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
Momo was a pet that had been by Karen Joy Kyle's side since birth, she treated Momo like it was her sister. She had been raising Momo for ten years and she was not mentally prepared when it left her. How could she not be sad? Since Momo passed away, Karen Joy had never had another pet again, and she didn't even allow anyone to mention Momo in front of her. Now Nathaniel Cooper knew that it was not that Karen Joy didn't like pets anymore, but that she was afraid that history would repeat again, she was afraid of losing another pet. "Brother Lionel, where is Sister Serene? How is she doing?" Karen Joy did not know why she was so worried about a person whom she had only met twice. Perhaps she felt that no matter what, Serene Silas was still Nathaniel's fiancee. Now that she was entangled with Nathaniel, she felt a little guilty for Serene. Last night, Karen Joy had a nightmare about Serene. In the dream, Serene looked unhappy. Serene seemed to ha
Serene Silas turned her head and bit Jackie Leves' hand. She bit it so hard that her teeth sank into the flesh of his palm and blood gushed out. She looked at him furiously. Her eyes were like X-rays as if they were going to penetrate his body. "Get out! Don't let me see you again!" Serene released his hand and spat out a mouthful of blood as she turned her head to the side. Her mouth was full of his blood, which made her feel extremely disgusted. "You don't want to see me? Do you think this is something you can control?" Jackie smiled coldly, like a demon from hell. His smile made Serene tremble, but she still managed to straighten her thin body and looked at him coldly. "People like you who wear masks and don't even dare to show their true colors are only fit to live in hell." People who wear masks and don't even dare to show their true faces are only fit to live in cold hell... She was right, this whole year, his days were worse than living in hell.
At this moment, there was only one thought in Serene Silas' mind, she must not be pregnant with the devil's child. As long as she is not pregnant with the devil's child, she would eat anything. Whether she could survive or not was not her priority. "Miss Silas, it's good that you understand." Nina handed her a glass of water. The water was still steaming, so it should be very hot. However, Serene couldn't care any lesser as she swallowed the pills with the piping hot water. The boiling hot water scalded Serene's throat, she didn't spit it out but forced herself to swallow it. She would never allow herself to be pregnant with that devil's child! Nina took the medicine bottle that was left in Serene's hand and put it back into her pocket. "Miss Silas, as long as you know what you should and should not do, then you won't suffer that much. I will prepare the birth control pills for you in the future. Just take good care of my Young Master." Only when her
The news which claimed that Serene Silas' was actually directed by another person to commit the murder had gone viral in country A. Many onlookers who didn't know the truth began to organize investigation groups to search for the mastermind of the murder. But unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried to unearth the truth, they still couldn't find any news about the girl except for the photo that had been exposed. Some people even suspected that the girl did not really exist. It was very likely that she was a smoke bomb that was deliberately used by a powerful and influential person, and the purpose was to get rid of the charges on Miss Silas. After such theories were released, they soon gained the support of a lot of people. Due to the analytical opinions by rational netizens, more and more people had come to support their view. Everyone had shifted their attention to the powerful and influential person that was behind all this in no time. To sa
...... 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
