"Karen, Serene, and I are not what you think." Nathaniel Cooper thought Karen Joy Kyle was jealous and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to. "Then what's the relationship between you two?" Since he had already brought it up, then she could get some clarity and assurance. "She has someone she likes, and that person is a very good friend of mine. She and I are only maintaining this relationship temporarily. When the time comes, we will separate." Nathaniel explained carefully. "Brother Lionel, so... if she doesn't have someone she likes, will you spend the rest of your life with her?" Karen Joy admitted that she was very petty. She clearly knew that it was not the case, but she still wanted to bring it up and wanted to hear his words. "You're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with," Nathaniel said. Hearing what she wanted to hear, Karen Joy showed a big smile and said, "Okay, Brother Lionel, I know now. Please look for Sister Serene."
"Who are you? What do you want?" Karen Joy Kyle sensed danger. She instinctively stood in front of Nathaniel Cooper and wanted to protect him. Nathaniel pulled Karen Joy back behind him to protect her instead. He looked at the man with sharp eyes and said, "It's you." "It's me." The man seemed to be smiling, but he was not genuine. "Mr. President, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Do you miss me?" Nathaniel suddenly smiled and said, "Yes! How can I not miss you? I have missed you for three years. For the past three years, I have been thinking about how to capture you back here every day." Under the moonlight, the man's blue eyes turned colder and appeared more evil. "Do you miss me that much. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have hid from you." Under the moonlight, Nathaniel stared at the man like he was a major threat. He slowly said, "What gave you the courage to see me today?" The evil man smiled and said, "I'm just worried that since
The pungent smell of the medicine pervaded the whole room, and drops from the infusion bag hanging on the stand were slowly dripping rhythmically. The liquid medicine was slowly injected into the body of the woman lying on the bed through the fine tube. The needle was stuck on the back of the girl's hand. The bed was very narrow, so narrow that only one person could lie on it. But the bed and the room were so clean and appeared spotless. The white and spotless sheet made the woman on the bed look paler. She looked so weak and pale that she looked like she could disappear with the wind. Beside the bed stood a man wearing a half mask. Under his mask, the man's gaze looked wary and angry. He looked at the woman carefully, like he was trying to scan through her. Just as he was staring at her, the woman suddenly frowned and opened her red lips, muttering, "Jack, Jackie..." As soon as she called out his name, the man's strong body trembled slightly,
Outside the window, the cold wind was blowing, and it was raining heavily. It had gotten a lot colder in Coast City. It was cold outside, but Serene Silas felt like she was in boiling water. Wasn't she dead already? She even saw Jackie Leves come to pick her up with their child. Why could she still feel pain when she was dead? "No..." She opened her mouth but could not make a sound. She wanted to push her pain away, but she was too weak to move her hand. She only felt that the pain was getting stronger and stronger. It was so intense that she could not ignore it anymore. It was so strong that she felt that her body was about to be torn apart. She tried hard to see clearly who was hurting her. She wanted to see the devil who refused to let her go even when she was about to die. She struggled subconsciously. As soon as she moved, the pain seemed to be more intense, as if it was venting a lot of anger and dissatisfaction. Serene tried
It was lunchtime. Karen Joy Kyle found a place to sit, and when she saw Yaya walking into the dining hall looking lost, she immediately waved her hand high, "Sister Yaya, I've got your meal here." "Oh," Yaya answered. She walked up to Karen Joy lifelessly and massaged her head and sore neck. "I guess I slept in an awkward posture last night. My neck's stiff and I even feel dizzy." It wasn't her posture, it was obviously because of the drug. She was still affected by the drug. Karen Joy knew about it, but she couldn't tell her. However, she thoughtfully prepared an antidote for Yaya. "Sister Yaya, drink the soup first, it'll nourish your body and you may feel much better after drinking it." Yaya didn't ask further as she took the soup and began drinking it. After she drank the hot soup, she did feel much better. She sighed and said, "Little Joy, it's so good to have you here. I have been with Burly and Shane for a few years, and I've never seen them so thou
Karen Joy Kyle really hated the fact that she did not find her Brother Lionel earlier. If she had found Brother Lionel at that difficult time, he would not be alone. He would feel better with her by his side. But she knew very well that she didn't have the ability to reverse time, and it was impossible for her to turn back time and make things right again. Hence, she had to cherish the present. She wanted to let Brother Lionel know that he had her, and that she would stay by his side. "Miss..." On the phone, Blake White shouted her name a few times, then Karen Joy came back to her senses. "Yes." Karen Joy took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "Blake, thank you for telling me so much. Please also help me protect Mr. President in the future. You must ensure his safety. I absolutely don't want anything to happen to him." After that, she hung up the phone. She looked up at the sky and said softly, "Brother Lionel, you protected me in the past, now
Serene Silas snorted and turned to look out of the window. "Please leave. I don't want to see anyone now." She wanted to hide her humiliation, her wounds, all her helplessness and fear. She would never let others see her wounds, nor would she let others take the opportunity to laugh at her and insult her. The woman looked at Serene and said indifferently, "Miss Silas, it was my Young Master who asked me to help you clean up." Clean up? Serene sneered as she heard that sentence. Was she going to show all the wounds that the devil had caused her body to another stranger? Was she going to show those scars and bruises to others, and let others know what the devil did to her to torture her? She was already disgusted enough! She didn't want to be reminded again. The woman approached the bed, "Miss Silas..." "I said I don't need any help. Can't you hear me?" Serene bit her lip. "Get out, don't let me see you again." The woman s
He once told her personally that she was not allowed to take off this engagement ring before he put on her wedding ring. The words that Jackie Leves said to her were still ringing in her ears from time to time, but she did not keep her promise to him. When she was engaged to Nathaniel Cooper, she took off the engagement ring that Jackie had given her. She tied the ring on a string and hung it on her neck. Since she couldn't wear it on her finger anymore, she put the ring closest to her heart and waited for him to come back. She wanted to wait for him to come back and put on the wedding ring for him personally. However, she waited for a long time, but he still didn't come back. She didn't know how long more could she wait. Now that her innocence had been ruined, even if he came back, how could she face him? "Jackie, where are you? Do you know how much I miss you?" She could only think about these words in her heart. Whenever she thought of
...... 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
