CHAPTERS 1201 - 1205







CHAPTER 1201 



Mrs. Turner's playful words had caught Andrew by surprise. After being in a daze for a while, Andrew blushed and started to stammer, "Yes... Um, I'd better send you home first then." 


It was fortunate that Silvia did not see how embarrassed he was at that moment. If she were to see it, she would definitely die from laughter. No one would expect the domineering Young Master Carter to be in such an awkward situation. 


Mrs. Turner waved her hand and said, "My house is just down the street. I can go back by myself. You should get back to work now, instead of wasting your time on an old woman like me." 


"Mom, you're not old at all. If you were to go out with Silvia, other people would definitely think that the two of you are sisters." Andrew did not say this just to please Mrs. Turner, as he really thought so. 


Silvia was now twenty years old. Mrs. Turner got married at a young age, so when she gave birth to Silvia, she was only in her early twenties. Now, she was only in her early forties and since she had taken good care of herself, she naturally looked much younger than her true age. 


All women liked to be praised for being young and beautiful and the same went for Mrs. Turner. She was happy to receive such a compliment, and more importantly, the person who praised her was her son-in-law. 


Upon hearing this, Mrs. Turner smiled from ear to ear. "Andrew, it's useless to say these things to an old lady like me. Instead, you should praise Silvia more. If you compliment her, that young lady will be happy for the entire day and she will do anything for you." 


"Okay," Andrew kept Mrs. Turner's words in mind. 


While he was on his way back to the company, he had been thinking about how he could praise that silly girl. He wanted to see her being happy for the whole day. 


As soon as he arrived at the company, Andrew received a message from Silvia, "Hey, I have a question for you. If you've done a big favor for someone, how would you want that person to thank you?" 


Hey? 


In the past, whenever she sent him a message, she would at least address him as 'B‘stard'. But now, she only said 'hey' so nonchalantly, so how would he know who she was talking to? Andrew frowned and did not intend to reply to her message. 


Based on his understanding of Silvia, if he did not reply to her text messages, Silvia would definitely bombard him with messages, until he actually replied her. 


However, Andrew had made a mistake this time. After sending the message, Silvia immediately regretted it. It was true that she wanted to thank him, but she wanted to surprise him! How could she have asked him?! That would she spoil the surprise! 


Silvia thought for a moment and thought of Audrey. She immediately dialled Audrey's number. The phone rang for a while before it connected. Audrey said in a weak voice, "What's the matter, Silvia?" 


"What's wrong with you?" Judging from Audrey's voice, Silvia could tell that something was wrong with Audrey, so she asked worriedly. 


"Let's not talk about me. Why did you call me?" Audrey did not have the strength to even speak anymore. If it wasn't Silvia who was calling, she would not even bother to answer the call at all. 


"I'm fine. But you, what happened to you? Do you need me to go over to your place?" Judging from her voice, Silvia thought that Audrey might actually die in the next second. Because of that, she was no longer in the mood to ask Audrey about how she should thank Andrew. 


"I'm on my period. It hurts so much that I feel like I'm going to die." Audrey howled. "But I've already taken some pills, so the pain will probably go away in a bit. To think about it, it really s'cks that we're women and we have to go through this whole process every single month. I must make sure that I'm born as a man in my next life, so that I'll never have to suffer this kind of pain again." 


Audrey was rattling endlessly, but Silvia didn't respond to any of her words. Audrey called Silvia's name repeatedly and said, "Silvia, are you listening to me? If you are not listening, I'm going to hang up then." 


"Audrey, are you really alright?" Silvia asked sullenly. She immediately thought of herself when she heard Audrey talking about her period. Silvia's period had always been punctual, and it would not hurt that much. However, she had been busy with the company that she had forgotten about everything else. It was only now she had remembered that her period was delayed for two weeks. 


Under normal circumstances, there should be nothing to worry about. However, because of Andrew, that b‘stard who was full of energy, it was inevitable that Silvia would worry about it. 


Could it be that the reason why her period was delayed this time was because... 


However, because of what had happened the last time, Silvia did not dare to think that she was pregnant nor did she dare to tell anyone else about it. If she happened to make a mistake again, she would really become the butt of a joke. 


"I'm much better now. What about you? Why did you call me?" Audrey asked. 


Silvia said, "Actually, it's nothing important at all. You know, Andrew, that b‘stard, did me a big favor, so I wanted to thank him, but I didn't know how to, and that's why I called you." 


Audrey teased, "Silvia, do you really not know, or are you just trying to show off to me? It's so easy if you want to thank him. Just wash up and lie in his bed. Then, let him do whatever he wants with you. I guarantee that he will be satisfied with that." 


Silvia had thought of this idea and she had even thought of buying a set of sexy lingerie. However, she could not do that anymore, because there was a slight possibility that she was... 


"No, no, no..." Silvia quickly pushed the thoughts out of her mind. "I'd better not think about it first. I'll go to the pharmacy to get a pregnancy test and get the test done first. I must get an accurate answer before telling anyone. I must not repeat the same mistake," Silvia thought to herself. 


After hanging up the phone, Silvia changed her clothes and went out alone. After walking out of the villa, she took a taxi and arrived at a pharmacy. 


Before stepping into the pharmacy, Silvia looked around to make sure that no one was following after her. Then, after entering the store, Silvia could not find what she wanted to buy after scouring through the entire shop. Therefore, she had no choice but to ask the staff for help. "Hi, do you have any pregnancy test kits for sale here?" 


The staff who Silvia had asked help from was a middle-aged woman. When she saw that Silvia was a young and thin girl, she could not help shaking her head. "What's wrong with the younger generation nowadays? You're already sleeping with guys at such a young age." 


Silvia thought of explaining for herself. However, she remembered that the staff had nothing to do with her at all, so there was no need to explain. 


Then, the staff found a box of test kits and handed it to Silvia. "Girl, your body belongs to you. Everything would still be fine now because you're young. Once you get older, you will then realize how detrimental it is to do that to your own body." 


Detrimental? Was the woman asking her to give up on the baby? Who said that Silvia wanted to give up on her baby? 


If she was pregnant, she would definitely give birth to the baby. She would not care whether Andrew, that b‘stard, wanted it. No one could stop her baby from coming into this world. 


”Thanks for your concern!" She smiled and hid the pregnancy test under her jacket. After stepping out of the pharmacy, she immediately sent a text message to Andrew, "I'm going back to Mom's place tonight. You don't have to pick me up." 


As soon as the message was sent out, Andrew's phone call came in. "Silvia, do you have to be so petty about it? I was busy just now and that's why I didn't reply to your message. Do you have to be so angry that you have to go back to your mom's place?" 







CHAPTER 1202 



Silvia had already forgotten about the message that she had sent to Andrew. "What are you talking about?" 


Andrew added, "So you‘re not angry at me for not replying to your message? Then tell me who angered you today?" 


Silvia said, "No one!" 


Andrew said, "If that's really the case, then why are you making a fuss? And you‘re going back to your mother's house?" 


"Who said that I was making a fuss?" Silvia corrected, "Also, I really can't stress this enough, that's not just my mom's house, it's my real home." 


Andrew did not want to argue with her about this, because even if she did not want to admit it, she was still his wife. It was the reality that no one could ever change. More importantly, Mrs. Turner was on Andrew's side now. "Tell me where you are now. I will go pick you up right away." 


Before she could be sure of the reason why her period was delayed, Silvia did not want Andrew to find out about it. She only wanted to go home to test it out, but why couldn't he just leave her alone? 


Silvia raised her eyebrows and said in displeasure, "You b‘stard, I've said that I'm going home tonight. Why can't you just let me be? Is it that hard to let me do what I want for once?" 


Andrew did not understand why Silvia was behaving this way so he said, "Silvia, tell me where you are. If you want to go home, it would have to be me who send you home. Otherwise, don't ever think about going home." 


Silvia did not want to tell Andrew, but in her heart, she hoped that he would be by her side. After hesitating for a while, she ended up telling him where she was. 


Not long after, Andrew arrived in his car, and he saw that Silvia was standing at the side of the road, braving the cold wind like an idiot. Andrew immediately got out of the car, took off his coat, and wrapped it around her shoulders. "Are you stupid or something? Can't you find a place that's less windy and wait for me there?" 


Silvia rubbed her reddened nose and said sullenly, "That's right. I am stupid. If you dislike me because I'm stupid, then it's still not too late for you to regret it." 


”What are you talking about?" With a dissatisfied look, Andrew caressed her head and thought that this girl was acting way too weird that day. Something must have happened to her. "Tell me, what happened?" 


It definitely was not about Wateria Corporation. If anything had happened to Wateria Corporation, Wayne would definitely report to Andrew immediately. Therefore, it must be something personal to Silvia. 


Silvia had always been a strong girl. Except for pretending to be sad, she had almost never shed a tear. But at this moment when she saw Andrew, she did not know why her heart was suddenly softened and she even felt like crying. "Young Master Carter..." 


Andrew took her into his arms and comforted her in a gentle voice, "Silvia, just tell me what happened. As long as I am by your side, I'll never let anyone bully you." 


Silvia rubbed her face against his chest like a child. "Hold me tighter." 


Andrew was more than happy to satisfy her request. He tightened his arms around her and asked patiently, "Did something happen? Tell me, okay? You have to believe that I will be able to help you no matter what it is." 


Silvia sniffled and said softly, "Can't I just ask you to hug me for no reasons? We haven't seen each other for the whole day, do you not want to hug me at all?" 


Yes! Of course he wanted to! 


Andrew really wished that he could hold her tightly forever. However, he was even more worried about her. He wanted to know what had happened to her. "Silvia, I really want to hug you, but..." 


Silvia interrupted him. "Why do you have so many buts. If you want to hug me, then just hug me tightly. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" 


Therefore, Andrew stopped talking. Since she had asked him to hold her, then he would hold her. Andrew knew her temper very well. If she didn't want to say it, he would never be able to get anything out of her no matter how many times he asked. Hence, he would just wait until she was ready. 


After a long while, Silvia noticed that Andrew had stopped asking her about it. She felt a little aggrieved, so she raised her head from his chest and said pitifully, "Andrew, why aren't you asking me about it anymore? Do you not care about me at all?" 


Women were indeed strange creatures. When Andrew asked her, Silvia didn't want to tell him about it. But when he finally stopped asking, she would then blame him for not caring about her. If he had a choice, Andrew really wished that he would never have to deal with women for the rest of his life. 


However, the girl he was dealing with was Silvia Turner. He didn't mind her making a fuss and her capricious behavior at all. He said patiently, "Of course I do. I want to know what happened to you, but I also respect your wishes. I don't want to force you to tell me." 


Silvia was feeling a little better after letting her emotions out. When she saw Andrew being so patient with her, it warmed up her heart in an instant. "Andrew, actually... My... My period is delayed by two weeks...“ 


"Your period is delayed by two weeks? Let's go see a doctor then." That was Andrew's first reaction. He thought that there might be something wrong with Silvia's body. However, after a long time, he finally realized, "Silvia, you... you are preg...“ 


Silvia covered his mouth with her hand and explained in a hurry, "I'm saying that my period is delayed. I haven't done the test, so it's not confirmed yet. Don't have too high of an expectation, okay?“ 


"Whether you are pregnant or not, you should be more careful. I will send you to the hospital to do a check-up now." After knowing that Silvia might be pregnant, Andrew was even more nervous than Silvia, treating her like a real pregnant lady! 


Silvia took out the pregnancy test that she had just bought at the pharmacy and said, "Let's use this first. It would be so embarrassing if we go to the hospital to the test but I end up not being pregnant." 


"What about it that's so embarrassing? Let‘s go to the hospital to do the test." Andrew nervously carried Silvia into the car and drove to the hospital. While they were on their way to the hospital, Andrew did not forget to comfort her. "It doesn't matter if you're pregnant or not. We don't have to rush into it." 


He said so, but in fact, Andrew really wished that Silvia was pregnant this time. If she really was, he would then have one more reason to keep her by his side. He would not have to worry about the day he wakes up and she's no longer there. 


"I'm still young, so of course, I'm not rushing for a baby. I really hope that I'm not pregnant." Silvia was just anxiously spouting nonsense. She was worried that all of these would turn out to be a misunderstanding like the last time. 


As soon as she said that, Andrew's face fell and he did not say anything else. Silvia realized that she had made a mistake and Andrew was unhappy about it. Hence, she carefully tugged at the edge of his shirt and said pitifully, "It's because I'm scared." 


At such a time, how could Andrew get mad at her or ignore her? He removed his right hand from the steering wheel and held her hand tightly in his palm. "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you." 


Silvia nodded. "Okay." With him by her side, she indeed felt much more at ease. 


Before going over to the hospital, Andrew had contacted one of the top gynecologists. When they arrived, there was already a nurse who was waiting to receive them. The nurse then led Silvia to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department for a consultation. 


The wait was long and tormenting. When the results were out, Andrew was so nervous that he did not dare to ask the doctor about it. It was Silvia who spoke first, "Doctor, how is it?" 


The doctor glanced over the two of them and said slowly, "Mrs. Carter, you are not pregnant. Your menstruation is delayed probably due to a long period of stress. In other words, either you haven't had a proper rest or you have been practicing an irregular lifestyle for an extended period of time." 







CHAPTER 1203 



As soon as they heard that Silvia was not pregnant, there was an obvious disappointment in both Andrew and Silvia's eyes. The doctor wanted to comfort them, but Andrew held Silvia's hand tightly and said, "Silly girl, you are still young. We are not in a hurry." 


But in fact, he was very eager for her to have his baby too! He had been working hard making love to Silvia as he wanted her to get pregnant as soon as possible. However, at the same time, he did not want to put any pressure on her. 


The doctor echoed, "That's right, both of you are still young. You really can't rush into it when comes to this. If you really want to get pregnant, you can prepare for it by reconditioning your body. Then, the baby you conceive would be healthier." 


Silvia forced a smile and said, "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. However, this guy is getting older now, so I guess he should be anxious. After all, the older a person is, the more difficult it would be to make a baby, right? What if he ends up having no children to pass on his lineage?" 


This young lady really had a wicked tongue! 


Andrew then waved his hand, indicating for the doctor to leave. As soon as the doctor left, Silvia immediately stared at Andrew. "Young Master Carter, I mean, is there something wrong with you?" 


Both of them did not use any form of protection every time they had s‘x, and he had been working so hard every time, so why was Silvia not pregnant yet? 


"There's something wrong with me?" Andrew reached out his hand and pinched her face. "Silvia, who was the one who cried and asked me to be more gentle with her last night?" How dare this woman question him? She really deserved punishment! 


"You're hurting me." Silvia patted his hand away. "If there's nothing wrong with you, then why wasn't I pregnant? Don't you try and find an excuse to defend yourself. Don't forget, we never used contraception during s‘x!" 


Andrew didn't know what to say. 


Seeing that he was keeping his silence, Silvia added, "There must be something wrong with you. If you don't believe me, then let's do a thorough check up now." 


Andrew got up and said, "What checkup? We're going home now." 


Silvia followed him closely. "Why? You're not the only one doing it anyway. We'll do it together. Don't be afraid, I'll be there with you." 


Andrew looked back at her and said, "So you really want to be pregnant with my child so badly?" 


Silvia glared at him and defended, "Who wants to be pregnant with your child? I just wanted to find out the truth. After all, the test won't harm you. As long as you are fine, you won't have to worry about it again when you're with another woman in the future." 


Andrew said in a deep voice, “Silvia, are you asking for a beating?" 


Silvia said in frustration, "Why can't you understand it? Alright, if you're not going to do it, I will do it instead. As long as there's nothing wrong with me, then the problem must be on you." 


"I dare you!" Thinking that she would have to lie on the operating table while the doctor took swabs and inserted scopes in her, Andrew immediately burst into anger. "Silvia, I warn you. Don‘t you ever think of doing such a thing again." 


Silvia glared at him. "Andrew Carter!" 


He said, "I'll do the test!" 


Seeing that he had compromised for her, Silvia hugged his arm and said, "Andrew, if you find out that there's something wrong with you, don't be too sad about it. I am a kind person, and perhaps, I won't be ashamed of you." 


Andrew said, "I dare you to do that." 


Silvia said, "Old man, you're already at this age, but why are you still being so petty?" 


Andrew held Silvia in his arms and gave her a deep kiss. "I'll teach you a lesson once we get back home tonight." 


Since he could not win her with words, then he would subdue her using actions! 


Not too long after, the test results were finally out. It proved that there was nothing wrong with Andrew's reproductive system at all. 


If he had no problem, then it was likely that the problem lay within Silvia. However, Andrew did not want Silvia to find out about it, so he had asked the doctor to keep it a secret. 


He said to Silvia, "The doctor said that we should come get the test results tomorrow." 


Silvia comforted him and said, "Don't worry. No matter what, to me, you are still the brave and strong Young Master Carter." 


Andrew loved listening to these words. He smiled and said, "Such a sweet-talker! You‘re getting better at pleasing others now!" 


Silvia was happy to receive a compliment, so she snuggled into his arms like a cute kitten and said, "It's because you‘ve taught me well." 


Andrew held her hand and said, "Let's go home." 


Silvia nodded and said, "Thank you, Young Master Carter!" 


Andrew said, "What are you thanking me for?" 


Silvia said, "I just want to thank you!" 


She had planned to thank him for helping her out. However, her plans were disrupted by the hospital visit. Although she couldn't do anything to thank him, she still wanted to thank him verbally. 


Andrew poked her head and asked, "Is your brain damaged or something?" 


Silvia nodded. "I guess so?" 


She realized that ever since she was with him, she had been using a lot lesser of her brain. Sometimes, she was so well protected that she had almost forgotten what her name was. If went on like this, she might really become an idiot soon. 


Andrew said, "You better take care of that brain, or else I'll kick you in the a's.“ 


Silvia raised her fist and punched him. "I warn you, Andrew. Only I can kick you. If you dare to kick me, I will make you pay for it." 


Their relationship started off with him forcing himseIf on her. If it were to end, she must the one who did it... However, why did the thought of them ending their relationship made her feel so awful? 


Forget it, she didn't want to think about it anymore. Since the two of them were together now, then she would make sure that she lived her life to the fullest extent. Even if they were to go separate ways in the future, she would not have regrets about this relationship. 


Andrew ruffled her hair and said, "I will never let you have the chance to do that to me." 


Silvia smiled and said, "Then you better listen to me, and do whatever I say... don't get angry at me, don't punish me, and don't be such a control freak..." 


Andrew said, "Yes! My dear wife!" 


Silvia pinched him his arm and said, "Who's your wife? Don't just call me anything you like, alright?" 


She said that she was not his wife, but the look in her eyes and her lips which were slightly curved, were all saying that she was enjoying it. 


Although it was just another blunder and the baby they were eager to have did not actually exist, they still had each other. Their life ahead was still bright and they would never be lonely again. 


...............


As the investigation on Mr. Donald continued, the police began to unravel more of his secrets. Each of his crimes was enough to lock him up in prison for decades. It could be said that his life was completely over. 


After Mr. Donald was convicted, the appointment of the new chancellor was set into action. It was said that the new chancellor was completely new to the school, having never assumed any position at the school before, and this was unheard of in the history of University A. Perhaps this was an extraordinary person. 


In the past week, while everyone was discussing about the new chancellor, they were also paying attention to the person who had posted the article on the school's forum. However, up till this day, there was no one who had managed to find out who that person was. It was as if that person did not exist at all. 


On that day, Silvia arrived at the campus early, which was somewhat rare. As she arrived at the lecture hall, almost all her classmates were already there. When Prince  and Lemur saw her, the two of them immediately went over to her. 







CHAPTER 1204 



Prince said, "Boss, I heard that a big shot has sponsored our school with a huge amount of funding. Also, lecturers who have not been doing their jobs well would be fired and they would be replaced with top lecturers from elsewhere." 


"Big shot?" Silvia immediately thought of Andrew. However, she guessed that he would not have that much time to meddle in the university's affairs. Unless... He really had nowhere else to spend his money, so he decided to spend it on the university? 


"If it really was that b‘stard Andrew, he could have just asked me to spend his money if he didn't know what to spend on!" Silvia thought. 


She had many different ideas on how to spend the money. 


For instance, she recently had the idea of opening her own restaurant. The restaurant would serve a variety of cuisines. Therefore, no matter what she wanted to eat, she could just go to her own restaurant and have them all in one place. 


Prince nodded and said, “Yeah, that's right. Since that person could actually sponsor our university, that would only mean that he's a big shot. It seems that our school will be having a huge internal adjustment very soon. 


Silvia asked, "Who told you that?“ 


Lemur replied, "Everyone in school knew about it already. You're the only one who doesn't know anything. I guess you're starting to lose touch with reality while you live the pampered life as the wife of a rich man." 


Silvia rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who are you calling the wife of a rich man? Can't you just speak properly for once?" 


Seeing that Lemur was getting refuted, Prince said with a smug, "Boss, we've also heard about something else, but we're not sure if it's true and if we should tell you about it." 


Silvia picked up the pen and knocked it against Prince's head. "Do you guys want me to beat you up? Stop making me guess already. If you have something to say, then report it to me directly. Else, I will make you regret it!" 


Prince said, "This rumor has something to do with you." 


Silvia said, "That's not something new! I've had so many rumors about me going around!" 


For the past two years, there were rumors about Silvia having a sugar daddy, and that she had a strong backer in the university. They were all outrageous! 


"It's about Felix." Prince knew how much Silvia cared about Felix, so he was very worried when he caught wind of this. 


As expected, when Silvia heard the word 'Felix', her face fell a little and she immediately asked, "What is it?" 


Prince gave Lemur a knowing look and they both know that they could not hide it from Silvia forever, so they decided to tell her. "A few months ago, Felix suddenly disappeared right before graduation. He was not dropping out of school nor did he get suspended, so how could a person just disappear all of a sudden? His family said that he passed away, but we didn't even see his ashes, let alone his body. It wasn't just you, but many of us, who didn't believe that he was dead." 


Felix's disappearance was something that had been bothering Silvia for so long. Up till now, she stilI could not figure out why Felix had gone missing out of a sudden. Felix was not the kind of person who would abandon her when she was in trouble. "What are you guys trying to say?" 


Prince added, "What I'm trying to say is that Felix is not dead, but he disappeared from the university. Have you never thought that it's fishy?" 


Of course, Silvia had doubted it before. 


However, she could not find any clues on what happened to Felix. 


Lemur then said, "Boss, you have also suspected it, but you can't find any evidence. However, there's a rumor saying that Felix has offended some big shot, so it was that big shot who made him disappear from our school and he had even kicked him out of Madison City." 


"A big shot?" Silvia immediately thought of Andrew again. However she quickly denied that thought. 


All of these happened a few months ago, and Silvia had not met Andrew at that time. Hence, Felix would not have the chance to offend Andrew. It wouldn't be Andrew... It couldn't be him... 


Prince and Lemur said worriedly, "Boss..." 


"Where did you hear these things though?" Silvia was a little flustered, but she did not even know what she was worried about. Perhaps it was because of the word "big shot" that made her think of Andrew. 


Prince said again, "I don't know where the news came from, but it started spreading among the students today. I don't know how true the rumor is, but Boss, every rumor has its grounds! The only thing I was confused about was, why did it start spreading only today?" 


"I think that's strange too." Silvia clenched her fists. "If this is real, I'd definitely hunt him down and avenge Felix no matter who that person is." 


Even if she would not think of being Felix's wife anymore, they were still childhood playmates who grew up together. She had never forgotten his kindness and how well he treated her back then. 


Whenever she had been wronged, Felix would stand by her side to protect her, support her, and encourage her. Of course, if someone were to do harm to him, she would also do her best to avenge him and bring him justice. 


Prince said worriedly, "Boss, now that Wateria Corporation is finally back on track, and your relationship with Young Master Carter is going well, it would be the best if you don't meddle in this matter anymore." 


Silvia raised her eyebrows and asked, "So, if I suddenly went missing one day and you guys found out that someone was behind it, will you not do anything about it?" 


Prince and Lemur answered simultaneously, "Of course we will do something about it. How can we just stand by and do nothing?" 


Silvia patted their shoulders and said, "This is why the two of you are my best friends. If something were to happen to anyone of you, I will definitely avenge you, even if it means sacrificing my life." 


Prince and Lemur could not refute her. Yes, Silvia was right. Even if they were not lovers, they were still friends who grew up together. As long as either of them was in trouble, the other would not just sit by and watch. 


Moreover, Silvia was a loyal person, who would never abandon her friends. 


At the same time, Andrew had also received a report. It was a report that was extremely important to him. 


The report clearly stated that Silvia had a low basal body temperature, which would make it difficult for her to conceive a baby. This was the actual reason why Silvia was still not pregnant despite them having s’x regularly. 


After reading the report, Andrew frowned and looked up at the doctor. He said with a solemn look, "So it was her low basal temperature which is making it hard for her to conceive? And even if she conceived, will she be prone to miscarriage? How can we solve this problem, Doctor?" 


"Yes. Therefore, it would be better for Mrs. Carter not to get pregnant before her body is in good condition. Otherwise, a miscarriage may happen and it would be very detrimental to her body." The doctor explained while observing Andrew's reaction. 


"Mr. Carter, there are two reasons for Mrs. Carter's low body temperature, which is either her personal health or an irregular lifestyle. From what we checked, it seems to be the former case. She must have had a cold long ago and it was not treated in time, causing permanent damage to her health." 


"Caught a cold and not treated in time? What kind of cold would have such a great effect on her body?" At that instant, Andrew immediately thought about everything that he knew about Silvia. 







CHAPTER 1205 



Soon enough, Andrew recalled the time when Silvia was abducted and thrown into a tub of ice water for several hours, and she almost lost her life. He told the doctor, "A few years ago, she was almost frozen to death after being soaked in ice water for a few hours. Does it have anything to do with this?“ 


"Mr. Carter, that's most probably the cause of it." Since they had found the reason, the doctor was a little excited, and her pitch got higher. However, when she saw Andrew's somber face, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Sir, you don't need to worry too much. It's not a serious issue and it can be easily treated. Mrs. Carter only needs to recondition her body and she will be able to conceive again." 


At this moment, Andrew was only concerned about Silvia's health. As for whether she could get pregnant or not, was secondary. The doctor said a lot but she did not mention anything that Andrew was concerned about. 


Andrew was very dissatisfied. He raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Just get to the point!“ 


The doctor was a little confused. Everything that she had said just now was the main point. What else did Andrew want to know? 


The doctor‘s body language reading skills were being put to the test. She looked at Andrew's solemn face and could understand his concern. "Mr. Carter, I'll prescribe some homeopathic medication for Mrs. Carter to recondition her body and I'll make a list for you on what she should take note of every day. Coupled up with a healthy diet, there will be an improvement in Mrs. Carter's health very soon." 


The doctor said a lot but Andrew replied coldly, "She hates bitter food." 


Was there any medicine that was not bitter though? The doctor wanted to say that to him, but she did not dare to do so. She said, "Mr. Carter, that's not a problem at all. I will find a way to make the medicine less bitter." 


Andrew was satisfied with the doctor's answer. Without saying anything else, Andrew waved his hand at the doctor, asking her to leave. 


After the doctor left, Andrew suddenly wanted to listen to Silvia's voice. He immediately called her on the phone, but the call did not get through. Perhaps, she was still in class. 


Not long after, Silvia returned the call. As soon as he answered the phone, he could hear her saying, "Andrew, why did you call me? You called me when l was in class. Do you not know that I can't be on my phone when I'm in class?" 


Listening to her noisy chatter, Andrew suddenly felt much more at ease. He smiled and said, "If I want to can you, I'll give you a call. I don't care if you are in class or not." 


As soon as he said this, Silvia started grumbling, "Young Master Carter, can you stop being so overbearing? Can't you be a little gentler and more considerate of me? Why do you have to be like this and make women hate you?" 


Andrew chuckled and said, "Don't women like men who are somewhat overbearing?" 


Silvia rolled her eyes and said, "Young Master Carter, who told you such nonsense?" 


Silvia guessed that whoever told him that was most probably a rival in love out to sabotage him! 


All men knew that women should be doted on. It would be very difficult for an overbearing man like Andrew to get any woman to like and marry him. Andrew must have been a national hero in his past life to be so lucky to marry her in this life! 


Andrew spoke in a confident tone, "It's just common sense, do I actually need someone else to tell me these?" 


Silvia was completely speechless at his answer, so she said, "Alright, you're the mighty young master of the Carter family, whatever you say is correct. I won't argue with you." 


In fact, Andrew was teasing her because he wanted her to argue with him. "Wow, aren't you the master of arguments? So why did you admit defeat so easily this time? This is very unlike you!" 


"Because there is no way to reason with a pompous young master like you. I will always lose no matter what, so why should I torture myself?" Silvia shrugged and said, "Young Master Carter, if there's nothing else, I'm going to hang up the phone now. I need to pay attention to class so that l can become an excellent student." 


However, Andrew stopped her. "Silvia..." 


Silvia asked, "What's wrong?" 


Andrew shook his head. "Nothing." 


Andrew did not know what was wrong. He had been feeling somewhat uneasy, but when he heard Silvia's voice, his heart was at ease, and so he did not want her to hang up. 


Silvia sensed that Andrew's tone was a little strange, so she asked carefully, "Young Master Carter, is something wrong?" 


"No, nothing. By the way, I'll be picking you up earlier later." Andrew couldn't help but think that it was a little absurd. He had been through all sorts of hardships, but he could never stop himself from worrying when it came to anything that was related to Silvia. 


Even when he was on the brink of death, he had never panicked. However, when he heard that Silvia had some minor health problems, he was so inexplicably uneasy. 


It was probably because he had been lonely for too long. Now that there was a woman who had warmed up his cold heart, he was afraid that he might lose her one day. And that was why he was so anxious. 


"Young Master Carter, you were the one who asked me to be a good student, but you're now asking me to skip class? Why are you being so unruly now?" Despite this, Silvia liked it. It was not her first time skipping class anyway, so it wouldn't matter if she were to do it again. 


Andrew asked, "Just tell me if you're okay with that." 


Silvia said with a smile, "Can I actually say that I'm not okay with that though?" 


Firstly, he would never give her a chance to refuse his request. Secondly and more importantly, she was also reluctant to refuse his invitation. She also wanted to spend more time with him. Even if they were to do nothing, she would be content being able to stay by his side. 


Andrew said, "That's a deal then." 


Silvia nodded. "Okay." 


Andrew added, "You should hang up then." 


Silvia said, "You hang up first." 


Andrew said, "Be a good girl, you should hang up first." 


Silvia said, "Okay, I'll hang up first then." 


"Ew... You guys are so disgusting. I really can't bear it anymore." Silvia had just hung up the phone when she saw Prince and Lemur looking at her, "Boss, it seems like you've fallen for Young Master Carter's charm." 


”Speak properly, can you?" Silvia clenched her fists. "Don't you think that it's not very nice to say that I've fallen for his charm? I'm warning you guys, the two of you better not talk any more nonsense." 


Prince said, "Boss, do you know what you looked like when you were on the phone? Anyone who saw you could tell that you're in love, okay? So don't deny it anymore. In fact, the more you deny it, the more it shows that you're trying to hide it." 


At that instant, Silvia flung her fist at Prince and gave him a punch on the back. "You little brat, I told you not to talk nonsense, but you just keep going on. Was it because I haven't beaten you up lately so you're asking for it now?" 


Prince massaged the spot where Silvia had punched him and said with great grievance, "But what I said was the truth, so why can't we talk about it? You're a tyrant!" 


Looking at his pitiful Iook, Silvia stroked Prince's head and comforted him, "Well, you shouldn't have said that I've fallen for Young Master Carter's charm. Instead, you should've said that he was the one who had fallen into my trap and he will never be able to escape from me anymore." 


After listening to Silvia's words, Prince and Lemur did not want to argue with her anymore. They could never win her in a fight, nor could they win her in an argument, so what was the point of arguing with her? 


However, they really had to admit that their boss was getting more thick-skinned recently.

LM 

CHAPTERS 1196 - 1200







CHAPTER 1196 



Seeing that Silvia had sat down, Alina was a little puffed up. "Would you like to order a drink for yourself?" 


Silvia said coldly, "No thanks. Just get straight to the point already. I don't want to see your face any longer and I believe that you don't want to see mine either. So stop making things harder for both of us." 


Alina shook the wine glass in her hand and said, "If I remembered it correctly, you are very good at drinking, aren't you? So why aren’t you drinking now? Are you afraid that I will poison you?" 


Silvia did not want to drink because she had promised Andrew to not drink for the entire month. She did not want to anger him again, so she had to keep her promise. However, there was no need for her to explain all that to Alina, so she replied, "That's right. I'm really scared that you will poison me. I believe that you would want to do that if you could." 


"Yeah, I really wanted to poison you. But if I really wanted to do that, I would have chosen a place where no one else was around, right?" Alina looked around. "There are so many surveillance cameras here. If I were to poison you, I would be digging my own grave, wouldn't I? My life still has its meaning, I don't want to lose it because of that cheap life of yours.“ 


"You're absolutely right. You can't wait to poison me to death, and I can't wait to see you die. So could you please tell me what you want from me now?" Silvia did not have the patience to chat with Alina anymore. Rather than wasting her time listening to her bullsh‘t, she might as well chat with Andrew on the phone, right? 


Whenever they chatted on the phone, she would be the one who did most of the talking and he would only reply to her message occasionally, but she was still happy. 


"Well, since you don't want to drink with me, I will just get straight to the point then." Alina took out a thumb drive from her bag and placed it in front of Silvia. "This is a big gift from me to you. Take it back and look at it alone. Make sure that you don't let your two male friends see it." 


"You're giving me a huge gift but I can't watch it with my male friends?" Silvia picked up the USB flash drive and looked at it. "What's in it?" 


"You'll have to see for yourself. I can guarantee that you will thank me after you're done watching it." Alina raised her glass and finished the drink in it. "You're just so lucky throughout your entire life, Silvia." 


Silvia was not in the mood to listen to Alina’s nonsense anymore. She got up and wanted to leave, but Alina grabbed on to her arm. "In the past, you had Felix who loved you and protected you, so no one dared to touch you. Now that Felix is gone, you've got Andrew by your side instead. Tell me, what is it about you that could make them fall for you?" 


"Even if you asked me, I wouldn't know the answer." Silvia kept the USB flash drive in her pocket and continued, "If you want to know, then you should go ask them and not me." 


"Do you think I've never thought of that?" She really wanted to ask them. If she knew the reason, she could then make them fall for her. However, she did not have the opportunity to do that at all. 


In the past, Felix and Alina were schoolmates and they were both members of the student council. They had spent a lot of time together, but no matter what tricks Alina had used on him, Felix would not even bat an eye. 


As for Andrew, she could not even get close to him, let alone to make him notice her. 


"Then go ask them." After that, Silvia immediately turned around and walked away, leaving Alina looking at her back and gnashing her teeth in hatred. 


Alina's mind had always been wicked, and Silvia knew about it all these while. 


The things that Alina had given her would never be of any good. Silvia knew that she should not have accepted it. However, she was curious about the content in it, so she ended up accepting the USB flash drive that Alina had given her. 


As for the contents, Silvia would have to take a look at home. Once Silvia got home, she immediately rushed to her bedroom and turned on the laptop. 


The moment she opened the folder in the thumb drive, Silvia was stunned. The thumb drive was full of explicit pictures and videos of different women. 


After taking a careful look at the pictures, Silvia noticed that the shooting angle was somewhat unusual. If she had guessed correctly, these photos must have been secretly taken without those women's consent. 


Silvia clicked on the mouse and scrolled through the folder. As she continued to flip through it, she saw an extremely familiar face. 


She was familiar with this face because she saw it in the mirror every single day. It was herself. 


In that photo, she was in her undergarments. Except for her private parts, her whole body was exposed in the picture. 


"D‘mn it, who did this?" 


Silvia observed the pictures carefully. Judging from the backgrounds, Silvia was somewhat sure that the pictures were taken in her dormitory on campus. 


Could it be that someone had installed a pinhole camera in her dormitory? 


Silvia continued to look through the photos. After looking through more than a hundred of them, she finally came across two other female students who had shared the same dormitory with her. However, their situation was way worse than hers. They were completely naked in the photos. 


D‘mn it! Who the f‘ck did this? 


How could such a thing happen in such a prestigious university in Madison City? 


Silvia picked up her mobile phone and wanted to call the principal to report this matter to him. However, before she could press on the call button, she suddenly realized that it was already late in the evening. 


The principal had already got off work, and no one would be in the principal's office to answer the phone. 


However, she was not in a hurry. As long as she had the evidence with her, she could still report to the principal the next morning. 


Just as Silvia was immersed in her thoughts, a deep male voice suddenly sounded behind her. "What are you looking at? You're so engrossed in it." 


"Oh, it's nothing..." Silvia shut the laptop. She did not want Andrew to know that she was being photographed without her consent. 


"If there's nothing then let's go downstairs to have dinner." Andrew knew that she was hiding something from him, but he decided not to ask her about it. He knew that he would not be able to get her to tell him anything anyway. If he really wanted to know, asking her was not the only way. He had his own means to find out. 


"Okay." Silvia nodded obediently. 


Throughout the entire meal, Silvia had been lowering her head and thinking about those pictures in the thumb drive. She was so occupied by the thought that she did not even have a piece of the buffalo wings that Auntie Cherry had prepared for her. Seeing her being like this, Andrew was even more certain that something must have happened to her. 


He picked up a piece of the buffalo wings and put it on Silvia's plate. "This is your favorite dish, why aren't you eating it?" 


Silvia took another bite of her food and said sulienly, “I don't feel quite well so I didn't feel like eating it. Um, you can continue eating, I'll go upstairs first." 


Andrew stopped her. "Silvia!" 


Silvia asked, "Yeah?" 


Andrew said, "Do you still remember what I told you?" 


Silvia said, "You've said so many things to me. How would I know which one you are referring to?" 


Andrew then said, "Sit down and tell me honestly. What happened?" 


Andrew was frustrated to see this young lady in such a depressed state but still chose not to tell him about it. Silvia asked, "Huh? Did something happen?" 


Andrew raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure that you're alright?" 


She did not want to tell him about it, but it seemed like he was going to get mad at her again. Silvia did not want him to get angry, therefore after hesitating for a while, she decided to tell him. 


"Someone had taken some pictures of me without my consent. It's not only me. My roommates and the other girls at the university had fallen victim to it too. There were explicit pictures, and also videos..." The more Silvia talked about it, the more emotional she was. "F’ck, if I ever find out who did this, I'll definitely skin him alive." 







CHAPTER 1197 



Silvia was furious. There were so many videos and photos! it was possible that almost every single female student at the university had their pictures taken. 


"Young Master Carter, could you please help me analyze this? Who on earth could pull this off?" 


After listening to Silvia's statement, a sharp look flashed in Andrew's eyes. However, he quickly disguised it, saying calmly, "Okay, I got it. 


"You got it?" She had just told him that she got photographed. Shouldn't he at least expressed anger about it or even comfort her. 


Who would have thought that Andrew, this son of a b‘tch, would act like nothing had happened after listening to the entire story, right? And the only response that he had given her was, "I got it." 


No matter what, she was still his legally wedded wife. Now that his wife was being secretly photographed. How could he as her husband react so indifferently? 


Was this a normal reaction that a man would have? 


"Andrew Carter, you..." Silvia was disappointed in him. She did not know how to react to his indifference so she said, "Forget it, I'm going to bed now. Don't come over and disturb me later. I don't want to talk to you." 


She was really angry at Andrew. It was alright for him to act like this if he did not know about anything. But now that he knew, he was still acting so calmly and indifferently. His behavior had annoyed her. 


If this was to happen in the past, Silvia would definitely get into a fight with him. However, she was now learning to control her temper, to compromise with, and to get along with him. 


Regardless of the seriousness of the matter, as long as it was related to Silvia, it would be a big deal to Andrew. Moreover, what happened this time was utterly serious. Andrew obviously cared about it. However, he was not like her. He would never show all his feelings to everyone. "Don't bother yourself with this matter anymore." 


“You... Andrew, don't let me see your face again tonight and don't talk to me. I don't want to get into a fight with you." She and her roommates were being photographed without their consent. Since she had already gotten her hands on the evidence, how could she just ignore it? 


Silvia really could not figure out what this man was thinking. Perhaps, all he cared about was all those women. For instance, that beautiful Dr. Thames. 


Andrew said, "Just listen to me." 


"Andrew, I must be a dumb‘ss if I actually listen to you." Silvia glared at him fiercely. Then she turned around and ran upstairs. 


She must not let this matter go just like this. She had decided that she would hand in the evidence to the chancellor first thing the next morning so that the chancellor could assemble a special team to investigate this matter. Then, she would not have to worry that the culprit behind all of these would continue to be on the lam. 


...... 


After Andrew was done with his work, he went back to his room and noticed that Silvia was not in the room. Whenever this young lady was angry at him, she would definitely sleep in separate rooms with him. 


If she didn't come to his room, did she think that he would not go over to her room instead? This silly girl actually thought that she could stop him from getting close to her like this. What a childish thought she had. 


After taking a shower, Andrew went over to Silvia's room only with a towel wrapped around his body. When he went into her room, he found that she was already deep asleep. However, she was still holding on to the laptop in her arms. 


One of the great things about Silvia was that no matter how serious the matter she was facing at the moment, she would still be able to eat and sleep normally. She would never worry about the things that she had no control over. 


He sat on her bedside, and took the laptop away. Then, he covered her with the blanket as he said, "Silly woman, why are you so dumb? How could I tolerate someone who takes explicit pictures of my woman?" 


Of course not! 


He pinched her cheek, and got to the other side of the bed, and sat next to her. He turned on her laptop, clicked on the album, and deleted all the pictures of Silvia. 


No matter how her body looked, it was only for him. If anyone else wanted to see her body, he would make them blind. 


After deleting Silvia's photos, Andrew took out his mobile phone and made a phone call. "Someone had been sneaking shots of the female students at University A. I want you to look into it, and let me know what you've got by tomorrow morning." 


After making the phone call, Andrew placed the laptop on the nightstand. He lay down and held Silvia, who was sleeping like a log, in his arms. Then he began reclaim the debts that she had owed him for the past few days. 


Silvia, who was woken up by his movements, grabbed on to his hand and said, "Stop it, Andrew! I want to sleep!" 


"You can continue sleeping. I will just..." His wife was right in his arms. He did not want to restrain himself any longer, not even for a second more. Therefore, he had made up his mind that he would reclaim all the debts that she had owed him. 


"Andrew, ah... don't, can you not..." Silvia resisted him. However, all men had a strong desire to conquer the opposite s‘x. Therefore, the more she struggled, the more excited he was. 


In just one night, the two of them had made love a few times. In the end, Silvia was so worn out that she was lying feebly in his arms and she barely had the energy to breathe. "You are an animal!" 


After staying up for the entire night, Silvia had undoubtedly woken up late the next morning. She was late for her class again. 


Before this, she was always late for classes because she was busy with work. However, it was different that day. It was all because of Andrew, that animal who did not know what self-abstinence was. 


Silvia dragged her exhausted body to the classroom. When Prince saw her, he quickly leaned into Silvia's ear and said, "Boss, something huge has happened." 


Judging from Prince's reaction, Silvia instinctively patted on the thumb drive that was in her pocket. Could it be that Prince had already found out about it? 


However, Prince did not notice Silvia's unusual behavior so he continued with a sigh, "As the saying goes, we should never judge a book by its cover. Mr. Donald is really the epitome of this saying." 


"What? What's wrong with Mr. Donald?" Silvia's initial plan was to go to the chancellor's office to look for Mr. Donald after this class. Could it be that the culprit had already known that she was going to see Mr. Donald so he acted before her and framed Mr. Donald? Or perhaps Mr. Donald had already found out about the incident and had already caught the culprit? 


Prince put on a complacent look and said, "Boss, something happened to Mr. Donald. Didn't you hear about it yet?" 


Silvia shook her head. "I haven't heard of it. What happened to him?" 


Prince said, "You probably also aren't aware that something big is going to happen in our school, right?" 


Silvia's face was full of confusion. "What is it?" 


Prince said, "Mr. Donald had forced quite a number of female students to sleep with him. This includes Alina, who was recently expelled." 


Silvia's head was buzzing as she heard the news. It had taken her quite a long time to react to it. "Prince, don't talk nonsense! You really shouldn't be joking about these things." 


Prince said, "Exactly. I know that it's a serious issue, so do you think I will actually joke about things like this? I'm really telling the truth. You're probably the only person on campus who doesn't know about this yet." 


Silvia still couldn't believe that the kind and gentle Mr. Donald would do such a thing. "Prince, are you sure it was Mr. Donald and not someone else?" 


Prince took out his mobile phone and logged on to the university's online forum. He searched for the post involving Mr. Donald's incident and handed the phone over to Silvia. "An anonymous person had posted this on the school's online forum at 3 AM. this morning." 


Silvia took over the phone and read the post carefully. The post had a detailed breakdown on all the crimes that Mr. Donald had committed. 







CHAPTER 1198 



The anonymous post stated how Mr. Donald had abused his power and forced his female students to sleep with him. Besides that, he was also the one who installed the pinhole cameras in the female dormitory and he had even stolen undergarments that belonged to some of the female students. 


The more she read, the more shocking it was. After reading the entire post, Silvia felt like she had been to hell and back. 


A university was supposed to be a sacred and beautiful place, but such an infuriating thing had happened at this very place. 


"It turned out that he was the one who took the photos! And he was the culprit of the incident of the missing undergarments that happened on campus the last time!" Silvia sighed softly. 


She had never expected that the pervert behind all these would be Mr. Donald. He was someone who was highly respected by the students. It was no wonder that Prince would speak in such a regretful tone. It was indeed true that one should never judge a book by its cover. 


Prince added, "As soon as Mr. Donald had arrived at his office, the police had immediately arrested him. Boss, it seems like there will be a bloody storm happening in University A very soon." 


Silvia sighed and said, "Our university had always been under the eyes of the public. Now that our chancellor had gotten into a deep mess, of course a bloody storm would happen." 


University A was the most prestigious university in Madison City. Now that the chancellor was in such deep trouble, it would definitely be shocking news to the public. 


The very first place that this news had gone viral was the university's online forum and eventually, everything went out of control. After the chancellor was arrested that morning, the news had already started to spread like wildfire on the Internet. 


Anyone who was literate and had access to the Internet would know about this incident. University A, the higher education institution which had gone through a hundred years of ups and downs, was once again put through an ordeal. 


Since the current chancellor was being arrested by the police, the university would have to elect a new chancellor. Within a short period of time, there was already a long thread on the university's online forum, discussing the potential candidates who would be taking over the position as the chancellor. 


Mr. Donald was being reported anonymously. Therefore, that would mean that the party who would be benefited the most through this incident would be the person who had the greatest potential to be the next chancellor. Because of that, there was already a group of people online speculating that the candidates for the new chancellor might have something to do with Mr. Donald's arrest. 


However, even if that was really the case, one could only say that the person had done a favor for the people by eliminating such an evildoer. As an educator, Mr. Donald's actions were absolutely unacceptable. He deserved to be arrested. 


Just as everyone was talking about the potential candidates, Silvia had once again received a text message from Alina. "Silvia, thanks for helping me out!" 


Silvia did not understand what Alina was talking about, so she replied, "Alina, what the hell are you trying to say?" 


Alina replied, "I want to thank you for getting rid of that sc‘mbag for everyone's sake. Silvia, if it weren't for you, Mr. Donald would still be going around the school, harming other girls." 


Silvia replied, "Huh... you’ve really thought too highly of me. I've only found out about the incident yesterday after you gave me the thumb drive. How could I know that Mr. Donald was the culprit? Moreover, even if I knew that it was him, I didn't have the evidence to take action. Also, as I said, I wasn't the one who posted that anonymous article on the forum. If you want to thank someone, then it should be the one who posted the article, not me." 


Alina said, "Of course I know that you wouldn't have such an ability to make things turn out like this. I'm just teasing you. You don't have to be so serious about it." 


Alina obviously knew that Silvia did not have the ability to bring Mr. Donald to justice. However, the man by Silvia's side was the most influential man in Madison City. As long as she could make him get into action, Mr. Donald would not even have the chance to fight back at all. 


Look, she had just handed the evidence to Silvia the day before, and Mr. Donald was already taken away by the police the next morning. 


Apart from Andrew, who else would be able to get their hands on all the evidence within such a short period of time so that the police could arrest the culprit right away? 


Of course there was no one else who could do that! 


Even if there were, no one would make a fuss over such a trivial matter. However, Andrew was different. Silvia was one of the victims in this incident. 


Silvia Turner! 


Every time Alina thought of this person, Alina really wanted to tear her into pieces. She thought that Silvia‘s existence was to remind her how sad and miserable her life was. 


Silvia had a pair of parents who loved and doted on her, a wonderful first love, a bunch of friends who would go through life and death with her, and now an influential member of the Carter family protecting her. 


But what about Alina? Her first love didn't treat her sincerely. She did not have any friends who would go through thick and thin with her, and she didn't have a backer who could support her like how Andrew was to Silvia. 


All she had was her body, which was tarnished and full of scars, and the nightmare of being humiliated by Mr. Donald... 


Perhaps, without Mr. Donald, she could still fight for her life. However, after being humiliated countless times, she knew that her life was completely over. 


Thinking of her miserable past, Alina looked in the direction where Mr. Donald was being imprisoned with a solemn look in her eyes. "You old piece of sh‘t, I've told you that if I'm going down, I will bring you down with me." 


She had nothing left. She had no one who loved her and no qualifications. On top of that, her reputation had fallen in disrepute. 


Therefore, what was there for her to care about in this world? What was there for her to be afraid of? 


Nothing! Nothing at all! 


The chancellor's arrest had caused a huge impact on the university. The lecturers were not in the mood to teach while the students just could not keep their focus during the classes. Everyone’s attention was all focused on the incident and they were all eagerly waiting for the latest update on Mr. Donald's case. 


That went the same for Silvia too. She was not in the mood to listen to what the lecturer was teaching anymore. All she could think about was the two text messages that Alina had sent to her. What exactly was Alina trying to tell her? 


"Boss, who do you think this anonymous person who posted the article on the forum was?" Everyone was guessing who this person was, but no one could figure it out. Prince had been discussing it with a group of people, but they could not come out with a conclusion at all. Therefore, he went over to Silvia and asked for her opinion. 


Silvia lay on the desk and replied feebly, "How would I know who posted it? Prince, I'm really frustrated about something else now, so don't come here and bother me." 


Prince asked, "What's the matter, Boss?" 


Silvia said, "I met up with Alina yesterday and she had given me a thumb drive. And in that thumb drive were all those explicit photos and videos that were secretly taken of those female students."


Prince said in surprise, “Boss, so you've known about it a long time ago?" 


Silvia corrected him, ”No, I only knew that someone had been secretly taking pictures of the female students in our dormitory, but I had no idea that it was Mr. Donald. I was planning to hand over the evidence to him today." 


"Boss..." Prince suddenly thought of something, "Alina was one of the victims. Mr. Donald was already being arrested right after she had given you the thumb drive. Don't you think that things are a little fishy?" 


"Could it be that..." Silvia suddenly thought of Andrew. She also recalled the calm look on his face when he heard about the news the night before. Was it just an illusion? In fact, he minded that someone secretly photographed her, so he had asked someone to gather all the evidence on Mr. Donald?! 







CHAPTER 1199 



Silvia had never thought that Andrew would meddle in other people's business. Now that she had thought of Andrew, Silvia was almost certain that Andrew must have something to do with Mr. Donald's arrest. 


In Madison City, it was almost impossible for an ordinary person to take down the chancellor of University A overnight. However, Andrew was definitely capable of doing so. 


"Boss, have you figured out who it was?" Prince looked at Silvia expectantly, hoping that she could give him an answer. It would not matter even if it was not the actual answer. He only wanted some sort of clue, so that he could look further into it. 


Silvia nodded her head and said, "I did think of someone." 


Prince asked anxiously, "Who is it?" 


Silvia said, "Alina Bell." 


Prince wailed, "Boss, can you stop teasing me? Alina already got expelled, she wouldn't be able to log in to our school forum at all. How could she be the one who posted the article last night?" 


Prince and the other students had been going in the wrong direction while trying to find out who the whistleblower was. As the article was posted on the school forum, they thought it must be a lecturer or student who did it. However, they had completely neglected the fact that hackers could have done so. 


If someone really wanted to do so, it would not be a difficult task to bypass the firewall and post that article on the school forum. 


Silvia shrugged and said, "If it's not her and I really have no idea who it was. You were the one who said that everything that happened was too coincidental, so the only person that I could think of is Alina Bell." 


Silvia was very clear that Andrew was probably the one behind Mr. Donald's arrest. However, she did not want anyone else to know that it was him. 


Andrew had nothing to do with this incident to begin with, so she should not drag him into this matter. Therefore, Silvia had decided to protect him, so that he would not get involved in this mess. 


"Boss, you..." Prince thought that Silvia had already figured out who was the one behind all these, so he was full of expectations. However, now that he had gotten such an answer, Prince could not help but feel anxious. 


"I really have no idea. What do you want me to do then? Even if you kneel down on your knees and beg me, I still wouldn't have the answer." Silvia picked up her bag and continued, "Since the lecturers are not in the mood to teach, I guess that I'll just go home first then." 


"Okay, see you tomorrow." Prince did not want to go home. He wanted to stay on campus and continue to discuss the incident with his classmates. If he did not find out who posted that article, he would never be able to fall asleep! 


............... 


Silvia went home earlier than usual. When she got home, Andrew was not there while Auntie Cherry was busy trimming the bushes in the yard with the gardener. 


When Auntie Cherry noticed that Silvia was home, she quickly dropped the scissors and went up to greet her. "Miss Turner, why are you back home so early?" 


"Yeah, I have nothing else to do in school, so I came back home earlier." When she entered the villa, she saw that Andrew's slippers were still on the shoe rack, so she asked, "Auntie Cherry, is Andrew not at home?" 


"It's Tuesday today, of course, the Master wouldn't be at home at this hour." Then, Auntie Cherry immediately realized that she had said something she shouldn't have! 


"Where did he go?" In Silvia's view, Andrew was just a rich kid who had nothing to do all day and only knew how to spend his father's money. If he wasn't home, it was very likely that he had gone out to pick up girls. 


"I'm not sure about that." Needless to say, Andrew was at the company. However, Andrew had prohibited everyone from talking nonsense in front of Silvia. Auntie Cherry did not know what she could actually say, so it was better for her to just pretend like she did not know anything. 


"Auntie Cherry, is there something that I shouldn't know of?" Auntie Cherry words didn't match. If Silvia couldn't notice it, there must be something wrong with her head. 


"Huh? Of course not." Auntie Cherry smiled awkward|y and quickly changed the topic. "By the way, Miss Turner, are you hungry now? I'll go get you something to eat." 


"Auntie Cherry, I've already had lunch so I'm not hungry now. You should get back to what you were doing just now. Don't worry about me." Silvia knew that she would not be able to get anything out of Auntie Cherry, so she did not probe further into it. 


Besides, her mother had told her that trust was the most important thing between a couple. Therefore, it would be the best for her to not overthink about everything and create conflict between the two of them. 


Her parents had been in love for decades and it was largely because of the trust they had for each other. Therefore, Silvia was willing to listen to her mother's advice and choose to believe in Andrew. 


However, Silvia did not expect that the two people who she was currently thinking about, were now drinking coffee and chatting at a café. 


Mrs. Turner had always known about Andrew's existence. She knew that he had paid for her medical expenses, that he had arranged the best care worker for her, that he had been helping Silvia behind her back and that they had already gotten their marriage certificate. 


The reason why Mrs. Turner knew about all this was because Andrew had no intention of hiding it from her at all. Moreover, Mrs. Turner was a clever and observant woman. 


When Mrs. Turner was admitted at the hospital, Andrew had hired a care worker to take care of her. However, in less than a week, Mrs. Turner had already found out from the care worker that who was the one who hired her. 


Mrs. Turner knew about a lot of things. However, Silvia, who was not very meticulous, was not aware about it. Moreover, it was still the best if Silvia knew nothing. Otherwise, Mrs. Turner did not know how Silvia would look at things if she were to realize that Andrew was the one who had been helping her. 


In order not to let Silvia overthink, Mrs. Turner had instinctively taken Andrew's side and hid quite some things from Silvia. 


Although Mrs. Turner and Andrew had not officially met up, there was already a tacit understanding between the two of them in handling anything that was related to Silvia. 


After contemplating for a long time and taking all kinds of factors into consideration, Mrs. Turner thought that it was time for her to meet up with her son-in-law. Therefore, she had secretly gotten Andrew's phone number from Silvia's mobile phone and sent Andrew a text message when Silvia was not at home. 


Mrs. Turner was the one who decided on the venue. She had proposed to meet up at a café that was close to her house. Mrs. Turner never liked drinking coffee. However, considering that Andrew was a young man and coffee was something that the younger generation liked, Mrs. Turner had chosen to meet up with him at a café. 


The café was located just across the street from her place. Therefore, she had arrived at the café earlier than the appointed time. 


Andrew was still in a meeting when he received Mrs. Turner's text message. When he realized that it was from his mother-in-law, he immediately passed his work to his assistant and rushed to the appointed venue. 


By the time he had arrived at the café, Mrs. Turner was already there waiting for him. Although he had arrived early, he still felt bad for letting an elder wait for him. 


He walked to the table where Mrs. Turner was at and apologized, "Auntie, I'm sorry I'm late!" 


"No, you're not late at all. You‘ve arrived earlier than the agreed time," Mrs. Turner replied as she continued to stare at Andrew blatantly! 







CHAPTER 1200



Mrs. Turner was a well-educated and polite woman. There was never once she had ever stared at someone so rudely. However, she was looking at her precious daughter's husband, how could she not take a good look at him? 


After scrutinizing Andrew from head to toe, Mrs. Turner arrived at a conclusion. He was indeed a handsome and dignified looking man. 


Judging from Andrew's appearance alone, he was definitely worthy of Silvia. Silvia would never be wronged for marrying him. 


However, a person's appearance was just an external condition. Mrs. Turner wanted to know if Andrew would treat Silvia right and how long would he be good to her. 


What if Andrew's affection for Silvia was only temporary? What if he had fallen for her just because she was something new to him, and his feelings would fade away as time went on? If he was really such a man, Mrs. Turner would never let Silvia to be with him no matter what. 


Although Mrs. Turner was staring and studying him like this, Andrew did not show any dissatisfaction. It was normal for a mother who was meeting her son-in-law for the first time to behave like this. On the other hand, if Mrs. Turner was being indifferent to him, he would have to worry instead. 


After a long time had passed, Mrs. Turner finally realized that she had been staring at Andrew for far too long. She cleared her throat and asked, "Mr. Carter, are you willing to have a good chat with me?" 


Andrew nodded and said, "Of course I do, Auntie. It's my honor that you've taken the initiative to meet up with me." 


Mrs. Turner asked, "So if I didn't look for you, you wouldn't have come to me at all?" 


Andrew was dumbfounded. 


It was not that he had not thought about it. He was just taking into account Silvia's feelings, waiting for Silvia to bring him to meet her mother instead. 


With one sentence, Andrew was already at a loss for words. Mrs. Turner did not intend to speak like this either. However, for her daughter's sake, she had to be clear with her words. "Mr. Carter, how long do you plan to be with Silvia?" 


Mrs. Turner immediately got straight to the point and Andrew was also very frank with his answer. "Auntie, when I wrote Silvia's name on the marriage certificate, I've already decided to spend the rest of my life with her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made an effort to register our marriage." 


It was indeed a little impulsive to get married so soon, but they had already had s‘x. Andrew thought that marrying Silvia would be the best way to compensate her. 


Although their relationship did not start so perfectly, he was willing to spend the rest of his life to make up to her. 


Upon hearing Andrew's answer, Mrs. Turner felt much more relieved. She looked at him and said, "Silvia is a stubborn and hot tempered young lady. She doesn't know how to back down nor did she know how to be flexible in dealing with her problems... so if she loses her temper at you, please do compromise with her a little bit more. After she has calmed down, she would be much easier to talk to." 


Andrew nodded and said, "I will, Auntie." 


Mrs. Turner added, "Mr. Carter, no matter what, please take good care of her. You must take good care of her, and never let her feel aggrieved or sad. I know that it may be too much of me to make such a request, but every mother would want her child to have a good life. I don't expect you to understand my feelings but I only hope that you can always be good to her and take good care of her." 


"Auntie, Silvia is my wife. If I don't take care of her, who else would?" This was Andrew's answer to Mrs. Turner. 


She was his wife, of course, he had to dote on her and protect her... However, if Silvia were to push his buttons, he would still have to punish her. He must not let her off easily. 


"Well, I'm relieved to hear that." At this moment, Mrs. Turner's mobile phone suddenly rang. She picked up the cell phone and saw the name on the screen, 'Baby'. 


It was Silvia who had called her on the phone. Mrs. Turner gave Andrew a knowing look, asking him not to make a sound. Then, she answered the call and said, "Baby, aren't you supposed to be in class now?" 


"Mom, something has happened at the university. The lecturers are not in the mood to teach, so I came home early." Silvia's petulant tone sounded from the other side of the phone. "Mom, I have something to ask you. I need you to analyze it for me." 


Mrs. Turner smiled and said, "Tell me about it. Let's see if I can be of any help." 


Silvia said, "Mom, if someone who's close to you helped you a lot, will you do anything to thank him?" 


Mrs. Turner glanced at Andrew, who was sitting across her and said with a smile, "Of course I would. It is because we are very close to each other that we should express our gratitude towards that person." 


Silvia asked again, "Then how do we do that?" 


Mrs. Turner said, "Well, it depends on who you wanted to express your gratitude to. For instance... Silvia, tell me, who do you want to thank?" 


Silvia stammered, "It's not me. I'm just asking for a friend. By the way, you know that friend too. It's Audrey." 


Mrs. Turner said, "If that's the case, I would just give Audrey a phone call then. I'll talk to her in person. It would be better if I talked to her directly than you being the middle man." 


Silvia shouted, "Mom, how can you do this...? Okay, I'll just admit it, okay? It's Andrew, that b‘stard. He had helped me big time and I don't know if I should thank him or not." 


When she left the house that morning, she was still angry at him. She was angry that he did not comfort her. Moreover, he had even made her do it with him for the entire night, and now that her body was aching all over. 


Mrs. Turner said in a gentle voice, "Silvia, since you're asking me, then that proves that you wanted to thank him. Since you want to thank him, then you should just follow what your heart says and don't think too much about it anymore." 


Silvia said happily, "Okay Mom, I get it now. I'll go get ready for it now." 


Mrs. Turner stopped Silvia, who was going to hang up the phone. "Silvia, you're already an adult. You must learn to control your temper. Don‘t act impulsively and make sure that you think before making any decisions. Also, when two people get together, it's important to learn how to tolerate each other‘s flaws and mistakes." 


Mrs. Turner was not only advising Andrew, but also Silvia. Now that the two of them were her children, she had to be fair to both of them. 


Silvia said, "Mom, I'm being very tolerant towards him already. Otherwise, I would have beaten him to a pulp." 


Mrs. Turner laughed and said, "Well, my Silvia has already grown up. She even knows how to tolerate others.“ 


"Mom, I have to think about how I should thank him so I'll have to hang up the phone first, okay? Love you!" Silvia made a kissing sound through the phone before hanging up the phone. 


Mrs. Turner put away her phone, looked at Andrew, and said with a smile, "It was Silvia who called. As for what she had just said, I won't tell you anything about it. You should go back to work now. Also, remember to go home early after you're done with work." 


Andrew nodded and said, "Auntie, I'll send you back home first then." 


"Who is Silvia to you?" Mrs. Turner asked. 


"She's my wife." After answering her, Andrew immediately realized that Mrs. Turner was hinting for him to call her 'Mom' instead of 'Auntie'! 


He uttered, "Mom..." 


"Yes... that's right." Mrs. Turner smiled happily. "Andrew, let's not let Silvia know that we have met up today. She isn't mentally prepared for it yet, so if she were to find out about it, she will definitely make a fuss about it."

CHAPTERS 1191 - 1195







CHAPTER 1191 



With a solemn look, Andrew shoved Silvia into the car. He then got in next to her and ordered the driver to take them home. 


Looking at his expression, Silvia knew that he was furious. She knew that if she did not calm him down in time, she would definitely be in trouble. 


Silvia tugged the edge of his shirt and said softly, "Young Master Carter, please don't be angry, alright? Actually, I didn't drink much at all. I've already restrained myself from drinking too much." 


She was reeking of alcohol and had been dancing in such a revealing outfit. She even had the audacity to say that she had already restrained herself! Andrew wondered what would happen if she had let loose?! 


Was she going to get wasted and pass out on the streets? Or would she start stripping off her clothes and let the others look at her body? 


As Andrew thought of these possibilities, he wished that he could just lock her up so that she could not step out of the house. 


Andrew clenched his fists repeatedly. He was the one who was trying to restrain himself. Otherwise, he might have already thrown her into Madison River which was just outside Starie Blotie. 


Andrew kept a somber face and did not utter a word at all. He was still angry. Silvia tried to get close to him, but she was worried that he would push her away. However, after hesitating for a while, she still chose to approach him. 


Just as she was about to get close, Andrew immediately stretched out his long arm to stop her. "Sit down! Don't move!" 


Now that he would not even let her get close to him, it simply meant that he was not going to forgive her so easily. Silvia had no choice but to explain patiently, "I used to drink at least two dozen mugs of beer and I would even mix it with all sorts of liquor. But I really didn't drink much today. I know that you don't like it when I drink, so I've actually poured away quite a lot of beer when Prince and Lemur weren't watching." 


Speaking of this, Silvia felt a little aggrieved. She was an independent person after all. She needed her own personal space too. 


Yes, it was true that they were a couple and they should understand and tolerate each other. However, Andrew was controlling her too much! She had no freedom at all. 


Prince and Lemur were Silvia's childhood playmates. When she was at her lowest point in life, they never left her side and also gave her a lot of support. 


So, how could she reject their invitation to have fun just because she was married? She couldn't let them tease her for neglecting them after getting into a relationship! 


After a long explanation, the cold look on Andrew's face did not fade at all. Silvia reached out to hold his arm and said softly, "Young Master Carter, please don't be angry at me, okay? You look scary when you're angry." 


Andrew's heart had actually begun to soften when he heard Silvia admit to pouring away the drinks. However, he knew that she was a liar and he occasionally could not discern the truth. 


Since it was hard to tell, Andrew decided to continue to test her. He must not let her off easily. Otherwise, she would repeat her mistake again very soon. 


However, Silvia knew what his weakness was, so she had decided not to play hardball with him. She said coyly, "Young Master Carter, as long as you stop being mad at me, I promise that I won't drink even a drop of alcohol in the next month. If I really want to drink, I will let you know and you'll decide how much I can drink!" 


"Then what about your dancing?" The main issue that Andrew was angry about was not her drinking at the bar. What bothered him most was Silvia dancing with a bunch of men in such a provocative outfit. 


"Blotie is my friend. I went on stage to dance because I wanted to help with her business. I didn't know that you would be unhappy because of this. Now that I know, I promise that I will never do it again. I will never do anything you dislike. I will listen to everything you say," Silvia said devoutly. 


However, in Andrew's view, the more serious Silvia sounded, the more likely she was up to no good. He still had to test her. 


Seeing that Andrew still wouldn't forgive her, Silvia continued, "Young Master Carter, I believe that you have friends, don't you? I believe that you would understand the feeling of wanting to help a friend out, right?" 


Andrew said, "I don't have any friends." 


He was telling the truth. He really did not have any close friends. 


After his parents passed away in that accident, all of his friends had disappeared. Ever since he was being adopted into the Carter family, he had been focusing on being a 'good child', so he spent all of his time and energy on his studies and his businesses. He was so occupied that he had no time to make any friends at all. 


At a young age, he already understood the importance of studying hard. He knew that only by constantly improving himself could he gain a foothold in such an outstanding family. Otherwise, how could he feel justified to stay in the Carter family? 


He had no friends?! 


However, it did not sound like it was a lie. Silvia leaned into Andrew's arms and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Andrew, it doesn't matter if you didn't have any friends in the past. From now on onwards, my friends will also be your friends." 


Her simple sentence was enough to warm up Andrew's icy heart. Now that his heart was filled with warmth, the solemn look on his face was starting to fade away. 


No matter how he looked at her, Silvia was just an ordinary girl, but she had the magical ability to warm his heart and make him feel at ease... With her around, he felt like everything was right. 


Her words had obviously warmed up his heart, but Andrew said, "I don't give a cr‘p about your friends!" 


As soon as Andrew said this, all the guilt that Silvia felt earlier vanished. She pushed him away and said, "Huh... Andrew, don't think that you are that great just because you're rich... People like you really deserve to have no friends!" 


"Why would you want to befriend someone who does not bring any benefits to you?" Andrew said with a faint smile, "Silvia, let me teach you another lesson today. There is no such thing as friends forever nor will there be enemies for life in this world. What matters is mutual benefit, only then would a relationship last!" 


"So what can you get from me then?" This was Silvia's initial reaction when she heard him. He had spent so much money on her, so he must want something in return. 


"What can I get from you?" Andrew scrutinized her and continued, "We've been together for so long now, do you really not know what I can get from you?" 


"To warm the bed for you?" Was it just because of this very reason? If that was really the case, then there are countless women who wanted to warm the bed for him. Why would it be Silvia? 


If Andrew were to agree with her, then he was either lying or he must have some secrets that she was not aware of... However, they had never met before knowing each other, so what kind of secret could he be hiding? 


“It's not only to warm the bed for me. You make me feel good, and..." Andrew suddenly leaned into Silvia's ear and whispered some words. 


After listening to what he had said, Silvia immediately flung her fist at him, scolding. "You dirty b‘stard!"





 


CHAPTER 1192



After Andrew had brought Silvia home, Audrey, who was hiding under the table, finally emerged. She tidied up her slightly messy clothes and took out a mirror to fix her make-up. 


Audrey would always remind herself that no matter what situation she was in, she would maintain her elegance and composure. She must not miss a chance to be noticed by a rich man. 


It was already rare for a woman to meet a rich bachelor. lf Audrey were to meet one but lose the opportunity because of her image, that would definitely be the biggest loss in her entire life. 


"Audrey, Boss abandoned us again." Prince and Lemur were so drunk that they had no sense of crisis at all when they saw Andrew took Silvia away. They did not realize that Andrew could actually ban them from drinking with just a flick of his hand. Now, they even dared to complain to Audrey that Silvia had left them behind again. 


"Since Silvia has left and both of you are so drunk, why don't we wrap it up for today? We'll do it again some other day, how about that?" Audrey was also worried when she saw these two drunk men who were not in their right minds. 


Prince and Lemur had not drunk to their heart's content so they wanted to continue. "Audrey, our boss left early because she has someone who will accompany her at home. The three of us are single and there's no one waiting for us at home, so why do we need to go back home so early?" 


Audrey had no choice, so she said, "Okay then. Since you two still wanted to drink, I'll drink with you guys until you guys are satisfied, okay? Blotie, could you please give us another round of beer." 


Blotie personally delivered the beer and asked, "Was the man who took Silvia away just now the man that Silvia had vomited all over the last time?" 


"Yeah, that's right," Audrey said while nodding her head. 


Blotie could not hold back her nosiness so she asked again, "Who is that man?" 


"I don‘t know," Audrey said while shaking her head. "Why don't you ask Silvia about it some other day." 


Blotie could tell that Audrey knew who that man was, but was unwilling to share, so she smiled and said, "Oh okay, I won't bother you guys anymore then. You guys can just drink anything you like, it's on the house." 


"Thanks!" Since Blotie had already said so, the three of them did not hold themselves back anymore. Each of them took a bottle of beer and started drinking again. 


While they were drinking, Prince complained, "After Boss and Young Master Carter got together, we are really spending a lot less time with each other. Do you think that she will forget us eventually?" 


Listening to Prince's words, Lemur agreed. "Alas, I also think that the time that Boss spends with us is getting lesser now. I'm worried that she will suddenly disappear one day and we will not be able to find her ever again." 


Listening to their conversation, Audrey felt funny. "You guys are worried for nothing. You guys are so close to Silvia, how could she forget about you guys?" 


Prince said, "Well Audrey, there are some things that you don't know." 


Audrey said, "What is it? Tell me." 


In order to please Audrey, Prince had completely forgotten that Silvia had warned him not to mention Felix to anyone else. He said, "Before Boss got together with Young Master Carter, she had dated another guy. lt was Felix Xavier, the guy who she liked for a long time." 


Audrey nodded. She knew about this. Audrey also knew that Felix was also the very reason why Silvia was not willing to admit her feelings for Andrew. 


Prince added, "When Boss was dating Felix, she had never neglected us. She had never rejected us to go out and have fun. Sometimes when they went out for a date, she would even ask Lemur and I to come along." 


Regardless of gender, it was usual for a new couple to spend all day together in the first phase of the relationship. 


When Silvia was at that phase, she would never keep away from any gatherings and she would even bring her friends along on her dates. 


Listening to what Prince had said, Audrey could not help but to doubt whether Silvia was really in love with Felix. 


Perhaps not. 


Silvia grew up with Felix. He was kind to her, and she was touched by his constant care. She thought that what they had between them was love, but in fact, they were just closer than any other ordinary friends. 


Of course, this was Silvia's relationship, and Audrey had found out all about it only through Prince. So, she would never know what Silvia's true thoughts and feelings were. Only Silvia would know how she felt for Felix. 


Prince spoke a lot, but Audrey did not respond to him at all. He urged, "Audrey, tell us your opinion on this." 


Audrey immediately brushed off her thoughts and said with a smile, "If Silvia and Young Master Carter went on a date and happened to ask the two of you to tag along, would you guys dare to go though?" 


Prince and Lemur's silence was their answer. Not only that the two of them would not dare to follow, even Audrey would not be able to do so, unless she wanted to get into trouble again. 


After a moment of silence, Lemur spoke, "Sometimes I really wish that Felix was still around. He would not stop Boss from going out with us. He would even join us and have fun together. Whenever I thought of this, I would recall the moments when Boss was with Andrew and I've noticed that Boss had become a little more ladylike after she had gotten together with him." 


Prince nodded his head and said, "Lemur, I do miss Felix too, but we don't even know whether he is still alive... We should just let Boss live a happy life with Young Master Carter." 


"What are you guys thinking?" Audrey knocked her beer bottle against their heads, before speaking in a stern voice. "I don't know how good Felix was, but I only know that he had abandoned Silvia when she was at her lowest. This alone, he does not deserve Silvia's love. And let me tell you, if any of you dare to talk about Felix in front of Silvia, I will not spare your lives." 


Prince said, "Audrey, we're just having a casual conversation here. It's not that we will actually do something to destroy their relationship. In fact, we are quite pleased with Young Master Carter. Although he is much older than Boss, fortunately, he is good-looking. That alone is enough to make up for the age difference." 


Lemur nodded and said, "Our boss is only 20 years old but Young Master Carter is already in his late twenties. Perhaps others might actually accuse him of robbing the cradle if they were to see them together." 


Audrey said, ”What do you guys know? Only older men would know how to treat a woman right. To be honest, women don't really fancy guys who are in their early twenties like the two of you. 


Prince and Lemur were speechless. 


Audrey, Prince, and Lemur were drinking and discussing Silvia's affairs, but little did they know that there was someone behind them who had his eyes fixed on them, watching their every move. 


When that person heard that Young Master Carter and Silvia were in a relationship, the glass he was gripping tightly shattered instantly. 


The shattered glass pierced into the man's palm, and blood was starting to flow out. However, he did not seem to care about the wound on his palm at all and his eyes were still fixed on the three of them. 


However, on a closer look, one could tell that the man's gaze was not focused. The man looked tike he was staring at Audrey and the others, but actually, he was looking at someone else past them. 







CHAPTER 1193



Due to her mistake, Silvia still did not dare to behave recklessly after they arrived home. 


In order to please Andrew, Silvia, who never cooked, stepped into the kitchen for the very first time. "Auntie Cherry, is there anything that I can help you with?" 


Auntie Cherry was surprised to see her in the kitchen. "Miss Turner, the kitchen is not where you should be. You should go to the living room and rest for a bit before dinner." 


"Auntie Cherry, please let me help you." Silvia approached Auntie Cherry and said coquettishly, "Auntie Cherry, Young Master Carter is angry with me again. I want to do something to please him." 


"You two just can't live a day without quarreling with each other huh?" Auntie Cherry tapped on Silvia's nose with a doting look in her eyes and said, "The Master just went upstairs to change his clothes. When he comes down, could you please take this pot of soup to the dining table? Make sure that he sees you taking it." 


"Auntie Cherry, you're the best!" Silvia hugged Auntie Cherry and turned around to take the pot of soup. However, Silvia did not know that the handles of the pot were, in fact, steaming hot. She put her hands directly on the handles and let out a loud hiss in an instant. It was so painful that she almost threw the pot onto the ground. 


"Miss Turner!" Auntie Cherry was shocked and she was starting to panic when she saw that Silvia had accidentally scalded her hand. "Quick, let me see where did you get burnt." 


It actually did not hurt that much. Besides, Silvia did not want Auntie Cherry to think that could not do anything right, so Silvia said. "I'm fine, it‘s not painful." 


Auntie Cherry wanted to say something, but Silvia had already turned to pick up a damp towel. She wrapped it on the pot handles and walked to the dining table with the pot in her hands. 


Meanwhile, Andrew was also walking towards the dining table. Silvia could tell that Andrew had already changed into his loungewear, but she still said, "Young Master Carter, you're done changing your clothes?" 


Andrew ignored her and sat at the dining table. Silvia immediately served him a bowl of soup. "This soup is still a little hot. Drink it when it's slightly cooler. Be careful not to burn your tongue, okay?" 


No matter what she said or did, Andrew acted as if she was transparent, and did not even take a glance at her. 


Throughout their time together, whenever Andrew was angry, he would ignore Silvia. Even if he ignored her, Silvia knew she must not give up, she needed to work hard so that he would forgive her. 


She picked up a bowl and blew the soup. Then, she stirred the soup with a spoon and tasted it. "The temperature is just right now. You can drink it now if you want." 


Silvia did not realize her intimate actions! She was asking Andrew to drink the bowl of soup that she had just tasted! 


However, Andrew was not disgusted by the soup she had tasted, nor did he mind that the spoon may have her saliva. He immediately drank the bowl of soup with her spoon! 


Andrew put the bowl down after finishing the soup and wanted to wipe his mouth clean. As soon as he raised his hand, Silvia immediately passed him a piece of tissue to him. She looked at him with a smile on her face and said, "Here you go, Young Master Carter." 


Andrew glanced at the tissue in her hand, but did not take it. He insisted on taking a tissue himself, but Silvia once again grabbed another piece of tissue and shook it in front of Andrew. "Young Master Carter, here you go!" 


Andrew did not want to talk to her, but he also did not want to see that bright and charming smile disappear from her face, so he reluctantly took over the tissue that Silvia had handed him. 


Silvia continued to take care of Andrew as he carried on with his meal. She was so well behaved, like a docile and considerate wife. She would take care of everything before he could do it himself, eagerly pleasing him. 


After the meal, Andrew reached out his hand to get a glass of water. Silvia immediately handed it to him and said, "Young Master Carter, please let me help you. You don't have to do it yourself." 


Throughout the meal, which took about half an hour, Silvia had been repeating this phrase, "Young Master Carter, please," and Andrew was starting to feel a little irritated. He coldly glanced at her and said, "No, I'm not thirsty anymore." 


"Don't drink it if you're not thirsty then." Silvia really wanted to punch his face. She wanted to ask him why was he being so arrogant, but she could not. 


Then he said that he was not thirsty, she had no choice but to withdraw her hand and put on a bright smile. "Young Master Carter, now that you're full, why don't I give you a little massage?" 


Andrew refused, "There's no need for that!" 


No matter how indifferent he was, Silvia would still maintain her enthusiasm. "If that is the case, can I help you with anything else?" 


Andrew said, "No!" He immediately got up and went upstairs, without saying a word to Silvia. 


Silvia raised her fist behind him and cursed at him in her heart, "Very well, I know that I'm at fault today, so I'll let you do whatever you like, you b‘stard. If you make any mistakes in the future, I'll definitely get back at you." 


However, while she was doing that, Andrew, who was walking up the stairs, had unexpectedly turned his head and saw Silvia's fist hanging in the air. 


Reacting quickly, Silvia immediately waved to him. "Hey, Young Master Carter, if there is anything that you need, let me know, okay?" 


He knew what she was doing behind him, but he said calmly, "Come upstairs after you're done with your work. Go and warm up the bed for me.” 


"Yes, Sir!" Silvia replied happily. 


She had never thought that warming up the bed for that b‘stard would ever delight her, but now, she was over the moon. 


Since he had asked her to do so, that would mean that he was no longer angry at her. Therefore, she would not have to worry that he would punish her with his brutal means anymore. 


Andrew went to the study while Silvia went back to her room to take a bath. After washing up, she went over to his room to warm the bed for him. "B‘stard, you must have saved the country in your past life to have me warming up the bed for you." 


Because of the alcohol and the tension that Silvia had been feeling trying to please Andrew, Silvia ended up falling asleep immediately after getting on to the bed. 


Andrew returned to his bedroom after finishing up his work in the study, and saw that Silvia was already asleep on his bed. She was sleeping so soundly that she did not look like someone at fault who was being punished at all. 


Andrew sat on the bed and reached out to pinch her soft and tender cheek. "Silly girl, if I don't teach you a lesson, you really won't learn your mistakes." 


When he covered his warm palm on her face, Silvia instinctively rubbed her face against his palm and continued her sleep. 


Looking at her adorable look, Andrew felt that his throat was a little dry. He could not help but lower his head and kiss her. As he kissed her, he wanted more, so he pulled Silvia into his arms and held her tightly. 


Silvia was sleeping soundly but when she felt someone disturbing her, she raised her hand and pushed him away. However, Andrew grabbed her hand and said, “Silly girl, it's not that I don't know how to control myself. It's because you're too attractive." 


When he was about to take things further, he noticed that there were several blisters on Silvia's palm. He remembered that her hands were fine before they got home, so when did she get these blisters? 


Andrew's eyes darkened and he immediately woke her up from her sleep. "What happened to your hand? When did you get these blisters?" 


"Mm... what..." Silvia was still in a daze and she did not know what he was talking about. She glanced at him but closed her eyes to continue to sleep. 


Andrew looked at her angrily and at the same time, he took out his mobile phone and gave Dr. Thames 3 phone call. "I need you to come here now.“





 


CHAPTER 1194



Dr. Thames was already used to being woken up in the middle of the night, so she immediately rushed over to Andrew's  villa as soon as she got the call. 


However, she did not expect that the person who had made her come over in the middle of night was not Andrew but Silvia, who was sleeping on Andrew's bed. 


She was sleeping so soundly that she was not even aware that someone had entered the room. What could be wrong with her? 


Dr. Thames could not figure it out, but Andrew immediately gave her the answer that she wanted. "There are a few blisters on both of her palms. Could you please take a look and see what caused them?" 


Just a few blisters on her palms! Did Andrew have to be so anxious about it that he had to call Dr. Thames over to the house in the middle of the night? 


Despite being a little annoyed, Dr. Thames did not dare to delay any longer. She immediately went up to check on Silvia who was lying on the bed. Before Dr. Thames could do so, Andrew had already carried Silvia into his arms and showed Dr. Thames her palms. "Please take a look at it. I don't want anything to happen to her." 


With just a glance, Dr. Thames could tell that it was just a minor burn. Even without any topical medication, those blisters would dry up and Silvia's hands will be as good as new in a few days. 


However, such a trivial injury was enough to make Andrew, who did not even fear his own death, to be so anxious. 


For the past three years, Dr. Thames had witnessed Andrew hovering on the edge of life and death countless times. She had seen him being in severe, torturous pain. However, there was not once she had seen him panic as he did now. 


When Andrew's life was in danger, Dr. Thames had never seen him being anxious at all. However, Silvia's minor injury could actually make such a calm and collected man lose his cool. 


"Why are you still standing there?" Andrew's roar had snapped Dr. Thames out of her trance. She immediately said, "Miss Turner is suffering from a minor scald. I'll apply some ointment on them and she'll be fine in the morning." 


"That's it? There won't be any complications?" Andrew held Silvia's hand tightly and questioned Dr. Thames repeatedly, "Will it get infected? Will there be any other issues?" 


"Sir, this is really just a minor injury. I'll apply some ointment on her blisters. She will be fine when she wakes up tomorrow morning." Dr. Thames turned around and fetched some ointment from the first-aid kit. She then said, "Sir, I know that I shouldn't be saying this, but Miss Turner's injury is very minor. On the other hand, you should take good care of your body. The injuries you suffered are more serious than Miss Turner's. If you don't take care of yourself... who would be going to take care of Miss Turner in the future?" 


"Stop being so nosy!" Andrew told Dr. Thames off and grabbed the ointment from her hand. "You're no longer needed here. You can go now." 


"Sir, I know that you've been working out regularly and you do look fit and strong. However, the gunshot wound is near to your heart. You should know clearly that it was near fatal, so you need to finish the medicine I've prepared for you. If you continue to drag things on, even God would not be able to save you." 


Dr. Thames had always wanted to say these words to Andrew, but she never had the courage to do so. However, she now gave him a piece of her mind as she knew he finally had someone he wanted to be with for the rest of his life. 


Andrew said coldly, "Get out!" 


Dr. Thames had already said her mind, so she need not stay any longer. She glanced at Andrew, picked up her bag and left. She even thoughtfully closed the door. 


However, Dr. Thames really could not figure things out. How did Silvia make Andrew care for her like this? That girl was just a troublemaker! 


When she thought of this, Dr. Thames felt that all of these were somewhat ridiculous. Since when had Andrew been predictable? He would always do whatever he wanted, and no one could ever read his mind. 


As she shook her head, Dr. Thames smiled bitterly and left the villa. 


............


In the room. 


Andrew read through the instructions on the bottle and started applying the ointment on Silvia's hands. While doing so, Silvia suddenly opened her eyes and said angrily, "You're so shameless Andrew!" 


It turned out that Silvia was pretending to be asleep. Andrew's face darkened, but his hands did not slow down. "What are you talking about?" 


"Hmph..." Silvia glared at him. "You always go around picking up girls just because you have a good looking face. Was it wrong to say that you're shameless?" 


He had asked that beautiful Dr. Thames to come over to the house in the middle of the night. Andrew said that it was all because of Silvia, but who knew what the actual reason was? It could be because he wanted to see Dr. Thames, right?! 


However, Silvia did not say it out loud. If she did, Andrew, that b‘stard, would definitely think that she was jealous. 


What good would she get for being jealous?! 


She did not want to be jealous because of him. 


This young lady often talked nonsense, so Andrew never took her words to heart. All he cared about was the blisters on her palms. He ordered, "Give me your hand, and stop moving." 


Silvia stretched out her hand obediently and did not move. However, she just could not keep her mouth shut. "Andrew, can I ask you something? What kind of woman do you like?" 


Andrew applied the ointment on her hand. "What do you think?" 


"I'm guessing someone that is gentle, mature, sexy and charming, right?" Silvia thought of Dr. Thames, who was in her early thirties, as she answered. Dr. Thames was exactly like how Silvia had just described. Even as a woman herself, Silvia could not help but to be attracted by her. She did not believe that Andrew would not like a woman like her. 


Gentle, mature, sexy, and charming? 


Andrew raised his head and looked at Silvia. She was completely different from the all adjectives she had just mentioned. 


Since he did not deny it, that would mean that he agreed to it. Silvia was upset. "Dr. Thames is a typical gentle, mature, sexy, and charming woman. Don't tell me that you like her, do you?" 


She acted like she was just asking a casual question. However, she was even controlling her breath as she waited for his answer. To be honest, she was really worried that Andrew would actually admit that he liked Dr. Thames. 


"Hiss..." As soon as she finished speaking, Andrew pinched her palm and popped one of the blisters. It was so painful that Silvia shouted. "Andrew, are you trying to kill me!" 


"Oh, so you can actually feel the pain huh?" Did she know not how uncomfortable he felt when she said those words? 


"I'm a living person, of course, I can feel the pain." This man was really annoying. "Was it because I guessed it correctly? So you're being mad now? Ah ah ah... it hurts..." That b‘stard popped another blister again, making Silvia cry tears of pain. 


That must be it. Silvia had seen through him, and that was why he was using such a method to get back at her. This b’stard must have secretly fallen in love with Dr. Thames, but Dr. Thames was not interested in him, so that was why he had ended up with her. 


If that was really the case, then Silvia was probably just a tool to agitate Dr. Thames. Besides that, Silvia was also a plaything for him to satisfy his desires. 


Thinking of this possibility, Silvia felt a sharp pain in her heart. Two drops of tears suddenly fell from the corners of her eyes. However, she bit her lips and wiped her tears away. She did not want to seem like a weak person in front of him. 







CHAPTER 1195 



However, things would never go as planned. The more Silvia tried to hold back her tears, the more uncontrollable her tears were. 


Looking at her tears, Andrew knew that he had gone too hard on her. However, he did not know how to comfort her, so he lowered his head and continued to apply the ointment on her hands. "If you know that it hurts, then you should be a good girl and don't talk nonsense!" 


Silvia wiped her tears away and said fiercely, "B'stard, since when did I talk nonsense? You are the one who was bullying me!" 


For Silvia, the pain in her hand was not a big deal at all. However, the bitterness in her heart was the thing that was suffocating her. She felt like she was going to die from it. 


In her lifetime, she had only experienced this feeling once. The first time was when her father had passed away, and this was the second time... 


She did not know what the reason was, but whenever she thought of the reasons why he had kept her by his side, she would feel terribly awful. 


Andrew, that b‘stard, was not someone important to her anyway. Who was he to make her feel so awful? What right did he have? 


After applying the ointment on her palms, Andrew looked up at her. The moment he saw her tears, he felt distressed. He couldn't help but reach out to wipe away her tears and said, "It's all my fault." 


However, as soon as he reached out his hand, Silvia gave him a hard punch on the chest and scolded, "B‘stard, you're a b‘stard! Who are you to do this to me?“ 


"Yes, yes, yes, I'm a b‘stard. Can you stop crying then?" He really had no way to deal with her when she cried. 


"Why should I stop crying just because you asked me to?" Silvia wiped her tears and cursed at him while crying, "B‘stard. Why? Who are you to do this to me?" 


How could he make her miss him so dearly? How could he make her care so much whether he likes other women? How could he make her care about what she was to him? How could he make her feel so inferior? Who was he to make her feel like sh‘t? 


"Yes, I shouldn't have bullied you." Andrew pulled her into his arms and patted her back gently. "Alright, be a good girl, don't cry anymore, okay?" 


"I want to cry! I haven't cried enough!" As long as Andrew did not know the real reason why she was being so sad, she had nothing to fear about. She would cry as much as she wanted for him to see. After all, he was the one who made her sad. 


Andrew said helplessly, "How old are you already? Why are you still crying like a child?" 


"It's none of your business!" She snuggled up in his arms and cried out loud. "Andrew, I warn you, if you dare to sleep with another woman behind my back, I won't let you off easily." 


Andrew said, "What would you do to me then?" 


Silvia said, "So you've actually thought about it?" 


"I've never thought about it even once." He could barely handle her alone. If he were to look for other women, he would definitely be dead on his feet. Hence, he would never look for other women anymore. 


"Don‘t you even dare to think about it." Silvia hugged him overbearingly. "As long as I'm still here by your side, you'd better not think about anything that's out of line." 


No matter what the reason was, since they were now together, they should stay loyal to each other. They must not do unruly things that would break the trust between them. 


Andrew answered with certainty, "I will never do that." 


Silvia said, "Hmph..." 


Andrew rubbed her head and said, "Alright, it's getting late already. You still have classes to attend tomorrow. You should go to sleep now." 


Silvia lay on his chest and did not answer him. After a long time, Andrew thought she had fallen asleep. However, she suddenly whispered, "I won't too." 


Andrew did not grasp what she was trying to say at first. After a short daze, Andrew finally realized she meant that she would not do anything that was out of line behind his back too. It turned out that she was not only asking him to put in the effort, she was also working hard on it herself. 


Thinking of this, a smile slowly crept across Andrew's face as he tightened his arms around her. So the feeling of being taken to heart actually felt like this. it was a little sour, a little bitter, but very sweet. 


.........


After giving Wayne full authority to take care of Wateria Corporation's affairs, Silvia no longer had to go to the company every single day. She could finally attend her classes like a normal student. 


As soon as she arrived at the university that day, she had received a text message from an unknown number. The message wrote, “I have a secret to tell you. If you want to know, then meet me at the bar opposite of the south gate of the school." 


Silvia had no idea what the secret was nor did she know who the sender of this message was. She thought that it was just a spam message so she deleted it in an instant. 


After deleting the message, Silvia immediately put this matter behind her. She attended her morning class and then had lunch at the school canteen with Prince and Lemur. 


As soon as Silvia sat down, her mobile phone rang again. She unlocked it and saw another message from the same unknown number that had sent her a text message that very morning. "Silvia, you really are a heartless person. It has only been a few months, and you've already forgotten about your dear Felix?" 


Felix? 


Looking at the name, Silvia was no longer in the right mind. She stopped eating and ran out of the canteen. Prince, who was confused about her behavior, immediately caught up with her and asked, "Boss, did something happen?" 


"Get out of the way!" Silvia pushed Prince away. Then, she rushed towards the south gate like a madman, to the bar mentioned in the first message. 


It was noon time, and there were very few customers in the bar. With a glance, Silvia could see everyone in the bar clearly. Silvia quickly glanced through the bar but she did not see Felix around. However, she saw someone she knew. It was her rival, Alina. 


When Silvia's gaze fell on Alina, Silvia noticed that Alina was also looking at her. She waved to Silvia and said, "Silvia, I'm here." 


After Alina was expelled from the university a month ago, Silvia had not received any news about her ever since. These days, Silvia had been busy with the company's affairs, so she had almost forgotten about her existence. 


However, Alina had shown up at an inappropriate time. Silvia could not bother to entertain Alina, so she turned and wanted to leave. At that instant, Alina's sharp voice sounded behind her, "Silvia, there is no Felix or whatsoever at all. I'm the one who is looking for you. I have a secret that I want to tell you." 


"You..." At that instant, Silvia felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head, making her sober up. 


What was she thinking? Felix had disappeared for such a long time. If he really were to show up, he would have done that a long time ago. He would not have waited until now. 


However, Alina said that she was looking for Silvia. What secret did she have that she wanted to tell her? Silvia did not think that she was that close to Alina that she would tell her about her secrets. 


"Take a seat first, Silvia. Are you afraid that I will eat you alive in broad daylight?" Alina said with a smile. It was like how it used to be. Her smile never looked genuine and that was one of the reasons why Silvia never liked her. 


Since Alina had put in so much effort to get her here, Silvia decided to sit down and listen to what Alina had to say. "Speak now."
