"Anyway, I can't save her. If you want her to live, you can find someone else to help you... By the way, if you can get God to help her, that would be better. I heard that God can bring her back to life with just a snap of the finger." "I'm an old man but I've never seen God save anyone before. Child, you can just give it a try. Beg God to save this little Silas girl." After that, Old Master Leonard packed up his kit and left. When he walked to the door, he suddenly looked back. He looked at Jackie Leves and said earnestly, "Child, a year ago, you were seriously injured and even your face was unrecognizable. I brought you back to life. I know how tough your life was this year, but I still want to remind you that you only have one life, and this is it." "Let bygones be bygones." Jackie didn't want to mention the sufferings he had gone through this past year, but he would always keep Old Master Leonard's words in mind. Old Master Leonard added, "Child, you h
Since some irresponsible citizens began spreading rumors, and rumors spread like wildfire, many people thought that Serene Silas' disappearance had something to do with Mr. President. It was amazing how these bunch of keyboard warriors could jump to their own conclusion like they were witnesses to the case. They were so sure about their conclusion like they've witnessed the President saved Serene away. A lot of citizens believed in that conclusion. They argued that Mr. President was extremely powerful and protective of Serene too. Obviously, he would try to help her. Some said that the President that presented himself in front of the people as a gentle and elegant person might have done more immoral things in secrecy. A handful of them even argued that Nathaniel Cooper personally killed both his brothers in order to climb to the position as President. And there were some who expressed disappointment over their Mr. President. They could not believe that som
"It's my negligence." Blake White blamed himself. As a qualified bodyguard, he should take the initiative to inspect Karen Joy Kyle's surroundings. However, he only thought of protecting her from attacks and ignored these little details. Karen Joy said calmly, "The discussions on the Internet will soon come to me. Find some evidence for me. Before the matter explodes, I want to know who the mastermind is." After so long, just as Jayden Elias Kyle expected, what those people wanted to expose was not the murder case of Serene Silas, but the real murderer behind the scenes. They wanted to expose Karen Joy. How ridiculous! They wanted to use her to control Brother Lionel. She had little patience for those despicable people. Blake said, "Miss, someone has shared that you're in the disaster area. For safety's sake, you'd better go back to Coast City with me. We'll plan everything else later." "I promised the children at the disaster area that I would
At night. The disaster area was brightly lit. Although the stage that was built temporarily was not as big as the stage of the National Grand Theater, but it was quite a good set up. On the stage, they used steel as pillars, and a large red backdrop was erected behind it. The backdrop had the words "To rebuild a beautiful home" written across it. Under the stage, the people in the disaster area had already arranged the stools and sat neatly. Everyone was excited as they sat straight to look at the stage. On the stage, the leader of the disaster relief work was enthusiastically reciting the opening speech for the night. After the speech, the host took over the microphone and announced the first program. The first performance was a song sung by a famous national singer called "We Are A family". As soon as this familiar prelude was played, the audience began to applaud. When the song reached its chorus, the audience sang together. The harmonious v
After all, fourteen years of companionship and care couldn't be compared against the other person... Since the beginning, she eliminated him away from the race. She didn't give him a chance at all. The man standing behind Jayden Elias Kyle said, "Two more programs until Miss Kyle's. I just heard someone say that she is going to perform a ballet solo. I think it's the one she was supposed to perform on her birthday." Jayden did not answer him again. His eyes were still fixed on where Karen Joy Kyle disappeared. He squinted his eyes and looked so down. He hid a lot of emotions in his heart. His annoyance towards her wasn't the only barrier, his identity was too. He was her older brother by name. The two programs ended in a few minutes. The host announced loudly, "Next, our Little Jar will bring you a ballet solo. Everyone, enjoy!" As he spoke, most of the lights on the stage were turned off, and Karen Joy stood under the spotlight. She was weari
Karen Joy Kyle was speechless. It turned out that her Brother Lionel was actually fierce, but he just did not show his fierceness in front of her. His shout scared her so much that she didn't even dare to say a word. She just rolled her eyes, looking both cute and pitiful at the same time. However, no matter how pitiful Karen Joy looked, this time, Nathaniel's face was still gloomy and scary. He didn't say a word and looked very angry. Nathaniel didn't let her speak, so Karen Joy put her head on his chest like a poor little kitten. She wiggled around as he carried her. She didn't believe that Brother Lionel would ignore her the whole time. After a few wiggles, Nathaniel still ignored her with a sullen face. Karen Joy quietly raised her head and glanced at his extremely cold face. That was when Karen Joy knew that her Brother Lionel was really angry this time. This man! He was so handsome when he was angry. How could girls not like h
"I wasn't wrong!" Karen Joy Kyle shouted. "Nathaniel Cooper, do you think I'm doing this for fun?" This man didn't understand her at all. Everything she did was for him, it was fine when he didn't compliment her, but he even hit her. The more she thought about it, the more Karen Joy felt wronged. Her nose tingled and tears ran down her face. Karen Joy's tears were like a nuclear weapon to Nathaniel. He couldn't do anything to her. But he couldn't just let her be, or else this silly girl will make the same mistake again, and injure herself again. She definitely didn't know that in his heart, to have her safe and sound was more important than anything else, even more, important than being a rich and powerful person. "When my Dad gets mad at me, the most he would do is not talk to me, he wouldn't even lay a finger on me." Karen Joy wiped off her tears and said. "But you Nathaniel Cooper, you b*stard, you actually hit me." Since she was littl
Yaya was so angry that she kicked the small stones on the ground. How could the cute and sensible Little Jar have such a proud and arrogant brother? He shouldn't think that he could get all the ladies because of his good looks. But then again, didn't she fall for him at first sight just because he was good-looking and elegant. "Hahaha..." Yaya heard Burly and Shane's voices coming from behind. They were laughing hysterically. "What are you laughing at? Is it that funny? Do you guys have nothing else to do?" Yaya glared at both of them. "Yaya, you used to say that I was aiming for the moon. Why did you make such a mistake today?" Burly pointed to the direction where Jayden Elias Kyle had disappeared and said, "That person is obviously way out of our league. You should just daydream about it, why did you have to try and embarrass yourself?" On one hand, Burly was insulting Yaya, but on the other hand, he only said it was because that Yaya was h
...... 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
