A cargo ship that traveled from Chatterton Town to Country A fought with the wind and waves on the sea and moved at a fast speed. In the innermost side of the cargo ship, there was a small room for the crew to rest in. The room was not big, and it was full of storage items, which made it even more crowded. If two burly men walked in the room they would not be able to even turn around. One could imagine how small the room was. At this time, the room was filled with the smell of medicine, and a lot of blood-stained medical gauze and bandages were scattered on the ground. Master Perth stood in front of the small bed. He stared at the big boy lying on the bed and said angrily, "Look at you! Still thinking about going back? Do you want to die?" Lionel's abdomen was covered with gauze and the wounds had been treated, but he was still very weak. He barely had any energy to speak. He had already put up his requirements and did not intend to pay any attention
Now, Neil Brown had also found out that he was playing tricks behind his back. His identity had been exposed. In the future, he would need to deal with both Kevin Kyle and Neil. Kevin alone was difficult to deal with. Now with the addition of Neil, how could he succeed? Mr. Wilis felt so frustrated and held his forehead. He was so angry that he took his cup and threw it out. He scolded, "You are all good-for-nothing!" "Why are you so angry with them?" Kristine Daly opened the door and came in. She put another cup on Mr. Wilis' desk and said, "I made a cup of soothing tea for you. It'll help." "Kristine—" Mr. Wilis grabbed her and pressed her on the desk. He gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you a b*tch? How can you act aloof with me?" "Director Wilis, you are too angry. I specially brewed this cup of tea to help you." Kristine looked at him and said calmly. She did not take Mr. Willis' anger personally at all and did not get annoyed at him. She kne
Mr. Wilis also admitted that his plan could be successful because Herbert Ken played a vital role, but Herbert would never help to get rid of his own son-in-law, Kevin Kyle. After getting along with Mr. Wilis for several years, Kristine Daly understood his character very clearly. Looking at his eyes, she could probably guess what he was worried about. Kristine looked at him and said, "This time, he didn't help you lead Kevin to the island. But how did you use him to lure Kevin to the island? As long as he is alive, as long as he doesn't want to face his children, then he will be the most useful tool for us to deal with Kevin." Mr. Wilis raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you mean that I should get him back?" Kristine shook her head and said, "No, you don't have to get him back. As long as you know his whereabouts, but you don't contact him, you can ensure that Kevin and Neil's people won't find him too." After listening to Kristine's words, Mr. Wilis'
Little Karen was in Karen Daly's arms. She hugged her tightly, but she felt that her daughter's heart was still far away from her. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, in Little Karen's mind, she could not become the most important figure in her heart. She and Lionel appeared in Little Karen's life at about the same time. Why was it so easy for Lionel to get so close with Little Karen, but she, as a mother, couldn't? Was it because she was in a way, a replacement for her mother? If she came to Little Karen as a sister or someone else and did not take up the position of 'mother' in her mind, would Little Karen be more accepting of her? It was not that Little Karen did not like her, but perhaps she just couldn't accept the idea of having a mother by her side, hence she was being cautious. Just as Karen was deep in thought, Mia Kyle rushed in with a bowl of strawberry puree in her hands and said, "Little Karen, look what I made you." "Okay
Didn't they agree that they should not hide anything from each other anymore? What was going on now? "Karen, trust me that I can handle it well." Kevin Kyle looked at Karen Daly as he spoke seriously, yet gently. His look was tender and kind, and Karen felt defenseless. He was right. Since he said he could handle it well, she might be adding burden to him if she stepped in. She would reluctantly listen to him then. She didn't want to care about the Mystery Person, but she still had to care about her daughter. Karen said, "Little Karen falling sick this time was largely because of her Brother Lionel. I think she would not forget him easily." Kevin added, "She is still young, and she will forget her Brother Lionel soon." "I don't think so. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so sick so badly this time." Karen had a different opinion from Kevin. Kevin hugged her and said, "Maybe she will remember him for some time, but so what? After a longer time, s
"Hurry up!" Mia Kyle couldn't wait to have a try at his new "tricks". She was about to take off all of Neil Brown's clothes. She unbuttoned his shirt, but Neil grabbed her hand. He bit her hard and said, "Little wild cat, hold on. Wait for me to take a bath, and we'll start." "Why should you take a bath? I can't wait any longer!" Mia was salivating and she was getting impatient. "Mia, come on, have some dignity." Almost immediately after, Neil turned around and strode to the bathroom with Mia in his arms. "If you can't wait any longer, let's start now then." In the bathroom, there was the sound of running water, the sound of banging, knocking, hitting... How loud and passionate they were. They didn't know how long it took, but the moment they heard the loud bang of the door, everything calmed down after. "Hooligan!" It was not Mia who scolded him, but instead, it was Neil. All the scratches on his body were left behind by Mia. It was not
Mia Kyle said, " Neil, what an odd fetish you have!" If he said that she was a dog, then he slept with a dog for the whole night. What weird fetish was that? Mia rolled her eyes at Neil and thought, "I really dislike him." Neil held Mia tightly and slapped her on her butt. "Mia, you deserve to be beaten!" "F*ck! How can you hit me!" Mia had never been a person who was willing to suffer losses. She was so angry that she pushed, kicked, and even pinched him. Mia was always the one calling the shots. Now, Neil slapped her out of nowhere, so she was annoyed. But this time, Neil didn't give in to her again. He locked Mia's legs with his long legs and held her hands down firmly. No matter how hard Mia struggled, she couldn't hurt him. Mia was so frustrated that she shouted, "Neil, you bastard, how dare you bully me? Do you think it's easy to bully me?" Neil smiled happily. He rubbed her head and said, "Don't make a fuss, Mia. Save your energy.
"Because there are too many uncontrollable factors to consider. I have to think about them one by one." Kevin Kyle answered seriously. "I'm just joking with you. Why are you so serious?" Karen Daly glanced at him and smiled. "Let's get up. There are still a lot of things to do today." "Karen—" Kevin called Karen's name. He wanted to say something but stopped speaking. "What's wrong?" Karen looked back at him. After a moment of silence, Kevin said seriously again, "I'm serious about every word I've said to you." Every word was true. ...... Last night, the whole family went back to their rooms early to rest. There was nothing to worry about so they slept well. They got up early too. Sarrabelle requested for the helpers to prepare some luxurious breakfast, which looked so appetizing that it got everyone salivating. When Mama Kyle came back from her morning exercise routine, she helped to prepare the breakfast too for everyone at home.
...... 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
