(Flashback)"Serena , don't go, just send her a text to remind her." Catherine is lying on the bed to persuade Serena .But Serena didn't stop packing and continued to take a bunch of notes and put them in her book bag saying, "She's not answering her phone, the final exams are next month and Linda doesn't even know when they are. I'm just going to check it out, don't you worry."Linda was the most introverted and quiet of them all.Serena was the only one who remembered that she wasn't at school, and she had stumbled upon the address of Linda's new home when she'd had dinner with her earlier, so she'd brought her notes with her, ready to lend them to her.But when she got to Linda's house, no one was there even though the door was open."Linda, are you there?" She shouted as she made her way inside.Approaching the bedroom, a strange noise stopped Serena in her tracks, "Ah-"Serena was an adult now, and she certainly knew what such a gasp meant.Far away, through a crack in the door
Matthew’s voice was so faint and light that the woman standing a short distance away didn't hear it, just thought it was strange and wondered about Serena's relationship with this man.She didn't know the man's name yet, she had seen him a few times before, and then she had seen him in many places one after the other.Today, after a chance encounter in the elevator, she had finally gathered the courage to talk to him.Although his attitude was cold, she was already happy to be so close to him.She hadn't seen him in high society, and she had asked many people, and no one knew his identity, so who the hell was he?But it seemed impolite to ask someone's identity out of the blue, so she kept her mouth shut the whole time, not expecting him to walk up to another woman on his own.She always thought there was something familiar about this woman, but she forgot where she had seen her before.Serena kept her head down as she looked around and noticed that Matthew was talking to her."Am I k
After hanging up the phone, Serena immediately went downstairs to find Nathan. She learned from Nathan that no one in the Harrington family currently needed a kidney transplant. Her brow furrowed; the attending doctor wouldn't lie to her."Nathan, go to the Hustleburg General Hospital for me and find out who took the person away. This is my granny's only hope, and I can't afford to miss it."Granny's condition had dragged on for too long, coupled with her rare blood type. Missing this opportunity meant she might have at most two months left.So, whoever was behind this, Serena couldn't tolerate it again!Nathan quickly went to the hospital, and Serena waited for news.An hour later, Nathan called."Mrs. Serena, it was Mrs. Emily... I've informed her, but she's unwilling to release the person. Moreover, they've already successfully matched, and Emily offered a high price. The woman has decided to donate her kidney to them."Serena's vision blackened for a moment.If that was the case,
"I ...... I didn't." Serena's guilty gaze flickered."It better be." Matthew's icy voice hung up just as he finished speaking.Serena dared not entertain any thoughts. She quickly went to the wardrobe and put on clean clothes.Just as she finished packing the wet clothes into a bag, she noticed her phone on the sofa still blinking—it was a message from that man.-[My mom has confiscated my passport, so I couldn't come back.]-[Serena, I beg you, don't marry someone else.]-[You're finally online. I can explain everything.]-[...]Serena's fingertips instantly stiffened as she stared at dozens of messages he had sent, rendered speechless.From the beginning of being playful to the final plea, she could imagine the expression on his face.He was a very warm person. When he played around, it was like a golden retriever, constantly pulling her hand, rubbing against her neck, asking if it was okay, if it was okay, melting her heart.She had never seen him beg anyone before. This was the fi
Emily immediately took out her phone and called Matthew.He answered quickly, "Hello”"Matthew, did you order someone to kidnap that woman?! Do you know how important that woman is to me?!""Uh-huh." Matthew held his phone, tapping on the keyboard, showing a reluctance to discuss the matter further.Emily grew even angrier."Are you doing this for that bitch Serena?! I told Serena that as long as she doesn't rely on the Harrington family, and she can come up with ten million, I'll release that woman! But she just found you. It seems she being with you is just because of your status! Don't tell me you're really falling in love with her now?!"The thought of this possibility further fueled Emily's anger.Their conversation didn't avoid Linda, and she could hear their voices clearly.She clenched her hands under the blanket, her breathing becoming rapid.It was Matthew. His voice was still as it used to be, low and magnetic. How she wished that one day, that voice could whisper in her ea
Serena's eyes widened instantly, her heart pounded as if struck by a heavy hammer, and even her mind was buzzing.She didn't close her eyes and she could vividly see Matthew's fair skin, long eyelashes, and straight nose...Although many thoughts flashed through her mind, reality lasted only a second.Matthew stood up, his fingertips brushing against her lips."Give it back to you." he said.Serena was still in a daze, but he walked away without looking back.Nathan, who witnessed this scene, felt like he had gone blind.The boss initiated a kiss with Serena? And it was so romantic way?Compared to those lingering and affectionate kisses, this light touch was like the man himself—cool, unexpectedly stirring.Serena leaned against the car, her legs weak and unsteady.Matthew was truly extraordinary, almost like a demon.For him, it was just a casual touch, but for her, it was a startling moment.Serena even dared not touch her own lips.The slight coolness left behind seemed to seep in
Serena hurriedly returned to the shopping mall.In her haste, she collided with another woman at the entrance. Both of them dropped their bags on the ground.When Serena looked up, she felt that the woman was somewhat familiar. It seemed she was part of the group with Catherine and had taunted her at the banquet.However, Serena couldn't remember her name."Are your eyes blind? "The woman was furious, picking up the bags from the ground, glaring at Serena.“It’s you?! BITCH!”However, considering the power of the Harrington family behind Serena, she cursed a bit more before leaving hastily.Serena remained silent. Arguing with such a woman was a waste of energy.The more she engaged, the more unpleasant things the woman would say.She bent down to pick up the remaining paper bag and briskly walked back in the direction she had just strolled through.The cashier, holding her phone, awaited her. Seeing Serena, her eyes lit up."Madam, I wanted to call your friend just now. You dropped
Having finished the meal, waiters systematically came to clear the remnants.The tables in the hall were also removed, replaced by beautiful white stools.Everyone sat down, and the host went on stage to tally up the donations for this event.Serena keenly observed that the girl in the red dress got up and walked out, seemingly because the waiter said something to her.Serena wanted to follow but refrained; her position was too conspicuous, and standing up would attract everyone's attention.She could only sit back, planning to talk to the girl later and exchange the dresses.The list on the stage was about to be read to the end and everyone looked at Serena, if they heard right, Serena didn't seem to have donated anything, did she?Was she here just to freeload?It’s seems like although the Harrington family supported her, she was ultimately from a humble background.Several people who knew Serena started whispering, and their gazes turned fervent when they looked at her.Serena frow
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
"I have raised you for so many years! Not for you to step into a man's trap with one unproductive foot, if you mess with him again, I'll have him blocked tomorrow!""Don't you dare! 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
