He could let his men do a lot of things, but Neil Brown insisted on handling matters by himself. As his sister, she couldn't do anything about it. Perhaps he was just used to being busy and working, so he didn't care about anything else. Hearing her mother's words, Mia Kyle's beautiful face darkened instantly. She lowered her head and walked forward silently. She didn't want to say anything more. Neil Brown had promised her that he would come earlier this year. Why didn't he come? Didn't he know that she had been waiting for him? She had been chasing after him for 13 years. Now she had finally grown up, but he avoided her. Why? Before that, she went to find him, but the military base was heavily guarded. Not everyone could enter. She couldn't even look at his back from afar. She also made countless phone calls to him, but each time it was his subordinate who answered the phone. He always said that he was busy with military affairs..
Compared with the harmony and warmth of the Kyle family, the Gook family in Beaford City was in a tight and hot situation. As the New Year was approaching, every family was busy preparing goods for celebration, while the Gook family was shrouded in dark clouds. They were not in the mood to prepare for anything, and they couldn't even afford any facilities. The stock price of the Gook family had been falling again and again, which had made them panic. Now, some authorities and departments were looking for them. It was said that they had received evidences to prove that the Gook family had not only bribed some officials but also involved in business crimes over the years. The relevant departments had already launched a comprehensive investigation. During this period, Bernard was not allowed to leave the country. As long as the evidence was true, Gook Corp would not only face the risks of closing down their company, but Bernard would also face imprisonm
Charlie looked at Samuel Daly and snorted, "She is still your biological daughter." Samuel Daly did not answer. He looked at Kristine Daly unemotionally and sneered, "Who told you that she was my biological daughter?" "Not your own daughter?" Charlie looked back at Kristine Daly, who was unconscious on the ground and said, "It's up to you whether to save her or not. Anyway, I don't care if she was dead or alive." After saying that, Charlie turned around and left. It seemed that Kristine Daly's life was not worth a dog's life. Samuel Daly looked at Charlie's back, clenched his fists, and his eyes were fierce. He sneered in his heart, "My Young Master?" Charlie, oh, Charlie. Do you really think that Gook Corp was still the same Gook Corp as before? Do you really think that there are so many people coming to fawn on you? Once Gook Corp gets defeated, Charlie would be a homeless dog. Those evil things that he had done before, those people who he ha
"Then you can shout with me." Karen Daly wanted to be capricious just once. She wanted him to be a silly couple with her. Kevin Kyle frowned and said nothing. She wanted him to shout at the sea. He was definitely not willing to do such a childish thing. Karen Daly grabbed his arm and shook it. "You don't want to?" Kevin Kyle's face darkened and he remained silent. "Okay then, I won't force you." Karen Daly knew Kevin Kyle more than she knows. It was okay for her to do this kind of thing herself then. It was better for him to maintain the image of a cool CEO. "Then I'm going to shout." She added. Kevin Kyle nodded. "I might destroy my image when I shout, will you be scared?" she asked again. "No." He was finally willing to speak. Karen Daly smiled with satisfaction. "That's right. I don't know what you want to express until you speak." Kevin Kyle's face darkened again. She was worried that if she teased him again, he woul
Three days passed in a flash. After the reception of relatives and friends, Kyle's family was free. During these three days, everyone was chatting and talking about interesting things at home. Life was warm and comfortable. Today was New Year's Eve. Everyone in the Kyle family got up early. In the morning, they asked helpers to help with the last round of cleaning. After lunch, they gave them their days off. The Kyle family was very considerate of these helpers. They also had their own families. Every year on New Year's Eve, they would ask them to go home for their holidays. In previous years, Kevin's father accompanied Kevin's mother to the kitchen for the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve. Mia Kyle would occasionally help her with some things. Grandpa Kyle was an elder, and he was old. Of course, he would not do these things. He would just be taking his time to marvel at the scenery outside. Kevin Kyle was busy in his study. Whether it
Amidst the laughter, Kevin Kyle and Karen Daly received a gift from their elders too. Karen Daly also gave the gifts she had prepared beforehand to everyone. The elders and Mia Kyle expressed that they liked them very much. After all, Grandpa Kyle was old, so it was a blessing for him to live this long and healthy. After receiving the gift, he asked Kevin Kyle to walk him back to his room first. Kevin's mother took Karen Daly's hand and said a few words, and then went back to the room with Kevin's father to rest. As soon as the elders left, Mia Kyle's face darkened instantly. She laid on the sofa and looked in a daze. "Mia, what's wrong?" Karen Daly wanted to go upstairs, but when she saw that Mia Kyle looked off, she stopped and asked with concern. "Sister-in-law..." Mia Kyle raised her head, sighed, and said, "Do you think that if you like someone, you should wait for him to like you, or should you take the initiative?" Karen Daly sat down be
Mia Kyle had always been lively. After hearing Karen Daly's words, she jumped up and ran upstairs. While running, she said, "Sister-in-law, go back to your room. If you don't go back, my brother will blame me for pestering you, he might take revenge another day." Mia Kyle felt that her sister-in-law was right. If she liked someone, she should chase him boldly. Why did she think so much? No matter how much she thought about it, it was impossible for the annoying man, Neil Brown, to know. She wanted to see him and tell him personally that she liked him, wanted to be his bride, and wanted to be with him for the rest of her life. Mia Kyle went back to her room and changed into a set of beautiful clothes. She sent a message to Neil Brown saying, "I'm going to the gate of Star Playland to wait for you now. You must come to see me. If you don't come, I won't leave. I'll do what I said. Don't doubt me." After sending the message, Mia Kyle walked down the stairs. A
After drinking the medicine, Karen Daly quickly handed candy to her and said, "Eat it quickly Mia. Don't be bitter about it." Mia Kyle took a bite of the candy and said in a subtle tone, "Sister-in-law, why are you so considerate? My brother, that silly guy, has been so lucky to marry such a gentle and considerate wife like you." "Your mouth can be so sweet with just a piece of candy." Karen Daly smiled and took back the bowl, and then touched Mia Kyle's head. "My mouth has always been sweet." After that, Mia Kyle held Karen Daly and touched her face. "Sister-in-law, since there is nothing to do, and my brother is busy in the study room. Why don't you accompany me here and chat with me? Let's talk about my brother." "What does your brother have gossip about?" Karen Daly was still very interested in this topic. It was impossible to learn about Kevin's past from himself, so it was not bad to hear it from Mia Kyle. However, Karen Daly, who had always been sma
...... 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
