After sending the boys to their room, Silvia went back to the room and covered Jayden with the blanket. "When you were asleep, Levi and Julien were really worried about you." "I'm sorry to let you guys worry about me!" Jayden held Silvia's hand, but his voice still sounded a little weak. "Silvia, if I don't wake up one day..." Silvia interrupted him in a harsh voice, "Jayden, I've been hoping that you won't wake up, so that I can spend all your money on other men." Did this fellow not know how worried she was? She was so worried about him, but he actually spouted such nonsense to her the moment he woke up! "He should die! Then he'll see how I spend his money on some other kept man!" she thought fiercely. "Silvia, how dare you!" Sure enough, the overbearing nature in him was triggered at that instant. When he heard that Silvia wanted to spend all his money on other men, he was jealous, even if he knew that she was just teasing him. Silvia pouted her l
Silvia was speechless for a moment. "Jayden, you're almost 30 now, why are you being so serious about a child's joke?" Jayden said, "I said, no means no. There's no room for negotiation." Silvia said, "Can you not be so overbearing?" Seeing that Jayden and Silvia were about to get into an argument, Julien, who was calm, immediately stepped forward to stop them. "Jayden, you can go do whatever you need to do with Sister Silvia. I'll keep an eye on Levi." Jayden did not want to quarrel with Silvia, but when he saw that Silvia was being so protective of these two boys and she even wanted to bring them along to meet with his mother-in-law, he was a little displeased. It seemed like he was jealous of the two boys. Silvia did not want to get into a fight with Jayden too, but she really liked the two boys. She did not want them to suffer any grievances, and that was why she was being so protective of them. Now that Julien had stepped forward to ease the si
"We were hired to kill the boys, so we're just doing our job. We don't know who you fellows are." Ashton and Barnas were already panicking. But because they had been in this industry for so many years, their mental endurance was much better than ordinary people. Although they were flustered, they did not show it on their faces. "Huh... So you're telling me that whoever hired you did not tell you who our Young Masters are?" The gunman curled his lips and sneered. "You've been in the business for so many years now, so I find it quite hard to believe that you two did not actually do a background check on your targets before killing them off." "Of course we would do that, but this time the person who hired us said that our targets are just some little brats. Moreover, we were sure that those kids weren't from any of the powerful families in Madison City. If they really were, we would have looked further into it." Speaking of this, Barnas realized something. He was so angry that
At University A. Mr. Donald's incident had caused a great impact on the education industry, and the Ministry of Education had attached great importance to it. After a thorough investigation, five professors who were in collusion with Mr. Donald had been dismissed. After the new chancellor took office, he had issued several new regulations and was determined to rebuild University A's reputation. The students were all happy to accept the newly appointed executives and lecturers. Everyone at the university was excited about the new start, but there were also a couple voices questioning about the whole situation. For instance, who was the person who posted on the university's online forum? Up till now, it was still a mystery. No matter how deep the students' investigation seemed to get, they still could not gather any clues about that person. For instance, the disappearance of Felix Xavier, the former president of the student union. It was an ongoing mystery.
"Jayden, don't you think this is a little too much?" Silvia felt stifled as she looked at all the gifts in the house. "Are you trying to show off your wealth?" "What do you mean by showing off?" Jayden said, "I'm rich, why do I need to show off my wealth? Only those who don't have much money would show off." What was this man talking about? And with that kind of tone? He was being so arrogant that it annoyed Silvia. Silvia glared at him and said, "Sure, you are rich, you can do whatever you want. But let me tell you, if you really have no where else to spend your money, you can just give us cash. We don't need anything else, we just need money!" Jayden said, "We're family now." What Jayden meant was that his money was Silvia's too. She could just spend it as she liked. However, Silvia did not grasp the meaning behind Jayden's words. Silvia rolled her eyes at him. "My mother hasn't met you nor has she acknowledged you yet. Don't say that we're a famil
"Silvia, let's talk over our meal, okay? I really need to get back to the kitchen now." Mrs. Turner said as she walked away, "Come to the kitchen after you get Jayden a cup of water. I've prepared some snacks for him. He must be hungry after a long busy day." "But Mom... I'm your daughter, not him!" At that instant, Silvia felt as if her mother did not want her anymore after getting a son-in-law. Moments ago, Mrs. Turner could not get her eyes off Jayden at all, and she did not even take a glance at Silvia. This was something that she had never seen before. In the past, as long as Silvia was around, Mrs. Turner's gaze would be fixed on Silvia no matter where she went. "Silvia, I'm thirsty. Hurry up and go get me a glass of water." Silvia was already frustrated about the situation but Jayden, that b*stard, was trying to order her around. "If you want to drink water, you can go get it yourself." How was this possible? How did Jayden become her mother's favorite ch
Just as Silvia felt that the whole world was against her, Jayden, who had stolen her mother's love away from her, had finally found his conscience. He picked up a piece of her favorite bacon and put it on her plate. "Silvia, I'm sure that Mom had specially cooked this for you. You should try it." D*mn it! So that b*stard actually remembered her favorite food! With such a simple move, Silvia was already so moved that she was going to shed tears. "Thanks!" She shoved the piece of meat that Jayden had given her into her mouth. It was the taste that she was familiar with. At that instant, she had forgotten about all the grievances that she had suffered that night. "Slow down. No one will take them away from you." Jayden patiently reminded. "It's not like you don't know that I can never slow down when there's good food in front of me." Silvia was still the same old Silvia. She was still as straightforward as she used to be, and her emotions would be clearly written o
After saying what she wanted to say to Jayden, both Jayden and Mrs. Turner fell silent for a moment. Then, Mrs. Turner said, "Well Jayden, you can stay here for a while when I go help Silvia out with the dishes." Jayden immediately got up, "Mom, you've been busy the whole day. It's time to sit down and have a rest. I'll help Silvia with the dishes." Mrs. Turner hesitated for a moment, and then remembered that he was already her son-in-law. She should not regard him as an outsider, so she said, "That's a good idea." Jayden said again, "Mom, you can watch some TV for a while. I will come over again after helping Silvia." "Okay!" After watching Jayden enter the kitchen, tears started welling up in Mrs. Turner's eyes. Since Silvia was born, Mrs. Turner knew that Silvia would eventually have a family of her own when she grew up. Mrs. Turner also knew that Silvia was married to Jayden even before they had told her about it. Before this, she felt like she was dre
...... 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
