Semua Bab A Contract Marriage With My Boss: Bab 131 - Bab 140

An hour later, Serena had amassed a considerable number of chips."Jordan, this is your mistake. Seems like you brought this woman to challenge you today," someone remarked."We underestimated her," another added.Everyone knew Jordan as the extravagant spendthrift. Even if he lost in gambling, those who played with him, if lucky, could rebuild their companies even after bankruptcy.Hence, he enjoyed considerable popularity in these circles.Jordan leaned slightly, glancing at Serena. Her victory in the tenth round had surprised him.After all, facing Blair, a man who never allowed women to win, was no easy feat."Didn't expect you to be so skilled. If I knew, why bother going to college? You could've come here and made more money in an hour than in a lifetime," Jordan's initial words might have led to a misunderstanding.His lips were now close to Serena's ear, and only she could hear his words.Serena frowned and pushed his head away slightly.To onlookers, it seemed like banter, an

Several days later, Matthew's injuries gradually improved, but the atmosphere in the hospital room became colder day by day.Serena had not come to visit, not even a phone call.Serena had been busy with company matters these days, and she hadn't had the mind to deal with anything else.After work, she was stopped by Greg."This is Boss' document, Serena. I heard Boss is in the hospital. Please deliver it to him."Greg was Gloria's father, and Serena didn't expect him to approach her voluntarily.He should know about the situation between her and his daughter.Without refusal, Serena took the documents and went straight to the waiting car outside."Go to the hospital," she told Jo, closing her eyes slowly.Jo sighed in relief. Serena finally agreed to go to the hospital.Nathan had mentioned that the atmosphere in the hospital was currently quite terrifying.20 minutes later, Serena arrived outside the hospital room.She pushed open the door and found Matthew working on his laptop.Se

Inside the room, Mira's provocative words and the man's ambiguous responses continued, too low to be heard clearly.Serena felt a sudden wave of nausea in her stomach.She thought that given Matthew's personality, he wouldn't engage with other women outside, at least not within the next two years.However, she didn't expect to witness such a scene."Do you still need your bag?"Jordan spoke casually from the side, a glint of cunning in his eyes.Serena had just left the room not long ago and realized she had forgotten her bag inside.Now, returning, she encountered this unexpected drama.She tugged at the corner of her mouth, turning around slowly."No, let's not disturb them."In the elevator, Jordan noticed her unpleasant expression.He reached out and rubbed her head. "If you're sad, my shoulder is here for you to lean on. Feel free to use it."Serena pushed away his hand, seemingly uninterested.Sad? Perhaps.Having a man like that constantly around her, how could she not have oth

Serena frowned.He's already sleeping with Mira. Why was he clinging to this piece of marriage contract?Wasn't he supposed to agree immediately, allowing her to make way for his beloved woman?She couldn't understand him.Matthew closed his eyes, calming the anger in his heart. "Serena, don't test my patience."His angry demeanor was something no one would want to witness.He let go of her and, grabbing his coat, headed for the door.Serena went upstairs, sleeping straight through to the next day without any disturbances.When she woke up, she was ravenously hungry.After a simple meal, she grabbed her bag and headed out, planning to buy some things at the mall before visiting Mary.However, as soon as she entered the mall, she spotted Mira.Mira, who had lost her previous nobility, now carried a hint of charm."Serena, it's you," she greeted with a smile, occasionally adjusting her collar.Serena could clearly see the red marks beneath her collar, indicating the enthusiastic encount

Tara noticed that in the short time Serena had been upstairs, Nina had come downstairs on her own, and she felt relieved."Matthew! How come you have time to come over today?"Nina, in her slippers, asked excitedly when she got downstairs, showing no signs of sadness.Matthew, not used to comforting people, rubbed her head when he saw her sparkling eyes."Mom said you're not behaving?"Nina pouted. "No, I just broke up."After speaking, she turned to Tara."Mom, sorry for making you sad."Tara's eyes reddened, and her emotions had been tense due to the unknown fate of her husband.Seeing her daughter acting sensible, she turned away, feeling somewhat awkward."You're just spoiled. You young people talk for a while. I can't help with matters of a broken heart."Serena, seeing Tara's reaction, suddenly felt envious of Nina.She was the little princess pampered by the Harringtons, not having suffered any grievances.Her family genuinely cared for her, standing at a pinnacle others could
