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
He did not like children, and he did not want any. He was also a victim of dysfunctional relationships and had grown up in the absence of fatherly love for so many years. He understood that kind of sadness and pain clearly, so he would never allow any woman to give birth to his child, nor would he allow his children to have the same experience as he did. Most importantly, he had no intention of spending the rest of his life with Mariah. She was just a trophy that he had snatched from Ryan, so how could he have a child with her? Mariah was not innocent either. Would she have been deceived by him if she weren't a gold digger?If she hadn’t insisted on having a baby, would he have forced her to get abortions, which resulted in her infertility?Many things were not the fault of just one person. After all, what Mariah loved was Ryan’s body and wealth, and not Ryan as a person.Speaking of which, Ryan should thank Rowan for taking a woman like Mariah away from him so that he and Sil
Silvia shook her head to indicate that it was better for her to answer the call herself. Rowan’s clear voice sounded over the other end of the line. “Miss Silvia, did you sleep well last night?”His tone was full of ridicule, as if he was confident that his appearance yesterday would have disrupted everything, and she and Ryan would have had trouble sleeping. However, he was wrong, and the two of them had slept very well last night. Anyone would sleep well after an intense lovemaking session.“We slept very well thanks to you, Mr. Alex.”Silvia deliberately mentioned the word ‘we’ to imply that she and Ryan had a good night last night. Sure enough, Rowan fell silent on the other end of the line.Silvia added, “Mr. Alex, is anything the matter since you’re calling so early in the morning?”Rowan was silent for a while, then he laughed and said, “It’s nothing much, Miss Silvia. I just wanted to tell you that I won’t be going to your company to discuss work matters today as I have
Silvia let out a sigh and looked at Ryan’s back as he entered the bathroom. She knew that they would be stuck in a bad mood whenever he mentioned Rowan. Sometimes, when she thought about it from his standpoint, she felt that it made sense that he was in a bad mood. After breakfast, the two drove to work separately. About half an hour after Silvia arrived at the company, she suddenly heard someone calling for her at the entrance of the office.“Excuse me. Is Miss Silvia Alberich here?”Silvia was busy at first. When she heard this, she turned her head and looked out the door to see a man standing outside the door with a large bouquet of flowers in his arms. She stood up and looked at the man in a daze. “I’m Silvia Alberich.”The man then smiled and said loudly, “Mr. Ryan Pierce, the chairman of Pierce Group, entrusted our florist to deliver this bouquet of flowers to you. We just airlifted this bouquet of flowers from Kolsamee this morning.”Silvia could not hear what the man sa
She would take her granddaughter to the kindergarten at around 8 AM every morning, and she would travel by foot because she lived very close to her granddaughter's kindergarten.She would definitely be back no later than 8.30 AM. However, he did not see Ophelia coming back even after he waited until almost 9 AM. He took out his cell phone worriedly and wanted to call Ophelia to ask her if something had happened. Before he could call Ophelia, he saw her coming back from not far away, carrying a bag in her hand.Greg put his cell phone away and walked up to greet her with a worried expression.“Why did you come back so late today?”When Greg saw the bag in Ophelia’s hand clearly, he asked again, “Did you catch a cold?”The bag in her hand contained several cold medications. Ophelia pretended not to see him. She lowered her head and walked past him, but Greg stopped her, so she had to look up at him with a cold expression and ask, “What’s up?”As soon as Ophelia spoke with a s
“In terms of seniority, I’m the eldest son, and in terms of filial piety to you, I think I’m no worse than he is. So, why? Why is it that he has everything but I have nothing even though we are both your sons? Is it because his mother is your legal and rightful wife?”Greg could not help but slam his hands on the table angrily. “Stop making yourself sound like a victim! I was sincere toward you and your mother at the beginning. Didn’t you know that? But what did you do to me?”Greg’s voice trembled when he said this.“You joined hands with your mother to scheme against me, wanting to seize Pierce Group for yourself. Do you even have a conscience? It’d have been fine if Pierce Group was my own, but Ryan’s mother contributed to the success of Pierce Group as well!”Greg still felt very angry when he thought of what had happened back then. “If you hadn’t been greedy, you wouldn’t have forced me back into this family, and I wouldn't have left and neglected both you and your mother,
Once Rowan took measures to try to get his hands on Pierce Group, Ryan would certainly counterattack, and one of the two of them would be injured then. No father would want to see his two sons in such a mess. Greg sat in his seat for a long time before he finally calmed down. He took his cell phone to call Ryan. Since Rowan’s intention was already obvious, he naturally had to understand the specifics of the current situation. What’s more, the matter involved Silvia now. Greg knew everything that Ryan and Silvia had gone through very well, and he was also well aware of how much Ryan cared for Silvia. Greg knew that if Rowan hurt Silvia, his relationship with Ryan, which had just eased a little, would become tense again.Everything before Greg made him feel so depressed that it was unbearable. Ophelia was divorcing him, and it was going to be a year since they were separated. Did he really have to wait and live apart from her for two years for the court to rule for their divorce?
