Given what was occurring, Karen was stressed and knew that stressing would not help the situation. She chose simply not to think about Charlie and what he would do, and focus on her daily life. Coming out of the pet food store, Kevin asked Karen, "Where do you want to go now?" Karen knew that Kevin was very busy, but she also wanted to be pampered and behave like a spoilt wife in front of her husband. She took Kevin's arm and shook it. "I want to do some duty-free shopping. Would you like to accompany me?" Kevin did not say whether he was willing or not. He just opened the door and said, "Get in the car then." Karen thought that her guise might not have worked, but she saw that Kevin had set the destination on the navigation system as a duty-free shopping mall. Kevin didn't make time to go shopping in the past. Whatever clothes he wore were all custom made by the Kyle family's private designer and atelier. Even if it was the mat
Karen saw that Madonna's eyes were full of hatred, and she even tightened her grip on Kevin. "Miss, could you please recommend a few men's scarfs for me?" The sales assistant gritted her teeth in hatred and stood still. Another staff quickly came over and said sweetly, "Do you want to buy it for your boyfriend? Your boyfriend is so handsome." Karen smiled and didn't correct her. Karen picked out a plain scarf from the samples brought over by the sales staff, feeling that the color and material were very suitable for Kevin. "How about a try?" Karen blinked and looked at Kevin expectantly. Although she didn't know anything about these goods, she knew that Kevin's clothes were all hand-made high-end goods. She was worried that he would refuse to try these on. Karen held her breath and waited for his answer, but he nodded without thinking. "Okay." Kevin agreed. The sales assistant then approached to help him. Karen took the
Kevin was very satisfied with Karen's answer. They were in public, but he caressed her cheek and kissed her lips gently. Being watched by the people around them, Karen felt very shy. She pushed him away, but he pulled her all the more firmly, so that her body was attached to him. This man, Kevin, usually looked gentle and refined, and his gestures were elegant and exquisite, but his strength was really strong. He could not be pushed away at all. "What's wrong with this person?" "Is there something wrong with his nerves recently?"Karen thought. His behavior changed every second, which made her unable to keep up with him. Just as Karen was getting so embarrassed that she wanted to hide somewhere, Kevin finally let go of her and said, "Well, this is my present for you." Karen's heart was in a mess. She felt dispirited. This gift was not valuable at all. If he really wanted to express gratitude towards me, Karen thought, he could simply giv
"Leo, why don't you talk? Are you unhappy to see me?" She pouted and said, "You haven't seen me for so long, and you don't miss me. I have decided not to like you anymore and to abandon you." Speaking of this, she giggled again and said, "Leo, if I don't like you, what do you think you should do? I guess you will have nothing in your life because no woman would like to be with a cold piece of ice like you." After that, she tutted, showing her deep sympathy for his experience. Kevin walked steadily into the elevator with her in his arms, still ignoring her. The woman kept on saying, "You say that you are 28 years old, but why don't you find a girlfriend to take care of you? Do you want the Kyle family to have no descendants? Or should you obey your grandfather and marry me?" "Shut up!" Kevin squeezed out two words from his mouth. He really wanted to throw this drunken girl on the street to accompany those vagabonds. Although Kevin was ve
The girl raised her head and said angrily, "I'm 18 years old and no longer a child. Why can you do whatever you want? Why do you still want to control what I do?" Kevin said sternly, "Just because I am your brother." "So what if you are my brother? Does it mean you can throw me in the pool? Does it mean you can be mean to me?" Saying this, the girl cried loudly without a care in the world, sobbing loudly. "It's useless to cry. With this attitude, I will make you go home and face the wall and repent for three months, and write 300 lines." Knowing that the young lady was just pretending to be upset, Kevin remained hard-hearted that he would not be softened by her act. "You don't like me. You don't want me anymore. You always bully me..." The more she said, the more she cried. "Don't change the topic. We are talking about what just happened tonight." Kevin emphasized this fact. "You are bullying me." The girl wiped her eyes and stared at K
"She's gone?" Kevin asked without raising his head while reading the newspaper in his hand. "Yes, Young Master." Aunt Anne nodded in panic. "Alert Jacky Ball on this. Call me immediately if there is anything. If something like what happened yesterday happens again, even if I have to tie her up, I will." Kevin put down the newspaper in his hand and got up to go to the kitchen. "Alright." Aunt Anne nodded repeatedly. Kevin finished his breakfast alone and then asked the driver, Mr. Watson, to drive him to Innovative Tech. As soon as Kevin left, Mia came down the stairs with a swagger, holding Aunt Anne and acting coyly, "Aunt Anne, thank you for helping me so much. I really love you so much." Aunt Anne said with lingering fear, "I was scared to death just now. I thought that young master had known we were lying to him." "He's not a God. How could he know that I'm upstairs?" Mia said while wearing a cap and sunglasses. "Aunt Anne,
"Director Kevin?" May screamed as if she had discovered a new planet. "Do you think this back looks like Director Kevin's?" Karen was originally not interested in gossip from the entertainment world, but when she heard May's voice, she uncontrollably clicked on to Twitter. Polaris' love life was on the main page of Twitter, with a few pictures attached. The first picture was her quietly nestled in a man's arms. The second picture showed their backs that looked like they were kissing. The third picture was of the man carrying her into a mansion. Although the shot was only the man's back, this back was so familiar. She had seen it just this morning. But still, just a back view did not make it 100% sure that this man was Kevin, so she comforted herself with this excuse. However, it was not only Karen, but all the people in the office thought it looked like Kevin's back. Karen could finally confirm that the man was Kevin's because t
Duncan said, "It's strange. That Kevin guy didn't take action on this matter at all. I don't know what he wants to do." Charlie looked away and glanced at Duncan. "Did you just say he didn't care?" Duncan said, "I don't think that this Kevin guy realizes how serious it was to offend you." Charlie said, "Then give him more damage." He could only drive Kevin over the edge and make Kevin beg him for mercy. Then, he would hint at Kevin to divorce Karen, after that he will let her go, that will be enough. ...... Karen wandered around, and after a while, she stopped at a famous food street in California. There was delicious food from all over the world on the food street. Along the way, she bought and tasted every food she could see. After she was full, she had her problems all figured out. There was no need for her to torture herself. She will go back at night and have a good talk with Kevin. If the matter was accepta
...... 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
