Kevin smoked several cigarettes in the corridor just now, trying to figure out what happened earlier. He lit the cigarette and took several puffs, every puff was very heavy. As soon as the cigarette turned into ash, he will light another up. Perhaps he became angry when Karen was not willing to give him an explanation. He was her husband. As long as she explained to him, he would believe whatever she said, but she was reluctant to give him an explanation. What was so great about Charlie Gook? Why was Karen still involved with him after he hurt her so badly? In Kevin's opinion, Charlie was an arrogant and rude guy who came from a filthy rich family. He never took Charlie seriously. He never expects that he would lose to Charlie in Karen's heart. After hearing that Charlie said that he and Karen were childhood sweethearts and that kind of relationship was indeed the purest, but those feelings should be in the past now, shouldn't it? Kevin w
On the weekend, when Kevin was working in the study, Karen was sitting on the balcony reading. Although it seemed very boring, Karen liked this kind of peaceful days very much. Time had passed by peacefully. Today, Kevin suddenly proposed to go for a walk. Was he trying to apologize for what happened last night? Regardless of his intentions, Karen would just assume that he was thinking this way. She forced a smile and said, "I have an appointment with someone at noon. Can I go out with you later?" "Okay." Kevin nodded and did not say anything else. Then he turned to look out of the window. Watching his lonely figure, Karen suddenly can't bear to see him like that and added, "I just need to say a few things to that person. It won't take much time." Karen promised to meet Kristine. The purpose of Karen's meeting with Kristine was to ask about her mother's condition. She didn't want to talk about anything else with Kristine. Kevin turned around an
Charlie had never been scolded like this by his father since he was a child. He was very angry and he blames this on Kevin and Karen. If it weren't for Kevin who was playing tricks behind his back, how is it possible that the Yaleman Family suddenly chose to cooperate with Innovative Tech? Also, he surely will not be embarrassed at the charity banquet of Rovio Incorporation Inc. Charlie clenched his fists and crumpled the newspaper as if that newspaper was Kevin who he wanted to choke to death so badly. "Charlie, what happened?" Actually, Kristine already heard about what happened, but she pretended like she didn't know anything. All men like silly women. So Kristine would try to disguise herself as an obedient and silly woman when she was around Charlie. Charlie was furious, but when he saw Kristine's face, it's like he saw a glimpse of hope again. So he forced a smile and asked, "When are you meeting with Karen?" "Yes, I had already made an a
Karen walked into the restaurant and saw Kristine sitting there daydreaming. They hadn't seen each other for three years, but Kristine's appearance remained the same - soft and weak as if she could be blown away by the wind. Karen walked towards her. When she was still a few steps away, Kristine looked up and smiled. "You are here." "Yes," Karen replied unwillingly. It turned out that she can be so calm when she saw Kristine again, as she had forgotten everything about the past. Kristine said, "I ordered your favorite crab yolk shark fin, fried cucumber, and..." "I've had my lunch. Didn't you say that you want to talk to me about my mother? Just say it." Karen interrupted without mercy. She saw Kristine's disappointed eyes, but she didn't regret it at all. In the past, Kristine knelt on the ground with such a sad look and apologized to her. What for? Things had passed for some time, and Karen did not want to think about it again. But she could
"Don't pretend to be so pitiful in front of me. I'm not a man, and I won't be tricked by you." Looking at Kristine's face, Karen had no pity. Karen paused and said, "Kristine, I just want to tell you that you treat Charlie like some treasure. If you all want to give birth to his child, feel free to do so. Don't make me feel disgusted with this kind of thing. The reason why I promised to see you was that I want to know how my mother is doing." "Mom, she..." Kristine swallowed her words in time. If she told Karen about their mother's situation, Karen would definitely return even if the Beaford City was full of danger. Once Karen returned to Beaford City, their father would try his best to make Karen stay and ask her to be together with Charlie. Thinking of her future, Kristine immediately changed her tone. "Mom has always been very good. This time, she asked me to bring you a message. She told you to listen to Dad's orders." Kristine knew Karen's weakn
Director Kyle was a successful entrepreneur, but he looked like an idiot when it comes to how to make girls happy. The first step was to give the driver and assistant a day off so that Kevin and Karen are left alone. They walked slowly and chatted to improve their relationship. So Kevin sent the driver and assistants away, and then took Karen for a walk, but he did not know what to say. "Do you like it?" Kevin asked. Kevin's tone was full of caution. If Karen said she didn't like it, then he would be clueless on how to make her happy. Karen nodded. "You said it's a place that all girls like. I am a girl, of course, I will like it." After that, she gave him a big smile to show her satisfaction. "Okay." Kevin said lightly, but he knew that Karen's smile was not as sincere as it used to be. Then, he stopped talking and walked forward, holding Karen's hand. "Won't you feel bored going shopping with me?" Since Kevin did not take the init
Alice muttered to herself, "They are wearing the same scarf of a limited-edition brand. Who would believe that they happened to run into each other?" May scratched her head and seemed to understand. Karen quickly ran back to the place where she had just been separated from Kevin. She had never been like this before. She could not wait to see him. When Karen ran to the place where they separated, there was no trace of Kevin. She walked around again but still couldn't find him. Karen was anxious. Then she quickly took out her mobile phone and called Kevin. She heard his low and sexy voice. "What's wrong?" "Where are you? I'm at the place where we separated, but I couldn't find you." Karen said in a hurry. Kevin paused and then asked, "Why are you back?" Karen did not think much and said, "Because I want to go shopping with you." Kevin asked again, "Aren't you afraid of being watched by someone?" Karen pursed her lips and said gently,
Once the big news was announced, their sales department would probably be so busy with work. Karen felt so happy just thinking about it. She fixed her clothes and sat straight, ready to welcome a new job in her best state. Karen was happy, but she did not forget about Kevin. She sent him a message: You've already known that Gook Corp could not play tricks with Innovative Tech at all, but you did not tell me. Her text was a little flirty, but she did not realize it. Soon she received a reply from Kevin: "You should have trusted me." Yes, he told her to trust him earlier. It was just that she trusted too much in the influence of the Gook Corp, but she did not have 100% confidence in Kevin. Karen sent another message: bad guy! Soon, she received another word from Kevin, "Yes." "Hmm?" Kevin's reply made Karen roll her eyes. "What does that mean?" Did he admit that he was a bad guy? "Was he a bad guy who was cold and di
...... 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
