CHAPTERS 1071 - 1075






CHAPTER 1071



"Brother Felix, even if your mother told me that you’re gone, even if they had set up this tombstone for you, I still don’t believe that you’re gone.”


Someone had said that Silvia was living in her own delusions, while others said that she was suffering from a mental disorder. Whatever it was, Silvia didn’t care at all.


However, no matter what other people said, she was determined that Felix would never leave her alone in this world. He had just confessed his love to her. They had just fallen in love, and they had their future ahead of them. How could God take him away from her so cruelly?


“Brother Felix, but.”


Once again, when she said his name, Silvia felt a lump in her throat and she couldn’t continue anymore. Tears flowed down uncontrollably, She did not believe that he had left this world, and now, her innocence had been destroyed by that man, Andrew Carter. Even if Felix could come back in the future, how could she face him?


The pure and innocent Silvia no longer existed. Now, she was a girl who had been tarnished and humiliated.


At the end of the day, Silvia could only blame herself. She didn’t know herself well enough. She always thought that she was strong enough to protect everyone around her. However, in the end, she realized that she was a weak person who couldn’t even protect herself.


Silvia wiped her tears and sniffled. “Brother Felix, tell me, what should I do?” 


However, no matter what she asked, she couldn’t get any response. The only sound around her was the sound of her sobbing and birds chirping above her.


The sun was hanging high in the sky. The heat was scorching as if the sun was about to roast all living creatures on Earth. It was noon, and it was the hottest time of the day. There were not many people in the cemetery.


Not far from the colorful tombstone where Silvia was, there was a handsome man in a black shirt.


He stood not far away from Silvia and looked at her face quietly, observing every slight change in her expression.


Looking at her crying, watching her tears falling. his hands hanging by his side clenched into fists. He clenched them so tightly that veins were protruding. 


Dmn it! The anger in him suddenly rose. He never thought that he would be out of control and forcibly possess a woman he didn’t love.


After a long time, Stanley Pierson ran up to the man and gave him a gentle reminder, “Master, it’s so hot out here. You’ve been standing here for more than an hour already. If you keep standing here, you’ll certainly suffer from heatstroke.


Andrew was slightly stunned by Stanley’s words and replied immediately. Take her back immediately, and don’t let her stay here any longer.


Stanley was clear whom Andrew was referring to. He nodded and said, I will have her leave right now.”


“Miss Turner, time’s up. Please return with me. Stanley walked up to Silvia and tried to talk to her as politely as possible. However, no matter how he phrased it, it still did not sound pleasing to the ears.


Silvia turned around and stared at him with a sharp glance. She looked at him and said, “Who are you? Why are you here?”


Stanley was a little embarrassed, but he still needed to do his duty, “Miss Turner, my name is Stanley Pierson. The Master asked me to follow you. It’s so hot out here, please come back with me.


Silvia was not happy. “What’s wrong? Do you really think I’m a criminal? Are you going to follow me around like I’m a criminal on parole?


Stanley explained, “Miss Turner, how can we treat you as a prisoner? In fact, the Master is worried about you, and he.”


“He came along too." Before he could say these words, Stanley turned back to look at the position where Andrew had just stood. There was no one there. Since his Master had left, no matter what he said, Silvia would not believe him. Stanley didn’t want to explain too much either. The more he explained, the sillier he looked. 


“Worried about me?” Silvia laughed, and her laughter sounded sarcastic. “I don’t need a pervert like him to worry about me.” Stanley felt so awkward that he scratched his head and didn’t know what to say next. He could only laugh awkwardly.


Silvia turned around and spoke to the tombstone gently, “Brother Felix, that’s all for today. I’ll visit you another day when I have the time.”


On the way back to the city, Silvia looked out of the window and said, “Mr. Pierson, please bring me to the First People Hospital. I want to visit my mother.”


Stanley glanced at Silvia from the rear-view mirror. His Master’s order was to bring her back home. He did not say anything about taking her to the hospital. 


After thinking for a while, Stanley said, “Miss Turner, you only have so much time to go out everyday. Today, you have used up your quota.


“Used up my quota?” Silvia snorted. She was only granted three hours outside every day. The journey took two hours, so she was only left with one hour of time.


Silvia held the phone tightly and thought of calling Andrew. After contemplating for a while, she decided not to. The thought of hearing his voice made her feel sick and nauseous.


She was weak and powerless. It was her fault that other powerful individuals like Norman could hurt and frame her. It was her fault that she was in the present circumstance,


“Miss Turner, how about tomorrow…" Stanley was about to say something more when his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw a text message. It was from the Master. Stanley would not neglect his Master’s messages. He quickly read it, and there were three simple words – “Let her go."


Let her go!


His Master ordered to let her go, and of course, Stanley would abide. However, he couldn’t take credit for this. He had to let Silvia know that it was his Master’s order.


Stanley smiled and said, “Miss Turner, why don’t I call the Master and ask him?" Silvia did not respond.  How could she understand the mind of that pervert?


Stanley took out his mobile phone and pretended to dial a number quickly. He respectfully expressed his opinion to his Master. Soon, he hung up the phone and said, “Miss Turner, my Master is a very kind person." 


As soon as Stanley said this, Silvia felt that she was listening to the funniest joke in the world. Stanley actually thought so too. Others might not know if their Master was a kind person or not, but the people around him were very clear about what kind of person their Master was. 


Stanley added, “Miss Turner, our Master has agreed to grant you two more hours to go to the hospital to visit your mother."





CHAPTER 1072



Although Silvia was only allowed two hours to visit her mother, but, after chatting with her mother, a few hours passed in the blink of an eye.


Stanley was following his Master’s order to send Silvia to the hospital. His Master didn’t order for Stanley to take her back, and Stanley didn’t dare to make a decision on his own. He just waited at the hospital patiently.


Seeing Silvia finally walking out of the ward, Stanley greeted her hurriedly, “Miss Turner, let’s go back together”


Silvia felt annoyed, “Mr. Pierson, don’t use the word ‘together! You can do whatever you want as we have nothing to do with each other. If you want to go back first, could I stop you?’


Stanley explained, “Miss Turner, I took you to the hospital, so I'll have to bring you back. I can’t go back alone.”


He then raised his wrist to look at the time and said, “Miss Turner, you have been out over the time limit. If you don’t return soon, it would be difficult for you to go out the next time. My Master is not someone to mess with. Even if you don’t care about yourself, you have to think of your mother.”


Silvia raised her eyebrows and looked at him. “You are threatening me!” 


Stanley wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, “Miss Turner, I would not dare threaten you. I’m just telling the truth.”


Stanley did not dare to threaten Silvia. Although he did not know the specific reason why Simon was sent away, he knew that Simon’s departure must have had something to do with her.


Their Master attached so much importance to this woman. Unless Stanley wanted to end up like Simon, he would try not to offend anyone, especially Silvia.


Stanley knew very well that he couldn’t mess with the woman in front of him, and his Master who controlled his fate was even more so.


After weighing the pros and cons, Stanley felt that he had the obligation to tell Silvia about the seriousness of the matter. That was why his words sounded like a threat to Silvia.


Silvia smiled bitterly. “Mr. Pierson, what are you waiting for? Don’t you want to go back?”


Silvia had to admit that Stanley’s words hit her deeply. Yes, Silvia didn’t need to care about her own life or death, but she cared about her mother a lot. She could not let her mother get hurt because of her. Although she didn’t want to go back to Andrew's villa, she had no other choice.


She needed to return.


She could only wait until Andrew grew bored of her one day, so he would ask her to get lost!


Stanley drove the car into the yard and stopped the car. “Miss Turner, we’re here.”


Silvia was brought back to reality and said, ‘So fast?


Since she was so reluctant to come back, it was painful to stay here for even a minute. Silvia felt that time passed so fast. She felt that she had just gotten into the car.


Auntie Cherry had been waiting at the door for a long time. When she saw Silvia coming back, she greeted her with a smile. “Miss Turner, you’re finally back.” 


Silvia smiled and said, “Your Master sent his most loyal subordinate to follow me. I fear my life would be in danger if I don’t return with him.”


Auntie Cherry felt bad for Silvia, so she could only smile awkwardly and said, “Miss Turner, I made some soup. I’ll prepare a bowl for you.”


Silvia said, “Auntie Cherry, thank you! But I have eaten dinner, so I’m quite full now.


Auntie Cherry continued, “Miss Turner, the Master asked you to go to his study when you come back. He has something to discuss with you.”


“He wants me to come and see him at his study? On my own?’' Silvia was startled. Her heart skipped a beat. She was so afraid that she broke out in a cold sweat. No matter her willingness, she would never forget what happened in the study that day. She would not forget how the beast, Andrew, tortured her.


Auntie Cherry tried to reach out to her again, “Miss Turner.."


Silvia came to her senses and clenched her fists quietly to suppress the fear in her heart. She nodded and said, “Auntie Cherry, I’ll find him later. It’s getting late, so you should go to bed early. I’m going back to my room too.”


Auntie Cherry took good care of her, so Silvia would not be hostile toward her.


There was only one person she hated, and that was the man who destroyed all her hopes and dreams. 


She didn’t have the courage to go to his study alone. She didn’t dare to go, and she didn’t want to go, elther. Therefore, Silvia went back to her room.


Silvia opened the door. Unexpectedly, there was a person standing in the room. He stood by the window, with his hands clasped behind his back. He was looking out of the window. 


As she saw him, Silvia retreated instinctively, and in an instant, her whole body froze. “What do you want?”


Andrew turned around slowly and looked at her. He looked at her from head to toe. After a long time, he pointed to the document on the dressing table and said, “Take a look. If you have no objection, sign it”


“Sign it again?’ Silvia heard his words and broke out in a scornful laugh. “Andrew, don’t you f*cking dare push my limits! Do you think I’ll sign anything you want me to sign?”


Andrew frowned and didn’t say anything more. However, he looked like he was thinking deeply.


Silvia roared in a fit of fury, “Andrew Carter! Get out of here! Get lost! I don’t want to ftcking see you again!” 


Suddenly, Andrew walked to her side. He grabbed her hand and said, Silvia, do you think you’re the only one who was hurt?”


Silvia was shocked by his gloomy look. She stared at him and felt confused. Suddenly, Andrew continued, “You lost your first time, so did I. You wanted to keep your first time to your beloved person, so did I. Don’t think that only a woman’s first time is sacred. It’s the same for men.”


Silvia kept quiet.


What did she just hear him say? She was utterly shocked by his words.


Under Silvia’s startled gaze, Andrew continued to speak, “Silvia, that incident happened unexpectedly. No matter how we try to run away from it, it has already happened. So, I have thought of a way to compensate you.” 


Silvia shook his hand off and said, “You want to compensate me? How? Can you treat this as if nothing had happened? Are you going to return a complete hymen to me?”


Silvia shook her head and continued, “Andrew, you should know this better than I do. Some things can’t be undone.” 


Andrew turned around, picked up the file on the dresser, and forced it to Silvia. “This is a marriage agreement. I will marry you as compensation for your loss.”


Andrew thought of this as the best compensation for Silvia. He had ruined Silvia’s innocence, and he could not protect the beloved woman in his heart anymore. Getting together with Silvia was the best solution for both of them. He thought that Silvia had no reason to reject this offer. After all, what he had given her would be much more than she had imagined.


“Marriage agreement?” Silvia grabbed the document and slapped it on his face. “Do you think I would marry you, a rapist?






CHAPTER 1073



Silvia, don’t make things harder for us!” Andrew  looked at her and said angrily. “No matter what, you would have to sign it. Even if you don’t want to sign it, you would still have to sign it. You do not have an option.”


“Huh. Andrew, kill me if you want to, but I won’t compromise on this!” What the hell? Perhaps Andrew could forget what he had done to Silvia, but she would never forget that he was a r*pist.


This scumbag, rubbish, animal, and pervert. She felt disgusted being around him. And now, he even proposed to marry her! 


“In his dreams!" She scoffed in her heart Silvia was never a kind person, nor would she be a little lamb at the mercy of others. She would never marry this beast that had ruined her innocence and destroyed her dreams.


“Is that so?” Andrew smiled coldly and turned around. He walked out confidently, “Silvia, I’ll only give you until tonight. If you miss this opportunity. there’s no second chance. Don’t come begging tomorrow!"


“Beg you? Wow, Young Master Carter, sure, you can wait for the day I’ll come begging.” But as soon as she said those words, Silvia regretted it. It was not that she changed her mind, but because she sensed something from Andrew's smile as he turned away.


Silvia couldn’t discern how Andrew was trying to deal with her, but when she remembered why she was still in his home, she understood instantly.


Andrew, this animal, could threaten her with her mother’s safety once, so naturally, he would do it again. Since he seized her weakness, Andrew could use this tactic to pin her down.


This man had no humanity and no moral boundaries. Plus, he had power and influence, Going up against him was like throwing an egg against a stone. Everyone knew what the consequences would be.


Therefore, the moment when Andrew stepped out of the door, Silvia rushed in front of him and said, “Andrew, what do you plan to do?”


She would no longer believe that such a man who was this unpredictable and inhuman would really want to compensate her for her loss! He answered, “To compensate you!”


She gritted her teeth and said, “If you really want to compensate me, let me go, and we could part ways. This is the biggest compensation for me.”


Andrew reached out to her suddenly, played with her hair, and sniffed it. He whispered evilly, " I’m mesmerized by the scent of you. I don’t want to let you go.”


“You damned pervert! Don’t touch me, it’s disgusting!” Silvia wanted to step back, but Andrew grabbed her waist. “You damn pervert! Let go of me!” 


His eyes suddenly sank. “Silvia, don’t play hard-to-get. I don’t have time to play tricks with you. If I ask you to sign it, you’d better sign it obediently. Don’t challenge my patience again and again."


“What are you talking about? Silvia was so angry that she raised her voice. “Andrew, who the hell is playing hard-to-get here?” 


What an arrogant and selfish man. Did he really think that she wanted to stick with him?! That she wanted to have a relationship with him? This was incredulous.


Andrew looked at her gloomily and said in a low voice, “Silvia, I... I’m not a man you can afford to offend”


He sounded so intimidating that Silvia did not dare refute. She could only let him hold her in his arms. Silvia believed that her life was in his hands. If she did not listen to him, he might break her neck in the next second.


As she thought about how she could lose her life so easily, Silvia was so scared that her body trembled, she broke into a cold sweat. She was so weak that she didn’t even have the strength to stand firmly. “You. . I’ll sign it."


He reached out and touched her face. He pinched her face gently and said with a faint smile, “Silvia, if you signed it earlier, it would have been much easier. Insisting on negotiating something that was far beyond your reach, that’s not courage, that’s stupidity.


“Yes, yes, yes. You must be right, Master Carter." Silvia answered with a sweet smile, but deep down, she felt so helpless that she would rather be dead. However, she still agreed with him.


A wise person would know when to attack or retreat, whom he could or couldn’t offend, and what he should say in front of others.


Therefore, Silvia put her defences down and put on a lovely smile. “Young Master Carter, you’ve taught me a good lesson. I’ll do whatever you say in the future. I've learned my place."


Andrew let go of her and kept a distance from her. He didn’t say anything else.


Silvia glanced at him and picked up the document that she had thrown on the ground obediently. She signed and even stamped her fingerprint on the document. “Young Master Carter, I did what you asked me to do. Are you satisfied now?”


Andrew took the document over and looked at it. " I’m not satisfied!” 


Silvia thought that he was making things hard deliberately. “What on earth do you want me to do?”


Damn it! She really wanted to rush over and bite this man to death. No, biting him meant that she would dirty her teeth, so maybe, she should trample on him to kill him.


Andrew spoke while walking away, “There is a set of clothes on your bed. Come to my study after changing into it."


Silvia was so angry that she waved her fists behind him. “It’s so late. Why should I go to your study?” 


“Don’t think too much. You’re not sexually attracted to me” Andrew suddenly turned back and said, “By the way, you only have five minutes. If I don’t see you in five minutes, you’ll bear the consequences.


“B*stard! Scumbag! You perverti” Silvia was so angry that she stamped her legs. However, she kicked the dressing table accidentally. She shouted because of the pain.


“Ouch!”


How many bad things had she done in her past life? Why would God bully her like this in this life?


The clothes Andrew prepared for her was actually just a white shirt. Silvia didn’t understand why he asked her to wear this. However, she had to wear this no matter how reluctant she was.


Silvia’s face was beautiful and delicate, and her skin was fair and smooth. Hence, although it was just a plain shirt, she still looked stunning. Well, Silvia knew she was pretty, but the looks and reactions that others gave her when she walked into the study reinforced her belief.


In the study, besides Andrew, there were also a few other men in suits who looked so serious. When Silvia appeared, their eyes fell on her and couldn’t look away.


The look on their faces was like a pack of hungry wolves who had starved for days and finally saw some delicious roast chicken served in front of their faces. They were drooling,


Silvia felt as if she was helpless prey walking into a den full of predators.






CHAPTER 1074



Their gazes made Silvia feel ashamed. She said to herself, “These men may look normal, but in fact, they are just wolves hiding in sheep fur!”


Under everyone’s gaze, Silvia came to the conclusion that all men were the same. No man would stay calm when a beautiful woman was around. This was especially true for the Young Master of the Carter family. He looked so elegant, stern, and aloof. Who knew how many vile things he had done behind his back?


He was the worst trash amongst the scumbags!


“Everyone, can we start now?” Andrew spoke unhappily as he stood in front of Silvia, blocking the lustful gaze of the men in the room.


Perhaps it was a man’s instinct. He didn’t like how others were looking at his woman so lustfully. It didn’t matter if he liked her genuinely or not.


The men came back to their senses after hearing Andrew's words. Some of them coughed deliberately to cover up their embarrassment, while others pretended to adjust the glasses on the bridge of their noses and look at the documents in their hands.


There was a man who looked relatively calm compared to others, and he answered, “Mr. Carter, we are ready. We can start anytime."


Andrew's eyes were gloomy and he seemed to be unhappy, but he didn’t lose his temper. He nodded and said, “Let’s proceed.” 


The man said again, “Mr. Carter, could you sit together with Miss Turner? We need a photo of the two of you for the registration.


“Photo? What photo?” Silvia was a little confused. Then, she noticed that Andrew had also changed into a clean and neat white shirt too. 


No one responded to her. Andrew ushered Silvia to sit on a chair while she was confused. Andrew then sat next to her.


Silvia didn’t like him getting too close to her. She wanted to get up and leave, but Andrew held her waist. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Be obedient and cooperate with me”


She felt his warm breath around her neck and she trembled slightly. She adjusted herself and said, “Andrew, are you planning on selling me?”


Andrew put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer, showing a strong sense of dominance. “If this is what you want, I can fulfill your wish”


Silvia tried to elbow his waist. However, he reacted quickly and she didn’t manage to hurt him. Instead, he pinched her strongly. He gripped her wrist, and he didn’t let go. The pain was so great that Silvia wanted to curse him out loud, but she didn’t dare to do so. She blinked her eyes at him, begging him to let go of her.


The staff spoke again, “Mr. Carter, Miss Turner, please take a look at the camera. It’s best if you two can smile, then the photo will look better."


Andrew smiled, but his smile appeared a little stiff, looking fake at first glance, Silvia didn’t want to smile, but Andrew put his hand on her waist and pinched her hard. She was forced to smile. From the photo, it was obvious that she was unwilling to smile too.


The staff felt very awkward as he looked at the photo. “Mr. Carter, Miss Turner, I think we can do better. Would you like to try another one?” 


“There’s no need too!” Andrew and Silvia said simultaneously. How rare it was that they were of the same opinion!


“Well, please wait for a minute” Several staff members worked together to print the photos and validate them. Soon, two copies of the marriage certificate were handed over to Andrew and Silvia.


“What. what’s this?” The words “marriage certificate” were obvious, but Silvia was not willing to believe what was happening.


She took the certificate and read it again and again, hoping that someone would tell her that everything was a joke. She was hoping that this was not real and it might be something else.


However, no one corrected the document, nor her confusion, and what the staff said next made her heart sink.


The staff spoke seriously, “Mr. Carter, the registration procedure tonight is in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Your marriage takes effect from now on. I now pronounce you man and wife.”


“What the f*ck, who are you guys? What are you doing?” Silvia lost her cool and forgot that she had to cooperate well with Andrew, When she lost her temper, it was hard to hold her back.


The staff replied, “Miss Turner, oh sorry, I meant. Mrs. Carter. Mrs. Carter, we are staff from Madison City’s Civil Affairs Bureau. Mr. Carter invited us over to legalize this marriage."


"Civil Affairs Bureau? Does the Civil Affairs Bureau provide door-to-door service? Do you think I’m a three-year-old child? Would I believe what you said?” As she spoke, she looked at a very calm Andrew. Instantly, Silvia pieced the puzzles together. As the saying goes, money may not solve all your problems, but it could solve most of it. 


With Andrew's power and his father’s influence in Madison City, it was probably nothing for him to hire the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau over for a special service but Silvia was absolutely not willing to become the legal wife of this scum. 


This meant that he could do whatever he wanted to her in the future. Silvia was so angry that she shouted, “Try calling me Mrs. Carter again. I’ll beat you up. I’m the one who got married. Why didn’t I know that you’ve already gotten the marriage certificate? I’m warning you, annul this right away, or I’ll pay a visit to the office and destroy all of you.” 


Silvia had suddenly become someone else’s wife in just a few minutes. She did not consent to this.


But the staff continued to explain, “Mrs. Carter..." The staff was also helpless. They came to fulfill a request but ended up being threatened with a complaint. They looked at Jayden for help. Andrew looked at Silvia and simply ignored them.


Silvia was getting increasingly furious. “I didn’t agree to get married. How could this marriage certificate be real and in effect? How could it be legal? How did he and I become legal husband and wife?" 


'“How? Let me explain” Andrew waved his hand to signal for the staff to leave.


He approached Silvia and spoke in her ear. “I want it! So, I’ll do whatever I want!”


“You.” Silvia raised her hand and wanted to slap him. However, just like before, Andrew quickly grabbed her hand hard. 


Andrew's reaction was always quicker than that Silvia could expect. This person seemed to have received years of combat training, and his reflexes were incredibly quick. He said coldly, “Silvia, stop being so defensive. No one is playing house with you! You can’t change the fact that we’re legally wedded. Even if I die, you will still be my wife.”






CHAPTER 1075



“Playing house? Did you think I wanted to play with you?” Silvia endured the pain in her arm and shouted without fear, “Even looking at you makes me feel disgusted.


Andrew's face turned gloomy and veins has protruded on his forehead. He didn’t expect her to say something like this.


Silvia struggled hard and tried to get rid of his hand. “Andrew, I would rather die than to be with you”


Andrew increased his strength over her even more. His eyes looked like they were flaming up as he said, “Silvia, don’t be ungrateful.” 


Silvia tried to hold back and be submissive. In order to protect her mother, she tried her best to comply Andrew's arrangement, but she was also hot-tempered. She couldn’t control herself once she became angry. 


“Ungrateful? So, in your opinion, it’s my honor to have my name on your marriage certificate?”


Andrew frowned, “Isn’t it that?”


“Oh.. You’re so arrogant. Do you think that just because you have a rich father, all the women in the world would want to be with you?” Silvia then lowered her head and bit the back of his hand. 


When he let go of her hand in pain, she quickly turned around, grabbed the marriage certificate on the desk and tore it into pieces mercilessly.


Looking at the torn certificate, Silvia felt so happy that she could stand up for herself. “I hereby announce that we are not married."


Marriage certificate? F*ck it.


How could one legalize marriage just like that? She didn’t believe it. She wanted to see what tricks they would play next.


“Do you think that the certificate was enough to prove the legality of our marriage?’ Andrew smiled coldly, as if laughing at her childishness. "Since our dear Mrs. Carter enjoys tearing up marriage certificates, then I'll order a thousand more copies so you could tear them to your heart’s content.”


Silvia was taken aback. “You.”


She had used all her tricks, but Andrew, the b*stard, still didn’t let go of her. It seemed that he was pushing her into a dead end.


She tried a different trick. She tried to talk to him and reason with him. “Young Master Carter, we are all mature adults here. Can’t we just be reasonable?"


He did not interrupt her, which meant that he wanted her to continue. Silvia glanced at him and continued, “Look, your family is rich and powerful, and you are very attractive. Whichever woman you like, I can guarantee that she would also like you. Why would you want to get entangled with me?”


"The woman I like will like me too?” As he heard this sentence, Andrew thought that Silvia was mocking him. Over the years, he had done everything he wanted to do, except getting the affection from the woman he loved. Instead, he watched helplessly as she was about to become someone else’s bride.


Silvia seemed to have read something bitter in his eyes and asked immediately. “Do you have a girl you really like?”


Seeing that Silvia was trying to pry into his mind, Andrew put his defenses back up. “Does it have anything to do with you?” 


Silvia murmured, “You forced me to sign a marriage certificate. I’m just asking curiously if you have a woman you fancy. It’s not too much compared to what you did."


Andrew asked, “Do you like me?”


" I would rather like anyone else than a person like you!” Silvia blurted out without thinking. After that, she thought of something. “Do you mean to say that you like me?”


What a joke!


Even if he admitted it, she would not believe it. She could see from his eyes that he despised her and looked down on her.


“Like you? Which part of you is worthy of a man’s love?” Andrew's tongue was as sharp as Silvia’s. He still hid the secret in his heart. “Follow what I say and stop fooling around. If not, watch what I can do.”


He didn’t have any time for any arguments, and he didn’t have the time to fool around with Silvia. The marriage registration was done. Silvia could never regret it, unless it was over Andrew's dead body. Silvia said provocatively, “What would you do? Why don’t you just strangle me? If you could, just strangle me. Otherwise, don’t f*cking try to threaten me. Do you think I’m easily frightened?”


“You…" This woman had a glib tongue. Since she could not be reasoned with, Andrew did not want to continue further. 


“What?” Silvia was very happy that he got angry. She felt that she was winning. He wasn’t the only one with the right to bully! Why should she listen to him about everything?


She was also a human, a person who loved freedom and had self-worth. Why should she be bullied by this b*stard? She didn’t want to continue this!


No matter what Andrew wanted to do with her, she would fight until the end. She would never be a coward again. If he had the ability, he could just kill her off.


However, at the next moment, Silvia was afraid. This man would not kill her, but he could torment her cruelly, and she wouldn’t be able to fight back.


What happened in the study two days ago was still vivid in her mind. The wounds on her body had not healed yet. Suddenly, Andrew grabbed Silvia into his embrace.


His strength was so great and he held her tightly in his arms. Her body was tightly pressed against his, and she could even feel every solid muscle on his body clearly.


It was forceful, overbearing, and rough just like the last time… Silvia seemed to feel that something terrible was going to happen next.


“You. What do you want to do?” Because she had gone through such a terrifying experience previously, Silvia was so scared that she was trembling. 


“What do I want to do? Do I need to report it to you?” He knew that she was afraid. She was not pretending, as she was genuinely really afraid of him.


Unconsciously, the strength that constrained her had been reduced a little.


“Don’t. She bit her lip as if she was suffering. “Dont.. please don’t hurt me again!”


Tears fell from the corner of her eyes inadvertently. Seeing a beautiful woman cry, Andrew's heart softened, he could not bear to torment her further.


Moreover, Andrew was not really going to do anything to her. He just wanted her to shut up and have her accept the fact that they were husband and wife.


“Then please lower your defenses. Be obedient to me.” Andrew was talking, and suddenly, Silvia lifted her leg and kicked him in his private part. Andrew didn’t expect that Silvia could still attack him despite being so scared.


This woman was so bold that she shocked him. He had let down his guard against her, which was why this came unexpectedly.


He had almost had his fertility threatened by her assault! He instinctively reached out to cover his groin with his hands, and his face turned extremely gloomy, fuming with anger.

CHAPTER 1066



“Doctor, I am a family member of the patient in ward number 809. Can you tell me how she is doing now?” After her mother had fallen asleep. Silvia went to look for her mother’s attending doctor.


“You’re Miss Turner, aren’t you?” The old doctor, who was about 60 years old, adjusted the glasses on his nose bridge and looked up at Silvia. He pointed to the opposite seat and said, “Have a seat. I’ll explain to you in detail.”


“Doctor…” Looking at the doctor’s serious expression, Silvia was a little flustered. “Doctor, how bad is my mother’s condition?”


The doctor handed Mrs. Turner’s medical records to Silvia. “Miss Turner, as her daughter, don’t you know anything about your mother’s health?”


“ I….” The doctor’s words made Silvia realize that her mother’s condition should be much worse than she had expected, but she had no clue how bad it was.


She was so anxious that she grabbed the doctor’s hand and said, “Doctor, no matter what, please help my mother.”


The doctor patted her hand and said, “Miss Turner, your mother is suffering from a chronic illness. It could be a mild case, or it could also be critical. Most importantly, she needs extra care from her family. As her daughter, your role is paramount to her well-being. If your mother is to ever recover fully from this, it would really depend on your efforts.”


After her father’s accident, her mother had fallen ill. Silvia knew that the reason for her mother’s illness was because of her father’s sudden death. She had not recovered after such a long time because Silvia did not take good care of her.


The doctor explained again, “But, you don’t have to worry too much, Miss Turner. There is a group of voluntary psychologists in our hospital. They will help the patients who need help for free. With their help and your care, I believe that Mrs. Turner will be cured soon.”


After listening to the doctor’s advice, Silvia was moved and thanked him repeatedly, “Doctor, thank you! Thank the volunteers too.”


What volunteer is she thankful for?


How could the most famous psychologist in Madison City have the time to be a volunteer? His consultation charges must be pricey, and ordinary people would not be able to afford it at all.


Of course, the doctor knew who the psychologist was, but he didn’t say it. He didn’t dare to say it because he was told to keep his mouth shut about the information. Therefore, the doctor had to continue with his act. “Your mother lives in the luxury ward. Every ward has special caretakers assigned. Miss Turner, you can go on with your day and do whatever you want to do. Just remember to come to the hospital to accompany the patient when you’re free.”


“Thank you, doctor!” It was comfortable to live in the luxury ward, but she was financially tight now. “Doctor, how about the hospital expenses?”


The doctor explained, “Miss Turner, you don’t have to worry about this. Someone has already paid the hospitalization expenses on your mother’s behalf.”


Silvia asked, “Doctor, who paid for the expenses?”


The doctor said, “The person who paid didn’t give his name. The administrative staff over at the payment counter has no idea too.”


The doctor didn’t know, but Silvia could guess that since Andrew had arranged for her mother to be in the hospital, he must have covered the medical expenses.


Silvia was a grateful person. As soon as she walked out of the doctor’s office, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Andrew, “Mr. Carter, thank you!”


She should really thank him.


If he hadn’t appeared in her life and helped her so much, she really didn’t know how to deal with this unfortunate series of events.


Ding-dong…


When Andrew was listening to Simon’s update on Norman, his mobile phone on the desk suddenly rang. He took a glance and saw “Silvia” displayed on the screen.


He picked it up and looked through the message, “Mr. Carter, thank you!”


“This woman still had some conscience,” he thought to himself. She was not the kind of woman who would repay kindness with ingratitude. 


He put his mobile phone down and motioned Simon to continue. Simon said, “Young Master, the evidence of Norman plotting the murder was certain. Plus, he is charged with illegal usage of guns. This time, he will definitely be thrown into prison.”


Andrew nodded with satisfaction and said, “Very good. Follow up with the case personally, I don’t want any accident to happen.”


Simon reassured him, “Yes.”


Andrew waved his hand, indicating Simon to leave. However, Simon stood still and said worriedly, “Young Master, it’s getting late. It’s time to rest.”


Andrew said, “I’ll rest after reading the documents.” 


Simon persuaded carefully, “Young Master, you should take good care of your body. You are still young, so you should start taking care of yourself. There’s more to life than work.”


Besides, his Master had old injuries that would hurt from time to time, which meant that his health condition was more vulnerable.


“Don’t worry.” Andrew raised his eyebrows impatiently. This time, before Andrew spoke, Simon did not dare to say anything more and left the room quietly.


However, what Andrew was looking at wasn’t the work documents. Instead, he was looking at a couple of wedding photos.


In the photo, the young, beautiful lady and the handsome man looked at each other with deep affection in their eyes.


She looked more beautiful than before. There was more maturity and gentleness in her eyes. She looked as happy as a child on Christmas morning,


The same was true for the man standing with her. He was calm and reserved, yet his eyes looked like they were full of infatuation and contentment.


After learning that she was about to get married, Andrew tried to resist the news, but he still couldn’t control himself and secretly found her wedding photos.


Three years had passed. However, he still found himself daydreaming. He wondered how good it would be if the man standing in front of her was him.


Bang…


Suddenly, Andrew swept his hand across his work table angrily and the glass cup fell off the table, smashing into pieces.


“D*mn it!”


He had been thinking about her for so many years. In the end, she had become someone else’s wife and showed no mercy to his affection.


She never cared about his feelings.


Simon, who was guarding outside the door, wanted to go in and have a look when he heard the sound of glass shattering. However, just as he was about to knock on the door, he took a step back.


He didn’t dare to walk into the room, especially at a time like this. He understood why his Master was angry.


Simon couldn’t understand why his Master had done so many things for a woman who had never taken him seriously. He even almost lost his life for her. Was it really worth it?


Anyway, personally, he felt that it was not worth it. Not worth it at all. However, Simon knew that his Master did not share the same sentiments as him. He was willing to do anything to make Miss Janell Joy happy.


Simon placed his ear against the door gently. If his master did something rash again, he could stop him in time. However, after a long time, he didn’t hear anything else.


Simon was still worried about him and did not dare to leave, who stayed outside the door until midnight. He only went back to his room to rest when he was almost falling asleep.


He knew that this night was definitely a long, sleepless night for his Master.






CHAPTER 1067



It was early in the morning.


There were many trees planted in the area, so the air around the villa seemed to be much fresher.


After getting off the taxi, Silvia strolled along the green avenue and enjoyed the fresh air. Soon, she walked to her destination.


Standing at the gate of the villa, just when Silvia was hesitating to ring the doorbell, the guard opened the door “Miss Turner, please come in.


“Thank you.” After Silvia entered, she didn’t see anyone at all. She didn’t know if Andrew was already up. Was it appropriate for her to come at this time?


Alas, she wanted to fulfil her promise. She promised him that she would come here early in the morning. Hence, she packed up and came over early.


Silvia didn’t think too much. She went straight to the main lounge. As she walked, a person came in front of her. It was the person Silvia didn’t like very much, Simon Banks. Seeing her, Simon was also a little surprised. “Miss Turner, why are you here so early?”


No matter how much she disliked Simon, Silvia still greeted him politely. “Good morning, Mr. Banks!”


Simon did not know what happened between Silvia and Andrew yesterday. He asked again, “Miss Turner, why are you here so early?”


“Did you think I want to be here?”


Silvia really wanted to reply this to him, but she restrained herself.


She said, “Mr. Banks, since you don’t want to see me, I will go back.” If Andrew asked her about it, he could not blame her for not keeping her promise.


Simon stopped her immediately. “Miss Turner, since you’re here, please do me a favor.”


Silvia looked at him warily. “What favor?”


Simon said, “My Young Master is in the study. Could you please take a look at him?”


Silvia thought that Andrew had gotten up early in the morning and was busy with his work. She sighed, “Your Young Master has a rich and powerful father, why does he still work so hard? He’s making poor people like us look bad.”


Hearing Silvia’s words, Simon’s face turned pale. He asked firmly, “Miss Turner, where did you hear that?”


Silvia rolled her eyes at him, “Why do you sound so angry? The Old Master of your family is rich and powerful. Everyone in Madison City knows that. It’s not a secret. What’s wrong with that?”


“Everyone in Madison City knows about it?” Simon thought for a moment. 


The old gentleman Silvia mentioned sounded like a misunderstanding from poor rumours, and she was not referring to the person in charge of Shengtian. Simon realized that he was defensive too quickly. 


Simon followed Andrew when he started his business. They had never mentioned their relationship with the Carter family to the public. The Young Master even used a pseudonym for official matters. The public would not know their relationship with the Carter family of Shengtian.


Simon added, “Miss Turner, Young Master’s study is in the second room on the second floor. You can bring him the breakfast prepared by Auntie Cherry.”


Silvia replied reluctantly, “Okay.”


“Thump-Thump!”


After knocking on the door twice, no one answered the door.


Silvia knocked again, but there was still no response. These people were playing with her, weren’t they?


They asked her to bring the breakfast to Andrew, but he was not responding. Was she treated like a monkey? Silvia took a deep breath and told herself to just bear with all these. After all, she was staying under their roof, so she had no other choice.


“Thump-Thump!”


“Mr. Carter, can I come in?” She knocked on the door patiently again, but just like before, there was no response. She couldn’t bear it anymore. She turned the door handle around and broke in. 


“Andrew Carter, you’re fooling around with me, aren’t you?" 


As soon as the door was opened, Silvia coughed a few times because of the strong smell of cigarettes.


In the study, the windows were shut and the lights were turned off. It was so dark that she could not even see Andrew's face clearly despite him sitting at the desk. 


Silvia hated the smell of cigarettes so much that she wanted to turn around and leave. However, she came here with a task, so she thought of just passing his breakfast over to him quickly. 


She walked to his desk, placed the breakfast on the desk, and then she took the cigarette butt from his hand. “Andrew, why are you smoking so much so early in the morning?”


Andrew did not respond to her. He looked up at her as if he was looking at a person he had known for a long time. However, at the same time, he seemed to be looking at a stranger.


“Stop smoking. Let’s have breakfast.” Silvia put the cigarette.out in the ashtray and pointed to the food on the tray.


“Auntie Cherry has prepared a nutritious breakfast for you. It’s good for your health.”


Silvia was not a meddlesome person, but she just couldn’t stand seeing a person who didn’t care about his health so much. “This is your body. If you don’t take care of yourself, will others care about you?”


It’s saddening how many people wouldn’t take good care of their health when they were healthy, and when they got sick or weak, it would be too late then.


He still stared at her without blinking, as if he had fixed his eyes on her. Silvia was taken aback by his stare. “Why are you looking at me? No matter what you think of me, I meant what I said.”


“You…” Andrew opened his mouth but could not utter a complete sentence.


“What?” Silvia took a small step back and pointed to the breakfast on the table. “Have your breakfast. If you don’t eat it soon, it will turn cold.”


“You’re here!” After a long while, Andrew said these words in a hoarse voice.


“I am a good and honest person. I said I would come back.” Silvia looked at the table littered with cigarette butts and frowned. “Why do you smoke so much? Are you really done with being alive?”


“You’re finally here!” Andrew suddenly reached out and pulled Silvia to sit on his lap.


Silvia was so scared that she screamed, “Andrew, what are you doing? Let me go, or I won’t show you mercy.” 


This man must be out of his mind. He once despised her for being dirty, but now he was hugging her so closely.


“Since you are here, how can I let you go?” Andrew held her tight and said in a deep voice, “Do you know how long I have been waiting for you?”


Silvia struggled, trying to break free. However, Andrew's hands were like iron pliers that held her tightly. She could not move at all. “Didn’t I send you a message last night? I told you that if you could give me a few hours, I will definitely come back.”


“I’ve been waiting for you for too long.” As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her.


The overbearing kiss caught her off guard. Silvia struggled desperately. However, she could not break free, and her actions made him go crazier and act more dominantly. He was like a mad beast that could swallow her at any time.


“Mmm.” Silvia’s tongue was almost numb from this crazy beast’s kiss, and she could only whimper as if she was crying. She fussed around and tried to kick him, but she couldn’t move at all. He continued to hold her tightly.


After a while, he finally let go of her. She could finally breathe, but something even more terrible happened. While she was completely caught off guard, Andrew placed her on his desk. He then ripped the thin t-shirt off her body.






CHAPTER 1068



“Andrew Carter, you’re a lunatic! Have you gone crazy? Do you know what you’re doing?”


Silvia tried to push him away with all her strength, but she was much weaker than him. She struggled for a long time but did not manage to push him away at all.


“You came here willingly.” Andrew reached out his fingers to pinch her lips and whispered in her ear, “This time, I will not let you go!”


He once let her go, deciding to fulfill her wishes. However, this time, she had returned willingly, so he could not be blamed for seizing the opportunity,


“D*mn it, what do you mean by I came here willingly? Do you think I’m willing to come to this damn place?” Silvia was in a panic and was at a loss. She was nearly naked in front of.him.


“Isn’t it so?” He smiled gently.


Yes, Silvia saw tenderness in his eyes. His smile also looked so genuine at this moment. It didn’t look as fake as usual. She had not seen him smiling so happily before. 


Silvia panicked even more because she couldn’t understand him and could not figure out what was going through his mind. She stretched out her leg in panic, but before she could kick him, he caught her foot.


“Be good, don’t fool around!” He pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and bit her lips. “Enjoy this. You’d like what I’m about to do.”


“Pervert! I’m not sick. How can I like anything a pervert like you will do!” For the first time, Silvia clearly knew that the disparity in strength between a man and a woman was so huge. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape from his clutches.


“You don’t like me?” Andrew's face changed, and he looked at her gloomily. “Then tell me, who do you like? The man Cooper or Collins?”


“No matter Cooper or Collins, it’s none of your business. Does that matter?” Silvia couldn’t get rid of him. She opened her mouth and bit his shoulder mercilessly, trying to scare him away.


However, he didn’t seem to feel anything. Even though he was bleeding from her bite, he did not push her away.


In the end, Silvia was tired of biting. Just as she was about to look at him, she heard him speak confidently, “You hurt me. Then, don’t blame me for hurting you.”


“Ah!”


At this moment, there was only one word in Silvia’s mind – pain.


Silvia had never known that there would be such a pain, which hurt more than getting beaten up. The pain was worse than what she had ever suffered in the past. A searing pain, the feeling of tearing and rubbing… 


It was something she had never experienced before. At this moment, it was as if she was experiencing a disaster in her life.


“D*mn it!” Silvia gritted her teeth and clenched her fists to bear the tremendous pain that she had never experienced before.


In front of her, Andrew was like a beast, biting and devouring her again and again. In the end, she lost all consciousness…


“Ouch..”


After turning her body over gently, Silvia screamed in pain. She seemed to be dreaming of a terrible and cruel nightmare.


In the dream, the man named Andrew Carter bullied her, and even…


No, this was not a dream.


If it were a dream, the pain in her body would not be so real.


Silvia opened her eyes and saw that it was dark around her. She could not even see her fingers, so she could not see anything else clearly.


She had no idea where she was and what time it was. The only thing she knew was that her body felt like it was falling apart, and it was painful for her to move.


Perhaps it was not just because of the physical pain, but she was also tortured psychologically. Her mental state was on the verge of collapse.


Silvia had never thought that her virginity would be taken away like this. The pain buried itself deep into her bones! It hurt so much and was traumatizing that she would never forget it! 


“You’re awake!” Suddenly, a deep male voice came from the darkness.


“You…” Silvia was too familiar with this voice. It was him. It.was he who tormented her. She had lost her precious virginity which she had treasured for nearly twenty years. 


All of a sudden, Silvia was dumbstruck. She laughed at herself for being so stupid, and also how pathetic her fate was. 


She knew that there was no free lunch in the world..She didn’t expect that after experiencing the betrayal of the Turner family, she would be so foolish to believe that a strange man would help her sincerely.


Because he had dealt with Norman to save her and also helped her save her mother, she lowered her guard and believed that he was a good person. However, she had never thought that maybe all this was just a play that he and Norman had schemed together to make a fool out of her.


Andrew was right. Silvia came to him willingly and ended up being humiliated by him. It was not his fault. She could only blame herself for being ignorant and stupid.


Silvia suppressed her nausea and put on a bright smile. “Mr. Carter, are you satisfied with my body?”


Silvia did not hear his answer, but she heard his footsteps toward her. He came to her side and grabbed her chin despite the darkness. “Tell me, what did you do to me?”


“What did I do to you?” It was clear that he had ruined her innocence, and yet he tried to push the blame unto her.


Silvia felt that Andrew was actually worse than Norman, that vile and heartless man.


“Speak!” He added more strength and pinched her lower jaw. The pain made Silvia’s mouth twitch, but she didn’t cry out or whined.


“Mr. Carter, what do you want to hear from me?” Anyway, he was her benefactor. She could tell him whatever he wanted to hear.


“Tell me, what did you do to me?” Andrew was getting annoyed and thought that this woman was really sick. In the past, Andrew knew that she was full of lies. But now, she had done something so despicable to him.


“Haha.. What did I do to you?” Silvia chuckled out loud. “It’s exactly what you remember. I slept with you.”


If he didn’t want to admit it, she could just take the fall. After all, she was like an ant in his hands. He could crush her easily if he wanted to.


“You! Damn it!”


“Mr. Carter, don’t pretend to be so wronged. Not long ago, you were bl*ody aggressive. Don’t forget, you were enjoying it just now, moaning in satisfaction!”


“Get lost!”


“Mr. Carter, where do you want me to go?” 


“Get lost! I don’t want to see you again!”


“Mr. Carter, after all, we did, you really want me to get lost?”


She hoped to get away from him and to never see this man who made her feel so disgusted. However, without his permission, she could not get away, so she needed his final answer.






CHAPTER 1069



As she gradually adapted to the darkness of the room, Silvia saw the face in front of her faintly. This face appeared cold and heartless, like a bloodthirsty lion.


She looked at him and smiled gently, “Mr. Carter, does this mean that the contract is void?”


Silvia wanted to leave, but she needed to be sure that she was not breaking any terms of the contract. She didn’t want to be involved with this man anymore. She hoped that he would give her a clear answer quickly.


She hoped that he would denounce the contract and told her to get away as far as possible so that she would not have to see him again.


“Contract?” He was looking at her aggressively and furiously. He spoke loudly and clearly, “Do you think that by sleeping with me once, you can get out of the contract?” How ridiculous!


These words pierced through Silvia’s heart like nails. It hurt very much, but she still had a smile on her face. “I thought if I slept with you once, you would void the contract. I guess that wasn’t true.” 


Andrew clenched his fist, gnashed his teeth and said, “I bought you. You’re mine, and you’re mine even after you die. Don’t think that I’ll let you go that easily.”


Silvia reached out and grabbed his hand. “Mr. Carter, if once was not enough, I can sleep with you a few more times until you are satisfied. What do you say?”


Andrew shook her hand off as if she was a parasite. He stepped back and said, “Do you think I’ll touch a filthy woman like you?”


After that, he slammed the door and left, but his voice lingered in the room for a long time.


A filthy woman?


This phrase kept echoing in her ears like a broken record on repeat constantly reminding and mocking her of her pitiable state of life.


Andrew was right. At this moment, she was indeed filthy. From the moment she touched him, she had become filthy from the inside out. But he was the one who did the act earlier and made her “filthy”. What right did he have to feel disgusted by her?


“Thump-Thump!”


It was the maid, Auntie Cherry who knocked outside the door. Then, she heard her ask, “Miss Turner, may I come in?”


Before Silvia answered, Auntie Cherry had opened the door and entered the room. Silvia was so scared that she pulled up the quilt and covered her naked body immediately. She looked at Auntie Cherry warily and asked, “What’s the matter?”


Auntie Cherry turned on the light in the room and came to Silvia’s side. She handed two white pills to Silvia and said, “Miss Turner, the Master asked me to bring you these.” 


Silvia asked cautiously, “What pills are these?”


Auntie Cherry scratched her head and stammered, “Miss Turner, this is… for colds. The pills can prevent colds.”


As she saw how Auntie Cherry was having cold sweats on her hand and forehead, and listening to her stuttering explanation, Silvia easily understood what the pills were for.


If she guessed correctly, they should be after-morning pills.


Silvia took the pills over and looked at them. “Auntie Cherry, your Master is very thoughtful. Please thank him for me.”


Andrew did not want her to get pregnant with his child. Did he think that she was willing to give birth to his child? How preposterous!


She could have told him that she didn’t want to have anything to do with him as long as she was alive.


As she was lying, Auntie Cherry felt guilty. “Miss Turner, I will tell the Master what you said. Now, take this medicine.”


“Auntie Cherry, put the pills here. You can go on with your tasks. I’ll eat them later.” 


Silvia had been apprehensive about taking medicine since she was young. When she was sick, her mother would prepare juices for her in advance. This helped a lot in improving the taste. 


Everyone around Silvia would try their best to help her when she was sick so that she wouldn’t need to suffer so much.


Silvia didn’t even have a glass of water around her, and she really couldn’t swallow the pills.


Auntie Cherry was embarrassed. “Miss Turner, the Master said that you must eat the pills in front of me. Or else..”


Silvia asked, “Or else..what?”


“Otherwise, he would fault me,” Auntie Cherry blurted out honestly, but she thought that it was not nice to say so. She explained hurriedly, “Miss Turner, I mean, if I didn’t see you taking the pills and you caught a cold accidentally, the Master would blame me for not taking good care of you.”


Silvia didn’t want to embarrass Auntie Cherry, but she really couldn’t swallow the pills on their own. She said, “Auntie Cherry, can you get me a glass of water?”


Auntie Cherry was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately. “Of course. Please wait for a moment, Miss Turner. I’ll get you a glass of water.”


It was Auntie Cherry’s negligence that she had forgotten to bring some water for Silvia to take the pills. She had been too focused on bringing the pills over. Thankfully, the young lady was quite naive and did not question her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to explain herself to Butler Banks.


Silvia smiled and said, “Please and thank you.”


Seeing Auntie Cherry’s expression of relief, Silvia’s heart was full of mixed feelings. Her life had turned upside down in the span of a day.


Not long ago, her uncle, Norman, wanted to rape her. He crawled into her room in the middle of the night. She managed to escape that day, but she did not escape the man earlier this day.


That damned Andrew Carter! Silvia regarded him as her savior, but he abused her.


It had been a whole day now, but the pain and weakness in her body still reminded her of what he had done.


Auntie Cherry came back soon with a glass of water in her hand. She said urgently, “Miss Turner, you can take the medicine now.”


“Of course.” Silvia first drank a big mouthful of water, then, she placed the two pills into her mouth. She swallowed the pills quickly with a big mouthful of water. 


After swallowing the medications, she opened her mouth for Auntie Cherry to have a look. “Auntie Cherry, I have taken the pills. You can report it to your Master.”


After confirming that Silvia had taken the medicine, Auntie Cherry smiled awkwardly and said, “Miss Turner, it’s getting late, I won’t disturb you anymore. Have some rest.”


Silvia just smiled and nodded at her as she watched Auntie Cherry leave.


As soon as the door closed, the fake smile on Silvia’s face disappeared instantly. She said with hatred in her eyes, “Andrew Carter, remember this. I will make you pay for what you’ve done, one day!”


Silvia got up and locked the door. She dragged her painful body to the bathroom. She stood under the running water, and washed her body repeatedly with plenty of soap.


She felt dirty. No matter how hard she tried to wash her body, she knew she could not be pure anymore. She could not wash away the stains that the beast had left on her body.


“I’m sorry! Brother Felix, I’m sorry!” She kept apologizing while washing her body thoroughly, “Brother Felix, I’m sorry! So sorry…” She apologized repeatedly. Suddenly, she broke down and tears rolled down her cheeks.






CHAPTER 1070



At the same time.


In Andrew's study.


Andrew was rubbing his temples trying to sober himself up, but it did not work. He still felt groggy, as if his brain had stopped working.


Simon rushed over and asked, “Young Master, you asked for me?”


Andrew shot a sharp look at him. “What happened?” 


Andrew did not ask clearly, but Simon knew what he was talking about. He said hurriedly, “Young Master, it’s my negligence.”


How could a clear-minded person mistake someone for the other person? However, this was what happened to Andrew. Andrew didn’t know the reason, but Simon knew why. However, Simon didn’t dare to admit it. Andrew narrowed his eyes and did not answer him. 


Simon looked at Andrew's gloomy face and continued to say, “I had asked Miss Turner to send your breakfast up, but I didn’t expect that she would dare to drug you secretly. It’s all my fault. I was careless and she took advantage.”


Simon kept his head down and didn’t dare to look up at his Master. He would not be able to hide the secret if their eyes met. He knew that it was not right for him to do this, but he didn’t want to see his Master suffer again, so he took advantage of the clueless Silvia.


Simon thought that as long as Andrew had a sexual relationship with another woman, Andrew would not think of Miss Janell Joy so much.


“Did she drug me?” Andrew approached Simon carefully. He gritted his teeth and asked firmly, “I didn’t touch the food she brought to me. How did she drug me?”


At first, Andrew also thought that Silvia was the one who drugged him. However, after he calmed down, he felt that it was unlikely that she was the one who did it.


Silvia was a woman who was full of lies. She was wild and chased after wealth. She had many bad habits, but Andrew believed that she would never sell her body.


On the contrary, there was a man in Silvia’s heart. She had protected herself well all this while and saved her virginity for him. She was waiting for that person’s return. However, Andrew had destroyed all of it.


“Young Master, I’m not sure about this. I also heard that Dr. Thames found the drug in Miss Turner’s bag.” Simon knew that he could not admit to it no matter the cost. If he admitted to it, Simon could not bear the consequences.


Andrew raised his eyebrows and sneered, “You’re not sure?” 


Simon said stubbornly. “Young Master, why don’t get someone to ask Miss Turner?”


“Is she someone you have the right to question?” Andrew looked extremely skeptical, “Simon, just because you have been with me for a long time, don’t get too comfortable and do things at your own will.”


Simon was so frightened that his legs felt weak. “Young Master, I would not dare do anything foolish. Besides, no matter what I do, I’m doing it for your own good.”


Andrew sneered and continued, “I don’t need someone who will do evil things behind my back by saying it’s for my own good. You can go now. I don’t need you here.”


If a subordinate dared to mess around behind his Master’s back once, it would likely to happen again. Andrew could not work with such a person again.


Simon became very anxious, “Young Master, how could this be? I’ve been taking care of you throughout all these years. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t be able to rest assured.” 


Andrew glanced at him and said, “This is the price you have to pay for your mistakes.”


Simon pleaded, “Young Master…”


Before doing this, Simon had already expected this to be the lightest punishment he could receive.


He knew that his Master’s decision would be difficult to change, so it was pointless for Simon to fight for his stand. However, he still played the “loyalty card” at the last moment.  Simon added, “Young Master, do you need me to take Miss Turner away before I leave? If you don’t want to see her anymore, I promise that I can make that happen.”


Andrew responded indifferently, “Simon, do you know what you’re talking about?”


Simon answered, “Young Master, don’t you despise Miss Turner?” Simon suddenly felt a little scared, as if his disguise had been seen through by his Master. He could not hide his actions from his Master’s eyes.


Andrew glanced at him and didn’t say anything.


Simon understood this look in his eyes. He knew that even if Andrew thought that Silvia had used despicable means on him, Andrew still did not intend to let her go. Simon suddenly realized that he had done so many things at the risk of losing his head at any time. In the end, it was pointless.


Not only did Simon fail to heal his Master’s broken heart, but he also created a huge mess for himself.


…………


At the cemetery


In a quiet corner, there was a very special tombstone.


The reason why it looked special was that this tombstone was painted with different colors. It looked particularly bright and vibrant, unlike the usual dull graves.


There was a line of words engraved on the tombstone, marking the grave of Felix Xavier.


Silvia stood in front of the tombstone, and the scorching sun shone on her body. The sweat on her body had drenched her clothes, but she stood there for nearly an hour as if she didn’t feel the heat at all.


After a long time, she reached out her hand gently to touch the engraving on the tombstone. She touched the name that she was so familiar with, “Brother Felix…”


Silvia’s nose twitched as she called out his name. Tears welled up in her eyes again. “Brother Felix, where have you been? Brother Felix, I know that you are still here. You must still be alive, but you must be hiding somewhere that I can’t go.” 


“Brother Felix, you said that when I get into trouble, you will definitely show up to help me. But when I was bullied, where were you? I shouted out loudly but you didn’t come to me. Brother Felix, have you forgotten me completely?”


Silvia still remembered a vivid memory where Felix took her hand and said to her, “Silvia, don’t be afraid. Although your father is gone, you still have me. Let me love you and protect you in the future.” At that time, when she heard his words, Silvia looked as happy as a fool. She held Felix’s hand, laughing and jumping,


“Brother Felix, I have been waiting for you to say this. I have been waiting for so long for you to confess your love to me. I thought the day would never come, but it did.”


She stood on her tiptoe and leaned forward to kiss him on the face. “Brother Felix, I like you. I have always wanted to marry you since I was a child.” 


They grew up together, went to school together, and went through the best years of their lives together. However, not long ago, when Silvia was going through the worst time in her life, Felix disappeared.


He disappeared completely out of the blue, and there was no news about this. She searched for him for a long time, but she could not find any clues about him.


It was as if he had never existed before.


She even doubted whether her memories with him were real or not, and wondered if everything was just a hallucination.

CHAPTERS 1061 - 1065







CHAPTER 1061



Lemur grabbed Silvia and said worriedly, “Boss, you know what kind of person Norman is. Prince and I will never let you meet him alone.”


“Don’t worry. I will be fine.” Silvia shrugged her shoulders. It was easy for her to say, but deep down, she felt like there was a stone pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.


Last time, Norman, has sent someone to drug her and brought her to the black market to be sold.


Now that her mother was in his hands, Norman would probably do things more unscrupulously. Lemur exchanged glances with Prince quietly and said, “No matter what, either one of us must go with you.”


“Thank you, both of you.” Silvia was glad that she had a pair of good friends, Prince and Lemur. Every time she was in trouble, they would accompany her and support her.


Prince said, “Lemur, wait here as the boss said. I’ll go in with her, and I'll keep you posted.”


Anyway, they could not let Silvia take this risk alone. It was better to have someone accompany her than for her to go alone.


Silvia patted their backs and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I won’t confront them head-on this time. As long as they return my mother, whatever they want, I'll let them have it.”


She had resisted and fought for her rights before. But since she had not graduated from college, she did not have any experience in managing a company. She knew little about the company’s affairs. She could not beat Norman. She could only watch helplessly as Wateria Corporation, which her parents had worked so hard for, get conquered by the imbeciles in her family.


Wateria Corporation was founded by her parents. The company was important but compared to Sylvia’s mother, of course, her mother’s life was more important.


Between her mother’s life and the company, it was an obvious choice for Silvia to pick her mother, but it did not mean that she would completely give Wateria up.


Silvia was still young. As long as she could save her mother and her own life, she would still have the opportunity to take the company back in a few years’ time.


“Miss Turner, President Turner has instructed you to go in alone,” Silvia and Prince walked to the entrance and was immediately stopped by the security guard. 


Prince was so anxious that he wanted to rush over and beat the security guard up. “You..”


Silvia grabbed him and said, “Prince, you and Lemur should wait outside. I will contact you if there is anything.”


Prince raised his voice, “Boss, no! Absolutely not!” 


Silvia looked at her wrist and said, “Give me 20 minutes. If I don’t contact you in 20 minutes, help me contact someone.”


Prince asked in a hurry, “Who?”


Silvia took out her mobile phone and sent Andrew's phone number to Prince. “Call this person and tell him that I am in trouble. I don’t think that he would ignore my plea for help.”


Silvia clearly knew that Andrew had spent a lot of money to purchase her from the black market. How could he allow others to bully someone who was under his possession?


Andrew was the only lifeline that Silvia could grasp at the moment. No matter what happened, Silvia had to hold onto him and never let him go.


……….


In the President’s office in Wateria Corporation. Silvia was familiar with this office. However, in just two months, this office had been renovated, and she could no longer recognize it.


The man sitting in the office made her feel even more foreign. The man on the President’s chair was no longer her father who always smiled kindly.


“Silvia, you’re here,” Norman looked at her from head to toe. He sounded sweet and respectful, but his eyes spoke otherwise.


Silvia hated Norman’s pretentious manner. “Norman, tell me frankly, what do you want?”


“What do I want? Silvia, don’t you know?” Norman smiled evilly and wretchedly, but he still spoke to Silvia calmly, like how an elder would talk to those younger than them.


Silvia snorted, “You have done so much just to get the company on legal terms. Give my mother back to me, and I will transfer all my shares of the company to you.”


“Haha..” Norman shook his head and sneered. “Silvia, are you really that gullible?”


Silvia kept quiet.


Under Silvia’s glare, Norman got up slowly and came to Silvia’s side. “Silvia, the company is already mine. Exchanging your mother for it.? Did you think I am stupid?” 


Silvia was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. “Norman, what do you want?”


“You!” Norman stared at Silvia evilly. He looked at Silvia as if she were his prey, and he couldn’t wait to look at her naked body. “Silvia, besides Wateria Corporation, I also want you.”


Slap!


Silvia didn’t even think much. She slapped Norman hard across his face. “B*stard, go to hell! How can a scum like you even live on this planet?”


“How dare you hit me? Haha..” Norman touched his left face and smiled wretchedly. “Well done! I like your hot temper.”


“You pervert!” Silvia stepped back quickly and tried not to let Norman take advantage of her. “Norman, if you are still human, you shouldn’t say such vile words. You sound like a mindless beast! Disgusting!”


“What a feisty girl! Tell me, who gave you such courage to speak so boldly?” Norman sneered and approached Silvia gradually.


Bang!


All of a sudden, there was a gunshot. Norman was shot in the thigh and he fell to the ground.


He looked up and saw a man leaning against the door with a gun in his hand. He asked, “Who are you?”


Andrew toyed with the gun in his hand and said, “Mr. Turner, you are the one looking for me, but you don’t know who I am?” 


Norman covered his bleeding thigh with one hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with the other hand, “Who are you? Do you know who I am? You’re looking for death, behaving so rashly in my territory!”


Andrew smiled and stroked the muzzle of his gun. “It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I have warned you not to touch my woman.”


“Is she your woman? Then who are you? You can’t be him.”


Norman shook his head. He knew that Mr. Carter was an old man in his fifties. Mr. Carter was definitely not this young man, who looked like he was barely thirty, standing before him. 


“President Turner, bad news!” Norman’s secretary rushed in reporting, “The big screen outside is playing a video of your illegal trade, and the intentional car accident that killed the previous President.”


“What?” Norman was so scared that his face turned pale. He wanted to get up but he couldn’t. “Who released the information? Who the hell?”


Norman raised his head and looked at the man in front of him. Suddenly, he understood what was going on. “It’s you. I did not offend you. Why are you doing this to me?”


“As I said, no one can touch my woman. How dare you touch her? Aren’t you looking for death?” Andrew's voice sounded very casual, but he appeared so calm that he looked scary. Everyone felt a chill.






CHAPTER 1062



“You, you… just for a woman?” Norman couldn’t believe his words, but he had to believe it.


There was the gunshot on his leg, and also the bad news from his secretary. These sudden events were telling him that he could not afford to offend this man in front of him. However, Norman had already inadvertently done so.


If Norman had known that he would meet a person like him in the black market, he would never have sold Silvia to the black market in the first place. Now, he was in a situation where he went for wool and came home shorn.


Norman had been working for Kurtson Turner for more than ten years. He had made great achievements in Madison City. In these years, he had built himself a good reputation.


Unexpectedly, Norman sent Kurtson to his death easily, but he fell into the hands of such a young b*stard. Mr. Carter had only arrived in Madison City three years ago. In just three years, he had gained a great reputation, and no one could compete with him.


Norman was unwilling to give up, but he couldn’t do anything when it came to Mr. Carter. Norman could only retreat and let this man do whatever he wanted. 


“Simon, please bring Miss Turner away.” Andrew had said that Silvia was his woman. However, after entering the room, Andrew only glanced at Silvia once and did not look at her again. So, he did not notice that Silvia’s face was even paler than Norman’s at this moment.


“Miss Turner, this way please.” Simon gestured for Silvia to leave the room. Silvia didn’t say anything more and left with him. However, when she walked out of the office, her legs suddenly became weak, so she quickly leaned against the wall and supported herself.


Over the years, her father had raised her like a boy, so that she could be tough. She was more adventurous than other girls, but she had never witnessed someone being shot and bleeding from a gunshot wound. Her mind was still reeling from the incident.


In the office, Andrew took two steps and squatted down beside Norman. “Norman, thank you for sending me such a big gift.” 


“What big gift?” Norman did not understand, and Andrew did not intend to say anything more to him.  Andrew stood up and walked away gracefully.


When he exited the office, Andrew saw Silvia, who was shivering, leaning against the wall. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Simon, who was standing aside.


Simon stepped forward immediately and said, “Young Master, Miss Turner… I.”


Andrew handed the gun to Simon and said, “You deal with the things here. You can work with the police to deal with these people off properly. I don’t want to see these people again in the future.”


After that, Andrew walked toward Silvia. “Miss Turner, are you frightened?


Frightened?


Of course, she was!


Silvia was so afraid that her legs were still too weak to stand still, but she still remained strong. She did not want to show her weakness and fear in front of others.


She straightened her back and said with a smile, “The word ‘fear’ does not exist in my dictionary. Mr. Carter, I’m not sure what you mean.”


She was so scared that her legs were shaking, but she did not want to admit her weakness. Andrew wanted to laugh out loud. “It’s good that you aren’t afraid. I don’t need a timid woman around me.”


Silvia glared at him and said, “You speak as if I want to be around you. Let me tell you this, you’re the one who forced me to sign a contract with you.”


Andrew replied calmly, “Is that so? Then who is the man who called me to save you just now?”


It turned out that he came to help her after receiving a phone call from Prince. In an instant, Silvia felt that Andrew was not as bad as she thought.


After all, she knew how to distinguish good from evil. At this moment, few people were willing to get involved in this matter between herself and Norman


“However, you don’t have to thank me too much. It’s written clearly in the contract. It’s my duty to help you.” After saying that, Andrew walked past her.


Silvia gritted her teeth. Andrew was rather offensive when he spoke. She wanted to thank him initially, but now, it seemed that there was no need to.


“Miss Turner, aren’t you leaving with us? Do you want the police to take you back with them for a cup of tea later?” Suddenly, he turned back and looked at her.


Silvia then remembered that there had been a bloody gunshot incident in the office. Although there weren’t any casualties, Norman had been shot and the police would arrive soon. If the police saw her there, it would be hard for Silvia to explain.


Near the main entrance.


The police had already blocked the way. Silvia was really in a dilemma. She didn’t know how to walk through them, but Andrew's voice came from behind, “Miss Turner, how is it that you have lived till today?”


Before, Andrew had thought that she was a smart girl. She would know how to assess situations and take care of herself. At present, however, it seemed that she did not live up to his expectations.


Silvia glared at Andrew angrily. “Just like you, I survived because I mind my own business.”


Andrew smiled slightly and said, “Really? Then I thought that your experiences would’ve built you differently.”


Silvia was so angry that she gritted her teeth. “Andrew Carter, what do you mean?”


He chuckled. “Can’t you tell that I’m saying you’re stupid?”


Silvia was so angry that she was about to explode. “You! You’re a Carter , but it does not mean that you’re smart. Without your capable father, I’m sure you wouldn’t be here.”


The father Silvia mentioned was naturally the legendary “Mr. Carter” in Madison City. However, Andrew interpreted her words differently. Three years ago, he left the Carter Family to start his business in order to prove himself. He wanted to show others that he could live his own life and build his own wealth without his family’s help.


However, he also knew that his growth and success would be related to the Carter family no matter what. Without the love and care of the Carter family, he wouldn’t be here. 


Silvia felt a little guilty when he looked at her. She murmured, “It’s obvious that you are relying on your father’s success, am I wrong to say so?” 


Andrew's face darkened, and he strode forward. “He is so unreasonable! Only he can talk bad about others, but he does not allow others to criticize him!” No matter how dissatisfied Silvia was with him, she could only follow him closely.


……..


The main entrance was blocked by the police. If Silvia did not follow Andrew, she really did not know how to get out.


However, after a few steps, Silvia thought of something again. The police came here because of the murder case, and not because of the gunshot.


As the victim’s daughter, Silvia should cooperate with the police to investigate the case and try to get Norman arrested as soon as possible.


“Silvia, I hope you don’t forget your place.” Andrew's cold and angry voice disrupted Silvia’s thoughts. She looked up and saw him staring at her coldly.


How could Silvia forget that she was just someone, who was bought over from the black market? She signed a contract with him. She was now a person without any freedom.








CHAPTER 1063



In the parking lot.


Andrew sat in the car, but Silvia was not willing to get in. She looked around, waiting for the best time to escape.


Andrew just sat in the back seat of the car calmly. He didn’t ask her to get in the car, nor did he ask the driver to drive away.


The two of them were in a cold war for a long time. After a while, Silvia couldn’t hold it in anymore. She leaned against the car door and said bravely, “Mr. Carter, I know that we have a contract, but now I have something very important to attend to. I can’t go back with you.”


Andrew crossed his legs, looked in front and said coldly, “You have something important to attend to? Do you want the police to take you back? Or do you want Norman to accuse you of using guns illegally?”


As soon as he mentioned the gun, Silvia became agitated.


“Andrew, so you do know that using guns is illegal? I thought you didn’t know that.” Andrew was speechless. What an ungrateful woman!


Silvia said again, “You knew that it was illegal to use a gun, and you still shot someone. Do you think that just because you’re rich and powerful, the police can’t do anything to you?”


Andrew responded faintly, “Who said that I shot someone with a gun?”


Silvia raised her voice. “I saw it with my own eyes. Could it be false?”


Andrew smiled disdainfully and said, “Miss Turner, you are an adult now. Don’t you know that you need to have evidence for everything?”


Silvia was so angry that she stammered, “I..” 


Andrew tilted his head to look at her. He looked arrogant. “Miss Turner, I saw you shooting someone with my own eyes just now. Not only did I see it, but my assistant, Simon, also saw it.”


Silvia raised her voice, “You, you are slandering me!”


In an instant, Silvia understood something. Andrew dared to fire the gun blatantly. Naturally, he was well prepared for any consequence. He would never let anyone get hold of him.


This also made Silvia realize more clearly that Andrew was someone she couldn’t afford to mess with. She couldn’t imagine how powerful he was.


Andrew saw her standing next to the car in a daze and frowned impatiently. “Get in the car. I don’t have much time.”


Silvia remembered that she didn’t get in the car because she had other things to do. She pointed upstairs and said, “I have to ask Norman about my mother’s whereabouts. Can you ask Simon to ask him on my behalf?”


Silvia was a smart person. She knew that if she went back to the scene, it would only cause more trouble. The best way was to request for Simon to help her.


Andrew shot Norman in the open, and he was left defenseless. It was probably a piece of cake for Simon to find out the whereabouts of her mother. Andrew repeated his words, “Get in the car.”


He didn’t help her.


Silvia was anxious. “I can give up on Norman’s affairs, but I can’t leave my mother alone. If something happens to her, I won’t be able to live. The money that the Carter family spent on me would be in vain. Andrew, do you understand that?”


Andrew yelled, “Get in the car!”


It was an order, which could not be negotiable.


Silvia was so angry that she jumped on her feet. “Andrew Carter! I’ve spoken so much. Are you even listening to me?”


If she could, she really wanted to jump in the car and kick him. How could there be such an unreasonable man who could not understand her?!


Andrew said in a low voice, “If you don’t get in, I will issue orders to send your mother away so that you will never see her again in your life.”


Silvia was so angry that she kicked the car hard, but it hurt her so badly. She was in so much pain that she jumped and shouted, “Andrew, you bastard, why don’t you let me see my mother.”


While scolding him, Silvia suddenly thought of something and changed her angry expression. She broke into a flattering smile almost in an instant. “Mr. Carter, did you mean that your people have found my mother?”


Andrew didn’t know what to say. He did not speak, and Silvia regarded that as a yes. She got into the car and sat down beside him. “Mr. Carter, you are really a kind person. Thank you for saving my mother.”


Although Andrew still didn’t give her a reassuring look, she didn’t care at all. She even thought he looked cute when she saw his gloomy face.


Cute?


Silvia suddenly felt that Andrew was quite funny, Perhaps because no one wanted to be with him, he acted so coldly to stop others from approaching him.


On the way back.


Silvia sat in the back seat of the car, with a man as cold as an iceberg next to her. She thought that even if she didn’t turn on the air conditioner, she would not feel warm due to his icy aura.


She stole a glance at Andrew and saw his gloomy face. He looked as if he could throw her out of the car at any time.


Silvia was frightened and moved to the other side of the car carefully. At this time, she had no money and no power, and she could only be a coward. If he was angry, she did not even dare to breathe heavily.


Presumably, she was also a coward before this. She used to be the heir to Wateria Corporation. She was well protected by her parents. She didn’t expect that after her father was killed by Norman, she couldn’t even take care of herself. Especially after what Norman and others did to her family, unknowingly, she became someone else’s belonging.


“That old bastard, Norman, is one son of a b*tch!” She thought to herself. Fortunately, someone exposed the evidence to Norman causing her father’s death and revealed the truth, so the police came to interrogate Norman.


Silvia spent so much effort but not only did she fail to find the evidence of Norman plotting the murder, she even lost ownership of herself! Who was the one who exposed the truth?


Who could it be?


Who dared to offend Norman?


When she had these thoughts in her mind, Silvia turned back to look at Andrew. There was no need for her to think more about it. There was only one person who could find evidence of Norman’s murder and save her at a critical moment.


In Madison City, except for someone in the Carter family, there wouldn’t be anyone else.


Andrew said that as long as she signed the contract and promised to stay with him, he would help her deal with Norman. He said he would do it, and he was quite efficient. In fact, Andrew was very reliable, and he was also a man who could make people feel safe and secure. 


“Andrew, thank you! Thank you so much!”


Although Silvia was reluctant to sign the contract, she still sincerely thanked him for helping her take down the murderer who killed her father. Andrew even helped save her mother.


At the same time, she also wanted to thank Andrew's father for purchasing her from the black market previously, so that she could be spared from being sent to a brothel. Andrew still looked in front coldly and did not respond to a word she said. It seemed that he did not hear her words at all.


But at this moment, Silvia vowed to never think that the contract was unfair again in the future. She would fulfill its terms and accompany him until he let her go.






CHAPTER 1064



The car was not going toward the villa where Andrew lived, instead, it was heading in the opposite direction.


Silvia was born and raised in Madison City. She knew the city like the back of her hand. Soon, she found out that something was wrong.


She looked at Andrew and asked, “Mr. Carter, where are we going?” 


Andrew ignored her and just looked out of the window. He completely ignored her question.


Silvia was so angry that she waved her hand in front of him. “Who on earth is this guy? Can’t he be nice? He’s trying to pretend to be cold and arrogant. Who is he putting a show on for?”


If she had not been smart enough to know that he was not a bad person, she would have poisoned him to death. 


Since Andrew did not reply to her, Silvia didn’t ask any further. Anyway, she knew she couldn’t get a cold person like him to speak up.


Not long later, the car arrived at the First People Hospital in Madison City. The driver slowed down and parked outside the gate of the hospital..The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Silvia.


He said respectfully, “Miss Turner, your mother is in the senior ward, room number 809. You can visit her, but you only have half an hour.”


“Half an hour.. " Silvia repeated his words angrily. She wasn’t someone who got angry easily, but Andrew was just simply arrogant.


He allowed her to visit her mother, but he only gave her half an hour. He really treated her like his toy, didn’t he?


Did he need to control her time too?


She looked at Andrew angrily. He was still looking out of the window calmly and ignored her completely again. Silvia knew her place so she just suppressed the anger. “Thank you! I will come back on time.”


After that, Silvia turned around and left. After two steps, she turned back and glared at the man in the car. Not long ago, she had made up her mind to fulfil the contract terms well. Now, she regretted her words, and she even thought about ways to deal with him later.


…………...


In the hospital.


The seniors’ ward was located on the eighth floor of Madison City Hospital. The environment and facilities were much better than the ward that Silvia had arranged for her mother.


After getting out of the elevator, Silvia looked at the sign and walked toward the ward number 809. When she reached the door, Silvia stopped and took two deep breaths. She tried to look calm before heading in. 


Since her father died in the accident and her mother was sick and hospitalized, Silvia had faced many challenges. However, every time she went to the hospital to visit her mother, she would try to put up a good front for her mother. She would never let her mother know how much she had suffered out there.


After putting on a smile, Silvia opened the door and came in. “Mom, I..”


She stopped speaking. The ward was empty, and her mother was nowhere to be seen. The bathroom door in the room was also left open, and there was no one inside. The room was not that big. It was neat and tidy, but it was empty. Did something happen to her mother again?


“Could it be that her mother was taken away by Norman’s people again?”


Thinking of the video before, Silvia panicked. She turned around and ran out. Unexpectedly, she bumped into someone just as she turned around.


“Silvia?” 


It was her mother’s gentle and kind voice.


“Mom?” Silvia hugged her mother. “Mom, is it really you? I’m not blind, right? It’s not an illusion, is it?”


Mrs. Turner patted Silvia’s back gently and said softly, “Dear child, it’s not an illusion. It’s me. I am standing in front of you.”


“Mom.” Silvia rubbed herself in her mother’s arms and held her tighter. “Mom, I was almost scared to death.” 


Earlier, she thought of her father’s car accident and her mother’s miserable state of being beaten. She was afraid that her mother would be hurt by that crazy Norman.


“Don’t worry.” Mrs. Turner kept patting Silvia on her back and comforted her like coaxing a child. “Silvia, don’t worry, I’m fine.”


“Mom…” Silvia tried to force back the tears that had welled up at the corner of her eyes, and then she looked up at her mother. “Mom, I’m sorry! It’s my fault. I failed to protect you and let you…”


As she remembered seeing her mother being slapped in the face, Silvia felt so hurt that her heart ached. She hated herself for being so slow and incompetent. Once her father left, she couldn’t do anything. 


Her mother also cried when she saw how Silvia blamed herself. “Dear child, aren’t I standing in front of you? Let bygones be bygones.”


Silvia choked as she called her mother gently, “Mom..” 


Mrs. Turner brought Silvia into the ward and said, “Come in and have a seat.”


Silvia asked, “Mom, where did you go just now?” 


Mrs. Turner smiled as she replied, “I stayed in the ward for a long time and got bored. I made friends with some people, and I asked the lady from the ward next to mine to accompany me to the yard. I stayed here for a few days and made some new friends. They are all very good to me. When you return to your studies in the future, I wouldn’t be so bored anymore.” 


Silvia said apologetically, “Mom, I’m sorry. I haven’t been able to accompany you for the past few days because I’m busy with other things.”


Mrs. Turner didn’t know what exactly Silvia had gone through, but she could guess. Silvia didn’t tell her, so she didn’t want to ask about it. She knew that Silvia was a filial child, and she tends to hide some sad things to herself.


Silvia did not want to talk about what she had been through. Mrs. Turner did not want Silvia to worry either, so she pretended not to know anything.


Mrs. Turner touched Silvia’s head gently. “Silvia, I can take care of myself. You’d better prepare for your examination.”


Silvia was worried that she could not find an excuse for her disappearance for the past few days. Now that her mother had reassured her and used a different excuse, she just played along and said, “Mom, I know, I will study hard.” 


“Mmm.” Mrs. Turner smiled gently. “Your father is gone. In the future, you will be in charge of the company. If you haven’t graduated from college yet, how would others take you seriously?”


When it came to her academics, Silvia was still very confident. “Mom, my grades have always been one of the best in our class. Don’t worry, I will definitely graduate with excellent grades and manage the Wateria Corporation well. I will carry on Dad’s legacy.”


“Well.” Mrs. Turner nodded with tears in her eyes. “Silvia, your father left suddenly. Fortunately, I still have you, or else.”


Being reminded of the car accident, Mrs. Turner felt sad and hated her poor health. She couldn’t help her daughter, and even became a burden for her daughter.






CHAPTER 1065



Mrs. Turner felt a lump in her throat. Silvia held her hand tightly and comforted her, “Mom, Dad has not gone too far. He must be still with us, in secret. You must cherish your life and health, and not make him be worried.”


“Well, I know, I know..” Mrs. Turner held Silvia’s hand and wiped away her tears silently.


Her husband had passed, but she still had her daughter, so she needed to be strong. She didn’t want her husband to worry about both of them.


Ring, ring, ring…


Silvia’s cell phone suddenly rang, disrupting the peaceful silence between them.


Silvia took her mobile phone out and saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. She answered, “Hello!” 


“Miss Turner, your half an hour visitation time is up.” Andrew's driver spoke nonchalantly.


“You..” Silvia heard it and felt angry secretly, but she couldn’t let her mother worry. She whispered to her mother, “Mom, let me get this call.”


Mrs. Turner was worried. “Silvia, who called?”


Silvia smiled and said, “It was Lemur, he was telling me about what happened in school.”


She lied to her mother. Under her mother’s doubtful gaze, Silvia walked out of the ward and closed the door. Then, she said to the person at the other end of the phone, “Have Andrew Carter answer the phone.”


The driver said, “Miss Turner..”


Silvia interrupted him. “If Andrew doesn’t want to answer the phone, please tell him that I’m going to stay in the hospital to take care of my mother today. Please give me 12 hours, and I’ll look for him when the time is up.”


After that, Silvia hung up the phone. She didn’t care if Andrew agreed to her request or not. Anyway, she had to stay in the hospital to take care of her mother.


She didn’t know that the driver had turned on the speaker when he called, and Andrew heard every single word. Andrew smirked and looked into the distance. He began thinking deeply.


Silvia’s way of asking for help was so similar to Janell Joy. Both of them were so smug as if they were confident that Andrew would agree to their every request.


What if he didn’t agree?


What could they do?


Looking at the smile on his Master’s face, the driver said worriedly, “Master, should I..”


“She can stay.” Andrew turned his head and looked at the hospital building. “Arrange someone to stand guard at the hospital. Keep Silvia and her mother safe.”


The driver commented, “We have arranged it. We have arranged for the best private guards to take care of Miss Turner’s mother.”


Andrew nodded, “Alright.”


Living in this cruel world, people could not do whatever they wanted to do most of the time. They would be forced to bow down to the cruel reality.


Silvia was a living example. She was so angry earlier, so she spoke without thinking much. When she hung up the phone, she regretted her words instantly.


Andrew was a powerful person in Madison City. He could take Norman down easily. If he wanted to come for her, she would have no way to fight back.


She spoke so arrogantly and hung up the phone. What if Andrew got angry and asked someone to take her away by force?


What was she going to do?


She would learn to accept it, but it would become a big problem if she made her mother feel worried.


In order not to let her mother worry, Silvia decided to send a message to Andrew, “Mr. Carter, my mother’s condition is very critical. I must stay by her side to take care of her. You have parents, so I hope you can understand my stance. I promise that you  will see me at home when you get up tomorrow.”


After sending the message, Silvia felt that this was not enough. Andrew was so arrogant that he did not care about others. No one could challenge his authority. Therefore, Silvia sent another message, “Mr. Carter, I know I should listen to you and go with you, but I have my personal hardships too, yet I don’t want to disobey your orders. Please give me one night, and I will handle my affairs well. You will see me at home tomorrow morning. If you don’t reply, I will just assume that you have agreed.” Silvia knew that Andrew would not reply to her messages, so she decided to add the last sentence to make things easier for the both of them. Hopefully, it was enough to calm him down.


After sending the message, Silvia put her phone away. She composed her emotions, and then she went into the ward to see her mother.


Mrs. Turner asked concerningly, “Silvia, is everything okay?”


“Mom, everything’s fine.” Silvia came to her mother’s side and sat down. “Lemur just called me and reminded me about the activities in school tomorrow.”


“It’s good that everything is fine.” Mrs. Turner touched her daughter’s face. “My silly daughter. Have you not eaten well lately? Look, you’re getting thinner.”


“Mom, I look thin, but my weight’s fine. I’m healthy.” Silvia raised her arm in front of her mother. “Touch it and feel how strong I am.”


“You’re always trying to talk your way out of things.” her mother was amused by Silvia’s words and put a rare smile.


“Mom, I’m your child. You are good with words, so I learnt it from the best.” Silvia knew how to win over her mother’s heart. 


“Silly girl..” In fact, she did not need Silvia to say these pleasant words. As long as she could see her living happily and healthily every day, she would be satisfied.


As they chatted, Mrs. Turner narrowed her eyes in exhaustion. Silvia knew that her mother was tired, so she helped her mother to bed hurriedly. “Mom, take a short nap.”


“I’m not sleepy, I want to talk to you…” Mrs. Turner wanted to make the best out of her time with her daughter, so she tried hard to open her eyes. However, because she couldn’t see her daughter these days, she didn’t sleep well. She became so sleepy that she kept yawning.


“Mom, I will be right here. I won’t leave before you wake up.” Silvia knew that her mother was worried that she would not see her again when she woke up.


“Okay…"  Mrs. Turner closed her eyes slowly. When she fell asleep, she still held on Silvia’s hand tightly.


“Mom, don’t be afraid. I will always be with you.” As she saw how nervous her mother had gotten, Silvia felt as if there was a needle pricking in her heart. She felt so sad that she couldn’t breathe.


Silvia reached out and gently touched her mother’s face. She thought about how much pain and fear her mother must have suffered when that cruel man tormented her these past few days.


Although her mother was in pain and fear, she did not say anything about it to Silvia. She didn’t want Silvia to worry about her.


Silvia bit her lip and thought to herself, “Mom, I will definitely protect you and will never let anyone hurt you again.”
