Seeing that Jara did not speak, Kayla thought that she had asked a question that she shouldn't have asked. For a split second, she was panicking. Right away, she started to think about whether she should change the topic and quickly leave. Just then, he said, "Yes." Although his voice was very soft, it made Kayla's heart flutter. It didn't occur to her that he would admit it. After all, she was just... A strange feeling flitted across her heart. With confusion in her eyes, she looked up at him. Jara was very stunning. In her life, she had never seen this kind of handsomeness. At that moment, he was exuding a strong aura and a sense of alienation. However, thanks to this sense of alienation, she could feel an inexplicable throb in her heart, just like the feeling of seeing the man she liked for the first time. On the other hand, Jara didn't have much thought. So, after admitting it, he looked at her. "After you return to Ascijan, forget a
Upon hearing this, Uncle Poick frowned. Then, he reached out and took the letter. On the other hand, Kayla was sitting near to where he was standing. So, she craned her neck and saw the name on the envelope. These three large words were written clearly—To Jara Holland. Jara Holland? So, this was his name? For some reason, Kayla felt that his name was familiar as if she had seen it somewhere back in Ascijan. She tried to recall, but she couldn't remember anything. After Uncle Poick took the letter, he waved the guard off. Then, he turned to Kayla and said, "Miss Burke, I will be heading out for a while. Please suit yourself." To that, Kayla nodded, and Uncle Poick left. Once he left, she secretly took out the mobile phone, which Uncle Poick had asked someone to prepare for her to use temporarily. She then went online and searched Jara's name. As soon as she pressed enter, a torrent of news appeared on the screen. It was
For a moment, Uncle Poick was stunned. When he left just now, Kayla was still having dinner in the other building. How did she end up here so quickly? Thinking that Jara was still in the study room, he panicked and hurriedly went to her. On the other side, Kayla was in a daze. Just now, that servant only mentioned that Jara was in the study upstairs, but she did not tell her which room. Upon arriving upstairs, she found that there were too many rooms and the doors were shut. So, she didn't know which one was the study. Having no choice, she had to check the rooms one by one. Quietly, Kayla opened every door and peeked. As she was afraid that she would seem rude, she didn't dare to make too much noise. By doing that, she looked like she was sneaking around in the eyes of others. When Uncle Poick was walking toward Kayla, she was placing the tray on the ground. Then, she leaned against the door, turned the doorknob, and poked her head
Back then, Samej was always strict toward her younger brother, whereas he was too lenient toward her. No matter how arrogant, domineering, ignorant, and spendthrift she was, Samej wouldn't mind. In the past, she thought that this was because Samej doted on her. However, after leaving home and experiencing all the hardships, she found that she didn't have the ability to fight back and deal with all the problems. Only then, she realized that perhaps Samej wasn't lenient to her out of love. Instead, it must be that he felt that she didn't need to be guided. Even though Kayla was his daughter, he also treated her as a pawn of the Burke family. A beautiful pawn that didn't have to gain any ability. Usually, this pawn only needed to be raised with some money. Then, at a critical moment, it could be useful enough to save the family. Just like now, when the business of the Burke family was facing a crisis, Samej forced her to marry a man wh
As she spoke, she kept a sweet and well-behaved smile on her face. Besides, she also spoke in an ingratiating tone. If it weren't for her beautiful appearance, and her ability to fawn over people gently, Samej would not have pampered her and married her off to his business partner to curry flavor. From this, one could tell that how beautiful Kayla was. If it were another man, he would have been fascinated by her beauty. However, Jara merely glanced at her coldly. As his faint smile was indifferent, he seemed like he was insulting her. With a cold tone, he uttered, "Why do I have to eat your dishes? There are cooks in the castle." After hearing that, Kayla was at a loss for words. It was the first time someone said to her such ruthless words, and she felt awkward. After all, anyone who tried so hard to please others would feel embarrassed too if they were turned down without mercy. However, Kayla had experienced so many t
Her dignity and pride had completely shattered. She couldn't believe how mean he was. Besides, the colder he was, the wider the smirk on his face, which was annoying. After she heard those words, her tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks. Moreover, her fair face instantly went red due to embarrassment. With her head slightly lowered, she bit her lower lip, and her thin body stood there trembling like a swaying catkin in the wind. Then, in a breaking voice, she cried, "Mr. Holland, I didn't..." "Don't bother explaining. You will only seem like you are covering it up." He interrupted her words ruthlessly as if he wasn't interested to hear what she was going to say next. Hence, Kayla could only shut her mouth unwillingly. After that, Jara added coldly, "I dislike embarrassing a woman, but you're the one who asked for it. You can't blame me. I can pretend not to know what you've experienced before, but if you intend to deceive me
However, in front of Jara, she was at a loss for words. In the end, she could only stamp her foot and scream in anger, "I hate you, you heartless jerk!" After that, she ran toward the door while covering her head. Her retreating figure could be seen storming out the door and ran into the corridor. Once she was gone from Jara's sight, the smirk on his face gradually faded away, and he became indifferent. Meanwhile, Uncle Poick, who was waiting outside, came in after he saw Kayla leave. Seeing Jara sitting on the sofa, he respectfully stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Holland, Miss Burke..." "She said that she would devote herself to me," Jara uttered faintly. With his eyes lowered, he was playing with the ring worn on his finger. Hearing that, Uncle Poick didn't know what to say. If he heard these words before what happened just now, he would have been thrilled. After all, Jara was already 30 years old this year! Despite h
In Kayla's opinion, Uncle Poick was just a butler. To put it bluntly, he was just a high-ranking servant. So, she thought even if he was offended, she didn't have to worry about it. However, she had no idea that Uncle Poick was not merely a butler in this castle. He was also Jara's only family member, relative, senior, and even... benefactor. Therefore, he owned an extremely high position in the castle and a special place in Jara's heart. When Kayla was daring enough to offend Uncle Poick, she must have never thought of how miserable her life would be in the future. Even so, Uncle Poick was a man of dignity and integrity. So, despite hating Kayla, he still maintained a distant and polite expression. "Miss Burke, what can I do for you?" Looking at him, Kayla was a little embarrassed. After all, she had just disrespected him, so she didn't think it was appropriate to ask him a favor. Nevertheless, she had no other way. Just now,
