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
Most importantly, Elliot was the president of the Duncan Group. Although the Duncan Group was not as powerful as the Jordan Group, at least it was one of the very best companies in Visstead. It could be imagined that Elliot, as the president, should be very busy every day. But he was willing to put aside his work on hand and brought Lara soup personally. How considerate he was! All the lesser-known actors were touched. Lara was naturally proud, and her eyes were full of laughter as she held the thermos. She even shared the soup with several actresses on the spot, which immediately made them scream gratefully. Seeing this, Clarissa was somewhat speechless. She suddenly remembered what Elliot had said to her last night. She didn't know what Lara would do if she knew that. Thinking of this, she suddenly had an evil idea and smiled playfully. "Nora, since Lara likes Elliot so much, will she go crazy if they break up one day?
After sitting for a while, seeing that it was late and their makeup was almost done, Elliot got up and said, "It's late, and I have to go back to the company now." Lara didn't want him to go and frowned. "Are you leaving so soon? Can you accompany me a little longer?" Elliot comforted her patiently, "I have something to deal with in the company. Besides, you won't have time to talk to me after you begin to film. I'd better leave and not bother you." Hearing this, Lara had no nod. "Okay! Let me see you off, and you must come to see me tomorrow." Elliot agreed. They turned around and walked out, but a clear voice suddenly came from behind before they took two steps. "Wait!" They turned around and saw Clarissa sitting on the chair and looking at them with a slight frown. "Elliot, I want to ask you something." Lara looked at her vigilantly, "Elliot is in a hurry to go back to work. If you have any question, could you ask him
"Last night?" Elliot raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, "It's just something unimportant." Lara smiled even more reluctantly. Elliot went to find Clarissa specifically just to say something unimportant? How could she believe it? But Elliot was very different from before, and even his temperament and character had changed. Sometimes she really didn't know what he was thinking about. So hearing what he said, she didn't dare to ask more and could only say softly, "Since it was just something unimportant, that's good. In fact, Clarissa has been in a bad mood because of the scandal with Director Leslie. You grew up together with her, and maybe she would feel better if you can comfort her." Elliot looked at her and sneered. "I went to comfort her, but you're not jealous?" Lara shook her head in a hurry. "Of course not. Clarissa is my family, and you're my future husband. I am happy that you can get along well. Why should
Lara suddenly opened her eyes wide. She looked at Clarissa in shock and horror. "What... do you want to do? You have obviously agreed..." "I promised Uncle Duncan that I wouldn't tell the relationship between the three of us indeed, but that is based on the premise that you don't provoke me. If you insist on annoying me." Clarissa sneered, and her eyes turned cruelly indifferent. "I won't show you any mercy. Anyway, you stole him from me. Let's wait and see whether you can still be his girlfriend or not!" "You!" Clarissa got up, didn't bother to talk to her anymore and left directly. Sophia didn't hear what they had just said, and she was so mad when she saw Clarissa leaving like this. "Lara, let's call the police or call Mr. Duncan! Since she dares to hurt you like this, we can't let her go!" Lara clenched her fists with great strength furiously. She almost broke her fingernails. Hearing Sophia's words, she turned her h
He suddenly got up from the chair and stared at the phone with a livid face. The secretary happened to come in and reported to him respectfully, "Mr. Duncan, the board meeting will start in ten minutes." Elliot's face darkened and he did not speak. After a few seconds, he said, "I see. Go out first." The secretary nodded and left. Elliot took a deep breath, suppressed the irritation in his heart and dialed a number. The phone was connected soon, and Lara's surprised voice came from the phone, "Elliot!" "What are you doing?" "Me?" Lara sat in the hospital, glanced at Sophia next to her and said with a guilty conscience, "Nothing. I'm in the crew..." "In the crew? Ha! It seems that you still don't know what happened online." Lara was taken aback and didn't know what was going on. "Online? What happened?" "See what you have done on your own!" Elliot roared and hung up the phone directly. Lara was stunned.
"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
