In case she was mistaken, Silvia rubbed her eyes hard to see the name written on the contract clearly.
After rereading a few more times, and ensuring that the name written on the contract was indeed 'Jayden Elias Kyle', Silvia raised her head and looked at the man in front of her seriously.
She had been locked up for a few days. She did not get to see Mr. Kyle, the most influential man in Madison City. Instead, she met his son, Jayden.
At first glance, Jayden looked like someone not to be messed with. His eyes appeared so calm, yet intimidating, that it seemed like he had power over everything and everyone around him.
For example, at this moment, his gaze towards her appeared so intimidating that it seemed like he was ready to pounce on her at a wrong move she might make.
Then, Jayden said, "Miss Turner, take a good look at the contract. If you do not have any questions, sign your name here, and then our contract will take effect."
"Contract?" Silvia just remembered that she needed to focus on the content of the contract, not the name. She read it carefully and could not stop frowning. "What do you mean by this?"
Jayden explained, "It's self explanatory."
Silvia clenched her fists. "Why are you willing to help me?"
She did not believe in luck and goodwill. She only believed that there would be traps and obstacles everywhere in life, and nothing would ever come free.
Jayden asked, "Do you need a reason?"
"Why not?" Silvia stared at him and tried to observe his expression, "Mr. Jayden Kyle, I'm not a fool. You wouldn't be helping me just because of my good looks, would you?"
Jayden leaned against the chair and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Don't speak like a know-it-all. You should know that anything is possible."
Jayden was not willing to give Silvia a clear answer. Silvia knew that no matter how hard she probed, she would not be able to get an answer.
From their perspective, they bought her away from the black market with a huge sum of money, so she belonged to Jayden.
Jayden wanted her to stay with him, so he could lock her up as he did in the past few days. There was no need to sign a contract with her at all.
As a matter of fact, signing the contract wouldn't change anything.
After thinking it through, Silvia no longer hesitated. She picked up the pen and quickly signed her name on the contract. She smiled at him sweetly. "Mr. Kyle, cheers to a good partnership."
Silvia's hand was left hanging in the air. Jayden glanced at her, but he did not reach out to shake his hand with hers. "To a good partnership."
"Mr. Kyle, aren't you going to shake your hand with me?" He pretended not to see her hand, so Silvia raised her hand a little higher.
Jayden still did not shake her hand. "I do not like touching germ-infested things."
"Is that it?" Feeling belittled, Silvia cursed him in her heart, but she still maintained a decent smile on her face. "Your reasoning is really interesting. I'll take it as a compliment that I'm special."
She clearly knew that she would lose out if she confronted him, and she knew that this man could help her. At present, it seemed like he was the only savior.
