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
At this point, Matthew was in a semi-conscious state, completely paralyzed by the effects of the drug.He was barely holding on and couldn't hear what people around him were saying."Yes I am. Let me take care of him," Samantha reached out to help Matthew stand.Blair scrutinized her for a moment, puzzled.Was this really Serena?She didn't seem particularly outstanding, similar to any woman on the street.Would Matthew be attracted to such a woman?He quickly dismissed this speculation.It seemed that Matthew's bad mood tonight had nothing to do with a woman."There's a room upstairs. Here's the key to the room I often stay in. Take him there, and I'll call a doctor,"Blair said without suspicion. He was too confident, thinking no one would dare deceive him."Okay," Samantha replied straightforwardly, unable to conceal her excitement.Matthew's mind was like mush, and he was being led forward in a daze.He couldn't even recognize where he was.Samantha, supporting him, entered the el
Matthew got into the car, holding onto the last shred of rationality, and drove back to Pines Ridge.Upon entering the villa's living room, he didn't see Serena and had to go upstairs.Opening the door to his room, he found Serena sitting solemnly on his bed.Her hair was disheveled, her fair skin more enchanting under the lamp's glow, and her figure alluring.Serena, unaware that tonight's actions were akin to a lamb entering a tiger's den, was genuinely happy to see Matthew return. She smiled and quickly stood up to greet him, "You came back so quickly."She had initially intended to wait for him in the living room, but what they needed to discuss required privacy, so they had agreed to talk in their room.Approaching, Matthew instantly caught a whiff of the shower gel scent on her. She must have just taken a bath.The heat inside him surged again, slowly eroding his rationality.He felt like a hungry wolf, and Serena was a delicious piece of meat, and, crucially, this meat was cons
Matthew remained silent, hearing the door slam shut.He reached up to touch his face.The surging heat still rampaged through his body. What was in that medicine, so potent...He thought he would be angry, given the current situation wasn't what he intended.It was the medication inside him causing trouble, not his own intention.However, he was surprisingly calm. He calmly entered the bathroom, placing himself under the cold water. The chill cleared his mind.He looked at his reflection in the mirror, his eyes still carrying the lingering fierceness.A perfect lion, when encountering something it liked, would tear it into several pieces before savoring it slowly.He just had such feelings towards Serena. He wanted to claim her as his own, to hide her away, visible only to him.Infinity Realm was powerful, and his hands were not clean. Or perhaps, he himself was a fierce carnivore.The more dangerous the creature, the more it liked to present itself as untouched by the human world.Af
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
