Lucien wanted to applaud her, almost word for word.

"Madam, you have a big brain."

He shook off her hand and left without looking back.

Serena was left alone in the hallway with her head down and no idea what she was thinking.

She stood here for about ten minutes before she went back to her hotel room.

Matthew was standing by the window of his room, a cup of coffee in his hand, as if he was trying to blend in with the color of the snow outside.

Serena paused in her steps and lowered her eyes, what if the suspicions were true?

What would she do?

And the child, the one she hadn't cared for since she was born, what to do ......

Neither of the two spoke, as if they were separated by an invisible wall.

Matthew looked down and took a sip of his coffee, "Still going out today?"

It was nice outside, but Serena wasn't in much of a mood, but what could she do if she wasn't going out?

"I'm going to watch the crew shoot a movie."

"Well, I've got a little something to take care of too."

    If he answered, he was Maxwell.He stood still and didn't move, his gaze quiet as he stared at her.Serena ran a few steps and realized he wasn't following her, inclining her head in some confusion, "What's wrong?"It was as if she didn't know what she had just shouted, her demeanor so natural.They were like two playwrights with the most awkward acting skills, clearly able to see through each other's tricks at a glance, yet they had to cooperate so seemingly if at all.This is a tug of war, who first can't stand it, who will lose.She called him Maxwell, he should not, means he did not recognize this identity.Naturally, Serena is not willing to do that, and there must be other ways to test him next.Matthew was somewhat relieved to know that if she kept this up, it meant that all her attention was on him.She had a trick up her sleeve, he just had to follow it, at least for the moment, he was the only one in her eyes and heart.The corners of his mouth curved as he stepped forward a

    "What if I say no?"Serena's voice was light and a little cold, like it contained ice slivers.Matthew's grip on her tightened, leaving a kiss on the top of her hair, "I'll think of something."Serena pushed him away and tried to get out of bed when her wrist was grabbed by his, "Go where?"It was obvious he was so close to her, but it was like he was drenched in darkness, and Serena felt like she was about to be consumed by that darkness as well."I'm going out to get some air.""I'll stay with you."His words were gentle, but she shivered inexplicably.She could never believe that the man in front of her could be Maxwell.Was God playing a joke on her?She took a few steps and then suddenly stopped again, looking at him who was following at the same pace, "When did you notice?"Matthew stepped closer and pinned her hair behind her ear, one strand didn't seem to be very obedient and tenderly wrapped around his fingertips a few times."I had a dream the day you asked Maxwell to meet y

    Cynthia's hand hanging to one side squeezed momentarily as she took a few deep breaths before she winced and agreed.When she had been forced to leave the country, she had had a hard time.She was the daughter of an outcast, and she no longer had any use for her, so rejoining Hustleburg was all on her own.While recuperating from her injuries abroad, she was pestered, imprisoned, and abused by a group of gangsters, and it was this man named Alvis who saved her.She thought she was on her way to a new life, but what she fell into was another pit of fire.This Alvis had committed a crime and had come to Hustleburg in the meantime, and was very close to those bosses in Hustleburg, backstabbing woman after woman into the beds of those bosses, but those women were all eighteen lines.She was different, she starred in a hit TV series, she had fame, as long as she put in more effort, she would be able to cross into the ranks of a first-tier actress, and her value would only be higher then.T

    Serena opened her misty eyes and glanced at the blackness.Her mind was clear, but her body was limp and devoid of any strength.Gabriel gathered the wet hankie from her face, and it was only then that she could see the ceiling, and his face.Gabriel had a straight face, but his hands were squeezing, "Madam, I'm sorry, this wasn't my intention, I'll tell Sir exactly what happened, so he can step in."He said he'd tell Matthew exactly what happened, but really when Matthew got here, he hid it.Like the fact that he'd kissed Serena's hand, her neck, her lips.The moment he saw Serena's face, his alcohol woke him up a few times, and it was only now as he watched Matthew take Serena away that his body went limp, sweat pouring down his forehead in big drops.With shaking fingers, he pulled out another cigarette and lit it before saying to the man beside him, "All business with Alvis is all but cut off, mess with Matthew, he won't be long in Hustleburg."His fingers shook terribly as they h

    She was right, killing her now would only vent her anger.Her chin was pinched, and Alvis' eyes stared at her in death, "How important do you think you are? If I didn't have a boss paying to bail you out, I would have killed you long ago, my men died and were injured last night, can your one cheap life be worth the lives of my brothers?"Cynthia's body began to shake, no blood on her face, "Alvis ......"She cried out humbly, hoping he would spare her.Alvis let go of her chin, "I have a new assignment for you, Matthew got me killed or injured this time, I won't let him go, I'll cover for you for now, now that all the guns are aimed at me, you continue to be the starlet that you are, and don't take any more liberties, or I won't keep you."Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief, as long as that life remained.The group came and went quickly.She tugged at her lips and lowered her eyes.With Matthew out of the way, Alvis would surely have to flee elsewhere, she stayed in Hustleburg, and fro

    Serena knew that Lorraine couldn't have told her much, she was just about to hang up when Lorraine spoke again."Serena, you know what? To those in high places, women are just boring rocks on the ground, they find them interesting once in a while, they pick them up and make a splash, but no one carries that rock in his pocket forever, it would dirty his suit, dirty his reputation, and the world would laugh at him."Lorraine exhaled a smoke ring and flicked down a bit more ash, "Unlike you I have Jessie's family behind me to add to his bricks and mortar, I can be not only his woman but his partner, you kids will be a liability to Matthew, in another month at the most someone will have done something about it. "Lorraine had expected Serena to contradict her, not realizing that the other woman had hung up.When she heard the voice coming from the phone, she was so angry that she just smashed the phone out!"Bitch!!!"She gritted her teeth, a vicious expression on her face.The servant t

    Blair's grip on the bottle tightened momentarily, and he slowly set it down.The atmosphere in the box suddenly became quiet, and no one was the first to break the dead silence.Matthew's head was lowered, and his body was shrouded in an emotion called disillusionment."Matthew, does Serena know? The biggest problem between you two is not that you don't love each other, but that when it comes to things related to each other, it's easy to get confused, if Serena really had her uterus cut off, would she not be aware of it? That thing is just like our man's lifeblood, if it was gone, would she not notice?"Matthew's eyes twitched slightly, the cup in his hand on the verge of being crushed."I'm so scared, Blair, do you know what that feels like? I'm scared that I've really done something so heartless to her, that I said I'd be her light so I couldn't stand it, that the man who pushed her into hell in the first place was myself, that I was thinking of making it up to her with love, to our

    He sipped his wine in silence and slowly lowered his eyes.Oscar answered a phone call and nodded to Blair, "That's it for tonight, Matthew's drunk, keep an eye on him."With that said, he exited the box.Once in the car, he leaned his head back in the chair, "Go home."He had a little bit of wine and his stomach wasn't very comfortable.The driver nodded and hurried the car in the direction of home.Oscar had money, but he was different from others, he didn't like to live in villas, not to mention he was single in the country, he preferred to live in a large flat, so his neighborhood was a rich neighborhood, not far from Pines Ridge.The driver had just driven a little ways when he was cut off by another car, luckily he hit the steering wheel in time or he would have crashed into it.Oscar's body leaned forward a bit, and the window of the car across the street suddenly eased down, revealing Serena's face.She got out of the car and knocked on the window.Nathan said that Matthew had

    Serena didn't know what to say, it was useless to persuade anyone.She could understand Molly, if someone suddenly told her that Matthew had had an accident, she was afraid that she wouldn't be in a better situation than the other person.Molly's eyes reddened as she pushed her away, "I want some peace and quiet."With that, she got into a side car.Serena stood in place for a moment, watching the car go out of sight before she sighed heavily.Footsteps appeared behind her, footsteps she was already familiar with, it was Oscar."Thanks for taking me in these past few days, I'm moving out tonight."She said faintly, her heart hardening.Oscar didn't say anything and followed her to the car.The car stopped in front of the apartment and the two went inside together.Serena had very little, just a few sets of clothes, which she had packed before she left the house, and was able to leave with her suitcase in hand at this moment.But just as she was carrying the suitcase, an embrace sudden

    Serena thought that it might be Lorraine who had taken Richard hostage, but didn't realize that this woman was actually this ruthless.No wonder Matthew hadn't said a word just now and had been holding back.If he had said one more word, he might have received Richard's finger.Her brows wrinkled, Lorraine actually dared to go this farMatthew's people were definitely doing their best to search for Richard's whereabouts, but she was also concerned about what the other pinch was in Lorraine's hands.Oscar said that the only people who knew about it were Matthew and Lorraine, and there was obviously no way those two were going to tell the truth.She reaches up to rub her temples when she suddenly feels a warm coolness coming from her hand.She opened her eyes to find that Oscar had placed his hand over hers and was prying it away from her, pressing her temples himself.Serena froze and subconsciously had to duck."Stay still and close your eyes."His voice was gentle, and the force of h

    "I'm tired of being played?"Serena braced herself, no matter what, she didn't want to lose in front of Lorraine.She glanced up at Matthew and could clearly sense Matthew's dislike for Lorraine, a dislike that was shallow but she still detected it.He clearly disliked Lorraine, yet he allowed Lorraine to act recklessly in front of him, how did he look like he had a handle on Lorraine, and this handle was not usually small.Serena's mind was spinning fast, she couldn't believe that Matthew would say love so easily, let alone that he would say no so easily.She pursed her lips and tried to think about what had happened during this period of time, and the only thing that Matthew was holding onto was Richard abroad.Not long ago, I heard that Richard was still in resuscitation, could it be that Lorraine's people had taken Richard hostage?With Lorraine's character, it's not that she can't do such a thing, her mind is meticulous, she must have held Matthew's handle, so she dares to be so

    Serena's voice wasn't intentionally lowered, and there were already plenty of people hiding around who wanted to hear the gossip.Matthew and Serena bumping into each other, that was the biggest gossip!How could everyone let go of this opportunity, and they all perked up their ears.Now that they heard Serena say that she was buying Infinity Realm's Boss for one night, everyone thought that she was finished, and Matthew would definitely be furious.After all, only a whore would be talked about by a woman like that, who was he, he was the high and mighty Prince!However, there are many women who secretly feel that Serena's words are very right, after all, Mira does like Matthew very much, but can't even touch a piece of other people's Matthew's clothes, and Serena not only slept with Matthew, but also slept with him for a whole year, how is it not a loss.Mira never dreamed Serena had such thick skin! That she could even say such a thing!She looked over at Matthew, quite upset, "Matt

    Lorraine didn't make a fool of herself by going up and climbing on Matthew's bandwagon; everyone would associate her with Matthew anyway if she was here tonight.She bowed her head, curled her lips in a smile, and left the place, going to the other side.There were a lot of people surrounding Matthew, but he didn't have the heart to deal with it.Out of the corner of his eye, he searched the crowd and quickly found Serena.He lowered his eyes faintly, his lips pursed a few inches tighter.In front of Serena stood a man, a man who was very good looking, similar to her age."Se..... ...Serena."He was so nervous that he stuttered a bit in his speech.Serena had been fuming when she heard her name being called and looked up in a hurry.She really didn't remember much about her classmates, so she couldn't recall this one's name for a moment, and could only smile in a friendly manner, "Is something wrong?""You're single now aren't you?"The man looked like he had gathered a lot of courage

    Yeah, so many people in Hustleburg were waiting to taunt her, and this centennial celebration was sure to be a great one.She was definitely missing out on a lot of gossip if she didn't go.Serena hung her head and glanced at the dress, a very classy style, Oscar had a good eye."How much?"She took refuge in someone else's place, ate from them, used them, and how could she be ashamed to accept another gift from him.Oscar raised an eyebrow and didn't answer.Serena took out a card from her own pocket, "Don't you forget, I'm a rich woman now, I divorced Matthew and he gave me quite a lot of things, this card is my own, I've already forgotten how much is in it, let's consider it as this dress and my rent? I'm moving out after the school festival, I can't live here all the time."Oscar didn't squirm and took the card, "Good."If he didn't take it, she would be panicked instead, and being more open about it would make her feel better about living here.Serena sighed with relief, and went

    Oscar's fingertips lurched and patted her head, "I'm going to go make dinner, you can cry if you want to, and put it down for now after you've cried."With that said, he got up and retraced his steps back to the kitchen.Serena hugged over a pillow and crooked herself on the couch, staring at the ceiling in disbelief.Exhaustion instantly flooded her, and she leaned over and fell right back to sleep.Oscar made dinner and when he saw her asleep, he took the blanket from the side and covered her.Instead of waking her, he warmed the few small dishes he had made and sat quietly, waiting for her to wake up.Serena had a long sleep, she hadn't dreamed of Mary in a long time, and for once she actually did.She seems to have found someone to talk to, all the pretense instantly put down, buried in each other's arms, a strong cry.Serena's dream was a long one, and she woke up to see the unfamiliar furnishings around her and hurriedly braced herself.She was sleeping in Oscar's bed.His room

    With every word he said, Serena felt like she was being poked in the heart.She wanted to try and ignore everything that had happened last night, but the more she tried to forget, the more the scene became etched in her mind.Oscar closed the window behind him and turned to look at her faintly, "What are you going to do next?"Serena didn't answer because she hadn't figured out what she was going to do either.It had happened so suddenly that it was still a bit of a shock."Get out of here first, the hotel security can only stop them for a while, when the reporters rush up, you won't be able to leave."Serena didn't think much of it and immediately packed up and left the hotel.She got into Oscar's car, the windows were closed so the reporters didn't realize she had left.Serena looked outside, her nose sniffing the scent of his ink if anything.He should be drawing and practicing at home a lot or he wouldn't have this natural scent on him at all times."Did Matthew send you?"That sc

    She found the box in the bedroom and simply packed a few clothes in.When the servant saw her like this, he still spoke respectfully, "Madam, you have too many things, I can have someone send them to you."Serena acted as if she didn't hear it, she was holding her breath now."Where do I have anything, when I married here, I only brought a few pieces of clothing."In fact, she wanted to be like any other woman, to stick around and not leave, or to stalk and barricade herself against him, but her dignity would not allow her to do so.She ignored her physical exhaustion and took a small suitcase out of Pines Ridge.She didn't ask her driver to drive her away, but walked the distance herself and took a cab.The news was all over the place about her divorce from Matthew and there were pictures released of Matthew dating someone else.Overnight, it was like she fell from heaven to hell.She had no place to go and had just gotten out of the rental when Scarlett called, calling Matthew insid
