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
After coming out of prison, the city outside was already aglow with evening lights.She stood still for a moment before taking a taxi back home.The villa was lit up, as if waiting for someone to return.Matthew was sitting on the sofa, and a chilly air permeated as the door opened."Have you eaten?" Serena walked over to him. She noticed a table full of dishes that had gone cold."Full of anger, no appetite for food," Matthew sneered.Serena had figured out how to deal with him when he was upset; he was just like a child and needed to be pacified."How about I reheat the food outside?" She was about to walk toward the table after putting down her bag when Matthew grabbed her wrist.She turned, looking at him in confusion."What is your relationship with Daniel?"Could it be that Daniel was the man Serena couldn't let go of? But Daniel was already married. Would she really be unable to move on from a married man?At the mention of Daniel, Serena's heart chilled. After learning about e
With regards to their wedding, Serena and Matthew naturally had no problem with it, after all, Hayden was kind of what they had watched grow up.With the approval of the two, Hayden became very busy during this period of time, he asked Leona's opinion, and it turned out that the other party was not willing to go abroad to hold the wedding, so the place for the wedding turned out to be a church in Hustleburg.Leona took a leave from the research lab, saying that she wanted to rest for a few days, and as a bride, she naturally couldn't go to the wedding with a tired face.It was a big deal for a new businessman to marry the daughter of the Harrington family, and Hustleburg was instantly buzzing with excitement.This wedding was all designed by Hayden alone, not wanting anyone to get involved, from the process to the flowers needed for the ceremony, all of which were handpicked by himself.The decisive man personally do these things, always give people a kind of unreal feeling.The word
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
Did she think that just because she knew Leona, she was really on the same starting line as Leona?If Leona moved out the Harrington family behind her, even a hundred Delia couldn't move a finger! Otis has figured out a lot of things after walking around in circles this time.Leona this time by his design, will be tricked, but also on the face of he is Hayden's friend, only did not do too much, if let Infinity Realm's Boss and Mrs. Boss know that their daughter outside the aggrieved, I am afraid that the consequences are more serious than now.Delia is a graduate of a prestigious university, more or less a little bit of arrogance, now hearing Otis say so, she stared wide-eyed, ''Isn't she, Leona, just a little bit better than me in terms of family history?What's the big deal? What are you so proud of, if I had that good family background, Hayden would like me too! She's just lucky."Serena had just passed by the ward door when she heard this.She paused in her steps and looked to Mat
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
