After the heavy snow, the ground was completely covered in white. The historic Madison City was as beautiful as a city in a fairy tale, so there would be many tourists who would visit the city during this time of the year.

At this point in time, Madison City had become much more vibrant due to a significant increase in tourism. However, West Side was shrouded in shadow and the entire area was even colder than how it usually was during the rainy season.

It was as if a destructive tsunami was going to happen at any time.

The reason was none other than the conflict between Jayden and Silvia. Both of them were in a stalemate and no one was willing to give in. All the helpers in the house suffered as well. They were so afraid that they did not even dare to breathe heavily in front of them.

"Silvia, are you trying to court death?" It had been three days since he had lost control and forced himself on her. Jayden had used all kinds of methods, but Silvia was still not willing to say a word to him. Not only that, she refused to eat and drink too.

She was still alive, but she was more like a lifeless doll. She looked as if she would let out her very last breath at any time and become a cold dead body.

"Silvia, do you think that I will let you leave by going on a hunger strike? Don't you even think about it. Don't even think about it for the rest of your life!" Jayden concealed the worry and fear in his eyes as he roared furiously.

Silvia had not eaten or drank anything for the past three days. If it had not been for the fact that Carson had forcefully given her some nutrient injections, she would have already... Jayden did not dare to think about it. Every time he thought of that, he would be so flustered to the point that he was at a loss as to what to do.

In the past decade, he had learned a lot from the Kyle family. However, he was completely clueless when it came to handling women.

Three days ago, all he wanted to do was to make her stay. Hence, in a fit of rage, he had used the most cruel and unacceptable method on Silvia. He thought that everything would be fine if he could just keep her here. However, things had unexpectedly turned out like this.

Silvia had chosen to go on a hunger strike, to keep quiet and protest against him through her own means.

"Silvia... Just take a few bites, okay? Jayden finally gave in. All he wanted at that moment was to get Silvia to take at least a sip of water.

However, Silvia still ignored him. She even closed her eyes, refusing to stare at the ceiling anymore.

"Silvia... What else do you want from me? Just tell me what you want. I'll agree to all your requests." Besides leaving him, Jayden could promise her just anything.

At that moment, Silvia finally spoke for the first time in three days. She repeated the exact same words that she had told him. "Get someone to get the divorce papers. I want you to let me go and I want you to stop showing up in front of me ever again."

This was her only request. He wanted her to tell him what she wanted, but would he be able to fulfill it?

Silvia slowly opened her eyes and looked at Jayden's somber face. She smiled weakly. She knew that this man could only say it but he would never do as she said.

"I can agree to any of your requests except for letting you go."

"You can just kill me then."

"You..." In a fit of anger, Jayden picked up a bowl of oatmeal and poured it into her mouth. However, she was still like a puppet, motionless and emotionless.

"Fine, so you don't want to eat, right? Then don't eat. Even if you were to starve to death, your body and soul won't get to leave this place." Jayden put the bowl on the nightstand and walked out of the room. Not long after Jayden had left, Auntie Cherry hurried over.

Looking at Silvia, who was lying on the bed and starving, Auntie Cherry was so distressed that she was starting to shed tears. She wiped off her tears and said, "Miss Turner, you haven't eaten anything for the past three days. Could you please at least eat some of the oatmeal?"

Silvia did not respond. She was still staring at the ceiling listlessly.

"Miss Turner, how about some water?" Silvia did not say a word, but Auntie Cherry could not just give up like this. She had come over under her master's order, so she must continue to persuade Silvia. Moreover, she really cared about Silvia. She did not want Silvia to torture herself like this.

Auntie Cherry moved a large chair to the side of the bed and sat down. She said, "Miss Turner, you are just torturing yourself by starving like this. Why do you have to do this to yourself?" "Miss Turner, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your mother. You are her only child. What is she going to do if anything were to happen to you?"

There was a slight change in Silvia's eyes when Auntie Cherry mentioned her mother. Auntie Cherry noticed it and immediately said, "Miss Turner, your father is no longer around, so your mother is your only family now, and you're everything to her. She will be worried about you if she knows that you're starving yourself."

However, this time, Auntie Cherry did not notice any change in Silvia's eyes. It seemed that the reaction just now was just an illusion.

"Miss Turner... why don't you just have a few mouthfuls? No matter how angry you are with Master Jayden, you should never do this to yourself." For as long as Auntie Cherry had known Silvia, Silvia was someone who knew how to take care of herself. Now that Silvia was torturing herself like this, Auntie Cherry really wondered what Jayden had done to her to make her behave this way.

She thought that Jayden must have done something out of the line. Otherwise, Silvia who had always cherished her own body, would never torture herself like this.

"Miss Turner..." After trying to persuade her for a long time, Silvia still would not utter a word. Auntie Cherry did not know what else she could do with her, so she let out a heavy sigh and left the room silently. "Jayden, what happened to Silvia?" Jayden could not deal with Silvia by on his own, and he knew that Auntie Cherry would fail too, so he asked Stanley to bring Mrs. Turner over to the house. When Mrs. Turner arrived, she hurriedly asked before she could take off her shoes.

"Mom..." Jayden did not know how to explain to Mrs. Turner, so he said, "Why don't you go up and talk to her first? It would be good if she could at least drink some water."

"What are you two..." Mrs. Turner wanted to know what had happened between the two, but she was more worried about Silvia's condition. She immediately changed her shoes and followed Jayden upstairs. Jayden led Mrs. Turner to the room and said, "Mom, Silvia is in the room. Please talk to her and make her eat something. If she continues to starve herself, I'm afraid that her body wouldn't be able to take it anymore." "I know." Mrs. Turner cared about her daughter more than anyone else. Since she was already here, she would definitely make Silvia eat something and not let her starve any longer.

However, when Mrs. Turner entered the room, she did not see Silvia. There was no one lying on the king-sized bed. Mrs. Turner became so anxious that she immediately shouted, "Silvia, where are you?" Upon hearing Mrs. Turner's voice, Jayden rushed into the room at once. There was no one in the room, so the first place he had thought of was the bathroom.

He rushed over and saw that the door to the bathroom was locked. He slammed it open and saw that Silvia was sitting next to the toilet bowl. Her wrist was bleeding. She looked at him and suddenly let out a smile. "Jayden, let's see if you can keep my soul here."
