Silvia did not know how many people Jayden had under him. She only knew Simon, Stanley, and Wayne. However, she did not know how close the three of them were with Jayden. As Jayden's wife, she knew nothing about the people around him. Silvia felt that she was a failure, and she could not be deemed a qualified wife! Just a while ago, she had learned from Wayne that Simon and Stanley were very loyal subordinates. However, Silvia still could not trust Stanley entirely. She was not being suspicious, instead, she was just being cautious. At such a critical moment, she had to consider all kinds of possibilities... There was a possibility that Stanley and the others had deceived Wayne. Silvia could not figure out the interpersonal relationship between these people, nor could she figure out how loyal they were to Jayden. Once again, Silvia looked towards Jayden for help. Seeing that he was still in a coma, Silvia felt as if there was a needle pricking her heart. She gra
However, the insensitive Stanley had not noticed that Jayden's expression had changed. Stanley continued to express his opinion, "Master Jayden, I've always respected you. I know that you must have listened to her and misunderstood me. She likes to snitch on people behind their backs, and we all know that. Please don't believe what she has said to you, Sir." Stanley was so anxious that he did not notice that Jayden's face had become even darker because of what he had just said about Silvia. Stanley continued, "Dr. Thames and I are both loyal to you. I'll do whatever you want me to do, so how could you say that I didn't take you seriously? Whereas, Silvia, that little girl, not only did she hit Dr. Thames, she even drove her away when you were still in a coma." "Is there anything wrong with that?" If Silvia wanted to hit someone, she could just do it. With Jayden as her backer, she could do whatever she wanted to. It was not up to Stanley to judge her actions. "Master
"You're going to look into it? Then tell me what you're going to look into." Jayden raised his head and once again looked at Stanley with his sharp eyes. Stanley was so scared that he shivered and even broke out in a cold sweat. "Master Jayden, I'm going to... Umm..." What was he trying to look into again? He knew what he was going to do a minute ago, but his mind had completely gone blank the moment Jayden spoke. Under Jayden's somber gaze, Stanley thought it through in fear. Right before his master had flared up, he finally remembered what he was supposed to do and said, "Master Jayden, I'm going to find out if those rumors are true. If they're not, then I'll have to find out where those rumors came from." "I'll give you one day to find out." Jayden's voice was cold and hollow, but he allowed Stanley to go ahead with the investigation. After receiving Jayden's order, Stanley immediately fled. He did not dare to stay in the room for a second longer. Jayden alwa
Jayden finally understood what Carson was saying. His old illness was still the main issue to the entire problem. As long as it was cured, the virus would not be able to do anything to his body. However, the thing that was bothering him the most at this time was his old illness that his gunshot wounds had caused. When the weather changed, no matter how careful he was, he would still get a fever and there would be no symptoms at all. He really had no idea how he could deal with it at the moment. Jayden asked, "Can we inject the vaccine first?" Carson answered respectfully, "Master Jayden, according to my current knowledge of the virus, it is indeed curable with a vaccine, but the bad news is we can only do that after your old illness is completely cured. However, I will look for a virologist to do some research on it. I'm sure that we will be able to find an effective way to cure this virus very soon." "Okay. You can get back to work now." Jayden waved his hand,
As a matter of fact, Jayden indeed had a blessed life. He had gone through a severe car accident which took away his parent's lives and even the car was badly damaged. However, Jayden survived because of his parents' protection. Then, his relatives took away the money that his parents had left behind for him but they were not willing to raise him. When he was in such a desperate situation, the Kyle family adopted him and gave him the best of everything. Many years later, in order to save Karen Joy, he suffered a gunshot near to his heart, and at that moment, he was on the brink of death. However, Jayden closely escaped the jaws of death. Subsequently, the gunshot wound had caused a great impact on his body, so he hired a doctor to treat him. However, the doctor actually poisoned him. How dare Dr. Thames think that she would be able to control and manipulate him through such a method? Haha... As Silvia thought of it, she felt that it was somewhat funn
Now, Alina had come into the picture and she was caught in the same situation as her. Both of them wanted Silvia to disappear from this world forever. As for how they would make her disappear, Dr. Thames had thought of every possible way to do that, which included killing her, hurting her, or even crippling her. "Do you think that we can really get rid of her?" Alina wanted to get rid of Silvia, but she had doubts in herself. The backer that Silvia had behind her was not someone they could afford to provoke. "Once she finds out about the truth, she will definitely leave Jayden. Then, she'll just be a weak and helpless little girl. At that time, she will be like a piece of meat on our chopping board and she can only be at the mercy of you and me." Dr. Thames laughed. "Silvia, that b*tch, had always been arrogant and self-centered. She thinks that Young Master Kyle only likes her. What do you think she will do if she were to find out that she is just a substitute?" Alin
The snow continued to fall. After taking the medicine, Jayden felt a little drowsy and eventually went to sleep. Silvia sat next to his bed and quietly accompanied him. After that, she carefully and thoughtfully measured his temperature with a thermometer. Except for Jayden, she had never given so much care to anyone else in her entire life. In the past, it was her parents and Felix who would take care of her when she was ill. They would surround her bed and take care of her as if they were her servants. At that time, she would always wonder if they would feel that she was a burden. Now that she had experienced it herself, she realized that when it came to someone she loved, she would just want to take good care of him. She hoped that he would get well quickly, so why would she ever feel troubled? "Jayden!" She shouted his name inwardly, hoping that he could always be by her side. She did not expect him to stay with her forever, she only
When Silvia said her name, she obviously felt that Jayden's body stiffened, as if her voice had ruined his beautiful dream. The two of them were locked in a stalemate. After a long while, Jayden slowly pushed her aside and once again started sizing her up as if she was a stranger. "You were having a nightmare." Being stared at by him, Silvia felt uneasy. Thus, she turned her face away and avoided his gaze. However, he didn't let her go. He wrapped his hand around her head and turned it to face him. Silvia was angry that he was calling out another woman's name in his dream. "What are you doing?" she asked. Jayden felt guilty as he wasn't sure what did Silvia hear him say. "What did you just hear?" Silvia bit her lip and replied, "What do you think I heard?" Jayden panicked. "I..." "I... I didn't hear anything," added Silvia. She had really wanted to ask who he was shouting to in his dream, but she held back. Perhaps, the answer was not what she
...... 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
