It was only April, but the temperature in Chatterton Town was increasing rapidly. Pretty women could be seen everywhere on the streets wearing shorts and summer tops, portraying a wonderful scenery to the already beautiful Chatterton Town. The press release to introduce the new collection of the internationally famous brand, KF Clothing, was held in the scenic Chatterton Town this year. In recent years, Chatterton Town had been the center of global fashion trends. Many famous designers that were internationally renowned were from Chatterton Town. Hence, it was an obvious choice to hold the press release here. As soon as the news that KF Corporation decided to have the press release in Chatterton Town was released, many businessmen in Chatterton Town tried to reach out to KF Corporation and tried their best to fight for the opportunity to sponsor the company. Over the years, KF Corporation had become a representation of quality assurance. Brands that could work w
"Here you are!" A bright smile appeared on Karen's face inadvertently, as if she was not surprised that Kevin, who told her that he was in a meeting, would appear behind her. "How can I not come?" Kevin flashed a sweet smile at her. He deliberately did not show up this time. He was very satisfied to see that Karen thought of him. If Karen proceeded to attend the event without thinking of him, Kevin decided that he would punish her when they got home! Well, one wouldn't need to think too hard to figure out how Kevin would want to punish Karen then. "Of course you can't!" Karen walked forward to hold him and said gently, "How do I look today? Is my outfit alright?" "It's beautiful!" Kevin was always a straightforward person. Hence, Karen could trust his compliments. "Alright, alright, Mr. Kyle is already here. Can we get the show going now?" If Faye didn't interrupt them, the conversation between the two of them would go on for a very long
It was mid-summer. The sun was shining bright in the sky, but in an instant, the weather changed. Dark clouds filled the sky. With the rumbling sound of thunder, the heavy rain poured down. In just half an hour, Madison City was close to flooding. The beautiful and historically rich town had turned into a floating city, somewhat like Venice, Italy. Fortunately, the weather forecast was accurate. The government released the storm signal in advance, and stopped all activities in order to ensure the safety of the people and their property. Therefore, there were no vehicles and pedestrians on the street. However, there was a very slender, young girl running wildly in the rain. Her knee-length dress was soaked by the rain, and the sheer fabric clung close to her body. She looked like a homeless puppy. She had been running in the rain for a long time and she was getting very tired. However, she still gritted her teeth and ran ahead as if she was running fo
"Thump-Thump!" The knock on the door interrupted Silvia's thoughts again. She rubbed her aching head and thought for a while. She would have to face this nightmare sooner or later anyway, so it was better to face it as soon as possible. She replied, "Please wait a moment, I'll get ready right away." After a quick rinse, Silvia changed into a set of home attire that the maid prepared for her. The clothes were light pink, and there were cartoon prints on the clothes. It looked very cute... no, actually, it looked very childish. Silvia frowned in disgust. She thought that the man may be a pedophile. Such a person should be caught or even shot dead, but in reality, he became a very powerful person in Madison City. Silvia touched her head and thought about it carefully. It was only three years since she first heard the rumor of this perverted old man. In just three years, one could only dream of becoming wealthy so quickly. How on earth
Silvia turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a suit with a stern face. She remembered him well. He left quite a deep impression in Silvia's mind. A few days ago, this man, who claimed that he was working on behalf of Mr. Kyle, was the one who spent a large sum of money in buying her off the black market. He glared at her angrily, as if she had committed a big sin if she didn't eat the food prepared by Auntie Cherry. Silvia looked at him confidently and fearlessly. She blinked her big, round eyes, attempting to look formidable. Throughout all these years, in order to protect her mother and herself, Silvia often fought with a lot of evil people. Although she had not learned other skills, she had learned to fight for survival. She wasn't afraid of anyone. The two of them were staring at each other. Auntie Cherry, who was standing at the side, wanted to walk over and mediate the situation. However, she was worried. "Butler Banks..." Simon wave
"Master, we have found the information you want." Stanley handed some documents onto the man's desk respectfully. He stepped back and said, "Everything you need to know about Miss Turner is here." "Okay." The man nodded and didn't speak more. He reached out to slip through the documents. When he stumbled upon something on the document, he frowned even more. "Master..." Watching the man frown, Stanley felt a little uneasy and asked carefully, "Master, is there any problem?" "No, you can go now." The man waved his hand. "Okay..." Just as he was about to leave, Stanley remembered another thing. "Master, that person wants to see you. Do you want to see him?" "No." The man declined without hesitation. There were many people who wanted to see him. No one was special enough that he needed to meet them. Stanley paused and said, "That person originally wanted to sell Miss Turner to Master Onyx so that she could become a prostitute. He didn't expect that you w
After the heavy rain, the sky appeared clear, and the air was particularly fresh. The stars in the night sky looked brighter than usual. Silvia was sitting on a rocking chair on the balcony. She looked up at the stars in the sky in a daze, thinking about ways to escape. There were no TV, computers, or any other communication devices in this villa, which completely cut off her contact with the outside world. It had been five days since she came here. For five days, she did not know what was going on outside, so she started to panic. She did not know how the company that her father had worked so hard to set up was going, nor did she know how her mother was, who was lying on the hospital bed. She was afraid that after she escaped, the ungrateful people of the Turner family would take over the company that her father left for her, and she was even more afraid that her mother's illness could not be treated in time. No! Silvia wiped away the tears th
Why didn't he respond? After putting on a show for a long time, Silvia couldn't get any response from the man, so she felt disheartened. But now, there was a crowd of people chasing her down. This man could be her only savior. No matter what, she had to hold onto him tightly. She bit her lip and showed a more pitiful expression, almost kneeling down to the man in front of her. "Sir, it's okay if you don't want to give me any food, but can you let me hide here for a night?" Jayden was caught by surprise and questioned her, "Hiding for a night?" Silvia thought she may have said something wrong, "No, I mean, stay for the night. It's so dark outside. I just traveled through time and I'm not familiar with the area. I'm afraid that I'll be eaten by wolves if I step out." Describing the people hunting her down as 'wolves' was not an exaggeration at all. To be honest, the group of people chasing her was even more terrible than the evil wolves. Jayden r
...... 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
