All Chapters of A Contract Marriage With My Boss: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Matthew noticed her bleeding palm and furrowed his brow but remained seated in the car without a word.Serena, in pain, bit her tongue fiercely, the intense sting briefly sobering her. She gripped the car door and stumbled inside.Nathan sensed something was amiss, but the boss's silence kept him from speaking up.Matthew's gaze remained faint as he looked out the window, the passing light leaving flickering shadows on his face.Serena gazed at him, her eyes reddening, smitten for a moment. A mix of bitterness, regret, and complex emotions surged within her.There was a time when a man vowed to protect he...Matthew's brow furrowed imperceptibly and his lips pursed as he suddenly grabbed her hand and saw the bloody mess.Serena's consciousness blurred again, so hot that for a moment she couldn't tell if it was reality or a dream."Don't move."Matthew's voice was devoid of warmth as he rummaged through the medical kit on the side and lowered his head to quietly sterilize her.It was t

Outside the door, Matthew's eyes narrowed slightly as he noted the untouched honey water and cold medicine.Retrieving the key from a nearby drawer, he unlocked the bathroom door, pushing it open.“Ah-”Serena had been leaning against the door, and she nearly stumbled forward as he entered.Quickly, she grabbed a towel from the shelf and wrapped it around herself.Matthew's pupils narrowed. It was his towel and he did not like anyone to touching his things.He had a strong penchant for cleanliness.Anger surged within him, his emotions reaching a boiling point."Sir, I'm sorry," Serena stammered.She didn't know what else to say, hanging her head as water continued to drip from her soaked hair. Her appearance was disheveled and messyUnexpectedly, Matthew's anger dissipated.He spoke, his tone devoid of anger, "Come out, have your honey water and take the medicine, and stay here for the night."Serena didn't refuse any longer.She was concerned that returning in this state would only

Tara was seething with anger, her chest heaving as she wished she could confront Richard immediately and get rid of this shameless woman right away.However, she knew that even she was in no position to question Richard's decision.She would have to wait for him to return to address the situation.Serena was already running a fever, and the stone floor's temperature seemed to intensify the heat, making it feel like it could cook a person alive.But she couldn't argue, it would only enrage Tara more.She kept her head down and her posture remained upright.Inside the house, Tara glanced at Serena with impatience and walked away, leaving her to endure the punishment alone.Serena knelt for three hours, the intense sun and the hot stone taking a toll on her.Heavy shadows began to cloud her vision, and she felt like she was on the brink of collapse.No one dared to help her, no one even brought her water.Until three o'clock in the afternoon, Nina returned home and was shocked to find Se

The following evening.Serena attended the event and soon realized that Nina's description had not done justice to the grandeur of the occasion.The room was filled with elegantly dressed guests engaged in mingling and exchanging compliments.Serena was clad in the gown gifted to her by Nina, with her hair elegantly arranged and the eye-catching hairpin presented by Richard.Her natural beauty was enhanced only by a touch of lipstick, a rare departure from her usual makeup-free style.The lipstick surprisingly complemented her skin tone, creating a unique and pristine appearance amidst the heavily made-up women in the room.Serena's clean and elegant look made her stand out among the crowd.Michelle's face froze as she caught sight of Serena.She had managed to secure an invitation for this event, hoping to expose her daughter, Samantha, to a world of elegance and opulence.However, Serena's presence immediately shattered her plans."Is that Serena?!" Samantha's eyes welled up with je

The crowd automatically parted, and the elderly man with a walking stick slowly approached with Nina's assistance.His gaze pierced through the room like a sharp blade, locking onto Evelyn.His eagle-like eyes, filled with an unwavering determination, seemed to lower the room's temperature by several degrees, making everyone feel as if a heavy weight pressed down on their heads.Evelyn took a step back, her face paling.Mr. Richard?Wasn't he supposed to be abroad?When had he returned?Seeing his cherished granddaughter-in-law being mistreated in such a way!Did they really think the Harrington family had no one?*Da-da*Richard declared, grounding his cane with authority and a commanding voice."Serena, come over here. I’d like to see who DARES to eject you today,"The few bodyguards who had initially intended to remove Serena hesitated and avoided eye contact.Evelyn's throat was dry, and her fingers involuntarily clenched."Mr. Richard, Miss Serena was..."
