Serena trailed behind Matthew, sensing his growing anger."Matthew, wait for me," she spoke, attempting to break the heavy silence.However, Matthew paid her no attention, proceeding straight to the car and reclining with his eyes half-closed, as if in a light doze.Feeling awkward, Serena bravely initiated conversation, "I bit you, and you bit me back. Are we even now?"She assumed Matthew was upset about the wounds on his lips.Matthew's eyebrows furrowed as he slammed the car door.The atmosphere inside the car was tense, and Serena shivered from the cold. Matthew's chilly aura enveloped her.The car finally came to a stop at Pines Ridge. Politely, she opened his door, but Matthew walked past her without acknowledging her efforts.Feeling frustrated, Serena pondered how to pacify such an unpredictable man.He had at least done her a favor tonight, and though he seemed reluctant, at least he was finally cooperating.Once back at the villa, Matthew headed straight to his study and di

Serena walked downstairs, checking her phone in her pocket, relieved to find it there.Her car was parked at the supermarket entrance, so she decided to take a taxi to get there.Sighing, she scolded Alex in her mind and hailed a cab.The driver, a woman, handed her a pack of tissues, saying, "Madam, just wipe off the water."Serena thanked her, taking the tissues and dabbing at her neck.In Daniel's eyes, there was only Scarlett and others in the world. So she wasn't surprised he was rude.She still couldn't understand why he betrayed Scarlett, especially when their love seemed so intense back then.All his tenderness, anxiety, heaviness, and impurity were given to Scarlett, only for him to discard her and be with another woman.It was laughable. Men's expressions of love, it seemed, were short-lived.The taxi stopped at the supermarket entrance, and Serena spotted her car, breathing a sigh of relief.After paying the fare, she got out and headed towards the car.Since she was alread

Emily furrowed her brows and reopened her phone. The more she looked at the man in the video, the more he resembled her grandson.She glanced at Serena, then turned and sat on the nearby sofa.It seemed she intended to thoroughly understand the situation.Serena had the same intention. Seizing this opportunity, she wanted Emily to see Linda clearly!Soon, Nathan brought over the investigated video and also carried a laptop.From Linda's stalking to her framing, everything was crystal clear.Emily stared wide-eyed in astonishment, finding it hard to believe Linda's actions.Linda had always been obedient and well-behaved. Besides, with her mother's recent death, how could she have the mindset to stalk Serena?Emily’s lips trembled, and an inexplicable anger spread within her.At this very moment, Linda called."Grandma, where are you?" She asked cautiously, her voice pure and obedient.Emily, with a tight-lipped expression, asked, "Linda, what were you doing last night?"Linda was star

Serena exclaimed and rushed over, grasping Mary's hand.Mary's vacant eyes suddenly cleared, flickering with awareness. She opened her mouth, but with an oxygen mask covering it, speaking was inconvenient."Granny, rest well," Serena said, rubbing Mary's hand against her cheek.Feeling the pain, Serena remembered the injury on her own cheek. Mary's gaze held concern and inquiry.Serena couldn't explain the clear imprint of Emily's slap on her cheek. She couldn't tell her grannyr that she fell, could she?"Just a minor disagreement with a colleague, everything's fine," Serena reassured.Mary slowly squinted, lacking the energy to look at Serena any longer, and drifted back into slumber.Serena pursed her lips, raising her hand to touch her own face.Granny must be worried.Matthew stood behind her, hesitating for a moment before extending his hand, patting her shoulder.He wasn't good at comforting people, so the gesture was stiff.Serena was about to say something to thank her when th

The board of directors was like the school's lifeline, providing all the resources, medical facilities, and teaching equipment. It was a group that couldn't be offended.However, Henry had been working at Metropolitan University for so many years and had never been afraid of anyone."I won't give up the position of the principal! Inform the students in the Law School immediately; we're preparing for a lawsuit."On the first day students entered Hustleburg, Henry would address them from the stage.He would tell Metropolitan University students not to fear getting into legal trouble, as they had the support of the nation's top law school. All law students from various institutions would stand behind them!The members of the board of directors felt somewhat awkward.They knew Henry's style over the years, but unfortunately, the anonymous report had escalated the matter to the education bureau.If this issue wasn't resolved, there might be a thorough investigation from higher authorities.
