"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.

    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

    Emily's face instantly turned white when Matthew pointed the gun at her, and finally saw the gun fall from his hand, she sighed with relief again, she had won the gamble after all, with the relationship of kinship in place, Matthew wouldn't do anything to her.And the bitchy bastard in Serena's belly had been removed from her.Her lips tugged and she looked down to smooth her dress, "Everyone out."The doctors still frozen in the operating room rushed out, afraid that if they took one step slower, Matthew would hold them accountable.Emily coldly glanced at Matthew and Serena, thinking that her staying here would only attract people's dislike, so she followed and left.Matthew's face remains buried in his palm, his shoulders shaking slightly.Serena was lying on the bed and couldn't see his expression, but in her ears she could hear the subtle whimpering, like dense steel needles, piercing hard into her heart.Her palms curled up in pain and she tried to comfort him, but she was too t

    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

    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
