On Misty Mountain. Nina, who was still lying on the bed pretending to be ill, got up as soon as she heard that Jackie Leves wanted her to leave. She stared at Daryl Leves with wide eyes in disbelief and asked, "Uncle Daryl, did you make a mistake?" "How could it be a mistake?" Daryl shook his head and sighed. "Nina, listen to me. If it doesn't belong to you, you'd better stop desperately hoping for it." "What do you mean by 'desperately hoping'. I've known the Young Master since I was a child. When did that Silas girl know him? It was that shameless woman that took away what belonged to me. Why would you ask me to let go?" Nina thought that Jackie should belong to her, but Serene suddenly got in between them and ruined everything. If it weren't for Serene's interference, she might have married Jackie a long time ago. They might even have had children together already. However, that d*mned woman, Serene, appeared in front of Jackie. She attracted his attent
Time flew by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, a week had passed just like that. Serene Silas was discharged from the hospital today, and Karen Joy originally wanted to bring her home. Unexpectedly, her Brother Lionel had arranged a residence for Serene and asked someone to take care of her. Not only did he hire special personnel to take care of her, but he also personally ordered the domestic helper over there, "Miss Silas is in poor health. You have to take good care of her these days." She hoped that Brother Lionel could help Serene out, but when she saw how Brother Lionel could take care of another woman so thoughtfully, Karen Joy began to feel jealous again. She felt that she was really a strange woman. She was extremely confident, but she always lost that part of herself in her relationship with Brother Lionel. Perhaps it was because Brother Lionel had a fiancee in name and she was entangled in an awkward relationship, that was why she felt
... Jackie was speechless. He was stunned as he looked at her quietly. What was he sorry for? He was sorry for too many things. Even if he had to spend the rest of his life to compensate her, he wouldn't be able to make up for the damage he had done to her. "You're sorry, sorry?... If saying 'sorry' has any use, why would there be a need for law and order? So when the rapists say sorry, must the victims just forgive them?" Not giving Jackie a chance to speak, Serene shouted over and over again as she was wiping her tears as if she was venting the grievance she had suffered from him during this period of time. Hearing that she compared him to a rapist, Jackie sighed and looked down, and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. In fact, Serene was right. Not long ago, he imprisoned her and didn't give her any freedom. He even did whatever he wanted with her. Those actions were diabolical, to say the least! Comparing him to a com
"Brother Lionel, I'm just a little scared." Karen Joy Kyle said. "What are you scared of?" Nathaniel Cooper replied with a question. "I'm scared that, just like when I was a child, I would wake up one day and not see you again." When she was a child, she went through two traumatic experiences. As a result, she was afraid of darkness, and she was afraid that she couldn't find her Brother Lionel after she wakes up. These days, Brother Lionel was clearly with her, but her heart was inexplicably in a panic. She always felt that she would lose him. "No! I will never leave you alone like that." Nathaniel took her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her forehead gently. She had this worry, so did he. She certainly did not know that he was more afraid that she would disappear from his sight too. "By the way, Brother Lionel, has Jackie figured things out? Would he secretly come and cause trouble to Sister Serene?" As they talked, Karen Joy though
Karen Joy Kyle felt chills run down her spine when she saw the look in the eyes of the person next to her. She turned her head and saw Brother Lionel looking at her coldly. Both her father and Brother Lionel were not men to be trifled with, so why was she so courageous to mess with both of them? She smiled at him and didn't say anything. She continued to talk to her father, "Dad, look. If you don't talk, I will feel anxious, and I feel like a child that no one loves. Dad, I am your lovely and sensible little daughter, please talk to me." In comparison, her father was more important. Karen Joy decided to comfort her proud father first. As for Brother Lionel, she had a lot of ways to comfort him later. "Mm." Kevin Kyle scoffed, she didn't know if he meant his word. Karen Joy pouted angrily and shrugged helplessly. To face such a cold and arrogant father everyday, it must be hard on her beautiful and gentle mother. If her Brother Lionel was like her fat
"What are you looking at? Do you think I'm wrong?" In this matter, Kevin Kyle was very stubborn. Although Karen Daly had persuaded him many times, he still did not like Lionel. Kevin remained quiet. Karen said in a gentler voice, "You're not talking again? So you disagree with me?" Kevin still kept his peace. Karen added, "Director Kevin, if you are not happy, just say it. Let's have a good talk. You being silent like this, are you mad at me?" Kevin replied, "No, I'm not." Karen asked, "You're not what?" Kevin said, "I think you are right." Hearing Kevin's words, Karen did not know how to react. "If you are unhappy, just say it directly. I am not an unreasonable woman." Kevin said lightly, "Are you not?" "What?" Karen raised her eyebrows and suddenly smiled gently. "Apparently I am an unreasonable woman in your eyes." Kevin realized that he had said something wrong and immediately explained, "I didn't mean that." K
"Ser..." Jackie Leves opened his mouth, but he was so emotional that he couldn't call out Serene Silas' name. He looked at her quietly. He quietly observed her smooth forehead, her beautifully shaped eyebrows, and her dark eyes... She was the Serene he knew. She had not changed at all, but he mistakenly thought that she was the culprit of the extermination of the Leves family because of the fake information he received. He didn't investigate further and even imprisoned her and hurt her so deeply. "Jackie, I will be with you from now on!" Serene took the initiative to hold his hand instead. Her hand was very thin and small. Her delicate hand appeared so small in comparison to his. "Okay!" His response was brief, but it took him a lot of energy to say so. From now on, with her by his side, he suddenly felt much calmer. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had enough courage to go on. "Have you... eaten?" After looking at each other for
The group of friends ate very happily together. When they left, Yaya gave Karen Joy Kyle a big hug. "Little Jar, I don't want to hide it from you. I wanted to work there to pursue your brother. But no matter what happens between your brother and I, I hope we can be friends for the rest of our lives." Karen Joy smiled and said, "Sister Yaya, of course, as long as you don't fault me, you will always be my good friend." Previously, Karen Joy was a little worried that Yaya was so impulsive and worried she would blame her if she could not get what she wanted. Now, what Yaya said completely eliminated Karen Joy's internal worries. On the way home, Karen Joy sighed again. The biggest joy of coming to Country A was to meet Yaya and her friends. In this superficial world, it was really difficult to have sincere and innocent friends like Yaya and the two boys. "Karen Joy..." Hearing a crisp and tender voice calling her name, Karen Joy looked up and saw t
...... 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
