On the other side at the hospital, Linda was restrained on the bed by everyone.

Having recently regained consciousness, she had used a shard of glass to cut her artery, nearly causing severe bleeding and shock.

Emily watched with great distress as doctors were currently bandaging her.

Due to Linda's intense struggles, they had to administer a sedative.

"Linda, I know you've suffered a lot, and I understand your resentment towards Serena. Rest assured, I won't let her off easily," Emily reassured.

After all these years of companionship, Emily considered Linda as almost a granddaughter.

Tears welled up in Linda's eyes, and she bit her lip tightly, finally calming down emotionally.

However, in the hidden corners where no one could see, a glint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

Emily wouldn't doubt her innocence anymore!

"Emily, don't you blame me for liking Matthew?" Linda asked.

Emily sighed. "I can't help you with that. Keep your feelings for Matthew to yourself. I won't let Serena

    These days, Serena hardly rested.After the surgery, Granny entered a critical period, and only when that passed could her safety be ensured.Serena was busy shuttling between the company and the hospital, rarely returning to Pines Ridge. This made a certain man unhappy.Since their last unpleasant encounter, they hadn't spoken for several days.The atmosphere in the villa was tense. Matthew sat on the sofa, his brows occasionally furrowing. "Has Serena returned?"This was the ninth time he had asked today. Since coming back from the company, he had been sitting there, waiting."Sir, Madam's grandma will soon pass the critical period. She's expected to return tonight."Matthew nodded, his face regaining some indifference.At seven in the evening, the servant respectfully spoke, "Sir, should I bring up dinner?""Hmm." He answered faintly, occasionally glancing toward the door.Why hasn't she come back yet?At half-past seven, the door of the villa opened, and a tired Serena walked in,

    Matthew's tone carried a hint of frustration.Serena's brain had temporarily shut down. It wasn't until he spoke that she dumbly looked at her hands, which had been placed in the bathtub from the direction of her thighs.Could he possibly think that she was...She hastily withdrew her hands, her face turning beet red.Even someone as composed as Serena had never encountered such an awkward situation."Let me explain..."She finished speaking and suddenly realized she was still half-naked. In a hurry, she submerged herself in the water."You go out first, and I'll be out soon after I finish washing."Matthew pursed his lips and slammed the door, turning away in frustration.Serena rubbed her temples, thinking that her first visit to Pines Ridge had already been embarrassing enough, but now it was even worse.Hurriedly drying herself with a towel, she put on her pajamas and went out.Matthew sat on the bed with a dark expression, clearly in an unpleasant mood.Any man wouldn't feel good

    Serena calmly looked at him, reaching out to cup his face." I just want you to understand that it's not that I'm unwilling, but rather, you are. You have a strong sense of responsibility. I am only your nominal wife, and you protect me at every turn, preventing me from harm. If you take away my body, the two-year agreement might become void. You are well aware of this, so since we got married, you have never thought about what could happen between us. Even when you hold me or kiss me, you've never thought about it in that way."Matthew's hand, pressing down on the blanket, stiffened. A complex emotion suddenly surged in his silent eyes.This was the first time a woman had held his face and said such things to him.He pursed his lips, but ultimately remained silent."Matthew, you are a good man. If I had met you earlier, maybe I would have loved you, but my love has already run out."Everyone thought she fell in love with Jack during college, but in reality, it happened even earlier.

    Struggling to turn, Serena noticed that the man was still sleeping soundly.Up close, he was undeniably handsome, with flawless skin and long, hanging eyelashes.She hadn't expected to end up sleeping with this man.Serena's head was pounding as if someone were drilling into her temples. If not for the last shred of her sanity, she would have kicked him off the bed!Just then, Matthew also opened his eyes, and upon seeing her, he froze for a moment, apparently not expecting to wake up here.When he recalled everything from last night, his pupils constricted sharply.He thought he would return to his room, but waking up here suggested that he was genuinely exhausted.Pretending to be calm, he got out of bed, smoothing the wrinkles on his suit with a trembling hand.He hadn't even taken off his clothes; he was still in his suit.Behind him, Serena gritted her teeth and finally spoke, "Get out; I need to change."Although Matthew seemed composed, his hands, brushing over the suit, were t

    Matthew walked down from the car not far away. He had seen her crouching here for quite a while.Could it be that she was feeling upset because he took advantage of her last night?With such thoughts, he hesitated but eventually got out of the car.There lay a dog on the ground, poisoned to death, and Serena held a thermos box.If someone saw this scene, they would probably think Serena was a psychotic poisoner.However, Matthew didn't see it that way.When he saw the dog foaming at the mouth, a cold glint flashed in his eyes."What happened?"Serena's legs felt weak, and when she stood up, she almost stumbled.Matthew reached out to support her, immediately forgetting the morning's unpleasantness."Matthew, have someone investigate the owner of this thermos."Poisoning like this was a cruel method. The thermos had been with her the whole afternoon, and she didn't notice anything.If she had taken a sip, she might have met her end by now.Matthew nodded, his face chilling.Serena's ey

    Serena placed the spoon in front of Linda, her face filled with a smile.Linda's hands slowly clenched into fists.There was poison in the soup, and she definitely wouldn't dare to drink it!Serena was confident that Linda wouldn't drink it.Although this woman had faked a suicide attempt, it was just a way to attract attention.She didn't really want to die.*Smack*Linda slapped the bowl of soup away."Serena, you've been threatening me for so many years, and it's not enough! Now you're here pretending to be compassionate! With grandma here, don't mess around!"She spoke, and her eyes turned red. She bit her lip, and blood oozed from her bitten lips, making her look pitiful.Emily, who was sitting beside her, couldn't stand it."Serena, what are you trying to do? Bringing Matthew along, are you flaunting yourself in front of Linda? You know Linda likes Matthew!"Upon hearing this, Linda quickly looked at Matthew.Unfortunately, she didn't see any emotional fluctuations in his eyes.

    Serena's eyes revealed a hint of amusement as she stirred the soup in the thermos with the spoon."Linda, why are you so sure there's poison in this soup? It's quite a coincidence. Today, someone placed this thermos on my desk. I'm lucky and smart enough not to drink it. That man is from the same neighborhood as you. I had the surveillance checked, and he visited you a few days ago."With every word Serena spoke, Linda's face grew paler.She had been too impatient, eager to take revenge on Serena.Emily couldn't tolerate it any longer."Serena! Stop fabricating lies!""Whether I'm fabricating lies or not, just ask your grandson."Serena's tone remained calm. She had called Matthew here for a reason—Emily wouldn't believe her, but Matthew's words would carry weight.Emily looked at Matthew with a questioning gaze.He nodded. "It's true."Emily wasn't foolish. If Linda was so certain that the soup was poisoned and even had it tested at the hospital, she must have known what was in it be

    Serena, relieved after leaving the hospital, took a deep breath. The Linda situation was finally resolved.If Emily continued to interfere, using her influence to help Linda privately, Serena would expose the matter to the public.She didn't care what the reputation of the Harrington's was!She pulled out her phone and called Violet.“The money has been transferred to your account. Take it, along with your sister, and find a good school. Don't let your family locate you. That money is enough for you to finish college. After graduation, it's up to you.“Violet's eyes reddened. They were finally escaping from hell. "Serena, thank you.""Don't thank me. This is just a deal."After saying this, Serena hung up, feeling a pair of feet stopping behind her.At this time, other than Matthew, there shouldn't be anyone else.She thought he would still be with Emily inside, but he had come out so quickly."Going home?"Matthew's voice was calm, with a hint of warmth in that calmness.Serena's hea

    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

    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
