The man who kidnapped Serena didn't think about turning off Serena's phone. He believed that by controlling her phone, she wouldn't be able to call the police.Serena remained silent throughout, her palms sweaty.The car was clearly speeding, and the scenery outside quickly retreated. She suddenly wished this road would never end, at least then the man might not stop and harm her.However, ten minutes later, the man harshly stepped on the brake.The car halted in front of an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts. He holding a dagger, got out and walked to the back, staring menacingly at Serena. "Get out!"Serena pursed her lips, not daring to make any movements.The man impatiently reached out and pulled her down."I know you're smart! Don't play tricks with me! I don't have time to waste on you!"The man grabbed her and brought her into the warehouse.The warehouse was drafty and gloomy, with peeling walls.A blanket was casually laid in one corner, next to it, a camera on a tripod.S
*Rumble, rumble*The roar of the helicopter echoed, the wind lifting leaves and swirling them in the air.The man, intending to unbuckle his belt, halted, his face contorting as he looked towards the gust of wind.*Smack!*The gate was kicked open, bullets flying before the person arrived.The man's leg was hit..“AH!!!”Serena quickly clutched her collar, stepping back. Blood from her bitten lip dripped onto her trembling thighs.She dared not look to see what was happening, her mind devoid of rationality. Any woman in such a situation couldn't remain calm.She'd been able to maneuver around the man for so long that she'd reached her limit.Matthew held a gun and, without checking on the man's condition, walked towards Serena.Serena kept her head down, clutching her collar, curling up even more after the touch on her head, and her body began to shake."I’m here"Matthew rubbed the top of her head, only to hear her scream and slap his hand away, "Don't touch me!"She couldn't disting
The next morning the hospital was busy, Emily was called in early and the doctors were sad."Mrs. Emily, she passed away early in the morning. We haven't informed Miss Linda yet. Considering her fragile health, we're afraid she might be devastated."Emily sighed, rubbing her forehead with her hand, "She's an adult now, and besides, it's her mother who passed away. She has the right to know the truth. I'll go tell her."She entered Linda's room and found Linda sitting quietly on the bed, staring blankly out the window, almost as if life had left her body.Beside her was a small diary that Linda had been using since her hospitalization, writing in it every day.Emily had known about it all along, even buying her the pink diary."Linda, what are you writing?" Emily asked, picking up the open diary.A black pen lay on top, and a string of verses caught her eye.Here, desolate, not a blade of grass grows.Later, you came here.Miraculously, everything came to life.This is my heart.Emily'
Linda and Catherine were already in contact, so receiving a message from her wasn't surprising.But why would Serena go Global Oasis Hotel?Just as Linda pondered this question, another message from Catherine arrived.[Jack is back and will be there tonight. He has already arranged to meet Serena. If you capture evidence of their cheating, Serena will not be able to get along in the Harrington family, after losing the protection of them, she is still at our mercy!]Linda's eyes flashed with a hint of ecstasy, so it was Jack who had returned.The past intimacy between Serena and Jack was well-known, and people often said that a woman's unforgettable love was her first.Serena was persistent, and Jack's departure without a word had always been a pain in her heart.Jack was pretty much Serena's only weakness besides her Granny.The fire of triumph in Linda's eyes grew, indeed, this was the perfect opportunity!She was going to handle this one herself this time!At 7:00 PM, Linda managed
Serena couldn't help but feel helpless.She had initially planned to open the door herself, but Matthew unexpectedly took the initiative to do so.To prevent Linda from seeing Matthew's face, Serena impulsively threw herself at him, using her body to shield his face and swiftly closing the door.In her haste, Serena's teeth inadvertently grazed Matthew's lips, leaving a small cut that immediately began to bleed.Once the door was closed, the atmosphere in the room turned icy.Serena covered her mouth, wincing from the pain that distorted her face.She raised her hand to turn on the light and noticed that the cut on Matthew's lip was obvious and still bleeding."Are you okay?" she nervously inquired, her scalp tingling.Matthew's expression was grim. From the moment he received Serena's call, he felt as if he were in a fog, but he still played along and came here, expecting something important.Instead, she lunged at him upon opening the door, injuring his lips in the process.Is he go
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
Daniel, wearing a white shirt, remained silent as he stood by the floor-to-ceiling window. The wind played with the corners of his clothes.The men carefully placed Serena on a bed in the room and respectfully exited.Once the door closed, Daniel finally turned around.His fair complexion and striking black eyes carried a profound sense of sorrow and silence.He approached the bed, picked up a cup from the side, and splashed water onto Serena's face without any mercy.Coughing, Serena woke up to an unfamiliar ceiling. Startled, she sat up and saw the man standing before her.Unlike Matthew's indifference, this man's coldness was tinged with a hint of sorrow and death, like a quiet, withered narcissus."Daniel," Serena mocked with a smirk on her face.Daniel's gaze remained indifferent. Meeting an old friend under these circumstances left them speechless.Serena wiped a handful of water from her face, feeling unlucky, how could she meet this man.As she tried to leave, Daniel spoke, "I
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
"I know, I'll get right back to the Mercenaries, Maxwell, what happens after we find Matthew? I kill him?""Byron, I told you, I'll take care of him myself."Byron didn't retort anymore and sighed, "Are you in Hustleburg right now?"Being able to jump into the sea after Serena showed the weight of that woman in his heart.He was still alive at this moment, so he must have gone to look for Serena in the first place."Yes, the mercenary club will be handed over to you for now, I want Matthew to live."Byron didn't have any doubts and immediately set off with Vincent, leaving Hustleburg.Serena hung up the phone, her back already covered in sweat.She took a sip of water and went to Matthew's study to finish going through the pieces that were piling up.It was useless for her to worry here, if Byron believed her, he would search Matthew's whereabouts with all his might, she just had to wait for news.And while waiting for news, deal with Infinity Realm in the meantime.Later that night,
That signature at the end of the piece was calm and strong, just like his nature.Serena pushed the piece away in exasperation without looking at it again or signing it.After taking care of the piece, she turned on the news and found that the person who had been talked about the most lately was Sophie.The last time Sophie had encouraged Roger to come after her and tried to get away with it, no way.But the news wasn't about Sophie's bad news, instead it was praising her, saying she was a woman of honor.And she deserved it?"Nathan, have someone go and beat Roger up again, it looks like Sophie has stabilized Roger again."Roger was a total loser and Sophie was a goddess in many people's hearts.Roger may be angry, but with a few coaxing words from Sophie, he has to be obediently trapped, a veritable lickspittle.Sophie's recent life can be said to be smooth, Winters Group development is getting better and better, her position is considered to be completely stabilized.Nathan nodded
"Pull yourself together?"Serena's voice trailed off, her eyes scarlet, "Will Matthew come back if I pull myself together? Whatever Lorraine's intentions are, I'm going to make her pay for all of this."Blair's body shuddered, taken aback by the look in her eyes.But at the same time he felt relieved, this was the Serena he knew, "Get well, I've informed Judy and Scarlett, let them keep you company in the meantime."Speaking of Judy, his tone was softer and vaguely exasperated.Judy left that night without a second thought, he had thought that the other party had left Hustleburg for good, but he didn't realize that she had applied for a job as a college teacher and had resumed her teaching career.As long as she was still in Hustleburg, at least his heart wasn't so empty.Serena glanced down at her wrist and leaned back against the bed to close her eyes.Her mind still hurt, and mind control, as distinct from physical pain, could make a person completely lose themselves.She took a ti
The doctor's hands shook with fear at the sight of such a deep gash, shivering as he secured this wrist with a brace and began to stitch.Serena didn't say a word, she couldn't even feel the needle between the flesh anymore.She kept her eyes open and stared blankly at the ceiling.The stitching process went on for over an hour, and the doctor was already sweating profusely.After carefully sterilizing it, he breathed a sigh of relief.Serena had fallen asleep by now, her forehead covered in sweat.Blair sent the maid in to change her while he and Nathan stood guard at the door.Only when they saw the maid come out did they re-enter the bedroom.If it wasn't for Serena's chest still heaving slightly, they would have thought she was dead.Nathan's heart was in a very bad place and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "So how do we get back to normal?"Blair was anxious and hated to turn around in place, "I don't know, Serena went to Vitec Technologies last time, I heard that she was locked in t
The darkness became long, and all the evil, the hope, all of it dissipated.Nathan didn't know what was happening behind him, he couldn't hear anything but the sharp sound of a gunshot.It was a long run before he gasped and stopped, taking a few others with him and boarding the plane.With Matthew staying there, the others didn't come after them, and it wasn't until the moment the plane took off that Nathan pulled out the ring and looked at it.He no longer knew where it was, and he didn't dare wonder what Boss had been through.The gunshot must have come from Boss; he'd been killed, or killed himself, he didn't know.Back in Pines Ridge, the sky was foggy and the rain was still pouring down.Their party was in a sorry state, and standing at the front door of Pines Ridge, he caught a glimpse of Blair leaning against a pillar, smoking."Where's Matthew?"Blair's voice trailed off as he tossed his cigarette into a side trash can.Nathan didn't dare meet his eyes and could only hang his
Noticing her lax pupils, Blair slashed directly at the back of her neck.Serena only felt a sharp pain coming from the back of her head and fainted.Blair held her up, his brows knitted tightly as he twisted his head to look at Ida and Jo, "Call the doctor."The doctor came quickly and gave Serena a full body checkup and finally prescribed some tranquilizers.Blair looked at the woman slipping into a coma with a horrible grimace on his face.Serena's state today was off, like someone who had been pushed to the brink, with devastation written all over her face.This was definitely not the Serena he knew, he took out his cell phone and made a call to Matthew.Matthew was already in Las Vegas, but the dance here hadn't taken place yet, and he was staying at the hotel for the time being.He had just gotten out of the bathroom when his cell phone rang, it was Blair.Before he left, he had asked Blair to help take care of Serena.Serena has been in a bad mood lately, her eyes always look li
Hearing her say that, Jordan had no more qualms.Serena hung up the phone and lay back down on the bed.She touched the dagger under her pillow and drew it out, gazing at it intently.She really wanted to slit her wrist with this dagger, draining all the blood little by little so that she would feel better.She had just placed the dagger on her wrist when there was a knock at the door, she was startled and the dagger in her hand instantly fell to the floor with a crisp sound."Madam, what's wrong with you?"Ida asked anxiously from the doorway, probably hearing the sounds from inside and thinking something had happened to her.Serena slowly closed her eyes, pulled the ring off her finger and threw it down the window.A great sadness suddenly swept over her, causing her to cover the position of her heart as if she was about to lose her breath.After a long time, she took a deep breath and wiped the tears from her eyes before she opened the door to her room."Go get Jo."She went to Mat
Jordan froze, letting go of the woman in his arms and pointing to the door, signaling the two to get out.Only after both beauties were gone from the area did he raise an eyebrow, "Serena, do you realize what you're saying?"He no longer called her but Serena."I know, didn't you ask me earlier if I wanted to team up with you? I promise."Jordan's brows tightened, Serena and Matthew's relationship didn't seem to have gotten this far, why did she suddenly want Matthew dead?And from the tone of voice, the hatred wasn't normally deep."How do I know you're not lying to me Serena, I'm afraid to trust you.""Matthew is going to Harrington's family headquarters in the near future, you team up with me, I'll tell you his route, I want him to never come back."Matthew was going to Harrington's family headquarters?Jordan's eyes flashed, maybe he should trust this woman for once, "Fine, you tell me his route, I'll have someone intercept it, Serena, don't regret it."Serena bowed her head, her
Lorraine didn't answer her straight away whether she was or wasn't, she opened the door to the side of the car and got in.It was only when the window was about to close that she spoke, "What you want to do with it is your business, from the moment Maxwell started caring about you I knew that sooner or later he would have to pay for everything he had done."Serena didn't respond until the car drove away, then she bent over and whacked her knee.She got into her own car and, somewhat deflated, leaned her back back and closed her eyes.She'd actually gotten a bad feeling in her mind when Matthew had touched her knuckles, and now it was just a premonition that was being sat upon.Back in Pines Ridge, her legs felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds, and her stomach had been flooded with nausea.The more she suspected, the more the sickening feeling grew.She went upstairs and curled up in her own bed, thinking about Maxwell and really not having any other thoughts than the disgust that
