Did she really give up so easily? She didn't want to give him any more time? Nathaniel subconsciously clenched the document in his hand so tight that the document was almost crushed. His face turned gloomy and he looked like a demon from hell. "Mr. President..." Jason Lesley called out to him nervously. The President was so scary that he wanted to turn around and run away, but he didn't dare to. "If she wants to leave, then let her. Don't tell me these things." It took a long time for Nathaniel to reply with such a cold sentence. "Okay... Then I'll let the people in New York watch her. I will ask them to let us know when Miss Kyle reaches home safely." Jason knew too well about Nathaniel's intentions for Karen Joy. It was impossible for him to ignore the little girl completely. Since Nathaniel did not speak again, that meant that he agreed. Jason understood his thoughts. "Mr. President, I'll inform the staff in New York immediately.
Jayden Elias Kyle liked to nag in her ear all day long. He always dictated what she could or could not do, and always bothered her in all her affairs, as if he was her personal housekeeper. Karen Joy tried hard to think of an attractive trait Jayden had. Why would these girls fall for him? She thought that she was a good judge of character, or maybe there was something wrong with their eyes? Yes, the latter hypothesis was probably accurate. "Sister Yaya, let's go." Karen Joy stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yaya. Yaya came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly. She said, "Shane, Burly and the others are waiting for us. They're waiting for you to arrive to build a tent together. It's going to be a difficult time this month. I hope we can overcome this and do something for the children at the disaster area." "Yes, we will work together, and we will definitely succeed." Karen Joy shook her head and said confidently. It was Brother
"Little Jar, it's cold right?" Yaya was shivering on another bed. As she spoke, she was shivering through her teeth, and she couldn't even form a sentence properly. "Sister Yaya, take this medicine to prevent catching a cold. We must not catch a cold." Karen Joy ignored her own struggle. She quickly jumped out of the bed and took out a pill and gave it to Yaya. Then, she took one herself too. They came out to help, so they couldn't afford falling sick or weak and cause more burden to the team. "Little Jar, thank you!" Yaya took the pill and said, "I saw that your brother drove a really good car. Your family must be rich. Why are you willing to come here with us to suffer?" More than half a month ago, when she first saw Karen Joy, Yaya could see that this girl was not just an average child, but at that time she was busy with the rescue work and did not have time to ask personal questions. "Sister Yaya, why are you guys here then?" Karen Joy climbed onto her
The night was very quiet. It was so quiet that the occasional sound of sand and rocks sliding down from the mountain could be heard clearly. Karen Joy Kyle wrapped herself tightly in the quilt and tossed around again and again. She couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried to. She was really an indecisive person. She had already decided on something, but when she picked up a call from Brother Lionel, she suddenly changed her mind. Was the relationship between Brother Lionel and Serene Silas really like what Jayden Elias Kyle found? Was it just a contract? She couldn't figure it out. She couldn't figure out what kind of reason could make Brother Lionel get engaged with a woman he didn't like at all. Brother Lionel was a strong and decisive person. If that woman was not a woman he liked, even if someone threatened him with a gun, he would not agree to marry her. "Little Jar, what are you thinking about?" Hearing that Karen Joy was tossing aroun
After living for nearly 30 years, Nathaniel Cooper had lingered on the edge of death many times. He had almost died several times, but he had never been afraid. At this moment, he was actually afraid when he heard that the little girl said that the feelings she had for him might only be gratitude and dependence. What a joke! Since he was born, he had been in the noble Cooper family. Since childhood, he had to learn how to overcome the fear in his heart. At such a young age, he had already mastered the ability to remain calm even if a mountain collapsed in front of him. However, just because of this little girl's words, it frightened him, even though he was a President of the entire country. "Karen... Do you know how much I like you?" He stroked her tender face and asked her in a low voice. She certainly didn't know how much he liked her. She didn't know how important she was to him. She was not only his little sun, but she was more important th
The temporary school was in a relatively spacious tent, and there was a large tent built for each class. It was a little crowded, but the children did not mind it at all, they were all oddly in a good mood today. Just as Karen Joy Kyle walked near the tent, she heard the noise of these lively children. The noise was so loud that it almost overturned the whole tent. "Children are always so energetic." Hearing the children's energetic voices, Karen Joy smiled. Children at this age were supposed to be like this, not like her little precious at home. He was obviously 8 years old, but he made himself look like an old man. Karen Joy stepped into the room. A child immediately shouted, "Sister Jar is here. Everyone, be quiet." Almost in an instant, the small temporary classroom was so quiet that everyone stared at their new teacher with wide eyes. Under everyone's gaze, Karen Joy stepped forward to the front of the children and said with a smile, "Dear child
"Sister Jar, do you have someone you like?" Suddenly, an important question came from the computer's speaker. Nathaniel Cooper immediately focused on Karen Joy Kyle, waiting for her answer. "Of course I do..." On the computer screen, Karen Joy smiled sweetly and her voice was soft and sweet. "I like my grandparents, my parents..." "Sister Jar, we're asking if there is anybody in particular that you like?" Some students protested. Although they were young, they knew a lot. The love for her family was different from romantic love. The children were not letting her go. "I do." Karen Joy smiled and said mysteriously, "The boy I like... is your Mr. President." "Wow, Mr. President! Sister Jar likes Mr. President!!" The students were happy to hear this answer. The Sister Jar that they liked also liked their hero, so they became excited. "But Mr. President has a girlfriend." Someone commented. As soon as these words came out, the friends wh
This man was her uncle's second son, Elijah Silas. He wasted his days away by drinking alcohol, gambling, playing with girls. He never did any work and was always involved in evil deeds. He was the prodigal son that the people in Coast City hated the most. Because of his doings, the Silas family was so humiliated and he was almost driven out of the family by their grandfather. It was Serene's uncle, Mike Silas, who knelt down and begged Old Master Silas for the son to stay. In the end, he did not drive Elijah out of the Silas family, but he locked him up for half a year. He was not allowed to leave the Silas house for half a year. Half a year was neither too long nor too short. The deadline was a few days ago, and his mother couldn't wait to let him out. This past 6 months was for Elijah to reflect on himself, and learn that he should have been more careful with his behaviors, but Elijah did not care about that at all. After leaving the house, he caused so
...... 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
