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
Just now, while she was brooding here, Serena thought a lot about how she was going to make this man suffer, how she was going to make him pay for Mary's death.She thought of one idea after another and finally vetoed one after another."Matthew, do you have any idea how obnoxious you are?"She said, looking up with red eyes and biting her lip.Matthew said nothing and raised a hand to dry the fluffy drizzle from her hair.Serena couldn't bear the depth of his tenderness like that.She shuddered and slapped his hand away, covered her face and began to cry, sorry to Mary, sorry to everyone.She'd never been in such pain, like a wound exposed to the air, blood slowly draining, muscles slowly rotting, every second that passed seemed like a knife cutting through bone.Guilt and panic tortured her heart at all times, lynching her and tearing away flesh and bone marrow piece by piece.Matthew frowned and bent down to take her in his arms, "Serena, what's wrong with you?"He asked cautiously
After exhaling a ring of smoke, his mind suddenly remembered what the woman had just said, "Jordan, do you love me?"Somehow, the person who said those words had suddenly become Serena.Jordan's eyes were confused, and it wasn't until his hand hurt that he looked down and realized that the smoke had burned down to where his fingers were.He stubbed out his cigarette and stared out the window in disbelief.The years had flown by and he had had many women lie in his arms and ask him if he loved them with a look of infatuation and devotion, but how ridiculous that the woman he loved the most had never asked that question.Jordan curled the corners of his mouth, pulled out his cell phone to check the time, and walked out of the room.After hopping into the convertible, he hit the gas and headed straight for Pines Ridge.Coincidentally, Serena came out of the house, saw the car parked next to her, and subconsciously had to swerve to avoid it.But Jordan was quick, getting out of the car an
But the two men's voices never came from behind her, and the corners of her mouth tickled mockingly, no longer curious what they would say, and quickening her own pace.Once she was gone, Nathan spoke again."Boss, I didn't expect Wilbur to betray us, I treated him like my best brother, and he even ......"It was hard to hide the sadness in Nathan's voice and his forehead was tired.Wilbur disappeared for three years, he and Boss are no fools, both are a little suspicious, so they began to investigate what happened to Wilbur in the past three years.Wilbur was his brother, but as long as it was Boss, he had to find out the details.But when you look into it that much, it is actually something that happened three years ago.Three years ago, it was because Wilbur leaked their location that they were ambushed.After checking this out, Boss rushed over in the night and rearranged all the forces in the shadows, just for fear of being taken out of their hideout, after all, Wilbur had always
She asked herself, she was not a kind person, but Wilbur had saved his life at least once, and he was his brother, and he had already knelt down, so sincere and open, that he could not spare his life?If it had been her, she would have kept Wilbur alive instead of just blowing his head off and giving him no chance to live.Now that he talked so easily about sending Wilbur out of the country, it was obvious that it was really cruel.Serena's heart cooled as she became even more skeptical of the secret Wilbur and Matthew were talking about.She had overheard Wilbur's words earlier, and she had been on the defensive against him as a person, but now that she thought about it, Wilbur didn't know that she was hiding in the dark at that time, so how could he have intentionally acted out for her?Not to mention that he had just lost his life. Would a person use his life to put on a show?Was it worth it? What did he get out of it?With these
He smelled of dust and seemed to have been out recently.The corners of Wilbur's mouth turned up, the bottoms of his eyes slightly scarlet."Boss, I think it's time Madam knew these truths.""And what did you say to her?"Accompanying Matthew's grim voice was the sound of a bullet being loaded, and with a single tick of his fingertip, Wilbur would be lifeless.Wilbur looked up, not in the least intimidated by the muzzle of the gun pressed against his head, but with a cheerful expression on his face."It's a shame Madam isn't here, or she'd know how desperate the men she cares for really are."Matthew's face immediately grimaced and his eyes narrowed."Boss, all the happiness you have now is stolen, do you think Madam will stay by your side when she finds out about all this? You'll be a sinner by then.""My business is not your business.""I just feel sorry for Madam."Matthew ticked the corner of his mouth
"I have raised you for so many years! Not for you to step into a man's trap with one unproductive foot, if you mess with him again, I'll have him blocked tomorrow!""Don't you dare! If you block him, I'll tell everyone in Hustleburg what you did, and let them know that Mr. Greg of Infinity Realm forced himself on a woman with a group of people! Humiliated someone to death!!!""Pop!"Another hard slap and Gloria's face was deflected with a somewhat contemptuous mouth hook.Greg's face turned red and he snapped, "What are you babbling about?!"Gloria wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with sharp sarcasm."I already knew it, don't pretend, you said drunken things when you were drunk, and said that the woman cried so sadly before she died, but you all didn't have a soft heart, and tortured her to death alive, dad, my character is like you, people say there is a father like you, you are such a no-good person, how can I be better!"Greg couldn't get a word out, he
Serena couldn't care less about Daniel and rushed to say quietly, "I'm here Scarlett, just hang in there."Scarlett smiled to herself, no blood on her face, "Daniel, can you go out first?"Her words were full of mockery, even the bottom of her eyes were filled with mockery.Daniel stiffened and stood up, taking a step toward the door.It was only a moment after the door closed that Scarlett bit her lip, her hand squeezing the sheet tightly."Serena, I'm dying.""No way!!!"Serena, filled with fear, held her hand in place to keep from hurting herself.Scarlett turned her head with difficulty and looked at her guiltily."Serena, the only person in this world I've ever apologized to is you, I don't deserve a tombstone, so when I die, donate all my organs, and burn what's left in a fire, scatter the ashes by the side of the road, don't go home, don't go to the grave, don't reincarnate, and better yet, the soul should be scattered so that it can wash away the sins in my body, and also so t
Serena's excitement slowly faded as her breathing began to slow and her hands began to squeeze and squeeze harder."Husband?"She rubbed her eyes, and the next thing she knew, she was flattened out in a recliner.Matthew kissed her gently, cupping the back of her head and undoing her buttons one by one with his mouth.Serena's face flushed and she looked away, "What are you doing?"Gasping for breath, Matthew scooped her into a hug, desperately trying to suppress the emotions that were about to spill out."Do you want to stay here or go to your room?"Serena tilted her head slightly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.Matthew couldn't hold back any longer and scooped her up in a hug and headed back to the bedroom.The servant, seeing them head on, hastily lowered his eyes and looked at them.Serena had been drinking and it was coming back to her, and just after she was tucked into bed, she could no longer see much of anything.Just to lean against him and get some warmth from
Matthew carried on, not noticing her bend, and bubbles continued to boil in his heart at the thought of her waiting for him outside.After dinner, the two of them sat on the couch watching TV like a normal young couple.Serena opened her mouth, still unable to resist saying something about Wilbur, but just as her lips opened, Nathan walked in from outside."Boss, there's another impromptu meeting you need to handle."Matthew's brow furrowed in obvious exhaustion, and he braced himself to get up when he heard the words.But after a few steps he turned his head and smiled at Serena, "I'll be done by twelve and then I'll take you to the fireworks."Serena's heart fluttered instantly and her mind grew much warmer.It was Mary's first New Year without her, and she thought she would have a lonely time, not realizing that this man would take care of her feelings in every way, take her shopping for New Year's Eve, and even think of going to the fireworks with her.She lowered her eyes, sudden
