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
"Serena, your driver is here."Jordan, standing beside Serena, noticed her pale expression and gently nudged her shoulder.Serena snapped out of her thoughts, turned her head, and indeed saw the driver approaching. It seemed he was getting anxious after not seeing her for a while.Without lingering, she quickly left through the back door.After getting into the car, Serena thought a lot, and her fingertips were trembling slightly.Initially, she hadn't associated this incident with Linda because it seemed too absurd.She couldn't recall having such intense hatred with Linda until her phone rang, and it was Ella calling."Serena, do you know Linda? Can you send me a picture of her?"Serena didn't hesitate and quickly found a photo in the university group to send to Ella.Soon, Ella sent a message back.[This is the woman I was talking about before! You have to watch out for her!]Earlier today, Ella had noticed the name of Serena's caller, and hadn't paid much attention to it. After al
