Including her divorce from Ryan, and Ryan getting stabbed by Mariah—the man in front of him was the culprit behind the scene.If it was not because of his torture, Mariah wouldn’t have gone mad and done so many crazy things. Although he had a gentle and harmless smile, Silvia knew that he was a demon.However, the reality was that she had to entertain the demon who was now her client. She had to respect this client, unless he did something bad.Therefore, she had to put aside any fear and unwillingness she felt and greet this demon with a smile.The driver next to Silvia did not know about the grievances between them and only regarded Rowan as a client, so when Silvia and Rowan exchanged pleasantries briefly, the driver had already stepped forward politely to help the man get his luggage. Eventually, Silvia hid the astonishment on her face as she tried her best to put a smile on her face and greeted Rowan politely, “Mr. Alex, this way, please.” The man glanced at her faintl
“Miss Silvia, are you married?” Silvia clenched her teeth. ‘He’s asking me this question on purpose, right?’He clearly knew about the separation and reunion between her and Ryan very well, but he was asking her if she was married now.How was she going to answer? Should she say that she was married and got divorced, and was now in a relationship with her ex-husband?Wouldn’t she be embarrassing herself in front of the driver if she said that?After all, this matter was her own privacy, so the driver did not know about it at all. Mr. Sage was the only person in the company who knew about the story between her and Ryan. Silvia figured that Rowan must be the devil’s brother if not the devil himself. However, after knowing Rowan’s malicious intent, Silvia counterattacked without showing any weakness. She smiled sweetly and looked at Rowan as she answered, “I’m married. My daughter is already four years old.”Since he wanted to infuriate her on purpose, she should infuriate him
He was a little annoyed that she had left him speechless like this, but he was also somewhat surprised at her eloquence. In the end, all these emotions were finally transformed into a deep and inquisitive gaze, which he cast directly on her face. He finally said with a smile, “Miss Silvia, you’re really good with words.”Silvia replied with a smile, “You’re too kind.”She then turned around in her seat again.Rowan did not intentionally find fault with Silvia again along the way, and Silvia did not take the initiative to talk to him either.When she was a child, her parents had always taught her to fight back fiercely if someone bullied her. This way, when the other party wanted to bully her again next time, they would think about her previous counterattack and think twice. Silvia had used this method to deal with Rowan just now.Silvia was no match for Rowan, who was cunning and treacherous, but she was not to be outdone either. She even gained the upper hand in the end. The
Rowan, who was behind her, simply stood there lazily and watched her leave as his smile gradually dissipated. Silvia went back to the car after coming out of the hotel. The driver asked her, “Miss Silvia, do you want to go back directly to the company now?”Silvia held back the disturbing thoughts in her mind and instructed the driver, “Send me to Pierce Group first.”The driver was a little surprised as to why she wanted to go to Pierce Group, but he did not ask her any further questions and drove her there. Silvia took out her cell phone and called Ryan. “Are you at the company now?”“Yes. What’s wrong?” Ryan asked over the other end of the line. She took a deep breath and replied, “I’ll go over to look for you in a while.”“What happened?”Ryan sensed that something was wrong with her. She seldom took the initiative to go to Pierce Group to look for him, let alone during working hours.“Let’s talk about it when we meet.”Silvia did not know where to start. What happened
“Don’t blame yourself. This has nothing to do with whether you notice it.”Ryan held her hands and comforted her. “Rowan has always been a scheming person. He's good at hiding his tracks, so you never could've known.”Silvia sighed. “When I was still working at the factory, he contacted me several times by email to ask for prices, and he sent several drawings of clothing designs to ask whether our factory could manufacture them.”Silvia slowly recalled the previous email exchanges with Alex, only to realize that Rowan had already laid out the groundwork since then.“I replied to his emails a few times, but he did not contact me again after that. I thought it was because he was dissatisfied with our factory and did not want to collaborate with us. I came to Mr. Sage’s company after the New Year, and he sent me another email and was very eager to cooperate with us. I made a few samples and sent them to him for review. He was very polite and elegant when we exchanged emails, so I th
Their daughter was too young, and Greg and Ophelia were too old. As for Nora, she was a simple person. So, Silvia thought she should just be Rowan’s target, so at least this way, they could avoid Rowan causing harm to others.Ryan felt very touched when he heard what she had said.She actually wanted to sacrifice herself for the sake of others. This so-called sacrifice would not cost her her life, but that she was insisting on being the target of Rowan’s attack in order to prevent others from getting hurt. She was too silly, but she was so silly that a man like him was moved by her.Every one of them was important to him, including her. He held her tightly in his arms and promised her, “I won’t let any of you get hurt.”She was the mother of his child and the woman he loved—how could he let her get hurt?Ryan calmed his emotions for a moment, then reassured Silvia once again, “Now that Rowan hasn’t revealed anything yet, all we can do is wait and see what happens. You can cont
In order to ease the somewhat heavy atmosphere between them, Silvia smiled mischievously and teased him. “Chairman Pierce, I didn’t know that you’re still so unconfident!” To be honest, it was really the first time Silvia had seen Ryan reacting like this. Ryan snorted. “Hey, it's because you didn’t give me enough sense of security, okay? What’s the use of having self-confidence if you don’t give me a sense of security?” Silvia was embarrassed. “Isn’t it always men who should give women that?”How could a man like him ask her for such a thing? Ryan spoke in dissatisfaction, “Who said that? A man in love needs a sense of security from a woman as well.”Silvia was in a dilemma now.“What can I do to give you a sense of security? You should know how I feel.”Silvia felt that she had done nothing that could have made him feel insecure. She had loved him for so many years, and her feelings had never changed. How could he still feel insecure after she had loved him for so many
“Thank you,” she whispered on the other end of the line.Ryan laughed softly at the other end. “There is no need for you to thank me verbally from now on. You can just thank me properly after we go back at night.”Silvia blushed slightly. “You rascal!”She hurriedly hung up the phone after scolding him. She was still in the office, but he was giving her such a shameless hint, which caused her to blush. The group of people drove to the hotel where Rowan was staying. When they parked the car in the parking lot, Silvia saw the black Bentley belonging to Ryan and immediately felt a lot more at ease. The feeling of working hand in hand with him like this was really wonderful.Although they still did not know what Rowan’s purpose in coming back was or what they would face in the future, she did not feel any other emotions when she thought of how they were going to face all of this together. She did not feel panicked or afraid. Mr. Sage was surprised when he saw Rowan because
