After the call with Nick Black, Kevin Kyle dialed another phone number. The phone was answered quickly, "Director Kevin." "Where is Chace?" Kevin announced the purpose of his call without wasting a second. He was not worried at all when Chace Yaleman sent people to attack him, because those people could not do anything to him at all. If Chace was only dealing with him, he could still play along with Chace. But now he had his family. He not only needed to protect Karen Daly and Little Karen, but he also had to ensure his own safety. He would neither let them worry about him nor see their tears. "Director Kevin, we are already aware of Chace's whereabouts. He arrived in New York the night before. He used his other identity for the passport, that's why the people on Nick's side and the people on our side did not locate him immediately." The person who spoke on the other end was Jeremiah Sam, and he had worked for Kevin for many years. However, after Kev
"How much do you like it?" Director Kevin asked shamelessly. "I like it very much!" Karen Daly answered him, but when she said that, her face turned redder. "Hmm." Karen's answer made Kevin smile with satisfaction and he said, "Good girl!" Good girl! Did he treat her as Little Karen who was fighting with Momo over toys? Karen rolled her eyes at him and turned away. She didn't want him to treat her like a child. Kevin turned her face back and said, "I have to go out to do something. I will be home late today. Stay at home with Baby Karen and wait for me to come back." "You are going out to work?" Karen immediately put on a serious look and continued, "Didn't you say that you have finished your work before the new year?" Kevin smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I just need to do some final tweaks. Don't worry, I'll be back soon." "Then you must drive slowly. Be careful on the road." Speaking of this, Karen looked out of the window
At the first sight of the "Butterfly Love", Karen Daly was attracted by its ingenious design and exquisite workmanship. She was in awe. She remembered that she had amazed everyone in the gown. At the same time, she also remembered that Kevin Kyle had torn the gown apart. She would never forget the horrified look in Ivan's eyes when he saw the "Butterfly Love" in tatters. "Then I'll tell you now, the real creator of the Butterfly Love was me. Ivan only lent his name to the piece." Chace Yaleman said to Karen, enunciating slowly. Although his voice was soft, the magnitude of his words couldn't be ignored. Now, hearing Chace's words, Karen seemed to understand the horrified look in Ivan's eyes when he had seen the Butterfly Love being torn apart. The "treasure" that he had been keeping for his friend was destroyed. It was not fear or anger he felt, but pity. "What does it have to do with me that you are the real creator of the Butterfly Love?" Karen really di
As the main pillar of Rovio, once Kevin Kyle disappeared, no one would be able to stabilize the situation in Rovio. At least for the moment, no one would be able to. The real purpose of kidnapping Karen Daly and Little Karen was to threaten Kevin. If Chace Yaleman had guessed it correctly, Kevin would never refuse his request. Having been observing in secret for so many years, he had already known how important Kevin's wife and daughter were to Kevin. Karen and the child were definitely the two people whom Kevin would protect with his life. Therefore, he had seized Kevin's Achilles heel this time, leaving no room for Kevin to escape. "You want my life?" Kevin sneered and said in a fierce tone, "Well! If you have the ability, I will let you take my life." Just like what Chace had thought, Kevin agreed to Chace's request without hesitation. "Kevin, you really did agree!" Even though he had guessed that Kevin would agree, Chace was still extremely
"Big bad guy! You're a big bad guy!" Little Karen roared angrily. "Don't bully my mother. Don't bully me." After all, she was still too young, and she didn't know how dangerous this man was. Before Karen Daly could steady herself, she turned around and grabbed Little Karen. She held her tightly in her arms and said, "Chace Yaleman, let her go, vent your anger on me instead." Before Little Karen was born, she could not protect her. This time, even if she had to lose her life, she was adamant to protect her daughter. "Ha..." Chace Yaleman smiled and slowly stood up. He looked at the two people on the ground arrogantly. "I have a good idea. Why don't you play an exciting game with me?" Karen held Little Karen tightly and looked at Chace alertly. "What do you want?" She and her child were in Chace's hands, and this person was already crazy. No one would know what kind of crazy things a madman would do. Therefore, she had to think of a way to escape
Kevin Kyle had taken over Rovio at a young age and led Rovio to a new glory. But what about Chace Yaleman? He had yet to enter the core management of the Yaleman Group, and the illegitimate children of his father were still fighting with him for the inheritance. When he was still struggling to find the woman who should be his, Kevin had married this woman a step ahead of him. Now their child was already a few years old. He and Kevin were born into rich and powerful families, but why were their encounters completely different? Was this fate? However, Chace was not a person who believed in fate. He believed that as long as he was willing to work hard, he could also have everything that Kevin had. It was this kind of persistence that made him observe Kevin's every move all these years. His persistence became a mental illness. However, when he had worked so hard for so many years and was getting closer and closer to Kevin. He thought he was a
"Mommy..." Little Karen was afraid that she would be left alone. As soon as Karen Daly turned around, she reached out and grabbed her shirt. "Baby Karen!" Karen held her face and kissed it. "Don't worry. Mommy will be back soon." "I think you want this!" Chace Yaleman's voice came from behind her. Karen looked back and saw the key to the door in his hand. After fleeing for so long, they couldn't even escape from the empty house. They were once again in Chace's hands. Karen wanted to stab him with a knife so badly. Chace dangled the keys in his hand and said with a smile, "I have the keys. Come and get it, then you can open the door and escape." She wasn't that naive. Chace wouldn't really give it to her that easily. She instinctively hid Little Karen behind her. "Come on, come and get it. I saw you running very fast just now." Chace slowly approached her. "Where is your bravery? Didn't you hit my head just now? Show me that you are not fully in
For Little Karen, her father had descended from the sky. He had come down from the roof of the building hanging on some ropes. To her, he was like Superman. When she and her mother needed him, he descended from the sky like a superhero. The spacious building was an abandoned corrugated iron warehouse. The walls and the roof of the house were made of corrugated iron sheets. The soundproofing was very poor, yet it was very solid. If it was touched, it would make a loud sound. It had been a few minutes since Kevin arrived, but the only door of the room was locked from the inside. He didn't know what was going on inside, so he didn't dare to break in. So he asked his men to check out the situation and found that there was a hole on the roof. He immediately decided to hang onto a rope and slide down. He dealt with Chace Yaleman and saved Karen and his daughter. "Daddy!" She saw her father and ran towards him on her small legs, without another care in the world.
...... 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
