Emily furrowed her brows and reopened her phone. The more she looked at the man in the video, the more he resembled her grandson.She glanced at Serena, then turned and sat on the nearby sofa.It seemed she intended to thoroughly understand the situation.Serena had the same intention. Seizing this opportunity, she wanted Emily to see Linda clearly!Soon, Nathan brought over the investigated video and also carried a laptop.From Linda's stalking to her framing, everything was crystal clear.Emily stared wide-eyed in astonishment, finding it hard to believe Linda's actions.Linda had always been obedient and well-behaved. Besides, with her mother's recent death, how could she have the mindset to stalk Serena?Emily’s lips trembled, and an inexplicable anger spread within her.At this very moment, Linda called."Grandma, where are you?" She asked cautiously, her voice pure and obedient.Emily, with a tight-lipped expression, asked, "Linda, what were you doing last night?"Linda was star
Serena thought her days would calm down after Emily left Pines Ridge.But the next day, Emily was at her doorstep again."Madam"She called out politely because, with Emily's presence, she couldn't continue going out.Tomorrow was Granny's surgery, and Serena needed to go to the hospital to follow up on the situation."What's your relationship with Henry Anderson?"Henry Anderson was the principal of the university where Serena worked.Emily had already sent someone to inquire among her university alumni. They said that Serena did indeed have a good relationship with Henry. Considering Linda's words, she felt disgusted!Serena paused and thought nothing else for the moment. "Mr. Henry is my headmistress and he appreciates me a lot."She won numerous awards every year, and the school leaders were familiar with her. Henry had even taken her out to participate in competitions. Describing it as appreciation wasn't too much."Appreciates? What kind of appreciation? The kind that happens in
Serena exclaimed and rushed over, grasping Mary's hand.Mary's vacant eyes suddenly cleared, flickering with awareness. She opened her mouth, but with an oxygen mask covering it, speaking was inconvenient."Granny, rest well," Serena said, rubbing Mary's hand against her cheek.Feeling the pain, Serena remembered the injury on her own cheek. Mary's gaze held concern and inquiry.Serena couldn't explain the clear imprint of Emily's slap on her cheek. She couldn't tell her grannyr that she fell, could she?"Just a minor disagreement with a colleague, everything's fine," Serena reassured.Mary slowly squinted, lacking the energy to look at Serena any longer, and drifted back into slumber.Serena pursed her lips, raising her hand to touch her own face.Granny must be worried.Matthew stood behind her, hesitating for a moment before extending his hand, patting her shoulder.He wasn't good at comforting people, so the gesture was stiff.Serena was about to say something to thank her when th
Serena didn't expect Linda to hang up so quickly.She stared at her phone, a mocking smile playing on her lips. Was she unable to handle it so soon?Linda was pitiable, But she wouldn't forgive unconditionally like a brainless person."Tthanks" Although Matthew had only uttered four words throughout the conversation, the impact of those four words was as powerful as a bomb.Linda, so arrogant, probably went mad from anger, right?Matthew remained silent.He seemed increasingly curious about Serena, curious about how she could always utter such sharp words, and curious about how soft she could be in his presence."You..." He hesitated for a moment, then continued placing the eggs on her cheek."In front of me, it seems like you've never pretended to be anything."She openly admitted her past relationship, let him know her personality, and revealed a vulnerable side that needed protection.Serena wore a thousand masks, but surprisingly, he didn't dislike any of them."Your eyes can pene
The board of directors was like the school's lifeline, providing all the resources, medical facilities, and teaching equipment. It was a group that couldn't be offended.However, Henry had been working at Metropolitan University for so many years and had never been afraid of anyone."I won't give up the position of the principal! Inform the students in the Law School immediately; we're preparing for a lawsuit."On the first day students entered Hustleburg, Henry would address them from the stage.He would tell Metropolitan University students not to fear getting into legal trouble, as they had the support of the nation's top law school. All law students from various institutions would stand behind them!The members of the board of directors felt somewhat awkward.They knew Henry's style over the years, but unfortunately, the anonymous report had escalated the matter to the education bureau.If this issue wasn't resolved, there might be a thorough investigation from higher authorities.
The maid intervenes immediately, pushing her away."Serena, you really have no sense of propriety!"Serena leaned back a little as she was pushed, banging her head against the wall and hitting her head on the floor.The maid wears a triumphant expression.The bitch deserved it!In pain, Serena's tears almost burst forth.Seeing the arrogant look on the maid's face, Serena lifts her hand and delivers a resounding slap.*Slap!*The maid's face bears five clear fingerprints, and she covers her cheek in disbelief."Serena, you..."Before she can finish her sentence, Serena delivers another slap.*Slap!*Serena's strength is considerable, and her hand hurts after hitting twice.Her gaze is icy as she rubs her wrist.The maid's cheek instantly swelled and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth."Are you FUCK awake now? Who do you think you are?!"Serena's voice was cold as she looked down and rubbed her wrist weakly.The maid, intimidated by Serena's gaze, steps back, covering her face
Serena's heart skips a beat when she looks up and sees Matthew standing not far away in the corridor, holding a thermos.His brows are furrowed, and a chilling atmosphere surrounds him.She falls silent instantly, feeling inexplicably guilty and reluctant to speak.Emily, noticing Matthew's arrival, hurries to approach him."Matthew, did you hear what she just said? She's only with you for some ulterior motive. She's after your money.""Grandma, there are plenty of wealthy people in Hustleburg. Why wouldn't she go after someone else's money?" Matthew responds, blocking Emily's words, and her face turns purple in frustration."It's cold here. You should go back," Matthew adds, glancing at the swollen-faced maid beside him."Take Grandma back."The maid lowers her head, avoids eye contact, and quickly assists Emily, who leaves with a sense of satisfaction.Serena, feeling a bit unlucky, wonders why her words always seem to coincide with Matthew's appearances."Ma..Matthew" she stammers,
As she walked away, Serena's face still unattractive and miserable, she casually bought a bowl of porridge and sat down in the small shop to eat it.Waiting for her mood to ease a bit, she took out her cell phone and looked at the messages on it.Her eyebrows furrowed as she noticed the contents of the forum, Linda was determined to make a big deal out of this.Public opinion would always be on the side of the underdog, and since Linda had committed suicide, people were more than willing to believe that she was the underdog.Serena rubbed her forehead, she really didn't have any proof about Linda and her stepfather.Now that Linda had come to testify against her, there was really nothing she could do for a while.In that case, let's try it with this so-called stepfather.The corner of Serena's mouth twitched, actually she didn't want to deal with such a man, but this was all forced on her by Linda, and if this matter wasn't resolved as soon as possible, she was afraid that Henry would
