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
Silvia understood now that with Rowan’s appearance, even if he did not make any other big moves, these small moves alone would be enough to cause her trouble.What was the most important thing for a woman?It was naturally her reputation.What was the deadliest thing for a salesperson?It was of course the rumor that they used connections to obtain business. Rowan was planning to destroy her. As Silvia thought of this, she could not help but feel somewhat restless. It was not easy for her to get to where she is today. She had endured so many hardships and difficulties in the factory to be fortunate enough to join Mr. Sage’s company and build her career. If Rowan destroyed everything that she had built now… She did not dare to think about it. She only knew that she would even have the thought of killing Rowan if that was the case. Her cell phone rang at this time. Silvia looked down and saw that it was a text message from Ryan. ‘Come out for a chat.’Silvia’s irritable mood
He used his warm palm to touch her cheek, and it was accompanied by his low and deep voice. “No matter what happens in the future, you just need to know that I will always stand by your side, and I will always trust you.”Silvia’s worries eased a lot after she heard what he said. She hugged his waist and leaned into his arms as she listened to his strong heartbeat and felt his warm breath. The two stayed outside for a while before they parted.Ryan stood outside alone for a while after he watched Silvia return to her private room.After learning about Rowan’s visit to Detroit from Silvia today, he immediately made arrangements, from his parents and Nora to their daughter, Autumn. This included Silvia as well. Ryan had arranged for people to secretly protect her parents, who were far away in the small town.It was better to be safe than sorry. They were all important people to him, and Rowan had always been unpredictable, so no one knew what he would do next.Silvia’s mood improv
Mr. Sage was very surprised to see Ryan. Meanwhile, Rowan’s expression darkened slightly, and even Silvia was taken aback. She did not expect that Ryan would choose to come out to meet Rowan directly. She thought he would wait for some time to determine Rowan’s intention before revealing himself. As soon as Mr. Sage saw this situation, he left after greeting Ryan briefly. In fact, as soon as Mr. Sage met Rowan, he had already guessed his identity. As a person who had been in the business circle for many years, he naturally knew about the incident of Greg’s illegitimate child a few years ago. It was even more obvious when he saw that Alex’s appearance was so similar to Ryan’s. He even mentioned that his parents were both from Detroit, which made it even more obvious. Mr. Sage had been observing Rowan’s attitude toward Silvia all night as he wanted to know Rowan’s intention in approaching Silvia to discuss business. It was impossible for Rowan not to know about Silvia’s relations
