Everyone knew that Clarissa and Anderson did not have any grudges against Coby. Regardless of whether it was for personal or business affairs, they didn't have much contact with him. Therefore, Coby had no reason to deal with them. The only reason that could be explained was that recently, they were helping Jara and Emmeline to find the Jade of Heaven. Hence, Jara would definitely not deny this matter. After the two came to an agreement, Anderson hung up the phone. While he talked on the phone, Robert was right next to him, and heard everything. So, as soon as he saw him hanging up the phone, he asked, "What should we do now? Should we just sit here and wait? How long do we have to wait?" After Anderson pondered for a moment, he uttered. "If it's convenient, can you find out who is the person-in-charge of the large-scale industries in the city?" Upon receiving his orders, Robert frowned. He was not interested in business, s
He said without hesitation. Perhaps he felt that what he said was not enough to prove his innocence, so he continued after a brief pause, "I did something to offend them a few days ago, and they drove me out. That's why I have no idea what happened after. Actually, I came here to relax this time." Hearing this, Anderson had actually believed his words. Because Luca had no reason to lie to him. Hence, Anderson nodded and said, "Alright." Luca looked at him and contemplated saying something but stopped at second thought. After a while, he summoned the courage to ask, "Is there something wrong?" Anderson did not try to keep it a secret. In any case, there was nothing to hide. "He took Clarissa away." "What?" Luca was astounded again. Despite his lack of familiarity with Coby, he was still a member of the Marsh family. Therefore, he encountered Coby more often. If he were to claim Coby was a bad person from his view, i
Looking at the astonishment in Luca's eyes, Anderson went on to say, "Many fields in this world are out of reach for us because of our limited abilities. We can't say whether incredible phenomena like time and quantum physics can really happen, but just because we can't study them doesn't mean they don't exist." "That is why I believe in such things. It's called eternal life if you use our words to describe it. Perhaps it's different for them. There may be a creature that lives longer than a human. That is why it appears to ordinary people like us to be immortal." Luca was so startled that he widened his eyes. "Who... who are the people you're talking about?" Anderson's eyes narrowed as he stared at Luca for a long time. Then, out of nowhere, he smiled. "I'm just giving an example. Mr. Marsh, did you take it seriously?" Luca was stunned, but he soon regained his composure. He smiled awkwardly, and before he knew it, his forehead was now drippin
He traveled around during this time only to relieve the irritation in his heart. Thus, he didn't even think about Coby's goal. Perhaps he had given it some thought. However, he did not dare to think about it again because he felt danger in his intuition. Therefore, he was perplexed when Anderson mentioned it. With a hint of befuddlement in his gaze, Luca looked at Anderson. Anderson was not in a hurry. He waited quietly for Luca to speak. Luca shook his head and glanced down after a long time. "I don't know. I really don't know what he intends to do with Jade of Heaven." Then, Anderson added lightly, "I believe that you don't know about it, but since this matter has already happened and we're aware of it, I hope that you will not only care about your own good. If there is a chance, let's investigate it together. After all, if Coby has any ulterior motives, the entire Marsh family will be affected, and I'm afraid you can't be an exception."
However, there was only silence in the room. Coby did not appear. Sierra had anticipated Clarissa to make a scene and hurt others, so she was not surprised at this point. She was just a little nervous. She scanned the surroundings with trepidation. When she realized there was no one else around, she whispered, "Clarissa, are they not here? Why don't we leave right now?" Clarissa frowned. Before she could answer, she suddenly heard a very light sneer coming from somewhere. "Miss Chapman, do you think you can threaten me with the life of a servant? You might as well give it a try. Test if I'll let you guys go if you strangle her to death." Clarissa was stunned and turned to look out of the window. Only then did he realize that there was a small speaker on the big tree opposite the window. She couldn't help rolling her eyes. They had always known Coby had installed a camera in the house to monitor them. However, they did not expe
"I remember that there's a bay about 372 miles away from Karc. It is the nearest city to Karc and has a sea. Upon hearing that, Clarissa was suddenly in a state of high spirits. However, she did not show it since there were cameras in the room. "Mom, are you sure?" she asked in a low voice. Sierra nodded. "I'm very sure this place doesn't have an airport, so we'll have to drive. But, because it's only 372 miles away, it should just take a few hours assuming the direction is correct." Clarissa fell silent for a while. If she guessed right, they should be in that place now. After all, if Anderson and Robert learned Clarissa had gone missing, they would immediately close the airport and all exits. They could easily block the routes around the airport. However, the city was surrounded by deserts, so exits were available in all directions. As a result, closing all exits in a short period of time was difficult. Therefore, Coby definitely
He couldn't really be a simple person, could he? Would he take a woman with him because he liked her? Would he take her to elope even if she was married? What a joke! Clarissa grumbled quietly in her heart. She then became solemn and fixed her gaze on Coby. "Mr. Marsh, you might as well tell me honestly. What do you want to do by taking me here? If you want to kill me, then do it. Why do you leave me hanging like this?" Coby took a breath and paused for a moment. "I heard you and Anderson had been married for five years?" he remarked with a faint smile. Hearing this, Clarissa was stunned. She was perplexed as to why he had asked this. However, this was not a secret, so she nodded without thinking. "Yes. Why? Are you interested in our love story?" Coby shook his head. Then, he said with a light chuckle, "I'm just curious. You two have been married for five years. Why are you still kept in the dark? Everyone says you
All of a sudden, the memories in her mind flashed back to ten years ago. Clarissa, who was 18 at the time, had just arrived in F Country. She didn't have any relatives or money. She could only rely on the meager pocket money Sierra had previously left for her. However, the amount was naturally small because it was pocket money. She was living alone in a foreign country and needed to pay for her rent and food. As a result, she had to go to work. Fortunately, a senior introduced her to a job at that time. Their cruise ship needed a part-time server. In the end, Clarissa went since it did not interfere with her studies. However, Clarissa seemed to see something she shouldn't have seen on that trip. What exactly was it? She couldn't recall anything. But she seemed to have heard a gunshot or something. Because she lost her memory for three months after waking up later, she couldn't recall the memory on the cruise ship. Clarissa's headach
"Hey, what are they going to talk about?" Being asked, Lauren looked at Clarissa before turning to look at the door. Then, she lowered her voice and explained, "Jameson wants to move his headquarters back to Ascijan, and recently, he has been battling with the elders of the Ethanbez Family. Most probably, he is here to ask Anderson for some advice." As everyone knew, the Jordan Group did not develop well when Carlos was managing it. After all, Carlos used to be in the military. Although he was skilled in leading his troops into battle, he didn't have much potential for doing business. Moreover, he was magnanimous, so he always put favors before money in business. If it weren't because of his rich family background, it would be hard to sustain his business. On the other hand, Anderson was different. He was a real businessman that was nimble-witted and vicious. Most of the time, when there was a crisis, he could easily turn the tables.
"I'll call you when I'm done," Clarissa added. Seeing how embarrassed she was, Anderson laughed. "Alright, be careful then. Call me when you're done." "Alright." After that, he opened the door and left. About three minutes later, Clarissa's shy voice came from inside. "I'm done." Upon hearing that, he opened the door again, tidied her clothes, and carried her out. As soon as Clarissa lay on her bed, the twins were awake. Then, Anderson carried them out and followed Clarissa's instructions to change their diapers and feed them. In fact, she couldn't feed the twins alone as they were barely a week old. So, they were fed with half breast milk and half baby fomula. Fortunately, they were in good health. When they were holding the milk bottle, their hands gripped it so tightly that sometimes Clarissa could barely take the bottle away. For the past two days, Carlos and Matteo also came. They were here to visi
After sitting down, Clarissa and Sierra held each other's hands and began to chat happily. The topics of their conversation were nothing more about children and families. Unlike Clarissa, Sierra was a housewife who didn't have much opinion. She not only had a gentle personality, but her thinking was also traditional. To her, the man had all the say. That was the reason Gianni and Chloe had the chance to ill-treat her. Last time, Clarissa didn't understand her thinking. Why didn't she fight back when her father was so mean? Even so, after having her own child, Clarissa could gradually understand Sierra's thinking. In fact, she was lucky to meet a nice man like Anderson. After they got married, she hardly suffered any injustice. However, not everyone in this world was this fortunate. In fact, most people led an extremely ordinary life with grievance and joy. Although their lives might be on the tougher side, they end
Anne rolled her eyes. "Don't you know that all newborn babies are small? You were this small when you were young." When Marf heard this, he became more shocked. Although he was intelligent, he was still young, and he was yet to learn some general knowledge. Besides, he lacked of life experience. Therefore, to him, it was surprising that there was such a small child in this world. As for Anne, she was there when Marf was newly born. So, she knew it. While clinging on the cradle, Anne and Marf kept staring at the twins with interest. Out of curiosity, Marf even poked his younger sister's face. When he felt the incredibly soft sensation of her skin, he was so surprised that he immediately withdrew his hand. With that, the baby twitched her lips in dissatisfaction. It seemed like she was going to cry, but she was too drowsy. Hence, she continued to sleep. For a while, Anne and Marf looked at her before being called over by Clariss
Staring at her, Anderson didn't know what to say. Instead, he asked with concern, "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to prepare you some food." "Okay." Clarissa nodded. After Anderson went out, she scooted over, propped herself up, and looked at the twins in swaddling clothes. At that moment, the two plump babies were clenching their small white hands while sleeping peacefully. Looking at them, Clarissa was overjoyed, and all the negative emotions caused by the pain instantly disappeared. More than ten minutes later, Anderson returned with her food and a doctor. When the doctor saw that Clarissa was awake, he checked her wound and her condition. Once he made sure that she was fine, he called a lactation consultant to help her with breastfeeding. Then, he gave them some important advice before leaving. After that, Anderson placed the food on the small table in front of her. When Clarissa was about to sit up, he stopped he
Anderson looked at her, and after a long while, he realized that his whole body was trembling. Right away, he nodded. When Nora heard their conversation, she pursed her lips and stepped on the gas. At the same time, Clarissa directed Anderson to call their family. Well, since her amniotic fluid was broken, she would have a premature delivery no matter what because the expected delivery date was actually two weeks away. Therefore, they not only had to let Carlos and Matteo know, but they also had to ask Sierra and Robert to come over. Clarissa wanted to call Robert because he could help out if anything went wrong with her labor process. As for Sierra, her presence alone could calm Clarissa down. Besides, asking Sierra to stay by Clarissa's side was better than letting her imagination run wild at home. Anderson listened to Clarissa and did as he was told. After he called everyone, the car arrived at the hospital. Before th
Compared to her life, all the things that happened in the past were not important anymore. Now, Jara's biggest wish was to let Emmeline live healthily. As long as his wish could come true, he was willing to pay any price. After Coby's death, they found some Way Tree from his residence. However, those trees were only enough to last her for a year, and some members of the Marsh Family—who heard about Coby's death—had snatched the rest of the trees. As this tree could affect someone's life, no one would take it out again. Besides, Emmeline couldn't keep relying on Way Tree to survive. Therefore, they must try all ways to develop the antidote. However, a few months had passed, and yet, there was no progression. With that, Jara became anxious. On the other side, Clarissa's belly was getting bigger, and she was going to deliver in half a month. Because of this, Anderson rarely went to his company these days and accompanied her
With a serious look, he stared at Clarissa's belly and said, "I will make a few great robots. When they come out, I'll give the robots to them." Hearing that, Clarissa laughed, "What if your little sister doesn't like it?" Instantly, Marf's eyes widened. Because he was a big fan of robots, he thought that robot was the best gift in the world. So, it was hard for him to imagine that there were people who disliked robots. When Clarissa saw how cute he was, she giggled. On the other hand, Anderson also laughed, "It doesn't matter. If your little sister doesn't like it, you can give her a gift she likes." "As long as it is a gift from you, I believe she will like it." Only then, Marf understood what was going on and nodded. Then, with an earnest look, he promised, "Daddy, Mommy, don't worry. I will take good care of them!" When Anderson and Clarissa saw him acting like a little adult, they felt warm. Since Marf had made a pr
For a moment, Clarissa was stunned as she didn't quite understand what Lauren meant. Her love life wasn't perfect, and in the past, she even been in a relationship with a jerk like Elliot. However, since she got together with Anderson, their relationship had been smooth sailing, and they hardly encountered any setbacks. So, she thought that was how love usually worked. For Cara, Coby had actually persisted for a thousand years. This sounded like a scary and insane thing to do. However, thanks to his love for Cara, he did it. Therefore, if he didn't love her, how did he survive through those years? Seeing that Clarissa was confused, Lauren knew that Clarissa hadn't understood her words. With that, she let out a helpless sigh. "Actually, it's a good thing that you don't understand. It means that you've been living happily. If one day you understand, I will feel sorry for you," she uttered. Once again, Clarissa was dumbfoun
