Mia Kyle had never been bullied this way before. She seized the opportunity to grab hold of Neil Brown's neck and bit him back in a more aggressive way. She bit his lower lips so hard that she could taste blood, then she let go. Mia Kyle wiped her blood-stained lips and said, "Bastard, do you think you can bully me?" Under her fierce gaze, Neil Brown touched his bloodied lips with his fingers. He suddenly smiled. "Well, I could bite you more." "Pervert!" Mia Kyle gritted her teeth and glared at him. She pulled up the quilt and wrapped herself under the quilt without looking at him. Neil Brown pulled her quilt away and said, "Mia—" Mia Kyle raised her foot and kicked him away, "Get out of here!" Neil Brown grabbed her foot and asked, "Are you trying to test my limits?" Mia Kyle tried hard to retract her foot, but Neil Brown's strength was so strong that she couldn't fight back. Instead, she felt that some of her wounds have been stretched.
"Didn't you say that you loved Kevin very much? Didn't you say that you are willing to do anything for him?" Amelia Gray stared at Karen Daly and moved closer to her. "Karen, this is the time to test your love for him." Karen Daly stood straight and let out a subtle smile. She continued to look at Amelia Gray. No matter what Amelia said, Karen just ignored her. Karen Daly didn't show any reactions or expressions so Amelia Gray couldn't figure out what she was thinking. After a pause, Amelia added, "That is Kevin's only chance to regain his vision. The opportunity is right in front of you and this depends on you. You won't be turning this down for the sake of your own interests, will you?" George Ken glanced at Karen Daly and responded to Amelia Gray, "Amelia, don't try to provoke her. It's useless." "Hehe... You brought along an assistant..." Amelia Gray looked at Karen Daly sharply and sneered, "Yes, as soon as you leave Kevin Kyle, and when his eyes recover, h
She wanted to be by Kevin Kyle's side forever. She wanted to continue to work with him in his business empire, or even just listen to him talk about his life experiences. She had planned to grow old with him. Her wish was supposed to come true, but now that she had betrayed him, there was no way she could stay by his side. She wanted the best for him, but why did she betray him? Perhaps she had followed through with Warren Silas' orders, because her disappointing husband kept asking for more money, and coincidentally, Karen Daly, who had "died", had come back. In order to find Karen Daly, Kevin Kyle was going crazy... For Karen Daly, he sacrificed so much in his life. The comparison between how Kevin Kyle's sacrificed everything for his wife, against how her own useless husbands treated her, brought a sense of injustice in her heart. Oh, Kevin Kyle! That was the man who was as perfect as God in her heart. She watched him grow so much, but she n
On the way home, Karen Daly had been thinking about the letters on the mug, but she couldn't come up with any clues. In the end, she decided to ask for Kevin Kyle's help. Kevin was really smart and had solved the impossible before. She would just ask him to solve the mystery for her, but she would not say that it was Amelia Gray's prescription for the cure. That way, he wouldn't be disappointed if he couldn't solve it. After sending George Ken home, Karen Daly drove back to Secret Garden. Kevin Kyle called her before she could reach home. Karen Daly did not drive often, so she was not very skilled at driving. Whenever she was driving, she couldn't be distracted. She was almost home, hence she did not pick up Kevin's phone call. She didn't answer the call the first time. Kevin Kyle called again and again, and at the fourth call, Karen's car had arrived at the entrance of the house. She handed the car to the security guard. When she was about to answer
Karen Daly bit her lips hard to distract her from her emotional pain. "Karen?" Kevin Kyle held her trembling shoulder and asked, "What happened? Tell me, I can handle it." "Why am I so useless? Why can't I even do just one thing right? Why can't I help you when you are hurt?" Karen Daly was beating herself up for failing at this task. Kevin Kyle held Karen Daly in his arms and patted her back gently. He comforted her and said, "Karen, don't worry. Share your concerns with me." Perhaps they had misunderstood each other earlier. Karen Daly asked again tearfully, "Kevin, is there any other meaning from the letters on the mug?" Kevin Kyle said, "Describe it to me again. I'll use another method to see if I can interpret another meaning." Substitution cipher was one of the methods to decipher codes in cryptography. There were also several types for substitution cipher which consist of simple substitution, homophonic substitution, polygram substitutio
Kevin Kyle wanted to give Karen Daly an earful, but when he carried Karen back to the room, he became less angry. When he heard Karen Daly's helpless whine, he knew that she deliberately provoked him earlier, but he was so angry that he lost his cool. "Karen..." He called her name out and reached out to touch her, but was pushed away by her. "I don't want to talk to you, don't touch me!" Karen Daly turned her head away. Kevin Kyle shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll send someone to get the clues left by Amelia. You just need to stay at home." "I'm going to find it myself." That might be the only chance for Kevin Kyle to regain his eyesight. Karen Daly wouldn't feel at ease to let anyone else do it. "I have already asked Nick to arrange for someone to do this. After finding the antidote, I will give it to the doctor first." Kevin Kyle had always trusted those who worked for him. After all, only a few people like Amelia Gray would betray him.
Karen Daly's mind was not focused on the kidnappers who kidnapped Mia Kyle. What she cared about most was the antidote handed over by Amelia Gray. After receiving the prescription, the doctor called her in and explained it. There were a total of 21 ingredients in it, two of which were highly toxic drugs that could kill a person in a few seconds. The two highly toxic ingredients would react with the other medication and thus causing a chemical action that could dissolve the remaining toxicity in his body, but it could also cause harm. Every medicine had its side effects. They had to test the drug a few times before they could allow Kevin Kyle to take it. As soon as she came out of the doctor's lab, her phone rang. She took it out and looked at it. It was yet another unknown number. Seeing the display on the screen of the mobile phone, Karen Daly's heart skipped a beat. Her hand holding the phone trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and answered, "Hello
Karen Daly said in a gentle voice, "You're quiet because you know that our child is more important than your work. Promise me you'll rest more, alright?" Kevin Kyle chuckled, "Little Karen only has Brother Lionel in her heart now. She ignores me now!" When Little Karen got older, he must find a way to kick Lionel out. He would not allow other men to stay in his daughter's heart. Of course, this playful idea was only in Kevin Kyle's mind. He must not tell Karen Daly about it. Otherwise, she would certainly not agree. Karen Daly smiled and said, "Since Lionel loves her very much, obviously she would always be close to him. As a father, you should know better how this works. Otherwise, your daughter would be spoiled by others and run off with them in the future." Kevin Kyle's face turned gloomy, "If anyone takes my daughter away, I'll break his legs." Karen Daly rolled her eyes and said, "Daddy, please mind your words." His daughter would grow up
...... 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
