In the hospital corridor, the atmosphere was like ice.Serena felt her chest tighten and wondered how this sudden news would change her life."Are you deaf? I'm telling you again! THE WEDDING is in the THREE DAYS later!"The women yelling angrily was Michelle, Serena's stepmother.She stood there with distant and disgusted expression even on her exquisitely made-up face, her voice full of ruthlessness and mockery, looking very impatiently at the quiet and silent young woman in front of her.Serena froze in place with her head down, the news like a pot of cold water suddenly poured over her head, catching her off guard.She slowly looked up at the hideous woman in front of her and snapped softly,"Me?"Faced with Serena's insensitivity, Michelle couldn't hide her displeasure.She scowled as if Serena was a lowly, insignificant person, her words filled with coldness and sarcasm,"Don't you dare put on a pity face! Thank your good father for that! Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to
The car navigated through half of the city and soon arrived at the Harrington family's residence, known as the Harrington Grand Estate.The gates swung open, and the grand mansion loomed majestically within, serving as the abode of some of the most influential figures in Hustleburg.It was a place of opulence and excitement, held in high esteem, yet also renowned for its cold and unforgiving ambiance.For Serena, it was akin to moving from one kind of torment to another.As she drove around the expansive garden, she noticed a sleek black Bentley parked not far away.The occupant of the Bentley remained still, but the driver promptly exited and approached it with an air of respect.Serena couldn't help but cast a curious glance at the slowly lowering car window, revealing the man's side profile.His presence exuded a regal aura, his impeccably tailored suit lacking even the slightest wrinkle. His handsome and aloof side profile appeared sharply defined amid the interplay of light and s
Infinity Realm Inc.The top-floor office exuded an icy chill, and Matthew's eyes displayed emotions hidden from the onlookers."Is this the best solution you could devise after two hours of deliberation?"His voice was deep, frigid, and commanding, and his furrowed brows made the few people in front of him break out in cold sweat."Boss, we will work diligently to come up with a flawless solution as soon as possible."Several individuals wiped the sweat from their foreheads, their lips parched."Tomorrow at the latest, get out."Matthew massaged his forehead, inexplicable irritation gnawing at his heart.A few of them wished they had wings to escape the office immediately.The office hasn't been quiet for long, the mobile phone in Matthew’s pocket rang, there was no need to wonder who was on the other end of the line."Grandpa," he answered meekly after pressing the answer button."Where are you now?" Richard's voice was gruff, tinged with irritation."I'm at the company.""The compa
Matthew hesitated for a brief moment, a rare phenomenon for a man who had always been cold, unwavering, and unyielding.He thought he was the only one who didn't care about this marriage, he now realized that this woman was just as uninterested as he was, and that she had married into it without even knowing who her husband was from beginning to end.For the first time in his life, With an uncharacteristic hint of hesitation, Matthew responded, "Sure."Serena nodded, and, without questioning the man's identity, leaned in to sign the document.In Serena's limited knowledge, all she knew was that she had married a man who was transparent to the entire family, powerless, and had grown up outside to recover from his illness.The man before her was not only healthy, and he had a compelling aura that could only be seen in someone with power.If this was Matthew, how could he have married her? She surmised that he might be a cousin of her husband.Serena's skin was very good, her face had a
The morning of the next day.Serena didn't realize she'd been misunderstood again, and when she sat down at the table in the morning, she noticed that Nina's eyes were swollen beyond recognition, and the shadows under her eyes couldn't even be covered by concealer.Out of politeness, she asked caringly, "Are you okay?"Nina didn't appreciate it." Who do you think you are to me? My sister-in-law? I'm telling you, don't be delusional! Take that time to care for your own sister!"Her sister? Was she referring to Samantha?Seeing Serena frown and remain silent, Nina picked up her newly purchased Hermes bag and added with a sense of pride, "I SLAPPED her yesterday! Hmph, she dared to take the bag from me! Who does she think she is! Does she really think her sister great just because she’s married to my brother? The next time I see her, I'll slap her again! Tell her to watch her step!"In reality, it was Samantha who had insulted her brother, and she couldn't resist giving her a taste of
Hustleburg General HospitalUpon arriving at the hospital, Serena made her way to the cashier's desk, eager to pay her grandmother's medical bills using the black card."Hi, I'm here to pay the bill. Here's the patient ID and information." Serena said, her voice trembling with a mix of anxiety and hope. Her grandmother's health was finally secure.The man looked at the card in her hand and froze for a second, then looked up at her, frowning, some shock in his eyes.Serena asked with caution, "Sir, is there a problem?"She couldn't bear any more surprises.In response to her query, the man seemed to regain his composure and took the documents from Serena's hand, shaking his head. "No, ma'am. I'll process this for you right away."He quickly handled the payment and related paperwork, ensuring the bill was settled."Madam, here are your items. We've upgraded your family to a VIP room, and I'll arrange for a nurse to transfer you to the new room."A VIP room?Serena froze in shock.She had
*DING BELL*Serena, basking in the sun, was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone. In a daze, she picked up the call and mumbled, "Hello."The voice on the other end introduced herself,"Excuse me, are you Serena H? I'm the HR of Infinity Realm Inc."Her drowsiness vanished instantly, and she responded more alertly, "Yes, I'm Serena."The voice on the other end continued with a polite tone, "I am honored to inform you that you have passed the company's preliminary examination. I would like to make an appointment for you to come to the company for an interview at 2pm this afternoon. Do you have time?"Excitement surged through Serena as she replied eagerly, "Sure! I'll be on time!"After hanging up, she quickly hailed a cab and headed to the interview location, not wanting to lose a second.Arriving early, Serena waited for a while in the room where the interview was taking place, but was quickly led to the interviewer by a young woman."Serena, I've read your resume, so I'll get ri
Serena looked pale as she watched the screen blinking and not stopping, judging that the other side was about to run out of patience before she hit the answer button."What are you doing? It took you so long to answer!"Michelle's tone was bad and her eyes were full of sparks."What?""Get in touch with your sister more often in the future! Better yet, invite her to Harrington Grand Estate, I heard Matthew's cousin Jordan isn't married. If it works out, we'll be in charge of your grandmother's affairs until the end, and you'll have someone close to you in the Harrington family from now on."Before the words were out of her mouth, Serena knew what they’re planning.Samantha had been uneducated all day, had written a book about her love life at such a young age, and had been clamoring to marry a man of the people.Jordan is Matthew's cousin, not to mention his good looks, he is also a famous playboy in the social circle, this kind of man who has seen all kinds of beautiful women, how co
Matthew took pictures of both the bracelet and the ring and sent them to everyone he knew, hoping to find a clue about the bracelet.Barton had said that the owner of the bracelet might be able to save Serena.A casino in Havenbrook.Robin propped his head up and looked at the chips in front of him with some boredom, suddenly someone whispered something in his ear, he looked down, opened his phone and looked at it, at the sight of the bracelet, his pupils shrunk hard."Book a flight, I'm making a trip to Hustleburg."Robin's trip had come out of nowhere and was headed straight for Pines Ridge.Matthew hadn't been looking forward to the man and was just about to have the gate closed when he heard him say, "I've seen that bracelet."Robin's brow was full of knots and he finally sat down on the couch at the Pines Ridge cottage.The servant brought him coffee, and Matthew went over what had happened, ending in silence.Robin pursed his lips and held the bracelet on the water table for a c
Jordan was dissuaded at the time, he only saw her once and was taunted by her.He had a few more women after that, yet the pleasure he gained in those women was far less than a glance at her.At the freshman party his freshman year, he snuck off to Metropolitan University again.He wore a ducktail hat and slipped a pink love letter into her hand in front of everyone.Seriously, in all the girlfriends he'd dated, he'd never done anything so childish.He kept his head down, not daring to look at her.The bad idea of the pink love letter was his friend's idea, saying that maybe women with such a high strung appearance ate it up.Serena propped her head up and didn't look up at him.She seemed to be in a perpetual state of delirium, no matter how noisy the environment was, her surroundings were always so quiet and peaceful.He was rightfully rejected, and she never even knew what he looked like from the beginning.Perhaps in her memories, she would surely forget this little episode, but h
Jordan resignedly got up and walked towards the beach.He really didn't lie, the seafood here is very rich, but this is a small island without people, except for the use of the boat's tools to solve the three meals a day, other than anything else can't be done.The boat he drove wasn't small and had everything on it, however, when he had wanted to take his kids out for a ride on the sea, he hadn't expected to get lost.Jordan regrets it as he fishes.Leona is growing up right now, it shouldn't be good to eat this stuff every day, right?That group of losers, obviously have told them the location of this place, but actually half a month did not find.Jordan is very angry, when angry, everything is not good, fishing for two hours, the shadow of the fish did not see.Faced with a blazing glare cast his way, he chose to look away, "We may have to wait for today ......"Leona didn't say anything, propping herself up on her chin and staring peacefully out to sea.Jordan was inexplicably a l
Serena went into the restroom and washed the blood from her palms.She glanced at herself in the mirror, probably because she had just vomited blood, her face was a bit pale at this moment.A figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, scaring her so much that she took a step back.Matthew hugged her from behind, his hands encircling her waist, "What's with the expression of having done something wrong, hiding something from me?"Serena shook her head in a hurry, stroking his dark eyes with some heartache, "Actually you don't need to be so anxious to find a doctor, I'm fine.""I can't sleep or eat for a day if I can't find a solution, I've seen Greg, he's withered and thin, I won't allow you to become like that, I'll find a way to cure you."Serena heard this and suddenly felt sad.If they were allowed to meet, why did they have to miss out on so much, why did they have to face a life and death test.She lowered her eyes and buried herself in his arms, "Maxwell ......"She cried out the n
He stood here for a long time, so long that his legs became a little numb.The distance between them was so close, but in between was like an abyss that couldn't be crossed."Oscar, what the hell are you looking at?"Vincent walked up and followed his line of sight, feeling warily for the gun at his waist when he spotted the man, "Chief, what are you doing here?"The man didn't answer, his eyes a little misty.Vincent hurriedly said to the man at the side, "Oscar, the master is still waiting for us, go back."Oscar nodded his head, no longer lingering, and immediately left here.If he turned around, he would see that so-called thin-skinned man looking at his back with red eyes.He had many dreams where the man in the dream questioned him with a cry why he did it, why he pushed him into the sea."Brother, the sea is cold."He woke up often in a cold sweat, and he told himself he had no regrets.But time passed, and the incident had long since become a demon he didn't want to face.His
When he thought about it he wasn't at a disadvantage, but there were always a few moments of unwillingness in his heart.It was true that he was passionate about power, but when everything was in his hands, his heart was still empty.There was a black hole in his heart that no amount of power could fill.He looked over at Serena and realized that she was leaning against Matthew, her eyes so determined and dependent.He'd never experienced feelings like that before, maybe once when he was very young.But then he'd strangled it himself, telling himself over and over that he had no regrets.Yet countless nights of tossing and turning, endless guilt and panic were about to overwhelm him.Brother ......He hadn't thought about these two words for a long time, and he didn't deserve to think about these two words.He couldn't even think about what kind of feelings he had pushed that child into the sea in the first place.He had made two decisions in his life that he regretted, the first had
Is it worth it?There was never any such thing as worth it or not when it came to her, he would do whatever she needed, always.Oscar looked at the two embracing each other and that crazy jealousy came back.After Maxwell became the head of the Harrington family, Oscar had heard about the man's exploits, and everyone talked about how he was stoic and hibernating, how he was undercover, and how he was cold-blooded and ruthless.He sometimes even lamented that he always felt he could be friends with such a Maxwell, because they were people along the way, who could do anything for the sake of their ends.However, he didn't know since when, this man made a mistake, for a woman, gave up the position of the director, for a woman, to make an enemy of the whole sin capital, Maxwell he had changed.Oscar tightened his grip and grabbed Eleanor to him, "Maxwell ...... Once I saw you as my rival, my friend, I never thought you would turn out like this."He lowered his eyes, the bishop in his hand
A chill came from behind, Serena was almost certain that this man was here waiting for her.Oscar flicked the ashes of his cigarette and slightly inclined his head, his tone was gentle, "You just followed the Grand Elder up there with so much certainty, I knew that you would definitely be able to come out, so I waited for you here."He was always so unhurried and in an elegant state.The night wind suddenly became so strong that Oscar's collar was blown and fluttered, and in the distance even the startled exclamations of the startled bodyguards could be heard.It was all a reminder to Serena that she was running out of time now."Come with me and Eleanor lives, you stay here and Eleanor dies."He laughed softly and came to her, cupping her chin, "That slap just now hurt a little, but I'm not mad, now I'm re-giving you a choice."Serena had no choice, she had to choose him.Like he said, a frenzied Greg would surely kill Eleanor if he stayed here.What if he killed Oscar now?Serena to
He laughed coldly and looked at Oscar, "If the Director doesn't go up, then I'll bring this woman up first."Oscar stroked his face, his brows already filled with hostility.No one had ever dared to do this to him, Serena was the first.He turned around and suddenly pinched her jaw, hating it.Serena frowned in pain and tried to swat his hand away, but Oscar grabbed her wrist, "I'm the one who told Greg about Eleanor, Serena, do you think you can get her out of there? I urge you to think about my offer now."With that, he stirred his fingers in her hair, rather gently and lovingly, "Otherwise, you'll never see her again."Serena felt more and more that the face in front of her was truly disgusting, she lowered her eyes, her fingertips quietly calming the two snakes on her wrists, "Grand Elder, let's go up."The Grand Elder saw Oscar eat his words, the corner of his mouth coldly hooked, "I thought only Maxwell would be so stupid as to be enamored with a woman, I didn't expect that the
