Hustleburg General Hospital

Upon 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 hadn't asked for a ward upgrade!

Besides, Hustleburg General Hospital was renowned, and its VIP wards were typically reserved for influential individuals. and the VIP wards here were only available to powerful people, even if they had money, they wouldn't necesgownly be able to stay there. What's going on here?

she noticed the black card the man had handed back to her. Suddenly, it all made sense.

He must have assumed that her grandmother was a significant figure within the Harrington family, and that was why.

Serena realized once again how powerful the Harrington family was, permeating almost every...

With a small smile, she took what he handed her and whispered, "Thank you.”

***

A moment later, inside the Bentley.

"Boss, there's a traffic accident up ahead, we need to stop first," Nathan's hands gripped the steering wheel as he quietly reported to the man lying in the back seat with his eyes closed.

Matthew made no sound, just a soft, muffled grunt from his nose that indicated he knew. Rarely was he so tired that he had to take time out of his busy schedule to rest.

The traffic was moving slowly and hadn't stopped for long when Nathan's slightly shocked voice came from the front, "Boss... That person... Seems to be Mrs. Serena."

Matthew frowned at the revelation and opened his eyes, a twist of his head and her face was clearly in front of his eyes, coincidentally they stopped right in front of her. The car windows were tinted and Matthew knew she must not be able to see him, giving him a moment to observe his new wife

This was the entrance to the hospital, and it seemed Serena was there to pay medical bills, using the black card he had given her. .

Outside it was the heat of the day, the blazing sun hanging in the air, she sat in a hot chair, her back straight, her eyes lazy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The corner of Matthew's lips lifted inadvertently, knowing that the women of the rich and powerful families would never allow themselves to be so exposed to the sun, even a few steps away, they would choose to hold an umbrella.

But Serena, as if she couldn't feel the burning sun, sat motionless in the sun. Like a sunflower plant desperately trying to absorb energy.

His wife seemed to have a lot on her mind, what could it be? Matthew continued to watch her, intrigued by her actions.

Nathan, who was also observing the scene, seized the opportunity to speak up, "Boss, I actually saw Mrs. Serena's resume today?"

gaze remained focused on Serena, his furrowed brow relaxing considerably as he raised an eyebrow in response, "She submitted a resume to our legal department?"

"Yes, boss," Nathan said, taking a file from his bag. He had intercepted it from the head of the legal department yesterday, unsure about how to proceed, as it seemed that Matthew was not entirely pleased with the marriage.

It was then that Matthew withdrew his gaze,  and he took the file from Nathan.As he skimmed through it, everything seemed to blur, except for her name, which she had listed as Serena H, with her marital status indicated as married.

Obviously, the H stood for Harrington, but she didn't write her full name; she didn't want to take advantage of it. But then again, she didn't pretend to be single.

His fingers paused and the movement of his hands stopped.

He had to admit that he was touched for a moment. This woman really was different.

However, it was just a momentary feeling. Matthew was a businessman who approached matters like marriage as a business too.

He never felt like falling in love with a woman, love was only a small part of the equation for him, and he had other things to do.

Nathan noticed the subtle change in Matthew's mood and took the opportunity to speak, "Boss, Mrs. Serena's qualifications align with our requirements..."

Matthew raised his gaze slightly at hiss words. After a brief pause, he responded in his usual, matter-of-fact tone, "Let the legal department handle it in accordance with the procedures."

Nathan relaxed then, luckily he didn't block it, otherwise how would he explain it to the Legal Director!

Ba-

The car behind them honked impatiently, signaling that the traffic accident had been resolved.

Nathan was about to start the car when he had a thought and asked Matthew through the rearview mirror, "Boss, should we offer Mrs. Serena a ride to the office with us?"

Nathan’s tone was filled with joy, even his expression was visibly relaxed, but it annoyed Matthew.

Was his assistant happy for his wife now?

He raised his eyes and gave Nathan a cold look, emphasizing, "She's one of the candidate, nothing special.”

Nathan didn't dare say anything more but stepped on the gas and the car slowly pulled away.

  • A Contract Marriage With My Boss   Chapter 7 Interview

    *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

    "That was supposed to be my question to you! How dare YOU!" Serena rubbed her hand and smiled slightly,"Do you not understand the status of the Harrington family? If Grandpa Richard were to hear you talking like this, can you imagine the consequences? Even if Matthew is unwell, he's still Matthew HARRINGTON! I had hoped you'd wise up after Nina's rebuke, but it seems you've kept your stupidity."Samantha, her face still stinging from the previous slap, covered it in shock and now had Serena pointing at her.Her emotions swirled with humiliation, unwillingness, and resentment."BITCH!" she made a move to retaliate, but a commanding voice rang out, putting an end to the altercation."Stop!"Samantha turned her head in disbelief and looked at Stephen, she was being bullied now, or being bullied by Serena, a hick, who was she to tell her to stop?However, shortly thereafter, Stephen moved to Serena's side,, he forced out a fake smile, "Have you met Mr. Richard?"Mr. Richard's status was

    During the meal, Michelle had been trying to test Serena and Richard's true relationship but was met with Serena's clever responses."Samantha will go back with you later and meet the Mrs. Tara and Miss Nina first."Michelle's tone held a veiled threat, and Serena's hand paused briefly while holding her fork, her eyes carrying a trace of coldness.Serena's hand froze on her fork for a moment, holding back the cold light in her eyes."Samantha just had a confrontation with Nina.” she added evenly. “And Nina has already made it clear that she'll SLAP her again if she sees her. Oh, of course If she really wants to go and humiliate herself, just back with me.""Serena!" Michelle slammed her bowl onto the table,the atmosphere grew heavy, thick with tension.She didn't count the fact that Serena had just hit Samantha, but the other party spoke with barbs, could it be that she really didn't care about the old villain's death?The air was dull for a moment, the smell of gunpowder."Michelle,

    Matthew noticed her bleeding palm and furrowed his brow but remained seated in the car without a word.Serena, in pain, bit her tongue fiercely, the intense sting briefly sobering her. She gripped the car door and stumbled inside.Nathan sensed something was amiss, but the boss's silence kept him from speaking up.Matthew's gaze remained faint as he looked out the window, the passing light leaving flickering shadows on his face.Serena gazed at him, her eyes reddening, smitten for a moment. A mix of bitterness, regret, and complex emotions surged within her.There was a time when a man vowed to protect he...Matthew's brow furrowed imperceptibly and his lips pursed as he suddenly grabbed her hand and saw the bloody mess.Serena's consciousness blurred again, so hot that for a moment she couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream."Don't move."Matthew's voice was devoid of warmth as he rummaged through the medical kit on the side and lowered his head to quietly sterilize her.It was t

    Matthew didn't care about her anymore and took it in stride.His body was stained with a lot of water and he looked wet."Boss, the doctor is here." Nathan called cautiously from outside the door, keeping his ears open for any movement inside.This was the first woman had entered Pines Ridge and shared a room with Boss.Matthew changed into clean clothes, and opened the door.Nathan withdrew his inquisitive gaze and showed his respect by bowing his head."Go make a cup of hot honey water and send the doctor back."Matthew's body was cool and his hair was wet.Nathan watched him change, his mind instantly spinning in a hundred directions...Usually people will shower and change after ......"Yes sir." His steps were light, and a satisfied smile adorned his face.His boss had finally broken his fast and was to be congratulated!Matthew didn't care what he thought and proceeded to the adjacent study to commence a video conference.Half an hour later, Nathan knocked on the door and said,

    Outside the door, Matthew's eyes narrowed slightly as he noted the untouched honey water and cold medicine.Retrieving the key from a nearby drawer, he unlocked the bathroom door, pushing it open.“Ah-”Serena had been leaning against the door, and she nearly stumbled forward as he entered.Quickly, she grabbed a towel from the shelf and wrapped it around herself.Matthew's pupils narrowed. It was his towel and he did not like anyone to touching his things.He had a strong penchant for cleanliness.Anger surged within him, his emotions reaching a boiling point."Sir, I'm sorry," Serena stammered.She didn't know what else to say, hanging her head as water continued to drip from her soaked hair. Her appearance was disheveled and messyUnexpectedly, Matthew's anger dissipated.He spoke, his tone devoid of anger, "Come out, have your honey water and take the medicine, and stay here for the night."Serena didn't refuse any longer.She was concerned that returning in this state would only

    Nina already hated her, and if Nina discovered that she was resting here, she'd be dead!Serena couldn't hear what Nina was saying, and everything sounded like the devil's footsteps."Why aren't youanswer? Open the door for me! The bodyguards at the door informed me. Or I'll find that woman myself!" Nina's voice echoed in the hallway, gradually approaching the room.She's here! Can't wait any longer!Her mind was in a complete daze as she panicked and made her way to the window.She looked out, the room was situated about two stories above the ground, so even if she were to jump, she would likely sustain injuries at the very least."Don't be afraid, Serena; it won't be worse than being driven away!"***"Nina," Matthew's voice called from outside the door.Nina was already positioned outside Serena's room, a triumphant raised eyebrow highlighting her curiosity."She's in there, isn't she?

    "I know, I'll get right back to the Mercenaries, Maxwell, what happens after we find Matthew? I kill him?""Byron, I told you, I'll take care of him myself."Byron didn't retort anymore and sighed, "Are you in Hustleburg right now?"Being able to jump into the sea after Serena showed the weight of that woman in his heart.He was still alive at this moment, so he must have gone to look for Serena in the first place."Yes, the mercenary club will be handed over to you for now, I want Matthew to live."Byron didn't have any doubts and immediately set off with Vincent, leaving Hustleburg.Serena hung up the phone, her back already covered in sweat.She took a sip of water and went to Matthew's study to finish going through the pieces that were piling up.It was useless for her to worry here, if Byron believed her, he would search Matthew's whereabouts with all his might, she just had to wait for news.And while waiting for news, deal with Infinity Realm in the meantime.Later that night,

    That signature at the end of the piece was calm and strong, just like his nature.Serena pushed the piece away in exasperation without looking at it again or signing it.After taking care of the piece, she turned on the news and found that the person who had been talked about the most lately was Sophie.The last time Sophie had encouraged Roger to come after her and tried to get away with it, no way.But the news wasn't about Sophie's bad news, instead it was praising her, saying she was a woman of honor.And she deserved it?"Nathan, have someone go and beat Roger up again, it looks like Sophie has stabilized Roger again."Roger was a total loser and Sophie was a goddess in many people's hearts.Roger may be angry, but with a few coaxing words from Sophie, he has to be obediently trapped, a veritable lickspittle.Sophie's recent life can be said to be smooth, Winters Group development is getting better and better, her position is considered to be completely stabilized.Nathan nodded

    "Pull yourself together?"Serena's voice trailed off, her eyes scarlet, "Will Matthew come back if I pull myself together? Whatever Lorraine's intentions are, I'm going to make her pay for all of this."Blair's body shuddered, taken aback by the look in her eyes.But at the same time he felt relieved, this was the Serena he knew, "Get well, I've informed Judy and Scarlett, let them keep you company in the meantime."Speaking of Judy, his tone was softer and vaguely exasperated.Judy left that night without a second thought, he had thought that the other party had left Hustleburg for good, but he didn't realize that she had applied for a job as a college teacher and had resumed her teaching career.As long as she was still in Hustleburg, at least his heart wasn't so empty.Serena glanced down at her wrist and leaned back against the bed to close her eyes.Her mind still hurt, and mind control, as distinct from physical pain, could make a person completely lose themselves.She took a ti

    The doctor's hands shook with fear at the sight of such a deep gash, shivering as he secured this wrist with a brace and began to stitch.Serena didn't say a word, she couldn't even feel the needle between the flesh anymore.She kept her eyes open and stared blankly at the ceiling.The stitching process went on for over an hour, and the doctor was already sweating profusely.After carefully sterilizing it, he breathed a sigh of relief.Serena had fallen asleep by now, her forehead covered in sweat.Blair sent the maid in to change her while he and Nathan stood guard at the door.Only when they saw the maid come out did they re-enter the bedroom.If it wasn't for Serena's chest still heaving slightly, they would have thought she was dead.Nathan's heart was in a very bad place and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "So how do we get back to normal?"Blair was anxious and hated to turn around in place, "I don't know, Serena went to Vitec Technologies last time, I heard that she was locked in t

    The darkness became long, and all the evil, the hope, all of it dissipated.Nathan didn't know what was happening behind him, he couldn't hear anything but the sharp sound of a gunshot.It was a long run before he gasped and stopped, taking a few others with him and boarding the plane.With Matthew staying there, the others didn't come after them, and it wasn't until the moment the plane took off that Nathan pulled out the ring and looked at it.He no longer knew where it was, and he didn't dare wonder what Boss had been through.The gunshot must have come from Boss; he'd been killed, or killed himself, he didn't know.Back in Pines Ridge, the sky was foggy and the rain was still pouring down.Their party was in a sorry state, and standing at the front door of Pines Ridge, he caught a glimpse of Blair leaning against a pillar, smoking."Where's Matthew?"Blair's voice trailed off as he tossed his cigarette into a side trash can.Nathan didn't dare meet his eyes and could only hang his

    Noticing her lax pupils, Blair slashed directly at the back of her neck.Serena only felt a sharp pain coming from the back of her head and fainted.Blair held her up, his brows knitted tightly as he twisted his head to look at Ida and Jo, "Call the doctor."The doctor came quickly and gave Serena a full body checkup and finally prescribed some tranquilizers.Blair looked at the woman slipping into a coma with a horrible grimace on his face.Serena's state today was off, like someone who had been pushed to the brink, with devastation written all over her face.This was definitely not the Serena he knew, he took out his cell phone and made a call to Matthew.Matthew was already in Las Vegas, but the dance here hadn't taken place yet, and he was staying at the hotel for the time being.He had just gotten out of the bathroom when his cell phone rang, it was Blair.Before he left, he had asked Blair to help take care of Serena.Serena has been in a bad mood lately, her eyes always look li

    Hearing her say that, Jordan had no more qualms.Serena hung up the phone and lay back down on the bed.She touched the dagger under her pillow and drew it out, gazing at it intently.She really wanted to slit her wrist with this dagger, draining all the blood little by little so that she would feel better.She had just placed the dagger on her wrist when there was a knock at the door, she was startled and the dagger in her hand instantly fell to the floor with a crisp sound."Madam, what's wrong with you?"Ida asked anxiously from the doorway, probably hearing the sounds from inside and thinking something had happened to her.Serena slowly closed her eyes, pulled the ring off her finger and threw it down the window.A great sadness suddenly swept over her, causing her to cover the position of her heart as if she was about to lose her breath.After a long time, she took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her eyes before she opened the door to her room."Go get Jo."She went to Mat

    Jordan froze, letting go of the woman in his arms and pointing to the door, signaling the two to get out.Only after both beauties were gone from the area did he raise an eyebrow, "Serena, do you realize what you're saying?"He no longer called her but Serena."I know, didn't you ask me earlier if I wanted to team up with you? I promise."Jordan's brows tightened, Serena and Matthew's relationship didn't seem to have gotten this far, why did she suddenly want Matthew dead?And from the tone of voice, the hatred wasn't normally deep."How do I know you're not lying to me Serena, I'm afraid to trust you.""Matthew is going to Harrington's family headquarters in the near future, you team up with me, I'll tell you his route, I want him to never come back."Matthew was going to Harrington's family headquarters?Jordan's eyes flashed, maybe he should trust this woman for once, "Fine, you tell me his route, I'll have someone intercept it, Serena, don't regret it."Serena bowed her head, her

    Lorraine didn't answer her straight away whether she was or wasn't, she opened the door to the side of the car and got in.It was only when the window was about to close that she spoke, "What you want to do with it is your business, from the moment Maxwell started caring about you I knew that sooner or later he would have to pay for everything he had done."Serena didn't respond until the car drove away, then she bent over and whacked her knee.She got into her own car and, somewhat deflated, leaned her back back and closed her eyes.She'd actually gotten a bad feeling in her mind when Matthew had touched her knuckles, and now it was just a premonition that was being sat upon.Back in Pines Ridge, her legs felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and her stomach had been flooded with nausea.The more she suspected, the more the sickening feeling grew.She went upstairs and curled up in her own bed, thinking about Maxwell and really not having any other thoughts than the disgust that
