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
After work, Serena didn't immediately head back to Pines Ridge. Instead, she found a nearby coffee shop.What did Matthew want to do...She needed to calm down.However, the coffee shop wasn't peaceful either. She saw Alex entering with a woman in his arms.The woman appeared innocent, but there was a touch of worldliness in her beauty."Alex, it's her. The one who rejected you last time and injured you."Pointed by the woman in Alex's embrace, a girl sitting in the corner instantly appeared in front of everyone.The girl looked ordinary, with a slight frown on her forehead.Serena was close to her, but a potted plant obstructed the girl's view, and she couldn't see Serena.There were three scars on the girl's wrist, indicating multiple suicide attempts.Alex noticed the girl, but he didn't see Serena, who was also present.He walked towards the corner with the woman in his arms.The girl showed no fear; she seemed soulless, merely a shell sitting there.As Alex approached, he kicked
Alex also felt uncomfortable.He did want to make trouble for Serena, but it had to be done subtly.If he openly offended someone, Serena could go back and gossip, and that would be the end of the Wilson Family.Although he didn't want to admit it, he currently didn't dare to provoke Serena.The people in the coffee shop, watching the drama, instantly understood. It seemed that this young lady had an even bigger background.The woman, enraged, turned red in the face. Alex could only comfort her, "She comes from a powerful background. We can't provoke her. If you want to vent, we can do it in private, okay? Sweetie, I'll buy you a bag and a necklace later as compensation."Hearing the first half of the sentence, the woman was initially angry, but the promise of buying a bag and a necklace made her eyes light up."Alex, I'm fine. You're still good to me."After saying this, she cast a proud glance at Serena and coldly sneered, "I won't bother with you. You, acting all high and mighty, n
Sophie poured the orange juice into the trash can, got into the car parked nearby after leaving the coffee shop.The driver, who had been waiting, spoke respectfully, "Miss Sophie, are we heading back?"The woman remained silent, absently touching the scar on her wrist.The driver dared not drive, and the car stayed parked for a while.After half an hour, he tentatively asked, "Miss? Are we going back?""What do you think of Serena?" The woman asked softly, seemingly not hearing his words.The driver tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "Mr. Jack would like her, proving she has exceptional qualities. Mr. Jack is about to return. Miss Sophie, you've worked hard for so many years, and he hasn't even looked at you. It's better to give up. Continuing like this will only bring you more pain."His tone was filled with reluctance.The lively and cute girl from the past had turned into someone with severe depression due to a youthful romance."Is that so? Do you also think I'm not as goo
FranceJack caressed the photo in front of him, his eyes red, and his hair disheveled.He had a nightmare, a very long one."Serena, we haven't talked for a long time. I just dreamed of you. They say dreaming of someone you haven't spoken to in a while means they are forgetting you. Is that true? I miss you so much..."As he spoke the last sentence, a hint of choking accompanied it, causing a twinge in Serena's heart.It felt like time had flown back to that summer when they were seventeen.The young man crossed everyone to be by her side.With just one glance, she became engraved in his bones and blood.She opened her mouth but found she couldn't produce any sound, as if the whole world had fallen into silence.Suddenly, a hand reached over from the opposite side and took the phone.Matthew's movements were elegant and indifferent.He hung up and tossed the phone into the trash bin.Serena didn't have time to stop him, and all her thoughts instantly returned.She was about to questio
Matthew felt an indescribable frustration in his heart and didn't even know where to go.He just didn't want to stay in the villa, didn't want to see her.Fortunately, Blair sent him a text, so he drove to the hotel.Upon entering the private room, he saw the same man he had a fight with a few days ago.Both of them still bore the marks of their recent brawl.Blair had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and his open shirt revealed well-defined muscles, with a deep scar on his left chest, suggesting a once life-threatening injury."Recovered pretty quickly," Matthew remarked as he took a seat.Blair extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray."With your weak strength, I couldn't afford to lie down for a few days."Matthew remained silent. This guy always had this tone – tough and unyielding."Anything happened?" Blair asked, noticing the change in Matthew's expression."Is it because of a woman? I heard you got married. I really want to see what that woman looks like."Blair never exp
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
