After tucking Little Karen in bed, Karen Daly was still waiting for Kevin Kyle. It was already after midnight, but Kevin Kyle hadn't returned home yet, nor did he call her. Kevin Kyle had never been like that before. Whenever he was delayed, he would call her in advance to inform her. "What has happened today?" Did something happen? Karen Daly couldn't calm down, thinking about what might happen to Kevin Kyle. She picked up her mobile phone and dialed his phone number again. The phone rang a few times. Finally, the phone was answered. Before Kevin Kyle could speak, Karen Daly said in a hurry, "Kevin, where are you?" "Mrs. Kyle, I'm Nick Black." Nick Black's voice was heard from the phone. Karen Daly was a little stunned and immediately changed into a more polite voice, "Hi, where is Kevin? Why did you pick up his mobile phone?" Nick Black said, "Director Kevin drank too much at dinner tonight. We have arranged for him to stay in the hotel
Karen Daly still remembered Kevin Kyle's words after they got married. He described marriage as a legal process of handing each other's lives to one another. If one of them were to fall seriously ill, the other one could authorize or sign off on medical procedures on the partner's behalf. So the word "wife" was no longer as simple as she thought it was when she just got married. Instead, it was a promise to care for each other for the rest of their lives. If Nick Black didn't understand the meaning of the word 'wife', Karen Daly would need to force him to understand - she needed to know where Kevin Kyle was and whether he was safe and sound at all costs. After a moment of silence, Nick Black replied, "Mrs. Kyle, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but Director Kevin doesn't want me to tell you." "Is it about the secrets of Rovio Incorporation? Or is it some other top secret that you can't tell me? If not, why can't you tell me? Did something happen and
Nick black and Amelia gray have been working for Kevin Kyle for more than a decade. They were probably Kevin Kyle's most important and trusted right-hand men. If Amelia Gray betrayed Kevin Kyle, Karen Daly guessed that the person behind Amelia Gray's betrayal must be Old Master Kyle. Amelia Gray had been by Kevin Kyle's side for a long time. It was almost impossible for her to betray Kevin Kyle just because of a few additional benefits. If the other party was Old Master Kyle, then that made more sense. Amelia Gray may be one of the people planted by the Old Master to spy on Kevin Kyle, or it might be the Old Master who took action and asked Amelia Gray to turn against him. No matter what the reason was, Karen Daly did not care. She only knew that she had to be on guard against Amelia Gray in the future. She could not let her play tricks behind Kevin Kyle anymore. If there was something fishy with Amelia Gray, then what about Nick Black? Karen D
Perhaps because she brought up their past, or perhaps she was too upset, but suddenly, Karen Daly felt that Kevin Kyle's hand moved slightly, as she was clutching on to it. "Kevin—" Karen grabbed Kevin's hand and said excitedly, "You heard me speaking, didn't you?" The slight response given by Kevin was great good news for Karen, it proved that he was not completely unconscious. He could not move, but he could hear her and feel her... "Kevin, Kevin —" Karen threw herself at Kevin and hugged him tightly. She was so excited that she didn't know what else could she do. However, no matter how much Karen called out for him, Kevin did not respond. Karen Daly began to think she was hallucinating earlier. She let go of him somewhat decadently, lowered her head, and kissed him on his forehead. She then said, "Kevin, it's okay even if you don't reply to me. I know you can hear me." She sat down beside the bed again and stroked Kevin Kyle's head. "Kevin, you're
At the farm. Assistant Hart hung up the phone and reported the situation to Old Master Kyle. "Old Master Kyle, Amelia Gray reported that the young master is unconscious now. Master Kyle is also accompanying Madam Kyle in New York. They may not have heard about the news about their son yet since they are not in Chatterton Town. This is the best time for you to take control of Rovio." Assistant Hart's words rang clearly in Old Master Kyle's ears. He was referring to Kevin Kyle's parents being in New York and hence it was a good opportunity to seize control of the company. After a long while, Old Master Kyle sighed and said slowly, "Hart, how has the Kyle family been in the past few decades? How is Rovio? What kind of person am I in other people's eyes?" Assistant Hart was the old master's most trusted accomplice. With every sigh, look, and move from the old man, he could already anticipate what Old Master Kyle wanted to say. "Old Master, I don't know w
The global head of Rovio, Leo Kyle, was battling for his life. He had been poisoned and remained unconscious. The news spread like wildfire, and it served as headlines everywhere in the world. When the news got out, everyone was talking about it. Its popularity was far higher than Mia Kyle's celebrity scandal. Karen Daly saw the news as soon as she returned to the hospital. George Ken looked at her worriedly. "Karen, this matter has gone out of hand all of a sudden. If Matthew doesn't wake up soon, I fear that you can't hold it back." "We've never tried this before, how can you be so sure that we'll fail?" Karen Daly bit her lips, took a deep breath, and immediately made a decision. "George, you are in charge of pushing the press away. No matter what, you can't let those reporters break in and don't let them disturb Kevin's rest." George Ken was a little confused. "Karen, it's not that I'm not willing to take responsibility, but Matthew's men only li
"Amelia Gray, you disgust us already. I don't need to further slander you." Karen Daly spoke out confidently. Although Karen Daly looked gentle and innocent, she was not gullible. She was simply mature enough to take care of herself and her loved ones well. Amelia Gray said, "You..." Karen Daly asked, "What?" Amelia Gray said, "You're shameless! Who do you think you are? Do you think you're the real deal just because you have the same face as the real Mrs. Kyle?" Karen Daly answered, "I don't think you're in a position to discuss my identity and appearance here." Amelia Gray said, "Who do you think you are? Why are you pretending to be Karen Daly?" "Oh... Amelia Gray, do you think you can win just by changing the subject?" Karen Daly raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Amelia Gray coldly. "I'm telling you, don't think that Kevin Kyle doesn't know what you did behind his back. He knows about your every move." "Director Kevin is in a
"George Ken, please keep an eye on her and don't allow her to step out of the room. Don't allow her to contact anyone. If anything happens, just settle it." Karen Daly meant business. She did not address him by his first name only or called his brother anymore. Instead, her tone commanded obedience and respect. "Yes!" Taking in Karen Daly's commanding tone, George Ken did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he was ready to act on her words. "Oh..." Amelia Gray sneered and said, "Nick Black, did you see that? Don't tell me you can't see through the minds of these two siblings. Could it be that you..." Amelia Gray had been by Kevin Kyle's side for so long. She had worked for Kevin Kyle with Nick Black for many years, so Nick would naturally trust her more. But what about Karen Daly? Karen Daly was Kevin Kyle's wife and the mother of Kevin Kyle's child. Kevin Kyle loved her and doted on her. She would never hurt Kevin Kyle. Although Amelia was
...... 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
