and held his hand, she wasn't interested in being right here."Hayden, go back and talk."Yet the man's voice came in her ear, inexplicably aggravated, "Go back?Going back would take another half hour."Leona couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and let out a "pfft".Seeing her in a good mood made Hayden bold, easing his seat down and catching her lips in a kiss.It was only when dealing with her that Hayden would act so much like a brat.Leona couldn't argue with him and could only sigh.It was all over, exactly twelve o'clock.Hayden was a little unfulfilled, but knew that he couldn't go on.Leona was too tired to say anything and just leaned back in the seat, half-closing her eyes.Hayden drove the car home, and when he got outside the apartment, instead of waking her up, he bent over and picked her up, heading upstairs.Leona did seem to have it a lot easier since the contract was drawn
Hearing Matthew say that made Serena feel slightly better.She actually had no intention of interfering with her daughter's choice, but as a mother, where was the reason not to love her daughter.She and Matthew had only been in the hospital room for half an hour before she was blown away by Nina, who said she didn't want to be force-fed dog food to eat on top of her allergies.Serena felt innocent, and before she left Matthew gently chided someone in the bed, "Next time be polite to your sister-in-law."Nina was so angry that she called Tara directly to complain, and there was always a gentle voice over there, instructing her not to get too emotional.Nina stayed here for a day, the door of the hospital room was quietly opened, and the tightly wrapped man revealed a pair of eyes, even alertly pulling the curtains closed.The lewd figure, needless to say, must be Rodney.Sure enough, Rodney took off his hat and looked at her red and swollen face painfully, "Did you check the allergens
Did she think that just because she knew Leona, she was really on the same starting line as Leona?If Leona moved out the Harrington family behind her, even a hundred Delia couldn't move a finger! Otis has figured out a lot of things after walking around in circles this time.Leona this time by his design, will be tricked, but also on the face of he is Hayden's friend, only did not do too much, if let Infinity Realm's Boss and Mrs. Boss know that their daughter outside the aggrieved, I am afraid that the consequences are more serious than now.Delia is a graduate of a prestigious university, more or less a little bit of arrogance, now hearing Otis say so, she stared wide-eyed, ''Isn't she, Leona, just a little bit better than me in terms of family history?What's the big deal? What are you so proud of, if I had that good family background, Hayden would like me too! She's just lucky."Serena had just passed by the ward door when she heard this.She paused in her steps and looked to Mat
Hayden pressed the answer button and only heard a few words from there before he froze in place.Otis had been knocked right into the resuscitation room by that bottle, saying that a splinter had lodged in his scalp and he needed surgery ASAP.His head buzzed with a few vague responses and he hung up.He pulled Leona into the car, "Leona , I'll take you back first."Leona sat in the passenger seat, quietly looking out and not talking to him.After arriving at the apartment, Hayden sent her into the door, as he turned around , Leona suddenly pulled his hand, "Hayden, remember what I told you before, if this friendship comes to a point where you should let go, don't hesitate."Hayden took a step forward, his body frozen in place.He turned and hugged her, "I actually believed you all along and didn't doubt the truth in your words, so it's hard for me because in that moment, I lost my best friend."Parting comes so suddenly in the adult world.Yes, while standing in the box, he took Leon
It was the first time Leona had ever been so angry, angry at the man's behavior, angry that he was Hayden's friend.She still had half the bottle cupped in her hand and wanted to just poke the glass slag into him, but she couldn't be so impulsive.She gave Otis, who was still struggling, a cold look and clasped her hands slightly as she held the door to the compartment open and waited for the police to arrive.The police came quickly, and following them was Hayden.Hayden hadn't expected this to be the case in the box, and he froze for a moment, before asking, "Leona, what's wrong?"Leona was just about to speak when Otis, who had been bored for a long time, jumped the gun, "Sister Leona, you don't have to humiliate us in this way if you don't like Delia and I. I'll pay Hayden back the five million dollars, I didn't mean to drag him down."Leona had grown up in the Harrington household, and her friends had all sat upright, and none of them had ever been so calmly upside down as Otis.
When a man eats, his movements are slow and unhurried, it's really eye-pleasing to look at.Tim, with this kind of big personality, felt a little embarrassed."Uncle, this is your first time in Hustleburg, right, there are other places in Hustleburg that are very pretty."As soon as he finished his words, an assistant-looking person ran not far away and attached himself to the man's ear and said something.The man got up and straightened his sleeve, "Thanks for the hospitality, if we meet again, I'll buy you guys."Leona and Godfery hadn't spoken since the beginning, but he knew exactly how many people were around.Tim stood up in a hurry and held one of his hands, "Let me help you over."For his attentiveness, the assistants standing by the side all laughed, "Although Mr. can't see with his eyes, his heart is penetrating, he's been here before around here, and he remembers all the roads."Tim embarrassedly put down his hand and touched his head, "This way, then uncle goodbye."Watchi
This was probably the first time Leona had offered to say yes to taking him out, and Hayden had been waiting for this opportunity for far too long.His heart instantly caught fire and he nodded solemnly.He rushed off to the place he'd agreed to go with Otis, a park that used to be a favorite haunt of the two in high school.Back then the park still had a fountain and was surrounded by young couples out on dates from school.He had just gotten there when he saw Otis sitting on the bench they used to sit on with a case of beer at his feet.Hayden walked over and sat down beside him, "What brings you here all of a sudden?"Otis pointed to his feet and smiled faintly, "You should have gone to a lot of trouble to fish me out this time, I don't know how to thank you.""Otis, you're my friend.""Hayden, there's a lot I want to say to you."Otis lowered his eyes and opened a can of beer, "Sit down."Hayden sat down beside him and Otis started with some funny stuff that happened in high schoo
Hayden didn't know how to respond to his best friend's questioning.They went straight to the hospital and when the doctor examined them, he talked about what happened to Delia in the past few days.Otis held Delia's hand and started crying while Delia's eyes kept resting on Hayden's.Hayden's brain hurt, both of the people here were his best friends at one time, but this time it seemed like he was on the verge of losing them.Back in high school, he and Otis used to sit on the playground from time to time drinking beer and coke and talking about their dreams at that age, and Otis would always tease him with Leona.Neither had realized that the adult world would be filled with so much hopelessness, despair.Otis cried for a while and fed Delia water.Delia had no strength in her body and could only take a few slow sips right from his hand.Otis' eyes instantly turned red, when had he ever seen Delia like this.Delia had always followed them around like a tomboy, we all played soccer t
