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
"Oh, unwanted junk for you."Serena's face was covered with a heavy frost, feeling sorrowful and distressed for Scarlett.Joanne was almost fainting in anger."Daniel never loved Scarlett. Their relationship started as a plot. He told me he would marry me after playing with Scarlett!"Serena never believed in such rumors, but seeing Joanne so confident, she couldn't stay calm.At that moment, Daniel walked in from outside, still carrying an air of deathly silence.Serena looked at him coldly, feeling the air in the room becoming nauseating."Daniel!" Joanne noticed him and tried to rush towards him but was casually avoided."Did you buy it?"His voice lacked any warmth, and he didn't even glance at her."I was just about to buy this dress, but Serena took it first. She's still as annoying as before."Joanne's voice, full of coquetry, was in stark contrast to her previous domineering attitude, making it awkward.Finally, Daniel's gaze fell on Serena, his eyes showing a slight tremor. S
Samantha walked in with her head held high, carrying a limited edition handbag, worth around a hundred thousand dollars.The saleswoman felt a bit awkward. Ideally, she should sell the dress to Serena, but this newcomer didn't seem like an easy person to deal with either.The dress cost just over ten thousand, and Serena was willing to pay double, making it around twenty thousand."Triple," Serena said, her tone indifferent, looking at Samantha with disdain.Feeling scorned, Samantha retorted, "Five times, Serena. As far as I know, you don't have much money."Samantha sneered.Although the Wilsons power couldn't match the Harringtons, she had always lived a pampered life with plenty of pocket money.Serena, despite Richard's favor, couldn't possibly receive cash gifts from him. So Samantha concluded that Serena was definitely broke."Ten times," Serena calmly replied, watching Samantha with indifference.Samantha's complexion darkened.Buying a dress for a hundred thousand was unneces
Jordan had been quietly observing Serena's expressions and noticed that she remained calm from earlier until now, with a slight frown on her forehead.Sometimes he thought Serena liked Matthew, but more often, this woman was too composed, and he couldn't discern her thoughts.Serena picked up the menu beside her and quietly perused it.Even a simple dish had a price tag in the thousands, truly extravagant."Are you pay today?" she asked, looking at Jordan uncertainly.Jordan was taken aback, finding it somewhat amusing."I never have the habit of letting the lady pay. Order whatever you like.""In that case, I won't hold back."Serena indeed didn't hold back, choosing the most expensive items.When the dishes arrived, she picked up her knife and fork and started eating.Jordan held a glass of wine, his gaze always wandering over her.Occasionally puzzled, sometimes resigned, but he never touched the food in front of him.Although Serena ate quickly, her movements were extremely elegan
Serena had already left and arrived at the hospital."Mrs. Serena, your grandmother should wake up soon. Her condition is very good; you don't need to worry," the attending doctor said with a smile as soon as she arrived.Serena forced a smile, "Thank you."Sitting by her grandmother's bedside, she reached out and held the old woman's hand, sighing heavily.She wasn't sure if it was because of her granny's illness or because of a certain man.After spending some time with Mary, Serena still didn't want to go back.It wasn't until evening that her phone rang; it was a call from Nathan."Madam, it's time for dinner. Where are you? I can come pick you up," Nathan spoke cautiously, glancing at the man sitting beside him.The man's aura was terrifying, casting a heavy atmosphere throughout the mansion."No need, I've already eaten outside," Serena replied.Sitting under the fountain sculpture in the square, she suddenly felt pathetic. She had no other friends in Hustleburg, and she was pra
