Nathaniel Cooper did not answer. Kevin Kyle added, "My daughter has always been a treasure in our family ever since she was young and she was never once mistreated or hurt before. Besides not letting her down, you need to hold her in your arms and care for her like we always do." This was the first time that Kevin spoke so much to an outsider, and it was not even related to work. Although he knew that he was being a little demanding to request that Nathaniel treated Karen Joy like how their family did, Kevin would never hand his daughter over if he couldn't achieve this. Nathaniel knew what Kevin wanted very well, but he couldn't say anything nice to him, so he only kept silent. He knew very well that in his life, besides being loyal to Karen Joy, he needed to provide her the care and freedom of a princess. He had to be her strongest support so that she would be as happy as she used to be when she was a child. Since Nathaniel said nothing, Kevin was
"Karen, come into the car with me first." Upon seeing his daughter cry, Kevin Kyle's heartfelt as though someone was stabbing it mercilessly. He felt that he was suffocating. "Dad, I know that you did this because you love me, you don't want to see me hurt. But I am already 18 years old, and I am an adult. I know what I am doing." Karen Joy Kyle bit her lip and added, "Brother Lionel is the person I chose. I trust him, so please trust me, okay?" Karen Joy spoke very gently as if she was begging her father, and yet you could hear a hint of pain and desperation in her voice. Brother Lionel was the person she chose to like and trust. She also hoped that her family could trust him as she did. Just now, she eavesdropped on their conversation and heard Brother Lionel addressed her father as Mr Kyle instead of a casual Uncle Kyle like he did when he first greeted him. She also saw the desolate expression on Brother Lionel's face after being satirized when he walked out
"Young Master Kyle, I have something very important to talk to you about. I wonder if you can meet me in person?" After returning to the room, Jayden Elias Kyle received a short message from an unknown phone number. He hadn't been in Country A for too long, and only a few people knew him. Only a few people knew his phone number and knew who he was. Who could be the person and why did he send him the message so late at night? What did he want to do? Just as Jayden was deep in thought, his phone received another message. It read, "Young Master Kyle, if you are interested, you can find me at No. 28 Coast City Ocean Road. I will be waiting for you whenever you're ready." Jayden was very curious. Jayden sneered and thought, "No matter who this was, I might go and have a look." He turned around, picked up his coat, and left. Anyway, it was bound to be another sleepless night tonight. He decided that he rather spend his time to meet this mysterious man inst
Julien Glover Kyle did not want to argue anymore. Did his sister want him to thank her for leaving disgusting saliva marks all over his face? "Little precious, lighten up. I kissed you. Shouldn't you be touched and honored?" As if she had seen through Julien's thoughts, Karen Joy Kyle blinked her eyes and said slyly. Julien still did not answer. It appeared his hypothesis was right. His Little Aunt was a proud and arrogant woman, and his sister seemed to be the same. Did his family only raise this sort of woman? Karen Joy came close to him and asked, "Little precious, it's your first time in Coast City, isn't it? I'll take you out to play today, okay?" "No!" Julien rejected straightforwardly. "Little precious, I sincerely just want to bring you out today. Why don't you want to go?" Karen Joy would never give up until she took little precious out for a walk. Julien said with a serious expression, "I want to study." Karen Joy pi
"Baby, of course I trust you." Karen Daly patted Karen Joy Kyle's back lightly and comforted her. "As long as it's the road you choose, just go ahead boldly. Your father, your grandparents, our little precious and your big brother will support you regardless." "Thank you, Mom!" Thanks to her mother's support, she could embark on the journey to search for Brother Lionel without any hesitation. "Silly child, don't forget that you are our baby. If you're happy, we will be happy too." Karen held Karen Joy's face and gently stroked it. This might be the voice of every parent who loved their children. They worked hard to raise their children, and they did not ask for anything in return. As long as the children were happy, it would be the best gift for their parents. "Okay, I won't forget that." Karen Joy's face broke into a bright smile. "Mom, I will definitely make myself happy." Karen smiled softly and said, "That's right. Go and wash up. Everyone is waiting f
"You want to work for me? What would you do?" This man looked like he was not much older than she was. She wondered why her father arranged for him to work for her. "I..." The man blushed and touched his head awkwardly. It was really hard to answer this question. "Alright, what about you? You two look so alike. You must be twins." Karen Joy turned to ask the other man. The other man stepped forward and answered respectfully, "Miss, my name is Brock White. I'll work for you in the future too. Blake and I are twins." He pointed to the woman next to him and said, "This is our mother." "Ah, thank you then. But..." Karen Joy Kyle looked at Kevin Kyle, "Dad, but I don't need the help." She was here for Brother Lionel, not for war. Why would she need so many people to help her? "The family of three lives in Coast City. You can look for them when you need them." This family consisted of people Kevin trusted very much. Since he could not be around his daughte
"Karen, please ask the driver to stop the car." As he saw her cry, Nathaniel Cooper instinctively wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but he couldn't. He felt helpless. "Excuse me, could you please stop the car in front? I'll get out of the car here," Karen Joy Kyle said eagerly. She wanted to throw herself into Brother Lionel's arms. She really wanted to. She couldn't wait any longer. The driver quickly pulled over and Karen Joy got off the car happily. Brother Lionel's car stopped behind her taxi. She quickly got into his car and threw herself into his arms, "Brother Lionel!" It was so good to have Brother Lionel by her side. The panic she had just experienced from the incident with Jayden Elias Kyle earlier dissipated completely at that moment. She had always known that Brother Lionel would give her a strong sense of security. "Karen, don't be afraid!" Just like before, Nathaniel patted her on the back and comforted her softly. "Brother Lionel,
"But... okay!" Karen Joy Kyle did not want to make things difficult for Brother Lionel. If he asked her to go back first, she should abide. As the President of the country, Brother Lionel was guarded and watched by so many people, so he would not be in trouble. There was nothing she could do to help him. It was better to leave early and not let him worry about her. "Miss Kyle, this way please!" Zuriel Perth stepped back and spoke to her respectfully. Karen Joy glanced at Nathaniel Cooper and wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words back. Then she turned around and left with Zuriel. "Karen..." Just as she was about to walk to the door, she heard Brother Lionel's voice. Karen Joy was suddenly delighted as she turned her head to look at him with a smile. "Brother Lionel, you don't want me to leave?" "I just want to say that I will be fine. Don't worry!" Nathaniel assured. She hadn't left yet but he already began to miss her. He wanted
...... 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
