Silvia had a dream, in which her father was still well and alive. Her father took her hand and said earnestly, "Silvia, I left the world suddenly and there are still a lot of things that haven't been arranged yet. I can rest assured knowing that you have your uncles to deal with the company's affairs." "Dad, no..." Silvia wanted to say that her uncles were not as kind as her father thought. When her father met with the accident, the people from the Turner family tried to take over the company he had worked so hard to build. However, even in her dreams, Silvia did not want her father to worry about her. In the end, she did not manage to tell her father the cruel truth. Her father patted her hand and sighed, "I'm worried about you and your mother. These years, your mother has been with me along the way. She woke up early to get to work and stayed up late. Sometimes, she would be too busy to even have her meals." Silvia nodded vigorously and sobbed, "Dad, I k
In case she was mistaken, Silvia rubbed her eyes hard to see the name written on the contract clearly. After rereading a few more times, and ensuring that the name written on the contract was indeed 'Jayden Elias Kyle', Silvia raised her head and looked at the man in front of her seriously. She had been locked up for a few days. She did not get to see Mr. Kyle, the most influential man in Madison City. Instead, she met his son, Jayden. At first glance, Jayden looked like someone not to be messed with. His eyes appeared so calm, yet intimidating, that it seemed like he had power over everything and everyone around him. For example, at this moment, his gaze towards her appeared so intimidating that it seemed like he was ready to pounce on her at a wrong move she might make. Then, Jayden said, "Miss Turner, take a good look at the contract. If you do not have any questions, sign your name here, and then our contract will take effect." "Contract?" Silvia
In front of the large French windows, Jayden looked at the car that was driving farther away quietly. It was not until Silvia's car was out of his sight that he said, "Get the driver." "Young Master, are you going out?" Simon was the one in charge of arranging Jayden's schedule. He was very clear that Jayden did not have any appointments today. Jayden, who had never gone out apart from work matters, was planning to go out?! Simon didn't quite believe his own ears. For a moment, he thought that he was hallucinating. He asked Jayden with such a surprised tone. Jayden glanced at him and asked, "Do I need your approval to go out?" Simon smiled awkwardly and said, "No, no... I didn't mean that. Young Master, if you want to go out, I'll arrange it right away." After Simon left, Jayden looked in the direction where Silvia's car drove off. He looked at her with a little more tenderness in his eyes. He was reminded of that special girl whom he could not get.
"Miss Turner, you can't leave on your own!" The two bodyguards stopped Reagan's motorcycle from going forward. They didn't intend to let Silvia leave. Reagan glared at the two bodyguards and said discontentedly, "She's my boss. Be careful when you talk, or I'll make you suffer... Hey, boss, you..." "How could you pinch me?" Before he could finish his words, Reagan closed his mouth immediately after receiving Silvia's warning look. He looked at them again and found that the situation seemed to be a little different from what he had expected. These two people didn't seem to be following his boss around out of loyalty. Instead, they seemed to be monitoring her. Monitoring her? What exactly had she been through in the past few days? Why would someone send men to keep tabs on her? Reagan couldn't understand. He looked at Silvia again, only to see her winking at him and signalling him not to ask anything. She wanted him to play along. After exc
Lemur grabbed Silvia and said worriedly, "Boss, you know what kind of person Norman is. Prince and I will never let you meet him alone." "Don't worry. I will be fine." Silvia shrugged her shoulders. It was easy for her to say, but deep down, she felt like there was a stone pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe. Last time, Norman, sent someone to drug her and brought her to the black market to be sold. Now that her mother was in his hands, Norman would probably do things more unscrupulously. Lemur exchanged glances with Prince quietly and said, "No matter what, either one of us must go with you." "Thank you, both of you." Silvia was glad that she had a pair of good friends, Reagan and Lemur. Every time she was in trouble, they would accompany her and support her. Prince said, "Lemur, wait here as boss said. I'll go in with her, and I'll keep you posted." Anyway, they could not let Silvia take this risk alone. It was better to
"You, you... just for a woman?" Norman couldn't believe his words, but he had to believe it. There was the gunshot on his leg, and also the bad news from his secretary. These sudden events were telling him that he could not afford to offend this man in front of him. However, Norman had already inadvertently done so. If Norman had known that he would meet a person like him in the black market, he would never have sold Silvia to the black market in the first place. Now, he was in a situation where he went for wool and came home shorn. Norman had been working for Kurtson Turner for more than ten years. He had made great achievements in Madison City. In these years, he had built himself a good reputation. Unexpectedly, Norman sent Kurtson to his death easily, but he fell into the hands of such a young b*stard. Mr. Kyle had only arrived in Madison City three years ago. In just three years, he had gained a great reputation, and no one could compete with him.
In the parking lot. Jayden sat in the car, but Silvia was not willing to get in. She looked around, waiting for the best time to escape. Jayden just sat in the back seat of the car calmly. He didn't ask her to get in the car, nor did he ask the driver to drive away. The two of them were in a cold war for a long time. After a while, Silvia couldn't hold it in anymore. She leaned against the car door and said bravely, "Mr. Kyle, I know that we have a contract, but now I have something very important to attend to. I can't go back with you." Jayden crossed his legs, looked in front, and said coldly, "You have something important to attend to? Do you want the police to take you back? Or do you want Norman to accuse you of using guns illegally?" As soon as he mentioned the gun, Silvia became agitated. "Jayden, so you do know that using guns is illegal? I thought you didn't know that." Jayden was speechless. What an ungrateful woman. Silvia said again
The car was not going toward the villa where Jayden lived, instead, it was heading in the opposite direction. Silvia was born and raised in Madison City. She knew the city like the back of her hand. Soon, she found out that something was wrong. She looked at Jayden and asked, "Mr. Kyle, where are we going?" Jayden ignored her and just looked out of the window. He completely ignored her question. Silvia was so angry that she waved her hand in front of him. "Who on earth is this guy? Can't he be nice? He's trying to pretend to be cold and arrogant. Who is he putting a show on for?" If she had not been smart enough to know that he was not a bad person, she would have poisoned him to death. Since Jayden did not reply to her, Silvia didn't ask any further. Anyway, she knew she couldn't get a cold person like him to speak up. Not long later, the car arrived at the First People Hospital in Madison City. The driver slowed down and parked outside
...... Eight months later. Adrienne had given birth to a daughter, gathering the entire Yard family in Chatterton Town. Everyone was in high spirits but Jefferson had a sour expression on, as if that was the worst day of his life. Sierra found a moment and went over to Jefferson. "Hey, Jeff. Adrienne just gave birth but why do you have such a long face on? Did you want a son instead or something?" Jefferson responded rudely, "It doesn't matter to me whether it's a boy or a girl. That little girl is our daughter, and I'll love her no matter what." Sierra continued, "Why do you look so upset then?" "Must I have a reason for that?" Well, he was angry at himself. Adrienne had almost lost her life in the labor room earlier, but he hadn't been able to offer any help. Throughout Adrienne's pregnancy, Jefferson had done an enormous amount of research and found out that a C-section birth was relatively safer. Hence, he'd insisted that Adrienne und
...... Johan was still clamming up. Maxtor was so anxious that he couldn't stand still. "Johan, what happened between you and Sierra? Can't you at least explain the situation to me?" After a long silence, Johan looked up and out of the window. "There have been so many fights and misunderstandings between us in the past years and it seems that the past was a time that we can never go back to." Upon hearing this, Maxtor seemed to have put his finger on the crux of the problem. "Did Miranda make Sierra misunderstand you?" Maxtor said earnestly, "Johan, I've told you before that woman has a twisted psyche and you need to stay away from her. You pitied her for being an orphan, but look at what she has been up to." "It has nothing to do with Miranda. It's me. If I..." If he had explained everything to Sierra back then, she wouldn't have felt that insecure about their relationship. He knew everything, but he still got mad at her. Maxtor continued, "He
...... On the first day of school, Miranda was once again met with an unpredicted truth. She found out that Sierra was the top scorer in the entrance exam. She was the overachiever that every university was dying to recruit. Not only did Sierra come from a good family, but she was smart and beautiful to boot. Sierra possessed everything she could have in life. Miranda couldn't figure out why she had to take Johan away from her when she already had so much. What made Miranda even more disappointed was not her inferiority but Johan. On the first day of school, she was over the moon to see that Johan was at the gate to receive her. However, when Johan took her luggage from her and she was wallowing in her excitement to see him, He said to her, "Miranda, that is the girl I like, Sierra. She will be your sister-in-law in the future. You should get on well with her." She didn't want to be nice to her. Instead, she hated her. Mirand
...... Johan's words frightened Miranda so much that her face turned pale. "Johan, Mrs. Silas adopted me. I would have died a long time ago if it weren't for her. How could I have nothing to do with the Silas family?" Johan's face was somber, and his voice chilled Miranda to her bones. "You know that my mother was the one who took you in, but look at what you've been up to all these years?" "Johan, what-what did I do?" Miranda said, trembling with fear. Miranda was an expert at feigning a pitiful appearance and reaping sympathy from others. She even managed to tear up and gazed heart-wrenchingly at Johan at that very moment. However, Johan did not buy into her ploy at all. Not only did his eyes demonstrate her no pity, there was also a trace of disdain that Miranda had never seen before. He loathed her. Upon realizing that, Miranda's heart was broken. Johan had been her dream for those past years. She had worked so hard to do so many things in
...... Sierra wasn't able to refute because what Miranda said was the truth. It was indeed true that many could never compare with her background. However, although she was born privileged, that didn't spare her from putting in effort for her own future. Prestigious universities wanted her because she was the top scorer in the entrance exam but not because of her family background and connections. All of a sudden, Miranda smirked sinisterly. "I know you like Johan, and you want to be with him. Sierra, I like him too, and I want to be with him. You have everything so why do you still want to take my man away from me?" "Excuse me? Who took your man?" Displeased, Sierra said, "Miranda, you were the one who told me that you two were siblings, and that there was nothing going on between you guys. And mind you, you were also the one who encouraged me to go after him." Miranda shouted in a low voice, "Sierra, if I hadn't told you that, would you have remained fri
...... Averting her gaze, Sierra turned around with difficulty. However, just as she had taken a step forward, Miranda's voice sounded from behind. "Sierra, I didn't expect you to come to the airport to pick me up. Imagine my delight to be able to see you on the first day of my return." "You've misunderstood, Miss Attwood. I'm not here to pick you up." Sierra did not conceal her hatred for Miranda as she could not even be bothered to dole out the niceties at her. Miranda chuckled. "I haven't seen you for so many years, but you're still so adorable." It seemed that Miranda couldn't sense the despise Sierra had for her. She approached Sierra with a smile and wanted to give her a hug. Sierra stared at Miranda's outstretched arms and quickly dodged her. A single glance at Miranda and her eyes would be sullied. Sierra thought that she would even throw up should her body come into contact with Miranda's. Miranda was never good at reading between the
...... Stopping her car, Sierra quickly got off to check the situation. No sooner had her feet been on the ground that four men got off from the car in front of her and surrounded her. One of them pointed at her and barked, "Don't you f*cking know how to drive? If you don't, then don't drive. Say it, how much are you going to pay for the damage!" Sierra was driving in accordance to normalcy, but the other party had, so suddenly, cut into her lane without a signal. As hard as she had stepped on her brake, she still collided with the car. They were supposed to be the ones held accountable for the collision. However, they got out of the car and shouted at her, extorting compensation. Sierra suspected that these men had done so deliberately to scam her. She took out her mobile phone and was ready to call the police. However, before she could even unlock her phone, one of the men had already wrenched the phone away from her. "We have something important t
...... In the middle of cleaning the table, Rosie said, "He doesn't only come here to have meals, but he would also get one to go every time. No jalapenos on the one to go. He says that you can't take spices because your stomach doesn't handle it well." Sierra did have a stomach problem, but it wasn't till the point that she couldn't take spicy food at all. Moreover, Johan had never brought any tacos back for her. Sierra figured that he was probably getting it for someone else so she asked, "What did he say to you when he asked you to pack it?" Rosie smiled and said, "He said that he was going to bring it for his girlfriend. He's obviously talking about you, isn't he?" "Oh, his girlfriend." Smiling, Sierra did not put forth any more questions as she knew that Johan had never regarded her as his girlfriend. For him, she was nothing more like a leech that he couldn't shake off. Rosie looked at Sierra and said earnestly, "I know you two fought tod
...... "My ability to act coy?" Sierra said inwardly. She had no idea from where did his temper sneak in again. However, she knew that somehow everything she had done seemed to piss him off. If he didn't like her, then why did he come looking for her? Did he have nothing else better to do? She smiled and said, "Mr. Silas, since you don't like being around me, then let's not meet anymore in the future, nor have any meals together. I'm afraid your appetite will take a nosedive when you see me." "You shouldn't say that, Sierra." Rosie handed one of the plates to Sierra and said, "Every couple gets into fights, but you must know your boundaries. Some words are too hurtful, and you shouldn't just say everything that comes to your mind." Sierra didn't make a sound. She wasn't a fan of others poking their noses in her affairs. Besides, she was not close to Rosie either so she found her rather meddlesome. Rosie didn't seem to register in her mind that Sierra was d
