Clarissa said in a soft tone. "You don't have to be surprised. Since Lara could investigate your family background, so could I. Besides, it's not a big secret. I can know it just by asking someone who is familiar with you." Rosie was shocked. What shocked her was not that Clarissa knew about her mother's illness, but... She was actually willing to spend so much money to save her mother! She obviously had a better choice! She could call the police to arrest her, or use other means to force her to confess! Either way, she would not lose anything. Why? Rosie stared at Clarissa. Clarissa shrugged helplessly and didn't mean to explain to her. She just said, "Now you should be able to tell me everything that Lara asked you to do without any worries!" Sitting there, Rosie hesitated for a while, and finally nodded. "Okay, I'll tell you." Then she was about to start from the beginning. Unexpectedly, Clarissa suddenly
The comments on the Internet were similar to what she had expected. She clarified in the video yesterday that she was framed by someone, and she took out a report of the drug ingredients of the leftovers. But Lara hired too many people to speak for her, and almost everyone was suspecting her. Many netizens had relatively poor independent judgment, and they naturally followed others to slander Clarissa after looking at the other comments. "You said that you were framed by Lara five years ago, and now you say that you're slandered by others again. Why are you always the one to be framed? Don't be so scheming, okay?" "Since you were smart enough to take the leftovers to do a definitive test, how could you not know that you would be taken pictures secretly? I don't believe you." "Are you suffering from victim paranoia? You have done something wrong and you want to shift the blame onto someone else. How could you say those words shamelessly?" "You s
She didn't care about whether Rosie was alive or dead. But she couldn't let Clarissa catch Rosie. Thinking of this, Lara took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "In fact, last night, I suddenly remembered that I had something to talk to you, so I asked Rosie to find you, but she hasn't come back since she went out." "I can't get through to her number, so I suspect you. If you know where she is, please tell me. I'm worried about her." Clarissa narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled. "Oh, I see. I was just wondering why you came to me early in the morning so angrily. It's a bit strange!" "You said that you asked Rosie to find me yesterday, and those who don't know would think that you sent her to do something bad, so you're so anxious to find her!" Listening to Clarissa's words, Lara's pupils trembled severely. A guilty expression flashed across her eyes. She barely straightened her back and said in a deep voice, "Of course not. I'm
But even so, the evening lights were lit and the moon cast a faint light over the blue stone road in the film and TV production old town. There were many people in the open space, all looking at the other side with curious and gossiping expressions. Clarissa followed their gazes and saw that at the other end of the open space, Lara was sitting on a lounge chair, while Elliot was sitting on the stool next to her and talking to her. With a faint smile on her face, Lara held a cup of drink in her hand, and Elliot looked at her. They looked at each other and were talking about something. Lara's merry laughter reverberated in the ground, and even the atmosphere was sweet. Someone whispered, "They are really a perfect match. It seems that Elliot really loves Lara, and I wonder when they will get married." "Yeah, they're an ideal couple. The Duncan Group is powerful in Visstead, and Elliot is in charge of Twilight Entertainment. Since Lara is with him, she shouldn't be
His voice was extremely soft and low, but Lara was shocked when she heard what he said. "What? Ten times?" "Of course. Otherwise, how could we defeat others and help you win this endorsement?" "But..." "What's wrong? You have no confidence?" Lara was stunned. She looked at Elliot. He was still as gentle as before, but she didn't know why and she always felt that he had changed. She didn't know since when his eyes were no longer tender when he looked at her. He was clearly smiling, but his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, making her heart tremble with chill. She swallowed and nodded after a while. "I see. I am very confident, and you don't have to worry about me." "That's good." Elliot let go of her and turned around, playing with a blue and white porcelain teapot on the table with one hand. Lara thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Elliot, you talked about the wedding with them just now. Are you..
Clarissa was stunned and got even more surprised. Originally, she wanted to refuse him directly. But when she glanced at Lara's lounge not far away, she came up with an idea and agreed. "Okay. Come in!" Elliot followed her into the lounge. Clarissa didn't mean to exchange the usual pleasantries with him. As soon as she entered the room, she leaned against the edge of the table, looked at him with her arms crossed and said straightforwardly, "Tell me. What do you want to talk to me?" She was so frank that Elliot became somewhat nervous. He had said those words that he wanted to tell her in his heart countless times, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at her unemotional eyes. After a while, he reluctantly smiled, "Nothing. I haven't talked to you for a long time, and I want to chat with you casually." Clarissa smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm not Lara, and I'm not interested in a man who has a fianc
"You cheated on me, and then we broke up and have resentment against each other. Shouldn't you hope that I would be cheated and hurt by others so that you could laugh at me?" "Now you finally prick your conscience and want to do something good so you try to cast a bone between me and Anderson? Will you get any benefit from this? Could it be that... you still like me? So you don't want me and Anderson to be in a good relationship?" After Clarissa finished speaking, she looked at him with a faint smile. Elliot's throat tightened. Seeing her sharp eyes, he felt that he had been seen through. He immediately put on a cold face, pretended to be serious and said, "Clarissa! I'm really warning you. Don't think I'm joking." Clarissa nodded in seeming earnest. "Oh, I see. So you really still like me and hope that I can break up with Anderson and be with you again?" Elliot was speechless. "Tut..." Clarissa said and shook her head. "What
Alvin was shocked! He opened his eyes wide, and his anger overflowed as he said, "Who is it?" Clarissa glanced at him and said with a sarcastic smile in her eyes, "Lara." "What?" Alvin was very surprised. Not only him, but anyone in the crew would also be surprised to hear this answer. They knew that Lara could do such a thing, but she really couldn't gain anything from this. It was known to everyone that Lara's career had been declining and she had no chance to appear in public because of the scandals not long ago. She took a lot of effort for her comeback and finally got the supporting role in this drama. Naturally, she should perform well and try to restore her image in the eyes of the audience. That was why drama was particularly important to her. If the director and the leading actress of this drama were tainted with scandals, the crew would definitely be affected, and maybe it would even affect the broadcast of this dram
"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
