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
Karen Daly let out a faint smile, "No, you didn't think to underestimate me. I'm just a person being pushed into desperation and now I have to fend for myself." Amelia Gray looked into Karen Daly's eyes and suddenly felt that all was lost. She suddenly realized that they had made a mistake — they had forced Karen Daly, who was usually quiet and very innocent, to become Kevin Kyle's loyal protector. What Karen Daly said was absolutely right. She could easily find a way to torture Amelia Gray. A kind-hearted soul would only treat another kind soul the right way. If a kind-hearted person were to be pushed into a corner by an evil person, he or she would also react viciously out of self-defense. Otherwise, they would definitely be taken advantage of... Karen Daly was not surprised that Old Master Kyle wanted to kill her, but she didn't expect that the old man would try to kill Kevin Kyle. After all, he had been a respected elder of the Kyle family for de
Neil Brown was still wearing his military uniform. He looked very stern, and seemed like a man you would not want to mess with. He stood next to Kevin Kyle's sickbed and looked at him. After observing for a long time, he said, "As long as Matthew remains unconscious, I am responsible for the safety of all of you." "Mr. Brown, thank you!" Karen Daly expressed her gratitude and looked at Kevin Kyle. After staring at Kevin Kyle for a while, Karen Daly walked to him and sat beside him. She lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead, whispering, "Kevin, I have something to do. Mr. Brown will accompany you here for a while. Don't worry about me. I will come back soon to be with you." After saying that, she turned around and left. She seemed like she was in a hurry to meet up with Nick Black, but in fact, she was afraid that she could not control her emotions in front of Kevin Kyle. In front of other people, she could be calm and composed, but when she saw K
Perhaps having noticed Karen Daly's gaze, Old Master Kyle looked at Karen Daly with disdain and ridicule. Karen Daly knew that in the eyes of the Old Master, she was not enough to pose a threat to him, so he could ignore her and ridicule her. Karen Daly retracted her gaze and focused on the document that Nick Black passed to her. On the first page, she saw the name of an elderly figure — Old Mr. Pierson. If he appeared on the first page of the documents, he must be of an important status, but there was no detailed introduction about him. Karen Daly had to ask Nick Black, "Assistant Black, who is this Old Mr. Pierson?" Nick Black replied, "Old Mr. Pierson is about the same age as the Old Master. He's a senior who worked by the Old Master's side when they were building up the company. He is regarded as the major shareholder amongst the shareholders. However, he didn't have any children, so the shares in his hands have always been taken care of by Director Ke
After everyone was seated, the moderator for the meeting spoke first. "The current head of Rovio Corporation Inc's, Leo Kyle, is seriously ill and unable to manage the businesses at Rovio Corporation Inc for the time being. All major shareholders are gathered here for this emergency meeting to vote for a suitable candidate to take charge of Rovio Corporation Inc in the interim." As soon as the moderator was done speaking, Director A immediately said, "Director Kevin is sick. Fortunately, the Old Master is in Chatterton Town. Then let's nominate the Old Master for this. He can manage the business on behalf of Director Kevin for the time being." After the first person spoke, many people echoed his words, they were agreeing to nominate the Old Master to take charge on a temporary basis. Old Master Kyle waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He cleared his throat and said kindly, with a smile, "Thank you for looking highly upon me, especially nominating me,
Kevin Kyle's pace seemed to be the same as usual, at least in the eyes of other people, but Karen Daly could see that his steps were a little stiff. Yes, they were stiff. The poison in his body must have not been completely expelled yet. He was holding on so that no one would see through it. Karen Daly's heart ached for him and tears welled up in her eyes. In front of Old Master Kyle and the many shareholders, she did not back down, nor was she afraid, or think about crying. However, knowing that Kevin Kyle was still weak and recovering from the poison, but had rushed there for her while she faced these challenges, she could not hold back her emotions. Karen Daly pursed her lips. It took a lot of effort to suppress her worry for Kevin Kyle. When he came over to her, she did not care about what the others might think. She reached out and put her arms around his waist, hoping to give him some strength. "I'm fine." Kevin Kyle stood by her and gave
...... 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
