Jayden warned, "Your business has nothing to do with me? Silvia Turner, try and say that again!" Silvia's voice became softer as she spoke. "They're trying to find fault with me, and it's not something you can help me with. I don't want to trouble you." Jayden's face was still as dark as before and his voice was cold as he spoke, "Why would you think that this is going to trouble me? What if I just like to clean up after your mess?" Silvia pursed her lips. She did not believe that he would be so kind, so she said, "Unless you have too much spare time to do so." Jayden was stunned and he replied, "That's right. I have too much time!" Silvia was extremely surprised. Sure enough, this man was different from any other ordinary person. She could never predict what was on his mind. She could have just asked him for help, but she did not. This was the very reason why Jayden was so mad. If he was to make himself look at her face again, he might really strang
The Principal smiled and said, "Yes, that's right. Silvia is a well-rounded student, and I also believe that she will never want to cause trouble. Even if she was the one who caused trouble, it must be because the other students have done something bad in the first place." Silvia could not hear what the headmaster was saying at all. Her mind was full of what Jayden had just said. "My dear Silvia." My dear Silvia?! Such simple words... but they inadvertently tugged at Silvia's heartstrings. In the past, when her father was still alive, no matter how busy he was or how late he arrived home, he would always go to Silvia's room. He would check if she was asleep or if she had kicked the quilt off the bed. Her father would sit on Silvia's bedside and caress her head, "My dear Silvia has grown a lot. You will soon grow up and become a lovely young lady." She would then hug her father and say, "I don't want to grow up, I want to be your little sweetheart for
Jayden narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Donald, I believe that you will give us a fair and just decision." The Principal hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Kyle. We will deal with this matter fairly." Although the Principal said that it would be a fair judgment, everyone present knew that the Principal was on Silvia's side. Even if the others were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do at all. Moreover, they were the ones who had started the fight after all. What Silvia had done was deemed as 'self-defense'. Jayden grabbed Silvia's hand and said, "Let's not talk about this today. Let's talk about my dear Silvia's grades first." Upon hearing that Jayden did not want to talk about that matter, the Principal quickly waved his hand and said, "Alina and the other students, please go over to my office and wait for me." Alina was very reluctant as she tried to find a glimmer of hope, "Mr. Donald, I..." The Principal waved his hand impatient
Their eyes shifted to Silvia at once and said pitifully, "Boss, please. Please tell us who he is." Silvia added, "Yes, it's impossible for him to be the legendary Mr. Kyle of Madison City. But, have you guys never thought if he has a son or something?" Upon hearing Silvia's words, Reagan and Lemur were enlightened, "Boss, is that man Mr. Kyle's son? Is he really the son of the most influential man in Madison City?" Silvia thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure, but it's very likely." Reagan and Lemur exclaimed, "Boss, you've hit the jackpot. Do you realize that you've found a gem?" Silvia rolled her eyes at them and said, "What do you mean by jackpot? Besides, I don't think he's a gem at all. He's just a nuisance that I can't get rid of." Reagan and Lemur looked at Silvia with a contemptuous look in their eyes. "We are not girls. Don't show off in front of us like this, we won't envy you." Silvia did not mean to do that at all. She was ju
Silvia wanted to remind Reagan and Lemur that Jayden was an arrogant and self-centered guy, who had behaved indifferently when the Principal was speaking to him. She wanted to tell them that they should just give up trying to get close to him. If Jayden ignored them, not only would they feel ashamed, she would feel embarrassed too. After all, Jayden was in a relationship with her, so if he was to look down on them, that would mean that he was looking down on her too. However, something unexpected had happened. Jayden did not show his usual arrogance at all. Instead, he nodded politely and said, "Nice to meet you guys!" Although it was just a short greeting, Reagan and Lemur were already over the moon. Silvia was confused. Jayden was being such an indifferent fellow when the Principal greeted him, but now, he actually responded to Reagan and Lemur. Sure enough, this man would only do things according to his mood, and regardless of the people that he was dealing w
Jayden was completely different from what they had imagined. He was very approachable and easy to get along with him. Just after the first meeting, both Reagan and Lemur were extremely impressed by Jayden. They thought that it must be Silvia's father in heaven who was looking over her so that she would be so lucky to meet such an excellent man. Jayden nodded and said, "Okay. I will." "You'd better not!" Silvia thought menacingly. At that point, Silvia really wished that she could beat all three of them up. These three b*stards, have they ever considered her feelings? "Young Master Kyle, Lemur and I still have something to attend to, so we'll get going first." Reagan and Lemur were very sensible to excuse themselves so Jayden and Silvia could get some time together. Before leaving, they gave Silvia a knowing look, telling her to seize the opportunity and make sure that he would not slip through her fingers. After that, the two of them immediately left
The moment Mr. Donald mentioned that Silvia was with Jayden now, a chill immediately went down his spine. However, he was very glad that he did not manage to get some things done. If he had actually gotten it done, he probably would have already died a terrible death. "How did that b*tch get together with such an outstanding man?" Alina gnashed her teeth with hatred. How did Silvia end up with a young and handsome rich man while she was stuck with the Principal, who was fat and old? Alina thought that she was much better than Silvia in every aspect, but she was never as lucky as Silvia. Silvia would always get into fights and her grades were somewhat average, but her parents had doted on her like she was their precious baby. On the other hand, Alina was an excellent student who had never failed to achieve the best grades, but her father was an abusive man. He would hit Alina frequently. They were both at the same age and got into University A, which
Silvia was speechless. She had already slept with Jayden multiple times, but she couldn't tell Reagan and Lemur about it, could she? "Boss, hurry and go over to him. We'll get going now, okay?" Before leaving, Reagan and Lemur gave Silvia a gentle push and urged, "Don't dawdle, go!" Silvia sighed in her heart. "What's the big deal of having the power and money? Why does she have to suck up to him? Why can't it be the other way round?" Just as Silvia was immersed in her thoughts, Jayden was already walking towards her. He was not here to suck up to her, instead, he was here to question her, "Did you not see that I'm waiting for you here?" "I did." He was being so flamboyant that he would attract everyone's attention as soon as he showed up. She couldn't even pretend that she didn't see him. Jayden frowned in displeasure. "You saw me but you're still dilly-dallying here!" Sure enough, he would only pretend to be gentle to her in front of the others. Wh
...... 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
