Ryan stood up immediately. “If I’m not happy, she shouldn’t think about being happy either!”What did Ophelia mean by letting Silvia find a good husband? She shouldn’t even think about it!She was so desperate to get a divorce. He was so upset and angry, and he felt that his pride had been trampled on. How could he even consider letting her live a comfortable life then?!Ophelia was so angry at the rascal’s words that she took off her apron and threw it aside, then walked over to pick up her bag. “You can figure it out yourself. I’m too lazy to care about you. You can choose whether or not to eat the congee I cooked for you in the pot!”Ophelia slammed the door and left after saying that.Seriously, what was wrong with this son of hers?She used to think that he was mature, stable, and sensible, but why couldn’t she accept any of his words this time? In her opinion, he was clearly reluctant to part with Silvia but he was just stubborn! After his mother left angrily, Ryan sa
“I’ll go to Detroit to settle the score with him!”Mr. Alberich was already dissatisfied with Ryan, but used to suppress his anger for his daughter’s sake. Now that Ryan had divorced his daughter and yet was still bullying her like this, Mr. Alberich could not hold back his anger anymore.A layer of fresh animosity was added to the old grudge, and Mr. Alberich was furious as he grabbed his coat and prepared to head out.Mrs. Alberich stopped him. “Calm down, what good will it do if you go to settle the score with him so arbitrarily?”Silvia also got up and pulled Mr. Alberich back. “Don’t go, Dad. You don’t have to stand up for me. Let’s not have any more dealings with him. I’m really fed up with him.” Silvia’s father was still furious, so he instructed her instead, “Don’t be fooled by his words this time. You’re not allowed to see him if he comes looking for you!”Silvia smiled wryly.“Don’t worry, Dad. We are already divorced. He will probably get together with his sweethea
Mr. Alberich thought that Silvia was worried about money.“Silvia, it’s a good thing for you to go abroad. It can keep you away from Ryan, and you can also improve yourself. You shouldn’t be worried about money.”Silvia felt a little helpless. She knew her father was worried that she was still reluctant to let go of Ryan, but his worry was, in fact, superfluous. Since she made the decision to divorce and was so determined to go through with it, she wouldn’t be unable to let go then. “Don’t overthink, Dad. I just want to get up where I fell,” Silvia comforted her father. Mr. Alberich’s expression finally eased up, and Mrs. Alberich also expressed respect for her decision.After communicating with her parents, Silvia borrowed her mother’s cell phone to log onto Whatsapp to check in with Rosaline, Miya, and the others, to let them know she was safe. As soon as she logged onto Whatsapp, she saw the three of them cursing at Ryan in their group chat. After a few glances, she understoo
It was fine now. She had come to her senses and it was time for her to get motivated. After checking in with Miya and her close friends, Silvia went to take a shower and catch up on sleep in her room. She had been physically and mentally exhausted during this period of time. Now that she had let go of everything and gotten divorced, her tense nerves and body were completely relaxed. She needed a good rest.When she was catching up on sleep, Mr. Alberich still felt angry and called Greg, accusing him of not teaching his son well. His son was already divorced but was still doing childish and unreasonable things such as stopping someone at the airport. When Greg heard about the stupid things his son had done and the fact that Mr. Alberich had come looking to him to settle the score, he felt disgraced. He was so angry that he almost passed out. After apologizing to Mr. Alberich, he called Ryan and shouted angrily, “Look at what kind of stupid things you’ve done! You should be adapta
“Father, why are you saying that? I don’t want anything. I only want all of you to be unhappy.” The other party’s words were unscrupulously provocative and Greg’s hands trembled in anger. “How did I have such a wicked son like you?!”The other party laughed as he refuted Greg’s words. “Don’t you know the phrase ‘like father, like son’? If you’re calling me wicked, wouldn’t that be equivalent to saying that you’re also wicked?”Greg instantly felt all the blood rushing to his head. Everything before his eyes went dark in his rage and he fainted just like that.His phone call with Ryan just now was not pleasant but it was not to the point of anger. Rowan was too abominable and vicious, and every sentence he spoke struck his heart directly. Fortunately, he was in the hospital and had just come out of Harold’s ward. There were nurses passing by in the corridor and they hurriedly called the doctor to come up and treat him when they saw him lying there. However, Greg’s fainting seem
He tried to log onto her Whatsapp again, but found that he couldn’t. He hurriedly refreshed it several times but found that he still could not log in. She had obviously logged in again on her end and he did not know her password.He was so angry that he took out his cell phone to try to call her but then remembered that he had her cell phone.He scrolled his address book for a long time and finally stopped when he came to a contact named ‘Father-in-law’. Just as he was about to dial, he hung up again in embarrassment. This father-in-law would be better known as a “former” father-in-law. Ryan had long known that his father-in-law did not like him; he would always treat Ryan coldly whenever they met. It was said that his father-in-law was dissatisfied with how Ryan treated his daughter. But how could he treat her well if he did not love her? That would be against his will. What’s more, it was his daughter who insisted on marrying him back then. He did not force her to get married t
Although he did not have a good relationship with his father, he had a very good relationship with his grandfather. The grandson got along more harmoniously with his grandfather than he did his own father, so Ryan listened to what Harold said. When Ryan entered the ward, Greg was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. He was surrounded by a few doctors in white coats who had grim expressions. Nora’s face turned pale. Ryan originally thought that Greg was in serious condition when he saw this scene, so he could not help but feel a little nervous. However, when he looked at Greg, he accidentally caught Greg looking toward the door expectantly through half-closed eyes.Ryan immediately understood what was happening and sneered disdainfully. He felt that Greg’s illness was nothing serious, but he was deliberately making it seem as if it was serious to try to trick Ophelia into coming to visit him.He originally wanted to step forward to expose him directly, but the moment he
“Didn’t the doctor just say it all?” Nora was speechless. The doctor said everything just now, but she did not understand anything at all.Ryan knew that Nora did not understand anything when he saw her expression.That’s right: with her intelligence, it would be amazing if she could understand what was going on. “This illness could be said to be difficult to treat, but at the same time, it can also be treated easily. Am I right, Doctor?”Ryan deliberately raised his voice at the end of his speech so that Greg, who was in the ward, could hear him. He also glanced sideways at the doctors who were smiling awkwardly. Ryan did not say anything else and headed off to deal with the hospitalization procedures. Nora then returned to the ward in a depressed manner. Greg, who was in the ward, had heard his son’s words outside. He knew that his son had seen through him. He was embarrassed and angry, but was also helpless to do anything.When he saw his daughter coming back, he slowl
Evelyn was worried about this, but Rowan did not take it seriously as he said, “This small amount of snow is nothing.”Evelyn was extremely worried. The temperature was so low now, so the road must be icy. The snow was too heavy and would block his sight. Evelyn did not want him to be in any danger, so she suggested in a low voice, “It’s better if you don’t go back.”Rowan looked at her in surprise and smiled as he asked, “Where will I stay if I don’t go back? Do you want me to stay in the car all night?”Evelyn shook her head and said, “Y-You can go home with me.”She had just taken the initiative to invite a man to spend the night at her home. It was truly embarrassing for a shy girl like Evelyn to say these words, but she was willing to do so for his safety.“My mother should be asleep now, and she wakes up later in the morning. We can just leave before she wakes up in the morning.”She explained with a red face, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just don’t want you to be in danger o
She held her cell phone and said hurriedly, “I’ll go down right now.”She ended the call and hurriedly put on her down jacket. She was wearing warm and soft polar fleece home clothes. She did not have time to change, so she simply put on a down jacket and went out. She opened the door and walked out stealthily, out of fear that she would wake Helena up, and Helena would find out that she was going down to meet Rowan in the middle of the night. Helena would surely think that this kind of behavior was inappropriate. When passing by the living room, Evelyn glanced in the direction of Helena’s bedroom. The lights had been turned off, so she was probably asleep. Helena’s physical condition was not as good as it was before the surgery. After all, she was getting older and had undergone craniotomy, which was a major surgery, so she could not keep up mentally and physically. She would go to bed very early at night and wake up late in the morning.After Evelyn left the house quietly, sh
Cassie’s expression turned ugly when she heard Helena’s words. She was shocked and humiliated as she asked in disbelief, “Is it Rowan Pierce?”Cassie knew that it was the Pierces and Matons who were maliciously targeting the Sullivans. Julian and Nora had just gotten married, and it was said that Julian loved Nora very much, so it could not be Julian.As the person in charge of the Pierces, Ryan was a married man as well, and the couple usually kept a low profile and rarely displayed their affection. However, Cassie heard that Ryan’s wife had just given birth to a son, and it was widely known that Ryan was a family man now.Rowan was the only single man, so could it be Rowan?Cassie recalled the scene when she saw Rowan shopping with them in the mall that day. At the time, she wondered why Rowan would be willing to go shopping with them, but now, it seemed that he was there for Evelyn’s sake. Cassie was so stunned when she thought of this that she felt like she would choke on a m
In the end, Natalie was pushed to a dead end and had no choice but to hold a press conference in a hurry. During the press conference, she cried and apologized for the plagiarism and the fact that she had looked for someone to draw a design for her, and announced that she would be quitting the design world.However, few people accepted her apology or showed sympathy for her even though she apologized and admitted her mistakes. The general public opinion was still scolding her in various ways, so Barry simply drove Natalie home and asked her to stay at home to avoid the limelight. One night after Natalie’s incident, Evelyn was accompanying Helena on a stroll in the neighborhood when they ran into Cassie.Natalie’s life had been completely gloomy and dark in the past few days, but Evelyn’s life was stable and practical.Rowan insisted on picked her up from work every morning. If Rowan was at the company at noon, the two would have lunch together. Considering that Helena would be at
Natalie never expected that Rowan would play these dirty tricks behind her back. She did not know that Rowan was best at these tricks. She had cried and begged Barry to plead for mercy on her behalf, but when Barry came back, he told her that there was no room for redemption. She was desperate and was filled with hatred and resentment. Over the years, she had tried every means possible to trample all over Evelyn, but in the end, she was the one who suffered the most and could not turn her life around. Natalie clenched her teeth angrily in hatred as she dug her nails into her palms and tried to calm her emotions. So what if her career in design was ruined? She never truly liked this industry anyway. She had only learned it at the beginning in order to crush Evelyn. She could still do other things even if she did not do design, right? There were so many different industries in this world, so she did not have to make a living in jewelry design. Besides, she was a Stewart, so s
She laughed loudly when she was happy, shed tears when she was sad, never hid her true self, and was a frank and sincere person. Why wouldn’t men like such a girl?Rowan laughed. He did not mean to slander Selena; he was simply analyzing Selena’s current situation from his perspective as a man. Selena might indeed be a good girl in Evelyn’s eyes. After all, Evelyn was a woman who only cared about Selena’s personality, but men paid more attention to a woman’s temperament and charm sometimes. Everyone naturally had their own preferences. For example, Rowan preferred someone simple like Evelyn, whereas some men might prefer someone with a stronger personality like Selena. Evelyn had to call Charles after she could not reach Selena. “Charles, is Selena home? I can’t seem to reach her on her cell phone.”Charles frowned when he heard Evelyn’s words. “She’s not back yet. You can’t reach her on her cell phone?”“I can’t. I tried calling her several times, but her cell phone is switch
He was wrong. He was really wrong. He treated the person he wanted to protect so coldly and harshly. It seemed that he had not been in a relationship for too long that he had forgotten how to love. Fortunately, it only took him this once to understand the crux of his problem. Therefore, he stroked her cheek gently and reassured her in a deep voice, “It won’t happen again.”Evelyn chose to smile slightly in relief in response to his apology and assurance.When two people are together, they need to understand and accommodate each other in terms of personality, temperament, and living habits. Since they had only officially been together for a day, this was even more essential for them. As he said, he was an ordinary man, and she was an ordinary woman. Their relationship was that of an ordinary couple, so it was normal for them to quarrel, have disagreements, and lose their temper. Evelyn felt that there was nothing that could not be solved as long as it did not involve principles
“Getting dinner!” Rowan announced angrily, then he placed her in the passenger seat, got into the car, and drove away. Evelyn had no other objections since they were going to eat. Anyway, she had already called Helena earlier to tell her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight as she would be having dinner with Selena. Not long after the two had gotten into the car and driven out, Selena called and asked Evelyn worriedly, “Evelyn, how did it go? Did you manage to coax him yet?”As Rowan was sitting next to her, Evelyn could not answer whether she had managed to coax him. Therefore, she hesitated without saying anything.When Selena heard this, she knew that they must not have reconciled yet, so she gave her advice on the other end of the line. “It’s fine. There’s no man that can’t be coaxed. Just one kiss will do. If he still can’t be coaxed, give him two kisses. If that doesn’t work, just kiss him all over until he’s no longer angry!”Selena’s voice was loud enough,
Selena’s tone was full of annoyance as she said, “I initially thought of giving Evelyn a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock!”Selena had good intentions as well; she just wanted to introduce the most handsome, stylish, and reliable man that she knew to Evelyn, but it turned out to be self-defeating. As for Shane, who was to be introduced to Evelyn, he simply stood there leisurely the whole time, looking at the three of them as if he was watching a good show. He watched as they got jealous, explained themselves, and felt depressed. Even though both Evelyn and Selena had explained the whole story entirely, Rowan still felt angry and annoyed.After glaring angrily at Evelyn, he simply turned around and walked away.Evelyn and Selena could only exchange glances as they were at a loss for what to do.In the end, Evelyn said to Selena helplessly, “I’ll go and see how he’s doing. You two can enjoy dinner together. I’m sorry.”Evelyn chose to pay attention to Rowan this time an
