Serena sighed, seemingly speaking to herself, "I've always wondered what you would look like."Matthew pursed his lips, eager to hear more.However, Serena offered only a brief statement before falling silent, her gaze returning to the file on the table.Matthew's thoughts briefly went blank.What does she mean by that?Was she disappointed with his appearance?"I didn't want to keep it from you. I knew you didn't care about me, so there was no need to explain," Matthew explained.The two aren't talking about the same things, but inexplicably they can also converse...Serena stood up to pour a glass of water for Matthew."Boss, I am not blame you. You really don't have to explain yourself to me.""Boss, please have some water," she offered.Matthew raised his gaze, looking directly at her. "You call me boss?"A wry smile tugged at the corner of Serena's mouth.What does he mean? Isn't that what Nathan calls him?Matthew took the glass, his fingertips grazing it twice.He spoke softly,
Edward hesitated for a moment, standing nearby.Richard's eyes glared at him, "Are you deaf?"Edward glanced at Matthew, who remained silent and composed.Sighing, Edward ordered someone to put the whip aside."Sir, are you sure about this..."Matthew's a adult. This isn't going to solve anything at all."Sure about what? I'm sure going to educate my grandson on what makes a real man!"Matthew stood up, his expression cold."Grandpa, even if you whip me, I still want a divorce."Richard was incensed, his breathing heavy, and he pointed his trembling finger outside, "Kneel! Edward,my whip!"Matthew offered no resistance and obediently knelt on the floor.Edward gripped the whip and hesitated for a moment, but Richard's icy glare pushed him to swing the whip.*Snap! Snap!*Edward lashed Matthew with precision, avoiding vital areas, but ensuring that the blows broke the skin.Blood soon began to seep from Matthew's back.He didn't flinch, and the beads of sweat on his forehead merged int
Upon arriving at the hospital, she noticed that it was the same hospital where her grandmother was being treated.The urgency of the situation was evident from Nathan's worried expression and his brisk pace.Serena didn't have time to think about it. She hoped to discuss her thoughts on the trial with him, it just so happens that now is the time!As they entered the hospital room, she saw that man, who appeared pale, sitting up with a document in his hand.Matthew looked up slowly when he heard the door open, his gaze settling on Serena."Boss," Serena greeted him with a polite nod, walking over to his hospital bed and taking a seat.Nathan, who had been escorting Serena, observed the interaction between the two, noting the sudden coldness in Serena's demeanor towards boss.What happened? Hadn't the two of them gotten along well before?He decided to give them some privacy and discreetly closed the door.Matthew put aside the papers he had been examining and cleared his throat.His fac
As Serena mulled over the shocking revelation about Matthew's identity, her mind raced.Nobody would expected the man rumored to be seriously ill to be the mastermind behind Infinity Realm..She was left momentarily speechless.Matthew, lying on the hospital bed, slowly closed his eyes, his expression masked in a cold demeanor.Finally, after some time, Serena summoned the courage to sign the document, though her hand trembled slightly.She handed it to the waiting doctor, who promptly left the room.However, Serena still found herself in an awkward position.That night when she hugged him and kept saying she wanted to be sugar mommy came back to haunt her, oh my!That's just quite the same as cheating on her husband in front of him isn't it?Serena just felt her scalp tingle!She wanted to address him but struggled to find the right words.With impatience creeping into his voice, Matthew said, "You can go now."Serena tried to speak, attempting to call him Matthew, but she stumbled o
The car accident scene was nothing short of tragic.The drunken driver was already under control, the taxi driver lost his life on the spot, and Serena, who had been sitting in the back, miraculously escaped with her life.However, her legs had been severely injured, and from the moment she regained consciousness, she couldn't feel them. They seemed like they no longer belonged to her.Terrified to touch her legs or ask questions about her condition, Serena lay in her hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.She'd rather die than lose her legs!These were her dancing legs.When she had first discovered that man's love for ballet, she had devoted herself to learning the dance, determined to perform at the school gala.Despite Evelyn's insistence that she didn't hail from the proper background for such an elegant dance, Serena had pursued it relentlessly.The gala had rewarded her with thunderous applause, a testament to her stubborn and defiant nature.It was ingrained in her to f
Within moments, Jennifer was pushed into the hospital room.Upon seeing Matthew inside, she was a little stunned but quickly composed herself with a smile."Serena Wilson, you really can't stay away from men! Isn't it enough that you just stole someone's boyfriend at school? How long has it been since you've had another one?" Jennifer taunted.Serena raises an eyebrow, and it looks like Catherine brainwashed her pretty successfully."Catherine told you? Jennifer, I don't seem to have any beef with you. Will you be too vicious this time?"Jennifer's mocking smile didn't waver. She ruffled her own hair and retorted, "I've long since grown tired of seeing you! Poor people like you deserve to die!"Serena found the situation amusing and couldn't help but burst into laughter."I suddenly understand why Catherine chose you—very brainless indeed."Jennifer's face froze, and her eyes narrowed in anger."What do you mean?"Serena didn't answer but turned to Nathan in the doorway."Nathan, call
Robert figures that with him personally getting down on his knees and admitting fault for his daughter, normal people would be too busy to stop it and then forgive Jennifer for what she's done.Jennifer had been punished anyway, there was no need to keep harping on it.Unfortunately, Serena was never normal.Serena looked at Robert with a smile that held a hint of threat, "Mr. Robert, I don't have time to witness your father-daughter love drama. If you want to protect her, hand over the bracelet that Samantha gave her initially. It will be better for both of us."Despite the seemingly pleasant smile, Serena's words carried an unsettling undertone.She had gone to investigate that day after hearing what her stepsister had said, and learned that her mother's bracelet had been given to Jeniffer, and now was the perfect opportunity to get it back.Immediately, sweat broke out from Robert's forehead, and his body, which was supposed to be kneeling down, gradually stood up."Jennifer, where
When Serena wakes up, she realizes that she's not in a hospital, but in the Eaglecrest Estate, Grandpa's residence, where the doctor says she just choked on the water, nothing serious, and her leg has been re-bandaged.Richard sits in shock in the living room with Robert and Greedella kneeling on the floor as they all wait for her to wake up.Serena coughed, when she heard what the servants had told her, a slight red coloring in her eyes."Is the wound on your back okay?"As she watched the doctor change Matthew's medication, she realized that his back was so badly injured.His back was also soaked when he carried her up in the pool."Hmm."Matthew closed his eyes weakly, his forehead furrowed imperceptibly a few times.The doctor applied the medicine and gave a few more instructions before leaving.He put his jacket back on, moving a little slowly."This is bracelet in the pool, it's fake."His voice didn't waver as he placed the bracelet in front of Serena.A trace of warmth crossed
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
