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
Now Karen finally understood why Kevin often spoke in foreign languages when he worked, because he came from Rovio Corporation Inc. To have Rovio Corporation Inc appoint Kevin as the president of Innovative Tech, his strength must be affirmed. Moreover, observing Kevin's work over the past few days, he was indeed extraordinary. Karen fixed her eyes on Kevin's face as she was thinking. He always wore a pair of gold-framed glasses. He rarely took them off unless he was going to bed. He looked mature, yet, reserved wearing glasses. Without glasses, he looked gentler. However, whether he wore glasses or not, it could not cover up his elegance and his good looking face. Suddenly, Karen thought of a joke that was popular on the Internet. The man with glasses looked gentle and refined, but in fact, he was a "beast in disguise". Karen thought of what happened on the day of the charity party. That day, Kevin made her scared, and he was really a little "
Nick had been with Kevin for more than ten years. When he needed to enter Kevin's office, he would not have to wait for Kevin's permission after knocking on the door. Over the years, he never had the chance to see Kevin getting distracted. He never thought that he would see such an awkward scene in Kevin's office. Although he had never seen such a scene, Nick reacted very quickly since he had been with Kevin for so many years. "It's fine." Nick quickly closed the door and ran away. If he dared to say that he saw something, their chairman would definitely think of a way to kill him afterward. Their president looked noble and elegant, but he could be so cruel that it would make people shiver. Others didn't know about it, but they had been with him for more than a decade, so how would they not know. "What's wrong?" Amelia said behind Nick. "I think I will die soon." Nick said in a scared tone. Thinking back to the scary looks of the pr
As he saw that Karen was becoming more awkward and angrier, Kevin let out a soft laughter. Karen, "..." Was he laughing at her? Although she was a little angry with him, she had to admit that this man was very handsome especially when he smiled. But she didn't want anyone to see this. Just as Karen was about to overthink, Kevin turned off his phone and walked towards her. He raised his hand and patted her head gently. "Can we go home?" What did he mean? The meaning of this sentence was very simple. It was a literal meaning for them to go home together. If it is connected with the phrase "Don't be here", then the meaning in it is very ambiguous. Karen glared at him angrily. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush." Kevin raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about?" Karen saw his sincere eyes which made her realize that he was simply requesting to go home. She was the one who thought
Before returning home, Kevin accompanied Karen to the supermarket and they bought some meat and vegetables for lunch. There was a stall in front of the supermarket that sells fried chestnuts. Karen liked it very much. Every time she came to the supermarket, she would definitely buy some. The one who sold the chestnuts was a middle-aged woman. She was very friendly and had a loud voice. She knew Karen very well since she came here many times. The woman asked while packing Karen's food, "Sweetie, is that your boyfriend or your husband behind you?" Women liked to gossip, especially when they saw a lovely pair of couple. They were curious. After she heard the question, Karen looked at Kevin. Whenever she buys something, he would wait for her and helped to carry a lot of things without any signs of impatience. She looked back at the aunt and smiled. "He is my husband." As soon as she said this, Karen suddenly felt as if she had the whole world
Ivan did not give Karen any chance to interrupt, he continued to say, "Kevin and I were friends for many years. He took away all the dresses that I wanted to give to my 'wife' in the future, but he did not show any signs of gratitude. He was really not lovable at all, not lovable at all. Julie, what are you still doing there? Get in the car and leave." "Mr. Ivan, please wait for a minute." Karen stopped Ivan and told him that she modified his dress. Before she could even finish her words, his face changed dramatically. He looked at the gown and said angrily, "Who said that you can touch my dress?" The person who was smiling earlier suddenly changed his attitude. Karen became scared and took a step back. But when she remembered that she had done something wrong, she stood there and waited for Ivan's reaction. But when he saw how Karen modified the dress, his face changed from angry to happy, and then from happy to sad. After a long time, he said, "Mrs. Kyle
All kinds of looks, voices, and gestures... The scene seemed to have returned to three years ago. Curses and accusations could be heard. Those who had nothing to do with her, and those who did not know the truth, just listened to the rumors and started to scold. Those people thought that they were so much better and judged others, but they didn't know that their actions were hurting others. The screen was still showing the very unpleasant past of Karen. Hundreds of staff in the company were all looking at Karen. She had once again become the target of public criticism. "The leopard cannot change its spots. It was a known fact that President Kyle has a wife, but she can still do such a thing." Finally, someone broke the silence, and the discussion started pouring. "You can't judge a book by its cover." "Yes, yes, yes, she looked like a decent girl, but she turned out to be that kind of person." "President Kyle most probab
...... 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
