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
With regards to their wedding, Serena and Matthew naturally had no problem with it, after all, Hayden was kind of what they had watched grow up.With the approval of the two, Hayden became very busy during this period of time, he asked Leona's opinion, and it turned out that the other party was not willing to go abroad to hold the wedding, so the place for the wedding turned out to be a church in Hustleburg.Leona took a leave from the research lab, saying that she wanted to rest for a few days, and as a bride, she naturally couldn't go to the wedding with a tired face.It was a big deal for a new businessman to marry the daughter of the Harrington family, and Hustleburg was instantly buzzing with excitement.This wedding was all designed by Hayden alone, not wanting anyone to get involved, from the process to the flowers needed for the ceremony, all of which were handpicked by himself.The decisive man personally do these things, always give people a kind of unreal feeling.The word
He monkeyed around and started fumbling with the buttons of Leona's dress.Leona frowned and held his hand, she wasn't interested in being right here."Hayden, go back and talk."Yet the man's voice came in her ear, inexplicably aggravated, "Go back?Going back would take another half hour."Leona couldn't hold back her laughter any longer and let out a "pfft".Seeing her in a good mood made Hayden bold, easing his seat down and catching her lips in a kiss.It was only when dealing with her that Hayden would act so much like a brat.Leona couldn't argue with him and could only sigh.It was all over, exactly twelve o'clock.Hayden was a little unfulfilled, but knew that he couldn't go on.Leona was too tired to say anything and just leaned back in the seat, half-closing her eyes.Hayden drove the car home, and when he got outside the apartment, instead of waking her up, he bent over and picked her up, heading upstairs.Leona did seem to have it a lot easier since the contract was drawn
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
Did she think that just because she knew Leona, she was really on the same starting line as Leona?If Leona moved out the Harrington family behind her, even a hundred Delia couldn't move a finger! Otis has figured out a lot of things after walking around in circles this time.Leona this time by his design, will be tricked, but also on the face of he is Hayden's friend, only did not do too much, if let Infinity Realm's Boss and Mrs. Boss know that their daughter outside the aggrieved, I am afraid that the consequences are more serious than now.Delia is a graduate of a prestigious university, more or less a little bit of arrogance, now hearing Otis say so, she stared wide-eyed, ''Isn't she, Leona, just a little bit better than me in terms of family history?What's the big deal? What are you so proud of, if I had that good family background, Hayden would like me too! She's just lucky."Serena had just passed by the ward door when she heard this.She paused in her steps and looked to Mat
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
Hayden didn't know how to respond to his best friend's questioning.They went straight to the hospital and when the doctor examined them, he talked about what happened to Delia in the past few days.Otis held Delia's hand and started crying while Delia's eyes kept resting on Hayden's.Hayden's brain hurt, both of the people here were his best friends at one time, but this time it seemed like he was on the verge of losing them.Back in high school, he and Otis used to sit on the playground from time to time drinking beer and coke and talking about their dreams at that age, and Otis would always tease him with Leona.Neither had realized that the adult world would be filled with so much hopelessness, despair.Otis cried for a while and fed Delia water.Delia had no strength in her body and could only take a few slow sips right from his hand.Otis' eyes instantly turned red, when had he ever seen Delia like this.Delia had always followed them around like a tomboy, we all played soccer t
