The scene was so familiar to Kristine Daly. Her mother had been bullied by her father all these years, and she always stood at the door and watched coldly. It was like watching a show, and she never wanted to help her mother. She never expected that karma happened to her before she had any preparation. Hehe— Kristine Daly wanted to cry out loud, but she also wanted to laugh out loud. It was so ridiculous. She wanted to laugh at her ignorance, her uselessness, and why didn't she help her mother back then. If she did something to help her mother at that time, maybe there might not even be today? At this moment, she finally felt the pain that her mother experienced in those years. There was someone in front of her who could help her, but she didn't give any response when she shouted out loud. Before the incident about Kevin Kyle, Kristine Daly thought that her father still loved her. He might not love her with all he has but at least they ar
It was already late when Kevin Kyle came back from the West Side. Karen Daly wanted to eat in steamboat badly, so she brought Kevin Kyle to a steamboat restaurant where she used to go with Faye Reed. The location of the steamboat restaurant was very remote, but the shop was surprisingly very busy. The owner of this restaurant was very friendly and also the food tasted very good. No matter what kind of customers entered the restaurant, they will feel a sense of back home. If a customer visits the restaurant for more than three times, the boss will recognize the customer. When Karen Daly brought Kevin Kyle into the store, the lady boss came up and said with a smile, "Hi, Karen." Look, she was so kind, she greeted Karen Daly like they were friends for many years. The lady boss recognized her even when she did not visit the shop for three years. If this was not a homely feeling, then what is? Karen Daly smiled. "Nice to meet you, madam!"
After hearing Karen Daly's question, Kevin Kyle frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, " He studied psychology. From now on, don't care about him." "Yes, Mr. Kyle!" Karen Daly looked at him and smile. She had already known this man's arrogance and his persistence in his opinion... But when facing him, she could accept it. At the same time, in the corner of the city, in the club, there were people who were drinking, dancing, and even more dirty transactions. Kristine Daly did not know how she came to this place. She tried to recall the glass of water that the maid gave her. After drinking the glass of water, she couldn't remember anything. When she woke up, she was already lying here, and a fat man was pounding on her. She closed her eyes, bit her lips, and tried not to think about it. She acted like she was just dreaming. When she woke up from the dream, everything would be fine. However, she was very clear about what happened was real.
After leaving the cafe, Karen Daly suddenly felt a little flustered. The feeling was so strong that she was feeling very uneasy. She suddenly wanted to see Kevin Kyle very much, so she could immediately hold his hand. In the past two days, news about the development of the Rovio Western project had been well spread. Karen Daly knew that the reason why Kevin Kyle could work unhealthily and around the clock was all because of the project. Kevin Kyle was the new director of Innovative Tech, and he had to participate in other projects of Rovio Incorporation Inc. Their big boss in Rovio Incorporation really gave him so many jobs. Kevin Kyle was always so busy, and he always left early and returned late every day. They didn't spend much time together. Maybe that was the reason why she felt so uneasy. She checked the time on her phone. There was still one more hour till lunchtime. She'd better go and find Kevin Kyle at Rovio Incorporation Inc for lunch befo
Everything happened too fast. When Kevin Kyle wanted to save Karen Daly, she was thrown to the bushes by the road. Kevin Kyle could not do anything but to watch Karen Daly's slim and weak body being thrown out and fell to the ground. He watched helplessly and couldn't make any sound. The collision seemed to have hit his heart. Listening to the bang, his heart was broken into pieces. Karen Daly laid on the green lawn. Blood gushing out from the wounds on her legs and pooled on the green lawn. The peony next to her was bright red, but she looked like a withering leaf. Kevin Kyle's heart sank. He clenched his fist and ran quickly to Karen Daly. He picked her up and held her gently in his arms. " Karen Daly, don't be afraid. I am taking you to the hospital in a minute. Karen Daly heard Kevin Kyle's voice and twitched the corner of her mouth. It was not sure whether it was because of the pain or because she wanted to pull out a smile to make Kevin Kyle feel at
Kevin Kyle's words made Karen Daly speechless. She wanted to go to the bathroom, but how could she ask him to help her? She was very embarrassed and shy! Kevin Kyle did not sense her embarrassment. He carried her to the washroom, Karen Daly's face was blushing, she said, "Kevin, no." Kevin Kyle ignored her. He put her on the toilet seat and he was about to help her take off her pants... "Kevin—" Karen Daly grabbed his hand and said in a panic, "I'll do it myself. I really don't need your help." Didn't he know that she would feel shy? She's a woman. How could she do such an embarrassing thing in front of him? It was very bad for her image. "Are you sure?" Kevin Kyle asked seriously. He just wants to help her and did not think about anything else. However, looking at the little woman's blushing face, he guessed that she must have thought otherwise. "I can." Karen Daly almost raised her hand to swear. Even if she couldn't,
"Our father died in a car accident. The police said it was an accident. But everyone knew that it was not." George Ken sighed and said, "This time, car accident again? Only the Gook family can use such dirty tricks." Kevin Kyle said calmly, "The Gook family won't be able to struggle for much longer." "Yes." George Ken looked at Kevin Kyle and sighed again. "As long as you are ready to fight back, the Gook family won't be able to fight much no matter how capable they are." "I don't have to do it. Someone will take care of them." Kevin Kyle looked at George Ken and said this calmly. After listening to Kevin Kyle's words, George Ken understood that Kevin Kyle was aware of everything he had done. For example, Kevin Kyle knew that George Ken gave Karen Daly some hint to look for Mr. Wilis to deal with the Gook family. Since Kevin Kyle already knew about Mr. Willis, George Ken was not afraid of admitting this. He added, "It's a good show to make Mr.
Mr. Wilis promised quickly, but at the same time, he had already thought of various possibilities. He was sure that Kristine Daly's proposal to marry him was definitely not as simple as just wanting to be his wife. The reason why he agreed immediately was that he wanted to hear and see what her real purpose was. "Who cares about being your wife?" Kristine Daly smiled slyly. She said, "I want 20% of the shares, and I want to be the matriarch of the Gook Corp." It was her long-cherished wish to be the matriarch of the Gook Corp. Now that she could not rely on Charlie, she thought of other ways. Kristine Daly graduated from a well-known university in China and went to study at Havard University in the United States. She has both appearance and mind. After leaving Samuel Daly and Charlie, she could do better. She should be better than Karen Daly, with whom they were so obsessed with. "It turns out that Miss Daly is still thinking about the young ma
...... 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
