After witnessing their fellow comrade being shot, everyone panicked while they tried very hard to maintain their cool. They didn't know where the person was hiding. However, after calming down, they guessed that the person was hiding under the cliff. There were only two ways to kill Kevin Kyle. The first way was to head down the cliff and face him directly. They had done this earlier and lost a member, as Kevin was ready to ambush them. This seemed to have a low chance of success. Another way was to attract Kevin's attention and lure him up, but Kevin was not stupid. He knew that he would die if he came out, so he would just stay put. Kevin wouldn't come out and they didn't know how to lure him out too. At the moment, they didn't know what to do. The group of people were all outlaws. They were good at fighting and killing, but they were not good at devising an ambush strategy. After all, they only listened to other people's orders, and they never nee
The leader seemed satisfied with his way of scaring the men, so he pointed at another person and said, "You go next. If you dare to jump down on your own, don't blame me for being merciless." If the person who was sent down did not get shot by Kevin Kyle and did not waste any of his bullets, then their efforts would be futile. Therefore, the leader would not tolerate anyone for jumping down to the sea instead. They would die either way. The person who was chosen gritted his teeth and walked over like a dead man. Similarly, when he gradually went down the cliff, he saw Kevin, who was still wearing a faint smile on his face. Kevin's expression seemed to be very friendly, but the rascal could only feel chills running down his spine. This man really looked scary. Kevin didn't do anything, but it still made him feel terrified, as if he had already fallen prey to him. Kevin still didn't fire his shot. Instead, he pointed at the edge of the cliff with his g
Right at that moment, there was a rumbling sound in the sky. Several helicopters were hovering in the air. Kevin Kyle saw the signal flashing on the helicopter, which was the secret signal for the internal members of Rovio to contact each other when they were in danger. He knew that his reinforcements had arrived. His people had arrived, but Kevin still did not let his guard down. He had always been cautious, which was evident by how he checked through Karen Daly's background and history thoroughly when first they got married. The only time he was not cautious was this time. Some false information and clues were deliberately planted, so he had believed that the perpetrator was Karen's biological father who had passed away many years ago. Kevin helped Karen up and he checked the wound on her ankle. The wound seemed a little swollen, probably due to the exposure to seawater. Otherwise, she seemed fine. "I'm fine." After the venom had been sucked out by Kevin
Kevin Kyle said seriously, "Since you are here, you must have found out who is behind this." Neil Brown sneered and said, "Mia almost lost her life, and the incident almost destroyed her playful personality. Don't you think I would want to find out?" Since the Mystery Person matter was related to Karen Daly, the person could confuse Kevin, but it was definitely not so easy to fool Neil. Perhaps the Mystery Person dared to take such a dangerous step because he expected Kevin to stop Neil's men from advancing. As long as there was an internal conflict, Neil wouldn't be able to find him so quickly. But they missed one thing. Neil was the type of person who would never give up easily. And the most important thing was that the Mystery Person had hurt Mia Kyle. When Kevin's people stopped Neil from investigating further, he'd already guessed that there was something fishy in this matter. As long as there was something fishy going on, he would not let it go
"Don't you always say that you are my husband?" He was her husband. She certainly would support him without hesitation or any conditions. "Okay." Kevin Kyle was very satisfied with Karen Daly's answer. He held Karen's face and kissed her hard. It was also the first time he had done such intimate things with Karen in front of others. Looking at their public display of affection, Neil was very unhappy. "It's more important to deal with serious matters now. You two can save it for later tonight, OK?" He was no longer an old bachelor now, as he had gotten intimate with Mia Kyle. Seeing how intimate they were in front of him, he wished he could just leave all the work in his hand and go home to Mia. But it was not the right time. Hence, he just wanted to stop them so he would not be reminded of love. They could do whatever they wanted when they got home. Kevin let go of Karen and glanced at Neil fiercely, warning him not to talk nonsense anymore. He was t
It was Kevin Kyle who made her understand that she was not unwanted. She was unique and she could not be replaced by anyone else. It was also Kevin who let her know that there was also someone in the world who was willing to treasure her. "You idiot!" Kevin lowered his head and said softly. It was actually his blessing to have met such a fool like her. She was his most precious fortune in this life. "You're the silly one," Karen refuted playfully as she treated the last wound on his body. Then, she stopped and asked, "Why don't you move a little and see if it still hurts?" "It doesn't hurt!" With her around, he felt warmth in his heart. How else would it hurt? "How is it possible that it doesn't hurt?" He was pretending again. No matter what he encountered, he would always put a fort up and not share the truth with her. He was a still human being, not a man made of steel. How could he not feel pain? Looking at Karen's worried eyes, Kevin
He concealed his identity, gave up the fight for power, and gave up his comfortable life. He chose to stay by Little Karen's side and become her most loyal guardian. A few months ago, Lionel would never have such a thought. Now, he had gone through with these drastic changes and realized his thoughts. Two days ago, Zuriel Perth had called him and urged him to return to Country A. He told him that his two brothers have had a fierce fight. The current situation in Country A was tense. The president and his wife were looking forward to his return. He didn't have any trusted assistants with him while abroad, so it was easy for him to fall prey to the fight between his two brothers. He knew that if he stayed in Chatterton Town any longer, his life would be at higher risk, but Lionel was still unwilling to leave. He would rather face these risks than leave Little Karen behind. When he thought about Little Karen crying if he left, and how they could not spend the
Even after all the hustling and running, the little girl did not wake up at all. She definitely wasn't still sleeping, the two kidnappers must have drugged her when they took her away. D*mn it! Lionel cursed in his heart, but the anger in his chest rose rapidly. These beasts had the courage to drug such a young kid. He must skin them alive! Lionel was so angry it interrupted his train of thoughts. If those people did drug Little Karen, he would make them pay even more. He shifted his gaze from Little Karen to the kidnapper. He glared at him with the sharpness of an arrow that had escaped its bow. After Lionel found the right timing, he pounced onto the kidnapper and grabbed his foot. The kidnapper lost his balance and fell down. Little Karen fell to the ground too. Lionel reacted quickly and rushed towards Little Karen. Thankfully, he was fast enough and caught the little girl just in time before she fell to the ground. Lionel breathed a
...... 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
