Monique was stunned. She wanted to push him away, but then she suddenly thought of something. She looked up and saw two men in a hurry passing by them. The two men walked so fast that they didn't notice that Levi and Monique were at the side of the road. However, Levi and Monique saw the two people passing by clearly and knew that they were from the group the night before. Although they had some makeup on their faces the night before and their faces weren't clearly seen, but their body shapes were easily recognized. One was tall and the other was short; one was fat and the other was slim. They would be a very eye-catching combination wherever they went. "They're the men from last night, Levi." "I know. Keep up with them." Levi and Monique looked at each other and quickly decided to follow the two people one after the other. Levi was walking in the front and Monique at the back. Levi who was in the front was closer to the enemy, so the danger level he
Monique asked, "We've already walked out of the alley. Can we run now?" Levi poked her head and said, "Why are you running? In this kind of circumstance, even if you were to grow four legs, you can't run away. It won't do you any good to be reckless, you have to be smart in such circumstances." "What should we do now?" "Let's continue moving and see along the way. Let's hope that we can find a way to escape before they notice something unusual. Only in this way can we have a chance to make a smooth escape." Monique said in frustration, "It's all my fault. If I had found anything unusual earlier, we wouldn't have walked into our enemy's trap." Levi remarked, "I admit that your brain is not sharp enough, but I really can't blame you for today's matter. The other party didn't inform us in advance, so what can you do?" "If I were more vigilant and stopped you in time, we wouldn't be in this situation." Monique took a look and she saw that the enemies aro
"Well then, go on!" Monique happened to be thinking about the same thing. Levi was impressed by her and let her continue. However, she couldn't think of another possibility. "That's all for the time being. I got nothing else." "It's hard for us to protect ourselves now, but our task is to take down the two bad guys. Do you think we should continue?" Monique was always calm during an emergency situation, and she had never let Levi down before. At this moment, Levi wanted to force her to think carefully and consider all the problems. "But, but..." Monique knew that it wasn't good to rely too much on Levi. However, these days she had gradually gotten used to relying on him and she couldn't come up with new possibilities. It was only after Levi's questioning that she realised how serious the situation was if she stopped thinking. "Young Master Brown, please give me a bit more time to think about it." Seeing Monique's anxious appearance, Levi felt a little distressed
"We don't have to squeeze together to get changed." The special bathroom for disabled people was not a small space for one person but it was inconvenient for a man and a woman together. Monique turned around and wanted to escape. "I can go and change in the ladies' bathroom." "Aren't you afraid that the enemy will catch one of us when we are separated?" Levi did not stop her but just said this while Monique was leaving. Monique stopped in her tracks after hearing this. She hated herself for being like this. In the past, when she was with her teammates in the same class, she had never seen herself as a woman. She would do whatever they were doing. She would never be inferior to them. Only in front of Levi would she regard herself as a real woman. When doing things together, she wouldn't be thinking as a soldier but as a girlfriend. When performing a task, one should have no distracting thoughts. However, in the face of Levi, she always thought too much, not
"That's a good idea, but the enemies aren't stupid either. They might think of this as well." Levi had the same idea, but there might be other possibilities too. After two rounds of encounters, the enemies had figured out their backgrounds. Levi and Monique also knew something about their enemies. They really couldn't be looked down upon. "Then what should we do now?" Monique felt like she was almost out of her mind to think of such a solution. If this solution couldn't work, she really couldn't think of any other way in such a short time. Levi patted her shoulder and said in a relaxed manner, "Whether the enemy can think of it or not, the civilian area is the best place to go at the moment." "Does this mean that my idea is feasible?" Monique looked at Levi, her eyes shining. She eagerly hoped that her idea could get the recognition and support of Levi. Levi nodded and gave her an affirmative answer. "Of course! You've come up with a very good idea. Moniqu
Honey? Monique's heart throbbed when she heard Levi addressing her this way. She was a little flustered and confused, but she mainly felt delighted. However, she couldn't show that she liked it. Otherwise, he would definitely eat her up. She pretended to be very fierce and glared at him. "Who is your honey? Don't address me like that, or I'll beat you up." Levi did not care about her threat as he knew that she was not really threatening him. Otherwise, her cheeks would not be red, which was clearly a bashful yet endearing look. Levi knew that Monique was hiding her shyness inwardly in a fierce way, and he would not let go of such a good opportunity to tease her. "Honey, you escaped with me and have to suffer. Don't worry, I am your husband and I will definitely make a big fortune in the future. By then, I will let you enjoy life in a big mansion." Monique didn't want to talk to him but Levi pointed to the door as a signal of someone eavesdropping on their
Apparently, Kieran Quartley was Ben and Mark's superior. He said, "You two, don't jump for joy just yet. Now go and search for Levi and Monique; bring them back to Mr. Gilbert. I'll give you two days. If I don't see them by then, you can go ahead and kill yourself. Don't bother Mr. Gilbert again." "Yes, Sir," said Ben and Mark, and then there was no more sound. Monique raised her head and looked at Levi. "Who on earth is this Kieran? We didn't have his information before, but I think he has quite a lot of power." Levi said, "I've already had someone look up on him. There'll be results in a while." Monique remarked, "Since Sheldon has shown up, where would Edward be then?" Levi replied, "Let's wait and see. As long as he is still alive, he'll definitely appear." Monique still wanted to say something, but another voice came out from the audio monitor. It was a conversation between Ben and Mark. "Levi is as sly as a fox. How can we catch him in two days
"Don't use too much force." Monique pouted discontentedly. She turned over and sat up. "My bones were almost crushed by you." Levi said, "So should I stop?" "Yes, or else I'll be impaired." "Then it's your turn to help me." Levi turned over and lay prone on the bed. He urged, "Come, help me loosen my muscles." Monique asked, "Are you sure you want me to do it for you?" Levi patted his back. "I've already laid down, of course I'm sure." "Alright then, I'm coming." Monique did not hold back. She had never done this kind of work before but she had been massaged by others a lot. She had great strength, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Monique sat beside Levi and put her hands on his shoulders. Then, she pressed hard and immediately, Levi sighed in satisfaction. "Good gracious, that feels good!" Monique hit him on the back and warned him, "Others will misunderstand if you keep this up. You might be shameless, but I'm not." Levi said, "A
...... 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
