Some people whispered, "Who's that? She's so beautiful!" "I don't know. Maybe she is a guest invited by the Chapman family!" When Clarissa left the Chapman family five years ago, she was still young and her facial features were not fully developed. Very few people had seen her because she had been studying in school most of the time. So when she reappeared, no one recognized her. Although other people didn't know her, Lara knew her. At this time, she was surrounded by a group of people. When she saw Clarissa coming in from the door, she got a little stunned. She thought, "Is that Clarissa?" In her impression, Clarissa was always dressed in professional suit or ordinary casual clothes. Although she looked clean and neat, it was simple and tedious. She dressed like that every day and was not feminine at all. Moreover, she didn't like to put on makeup or take care of her hair. Her hair was always black, long, and straight, making her l
Madison was stunned, and Chloe's expression changed. "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't..." Clarissa interrupted her directly, "Grandma, I've broken up with Elliot because of a personality clash, so you don't have to worry about our business anymore." Madam frowned and looked at Chloe with suspicion. "Clarissa, did she ask you to say these words?" Clarissa just smiled and didn't say anything. She didn't say yes or no. Chloe got so annoyed, "Clarissa! What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ask you to say something like this? It was you who insisted on coming over and explaining to Mrs. Richardson, and you even said that only in this way could she forgive you. Have you forgotten?" Clarissa smiled mockingly and said, "Oh? I don't know what mistake I've made. Why do I have to come and beg for my grandma's forgiveness?" At this time, Lara held Elliot's arm and walked to them. She stood by Lena's side and looked at Cl
Madison shook her head and felt so disappointed. "Clarissa, your mother asked me to take good care of you when she was still alive. But after that thing happened, you went abroad without telling me. I couldn't get in touch with you, and this is my fault. But I didn't expect that you would go astray like this!" "If you want to be with a man like Matthias, it doesn't matter. You can tell me honestly! Even if I don't agree, I will accept it if you must marry him!" "If he wants to bully you, the Richardson family and the Levine family won't let him go and he doesn't dare hurt you! But you hid it from me and refused to admit it no matter how I asked you. What do you think I am?" "Do you still regard me as your most respected elder? In the past five years, I couldn't find you and I was worried about you every day. I'm afraid that I'll feel sorry for your mother. But what about you? Is this how you repay me?" Clarissa's face turned pale. She opened her mout
"Anderson, the president of the Jordan Group has arrived!" The noisy crowd suddenly made a way for Anderson naturally. Everyone turned their heads in surprise and saw a tall and straight man slowly walking in. Clarissa's body trembled violently and she opened her eyes wide. Anderson walked quickly, and his paces were fast but not hasty. His eyebrows were dashing and his eyes were like stars. His dark pupils were like black jade, shining with cold light. He looked so stern and indifferent, making people feel a little scared. He was followed by David and several bodyguards in black. These bodyguards all stood at the door and didn't come in. David passed the gift in his hand to a servant in the Chapman family before following Anderson inside. "Anderson! It's really him. Why is he here?" Someone among the guests muttered in a low voice. Only then did the other guests come to sense. They were all shocked. Most of the people who came here were
Everyone in the Chapman family and Matthias, who wanted to escape, were all forced to stay in the hall. The banquet naturally came to an end. All the guests were stunned by what had happened, and they were puzzled. However, Anderson was there, so no one dared ask anything. But they whispered together in private. Who was Anderson? He was the president of the Jordan Group, and he controlled the business world in this country. It was no exaggeration to say that even if he wanted to marry a princess, it was reasonable. What's more, the Jordan family, the Duncan family, the Levine family and the Richardson family were the four most famous families in this city. People in such families could seldom decide their marriages by themselves, and they had to marry into another famous family. How could the Jordan Family allow their most outstanding heir to marry a daughter of an ordinary person? Everyone was talking about it. Those who had
"That drug is mixed with a kind of herb which can temporarily paralyze her vocal cords. However, it usually does not last long. She should be able to speak soon." Anderson nodded and asked David to send her out. After they left, he went to the bedside and looked at Clarissa who was lying on the bed. At this moment, Clarissa was much quieter. She was lying in the bed, motionless, as if she was asleep. But her face was still red, which showed that she still felt comfortable and was controlling herself. Anderson looked at her for a while, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and left. A few seconds later, the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Clarissa opened her eyes in a daze, then she saw Anderson walking to her. "Do you want to soak in the cold water?" She looked at him and nodded. Anderson carried her in his arms and walked towards the bathroom. The big bathtub was filled with water. Anderson put he
She agreed quickly, which surprised Anderson a little. Then he smiled. "But I have my conditions." "Tell me!" "Firstly, you're not allowed to announce our relationship before I agree. Secondly, you're not allowed to touch me without my permission!" The smile in Anderson's eyes turned cold, "Anything else?" Clarissa thought for a moment, but she couldn't think of anything else. She shook her head and said, "No." After a pause, she added, "I will tell you if I think of another condition." Anderson said in a deep voice, "So you want me to live like a monk?" Clarissa was stunned. "Mrs. Jordan, I am a normal man. If you always don't allow me to touch you, I can't sleep with you for the rest of my life." As he spoke, he got closer to her. Clarissa could only try her best to shrink in the corner. "That's not... what I mean..." The reason why she made such requests was that she subconsciously felt that their marriage would
She was in a dilemma as well. On the one hand, she didn't dare offend Anderson. On the other hand, Matthias betrayed her. No matter how she explained, she was in the wrong. She would never dare offend Anderson, so she had no choice but to sacrifice Matthias. As long as she insisted that Clarissa was in a relationship with Matthias, everything she had done would be reasonable. Besides, Anderson would think that Clarissa cheated on him. How could a powerful man like Anderson allow his woman to be disloyal to him? At that time, Clarissa would not only have something to do with Matthias, but she would also be wronged by Anderson. Chloe decided to give her a lesson at that time! Thinking of this, the expression in Chloe's eyes became colder. However, the next second, Matthias explained in a hurry, "Mr. Jordan, she's talking nonsense! I've never seen Miss Chapman before, so how could I have anything to do with her? If you don't believe me
"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
