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
Serena turned her head, a bit aggrieved. Her mood was already bad, and even when she was helping him with the medicine, he still had this attitude.Matthew saw her sulking and, after a moment of confusion, leaned on her neck, stifling a laugh.Even more irritated, Serena asked, "What are you laughing at?"After laughing for a while, Matthew, with his head still against her neck, unexpectedly bit her neck.The bite was light, but Serena's whole body trembled."Matthew!"Matthew ignored her and didn't stop. He lightly sucked on her neck.Serena started to struggle, her face turning as red as a cooked shrimp.Matthew restrained her, his eyes filled with crimson."This is what I want to do."Serena stopped moving, fearing that her struggle might only excite him more.She turned her head in silence, thinking that this guy wouldn't have such thoughts. Now it seemed that she was wrong.After all, Matthew was a normal man.It didn't happen before because there were no women around him.Both o
*Bang*The files in Serena's hands fell to the ground. All the high-level executives were in a state of shock.Matthew's voice was not soft, and they couldn't pretend not to hear.Serena considered herself a very rational person. However, upon hearing Matthew's words, her face flushed with embarrassment. The surrounding glances felt like searchlights, making her uncomfortable.She lowered her head and hastily left.There was a brief silence at the elevator entrance. The high-level executives quickly bent down to pick up their fallen items, not daring to speak.Matthew curved his lips, indifferent, and entered the elevator.The other executives immediately followed.In fact, they were puzzled. Why did Matthew personally go for this negotiation?Previously, he never appeared in person, always having Nathan represent him.They were curious, and it wasn't until they arrived at the other company that they understood.He had deliberately come to stir up trouble.In front of Matthew sat Dani
It was getting darker and darker, and Serena's mind had been restless ever since she heard that Matthew had to go out recently.When she went to bed at night, she habitually nestled into his arms, and just as she entered dreamland, she began to dream.Dreams of deep, bottomless oceans, dreams of the man holding her close and not wanting to let go, dreams of him chewing raw fish and feeding it mouth-to-mouth into her mouth.The ship's board was adrift in such an ocean, her life in danger at any moment.She was shivering with cold, unable to distinguish dream from reality.He called her "Serena" over and over again in her ear, his voice so gentle and loving that her eyes began to redden.Her body was held in his arms, and he kept her warm with his body heat, while he was submerged in the sea.The fish smelled so full of fish that she swallowed almost unconsciously, having no idea what she was going through.Serena's tears ran dow
"Sophie, why are you telling me about this now, I was almost victimized by that bitch!"Roger had a belly full of bitter water and was worried that he had no place to pour it out, just when Sophie called this number.And Sophie was still different from the others, at least the other party had been comforting him."Mr. Roger, so how are you now? Is everything okay?"Even though she already knew how Roger ended up, Sophie was still pretending to be confused at this moment.Hearing that she was concerned about herself, Roger suddenly felt a little guilty, guilty that before this, he actually suspected that Sophie was trying to brush herself off.It turns out that people are just not feeling well, and they are not receiving calls for the time being.Sophie's image in his heart instantly towered over him, and all of his resentment was transferred to Serena."Being dismissed by my uncle, all because of Serena, this bitch!"Rog
Serena raised her eyebrows, it turned out that contacting the bodyguard did not rely on the phone, this was something she really did not think about.When the old man saw her face, his eyebrows were even more smug, ''Do you think that there is nothing I can do if you block my men down there? I'm just willing to cooperate with you, I really think I'm charmed by you, now you don't want to pull Infinity Realm's Boss on me, no one can save you, if you're sensible, you can send this bodyguard out of the room, and stay here with me for a few days."Serena gauged the time and Matthew was almost there.She had the bodyguard hold the older man down while she herself broke the glass in the bathroom, picking up the shards and plunging them down his throat."Mr. Roy would be better off with a little less talk right now."Her tone was light, yet her strike was so vicious.Mr. Roy was so shocked that he almost screamed, luckily the glass shard stopped a few centimeters from his throat.His forehead
The old man was already dissatisfied with Roger's current attitude, and now that he heard Serena say this, he instantly understood.It turned out that Roger himself coveted Serena's beauty, and the gaze he looked at Roger with a thorn in his side, making Roger feel like a fool inside and out.Roger could only hastily apologize, "Mr. Roy, I definitely didn't mean that."After saying that, he looked at Serena, his eyes full of threats, "It's good that Madam can figure it out, following Mr. Roy does have a good life, don't you think of running away, or else ......"Serena laughed lowly and didn't bother.The old man could no longer stand Serena's clear-cut energy, and immediately spoke sharply, "Where does Madam want to go? Please."He made a "please" gesture, and Serena lifted her foot and left.Roger was in a hurry, but with Mr. Roy here, he couldn't really say anything.Serena went all the way out of Vitec Technologies, her heart suppressed a ball of fire, but now the crisis has not b
She kept whispering, but in this small space, the sound had a brief echo that disturbed her.She crouched in the corner, holding her head, her mind in turmoil.The people in the monitoring room saw her like this and were a little afraid that something was wrong, but with Roger's orders in front of them, no one dared to put Serena out.The child's voice was getting more and more shrill, like she was facing some great fear, and with it being in this dark, claustrophobic space, Serena felt like she was going crazy.She pounded on the wall, but no one paid any attention to her until the back of her hand was swollen.In the afternoon, Roger mercifully came over to take another look and found Serena had crouched motionless in the corner of the wall and looked quizzically at the crowd in the custody room."What's wrong with her? Shouldn't be scared to death?"His tone was full of mockery, the corners of his mouth curved up triumphantly, "I thought I had a hard-on, but it turned out to be jus
If she didn't see it with her own eyes, Serena couldn't believe it was Sophie.Sophie liked Jack to the point of paranoia, and didn't expect to go behind Jack's back and do something like this."Does Jack know when you're like this?"Her voice trailed off, holding her chest slightly as she looked Sophie over.Sophie raised an eyebrow, getting up and grabbing a bag off to the side, "Madam is this about meddling in her ex-boyfriend's family business?"She emphasized her ex-boyfriend, her words full of sarcasm.Serena raised her eyebrows and laughed out softly, "That's not true, before I heard that Winters Group had a big crisis, after seeing you I realized that the crisis has been so serious that the grand lady of Winters Group actually needs to come out to pick up customers, I'm just a little surprised."Sophie originally still had a cloudy face, when she heard her say that, her face instantly changed, slightly narrowing her eyes."Serena, if it wasn't for you, do you think I would be
All she needed to do was to plant a seed of doubt in Serena's heart, and with time, that seed would surely grow into a huge tree.Serena was staring at her cell phone in a daze, and when Lorraine reminded her of this, a cold sweat did break out on her back.She thought back carefully to the details of her re-encounter with Matthew, such as to Mr. Roger was touching her left index finger, the place where she wore her ring.Matthew never wore a ring, only Maxwell wore a ring, and only someone who wore a ring would react that way.She tossed her cell phone aside as a pain started to build in her head.After careful thought, she found the idea funny again, Lorraine still had something to hide from her, this person's words couldn't be trusted one hundred percent, maybe the other person was purposely trying to separate her and Matthew.Thinking of this, her heart settled down a bit, lying on the bed and fell asleep.Matthew returned not long after, he lifted a corner of the quilt and lay on
Matthew returned to Pines Ridge only to find that Serena hadn't gone to bed and had been waiting in the living room.He covered his shoulder and when he saw her, he quickly put his hand down.Serena noticed the bandage on his shoulder and stood up, "What happened to the shoulder?""It's a little bruised."Matthew's reply was light, and after sitting down on the couch, he hugged her to him, "Did you have a good day at work?"Serena unbuttoned him and took a serious look at the bandage, "Gunshot wound?"She was only guessing, her eyes staring him down without blinking.Matthew was helpless, rubbing his brow, "Well, gunshot wound, I was going to send you to the office to get back in shape, but the group came out of nowhere, so you won't be able to go out lately, Serena, I'll be at Pines Ridge with you."Serena was relieved that at least the man was willing to loosen up and stop hiding things from her."Is it for me?"Matthew wrapped her in a hug and kissed her on the cheek."I'm not sure
Scarlett didn't tell Serena any of this, though, so Serena didn't know.After a few days of working at Infinity Realm, she was completely back in the swing of things.During her lunch break, she was caught up in a story on the news.It was a missing persons story.The face was one she recognized, when she was in front of the hospital, the person said they wanted Matthew to stop pestering her.She didn't realize that in a short period of time, it had become a missing person, was there any connection?She carefully rummaged through it, yet there was no news other than missing, it was like disappearing into thin air.Her mind suddenly went to the Sin City, an existence that ordinary people didn't even know about.If she hadn't personally gone and experienced it, she wouldn't have known that there was actually a place like that in this world.Moreover, Lorraine had also mentioned the Harrington family headquarters before, and said something about the Elders, and all of these clues all add
