Ryan instantly sensed that something was wrong with her. Ophelia could sense it as well and signaled for the female doctor who was originally in the ward to walk out with her to leave space for the family of three…”“Silvia…”Ryan looked at her sternness at the moment and tried to say something to calm her down but she interrupted him as soon as he called her name. “You must have noticed that there is something wrong with this incident as well, and I know you’ve already looked into this matter. May I know the results of your investigation?”Ryan was silent for a moment before he spoke up. “The person has been caught and will be brought in soon.”After hearing this, Silvia hugged her daughter even tighter and sneered, “Sure enough…”Ryan really could not stand how she was rejecting him. He felt very distressed when he saw her crying like this. He really wanted to step forward and hold her in his arms so that she could just cry.He also really wanted to hug his daughter. He wante
After saying that, he was about to raise his hands to carry Autumn, but Silvia quickly wiped her tears and stopped him.“Why are you still carrying her when you’re in this state? You should hurry up and rest.”Silvia naturally knew the reason why her father fought so hard against the thugs to protect Autumn. It was because her father knew that Autumn meant the world to her and she would not be able to live on if her daughter was in danger. However, she was also their life. If she could not live on, what would be the meaning of life for the elderly couple then?So, Mr. Alberich thought that he would have to ensure that Silvia and Autumn were both safe and sound even if he had to risk his life.“That’s right, Russell. You should rest first.”Greg eased the atmosphere from the side, then pushed Mr. Alberich to the hospital bed. Ryan stepped forward and helped Mr. Alberich onto the hospital bed, together with Greg. As soon as Mr. Alberich settled down, there was a knock on the doo
Christina accused Silvia loudly, “I hate this woman. I was fired by my boss and lost my job because of her! Would my boss have thought that I wasn’t working hard enough if she wasn't working so hard all day long? Would my boss have fired me and taken her to the trade fair so that she would have the chance to talk to clients?!“She’s almost thirty years old, but she’s still trying to compete with young people like us for jobs! Tell me—how can I not hate her?!”Christina yelled in frustration close to the end.However, her words did not win anyone’s sympathy. The police officer looked at Christina in pity and said, “First of all, there’s nothing wrong with her working hard. Besides, even if she’d really provoked you, how does that make it right for you to order someone to kidnap her child and run over her father?”The police officer did not know what to say in the face of Christina’s twisted views. ‘Young people today are too fragile psychologically, and family education has a lot
She blurted out in a state of panic, “It’s Rowan Pierce!“Rowan Pierce instructed me to do this!”Everyone in the room gasped as soon as Christina said this.No one expected that Christina would say that Rowan had instigated her. At least for Ryan and Christina, the person they had both suspected was Mariah. Ryan looked at Christina coldly and growled with an icy tone, “I’ll give you one last chance.”Christina was on the verge of bursting into tears as she hurriedly explained, “It’s really him. He’s been in contact with me during this period of time, and he was the one who asked me to do these things. He said that he would get me out of the country after it was done.”Christina was afraid that they would not believe her, so she immediately took out her cell phone and dialed the number listed under the name ‘Rowan Pierce’. However, the number she dialed did not exist. Christina panicked and dialed the number again and again with trembling hands, but the number she dialed still
“I’m the real Rowan Pierce.”Christina was horrified. She raised her hand to cover her head in pain as she thought, ‘What’s going on? The voice of the person on the phone is not the same as the one who called me!’This person’s voice was clear, while the voice of the person who called her was very rough and laced with a hint of cold-bloodedness. However, the person who called her said that his name was Rowan Pierce!Rowan obviously heard the situation on the other end of the line and gloated. “Seeing as you guys made my day by being in such misery, I’ll let you in on a secret.“Actually, Mariah is not mentally ill at all. Ryan, she lied to you. She pretended to be mentally ill when she left me so that she could go back to you.”Rowan laughed complacently. “By the way, she was also the one who released the news about your scandal and affair with her. I’ve done that once, and I wouldn’t do it a second time. Now that she’s framing me again, you don’t need me to tell you the reason
“I’m sorry, young lady. If you can’t find evidence to prove your innocence, you’ll have to bear responsibility for this matter.”As he spoke, he helped Christina up and dragged her out the door. Then, two police officers in plainclothes, who came in after hearing the commotion, followed behind and took the two men away.Christina cried hysterically, “I’m innocent, I’m innocent! Officer, please let me go! I know I was wrong. I’ll be good from now on!”But what was the use of realizing her mistakes now? She had violated the law; it wasn't something she could undo simply by admitting that she was wrong.Christina held firmly onto the door of the ward and refused to leave. She looked at Silvia, who was in the ward, and pleaded, “Silvia, please help me. I don’t want to go to jail. I didn’t mean to harm you or your daughter. It’s Mariah—it’s all her fault!“She’s the one who kept telling me how despicable you are, and that I should have been the one going to the trade fair if it weren’t
Ryan pursed his lips and fell silent. In his opinion, he had already cut off all ties with Mariah when he said those words to her. He’d never thought that Mariah would be so unforgiving and heartless. “Is this how you love me?”Silvia did not want to lose control of her emotions, but she could not help but get angry when she spoke.“You put our daughter in such a dangerous situation—is this how you love me?”Silvia’s tone was harsh and sharp as she hissed, “If this is how you handle your relationships, then please deal with your relationship with your ex-girlfriend before telling others that you love them!“Don’t be so selfish and irresponsible! Don't put others in harm’s way until you’ve dealt with your past relationship, okay?”Ryan had a grave expression as he stepped forward and tried to hold her shoulders to keep her calm.“Silvia, don’t be like this. I assure you that nothing like this will ever happen again!”He swore that, no matter what it took, he would protect the
Silvia stood up, looked at Ophelia, and smiled faintly as she replied, “It’s okay, Mrs. Pierce. This is our family’s matter; I can never have you pay for a hotel room for us.” Mrs. Alberich, who was standing at the side, chimed in. “She’s right, Ophelia. Thank you for your kindness, but we can just book the hotel ourselves.”Ophelia shook her head, looking very upset. “Silvia, we know what led to all these things. Just let me do something for you, or I’d feel really bad.”Greg had roughly explained this matter to them when they were outside. Ophelia knew that all of this was caused by her son’s failure to deal with his past relationship, and this was why she was desperately requesting to help Silvia and her family. Otherwise, how could she live with herself?Fortunately, nothing serious had happened today. If the child had really been taken, or if Silvia’s father had gotten seriously injured, Ophelia and the Pierces would definitely be laden with guilt for the rest of their live
