Papa Kyle ate the dishes and commented on the food too, "Yes, it's delicious. Next time, we're definitely coming here again with your mother, brother, Karen, and Little Karen. They need to try this too." Papa Kyle took Mia Kyle's favorite croissant and placed it on her plate, "Your mother and I will move back to Chatterton Town and we definitely would enjoy the life here." Papa Kyle did not realize that Mia Kyle felt awkward for a moment. Papa Kyle never saw Mia Kyle as anyone different besides being a child in his own family, so when he planned his future, Mia Kyle was included too. Mia Kyle heard Papa Kyle mention about the family and felt sad. She would never have the chance to eat with the Kyle family in the future anymore. Papa Kyle noticed her change of expression. He put down his cutleries and said worriedly, "Mia, let's eat first. We can worry about other matters later. Look at you, your mother will not be able to recognize you anymore if you keep
Neil Brown rushed towards Warren Silas's room at lightning speed while various possibilities of Warren Silas' death flashed through his mind. If Warren Silas did not commit suicide, who could have killed him in Chatterton Town's military region? Security was tight, and he had surveillance cameras everywhere. There weren't any clues. When Neil Brown arrived at Warren Silas' room, Mia Kyle was still standing by the door, looking petrified. Mia Kyle gave out a heart-wrenching scream when she first saw Warren Silas body, then she stared blankly at his lifeless figure on the ground. She was terrified and stunned. Her face looked pale cold sweat was dripping down her forehead. She was also trembling... Neil Brown looked at Mia Kyle first. He pulled her into his arms, and patted her back, "Don't be afraid!" Mia Kyle couldn't hear what Neil Brown said. She couldn't even feel him pulling her into his arms. Her eyes were just fixated on Warren Silas. Nei
"Grandpa, I shouldn't have said those unfilial words to you. I will never say it again. Please wake up. I just want to see you alive." Mia Kyle cried out. "Grandpa..." Mia Kyle continued calling out for her beloved grandfather. No matter what she said, her grandfather did not respond. She told him that she didn't want to see him anymore. So he left her to a place she could never find him, thus leaving her alone in Chatterton Town. Now she's left alone in this world. Neil Brown could understand Mia Kyle's pain. A beloved grandfather who spoiled her endlessly and was so kind and gentle with her, had suddenly turned into a villain out of the blue. She couldn't accept the fact that he was a villain, so she became protective of herself and pretended that nothing happened. However, when she was ready to face the cold hard truth courageously, her grandfather died. She wasn't mentally prepared for this. Many people hoped for Warren Silas' death, but not Mia
Warren Silas died abruptly, and the cause of his death was mystifying. It seemed like he died of intense shock, but the forensic experts needed more evidence to prove it. After the preliminary investigations, the forensic experts brought Warren Silas' body away for further investigation. The inspection team did not find any useful clues in the room after a detailed investigation at the scene. The lead of the investigation team reported to Neil Brown, "Captain, we did not find any evidence of murder or foul play in the jail cell." If there were no signs of murder, it could have only been a natural death or an accident. Neil Brown had already ruled out the possibility of suicide. Could it be an innocent accident then? It would be too coincidental if it was really an accident. It happened a few minutes before Mia Kyle arrived at the jail cell to visit Warren Silas. Neil Brown frowned and said sternly, "Investigate all the jail cells today. Check e
Kevin Kyle thought that he could finally be in peace after Warren Silas and his comrades were caught, and he could finally live a blissful life with both his Karens. He did not expect that there was another mysterious killer behind Warren Silas' death. The mysterious killer was capable of murdering Warren Silas in the military region of Chatterton Town without leaving any clue. No clues that could possibly be traced back to them. The fact that the mysterious killer could murder a person in the military region of Chatterton Town under the watchful eyes of Neil Brown quietly was concerning. Was the mysterious killer from Country A or Chatterton Town? If the killer was one of the soldiers from Country A, it was impressive that they managed to sneak into the military region to murder Warren Silas. It seemed like they would have needed to observe the area for a few years. Perhaps they were observing the movements of Neil Brown at all times. If the k
Neil Brown squinted his eyes and said, "In this case of murder, there are two key points to note. The first being the mysterious figure Warren Silas saw before his death, and the other being the DSQ drug. Hand over the evidence to the investigation team." This DSQ drug should be easy to track. However, there were so many people in the military region of Chatterton Town. It would take a lot of effort to identify the mole amongst the crowd. The forensic doctor immediately said, "Captain, the report from our team has been prepared. We'll hand it over in a while." "Okay." Neil Brown answered briefly, then turned around and left. "Wait a minute, Neil." An attentive Mia Kyle stopped him in time and said, "Would that mysterious figure be a person whom Grandpa thought has already died?" Although Warren Silas was her own grandfather, Mia Kyle acknowledged what he had done before and the harm he caused. For a person like Warren Silas who had done so many bad t
Karen Daly rolled her eyes at Kevin Kyle. "Bastard, I would be going through the pain, not you. I'm not even worried about the pain so what are you worrying about?" She thought silently. Little Karen was concentrating on eating her strawberries when she suddenly heard about little siblings. Auntie Lynn's words rang in her ears again. "Daddy and your new mommy won't love you anymore when they have a younger baby boy..." As she remembered, she felt sad again. She raised her head with her small mouth pouted, looking as if she wanted to cry. "I don't want a brother." Karen Daly took Little Karen into her arms, and kissed her to comfort her, "Baby, there wouldn't be any younger brother." In the past, Little Karen was so afraid that if she has a little brother, daddy wouldn't want her anymore. She cried loudly and even threw a tantrum towards her mom. Karen Daly remembered that moment and her heart ached for Little Karen too. It was a pity that she wasn't
After dinner, Kevin Kyle went to his study room alone as he had some affairs to deal with. Karen Daly was worried, but she couldn't monitor him constantly. She went to the bedroom with Little Karen instead. Today, the family had a discussion to host a birthday party for Little Karen on the 28th. They would invite all their relatives over to their house for a gathering. The purpose was to let everyone know that Kevin Kyle's wife, Karen Daly had come back, and also to tell everyone about what happened to Grandpa Kyle. When Little Karen heard that the family was going to plan a birthday party for her, she was so excited that she asked her Brother Lionel to carry her and run around the yard. Lionel treated Little Karen really well. No matter what she asked from him, he would play along willingly. Little Karen did not have siblings. Kevin Kyle and Karen Daly would eventually get old. If Little Karen had a big brother like Lionel by her side, Karen Daly fe
...... 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
