Her relationship with Elliot was so stiff, so naturally it was better for them not to meet for the time being. Thus they wouldn't embarrass each other in front of so many people. Although she thought like this rationally and knew that he would not appear, she was still upset in heart. After all, she deliberately asked Sophia to call Elliot, which meant that she had realized her mistake and wanted to apologize. Elliot was so smart and he would understand. But he still refused to come. This showed that he didn't want to forgive her, or he was still angry with her. Thinking of this, Lara laughed at herself and felt more depressed and disappointed. "Lara!" At this moment, a surprised voice sounded. She looked up and saw a beautifully dressed girl trotting towards her while raising the hem of her dress. She was taken aback, and it took a long time for her to recognize the girl. "Lola? Your face... What happened?" Lola l
Over the years, she had been constantly competing with Clarissa, which made her ignore what she really wanted in her heart. At this time, she knew it clearly. What she wanted was just Elliot's love! Lara clenched her fingers with great strength. She grabbed her bag so tightly that her fingertips turned pale. Her whole body was trembling slightly because of the violent mood swings. Elliot walked towards her step by step. There was a pleasant smile on his face. Under the lights, his smile was warm, shiny and as elegant as a prince. He was getting closer and closer to her. She seemed to have smelled the familiar smell of cologne on him. She personally chose the cologne for him, and he wore it everyday because she liked its smell. The cologne called "Only". She wanted his heart to only belong to her, and no one could take him away. Lara was a maelstrom of churning emotions. Seeing that Elliot had already walked to her, she s
After a long while, he lowered his head and said with a bit of depression, "Because I betrayed you and did so many bad things to you. I even colluded with others to bully you. Are you still hating me?" Clarissa raised her eyebrows. Was it because he was guilty that he lowered his head? She chuckled and shook her head. "No, I don't hate you." Elliot's body trembled slightly. He raised his head in disbelief and looked at her with his eyes opened slightly wide. "Why?" "Because hate means remembering. I don't have to remember someone who is not important to me because of hatred." After that, she smiled lightly, and really left without looking back. Elliot stood there in a daze. Looking at her back, he felt so shocked in heart and his mind went blank. His whole body was somewhat stiff, as if he was struck by lightning. What did she say? She didn't hate him because he was just an unimportant person in her life. He was no
At the same time. Lara was sent back to the Duncan family by the bodyguards. Conner went on a business trip to another province these days, so apart from the servants, there were only Lara and Elliot in the house. The servants were all shocked when they saw that Lara was suddenly taken back by two bodyguards. The head servant stepped forward to ask what was going on, but the bodyguard scolded him. Two strong bodyguards looked at them and said in a deep voice, "This is Mr. Duncan's order. Mrs. Duncan is only allowed to stay in the room tonight. None of you are allowed to let her out, let alone go in to see her. That's all." "But, why?" "Where do you have so many questions? We do as Mr. Duncan's order. As for other things, don't ask too much." After speaking, the two bodyguards left. Lara's hoarse cry and the sound of smashing things came from the bedroom. The servants looked at each other and dared not say anything. It wa
"You haven't earned back the money I lost for you. How can I be so stupid to divorce you? Little fool." His tone was light, but Lara shuddered suddenly. When she was listening to his words, she had a feeling that a cold poisonous snake was crawling up from her back, and its head was hanging on her neck, as if it would bite her in the next second. Her face changed. She felt that he moved his fingers from her head to her face and was about to touch her lips, and she raised her hand and slapped away his fingers. She cursed, "You lunatic!" "Ha!" Elliot chuckled, "If I am a lunatic, you're the wife of a lunatic. How do you feel? Are you scared to stay with a lunatic like me?" Lara tried her best to pretend to be calm. She looked up at him and sneered, "I can continue to pretend to be husband and wife with you, but you'd better stay away from me from today and don't touch me again!" After that, she got up and walked to the bathroom.
There was a weird fragrance in the air. When she got in the car, the smell was too light and she didn't notice it. As time passed by, it became more and more intense and even a little pungent. She braced herself and tried to grab the car door, but she couldn't exert any strength. She felt a knot in her throat and she couldn't speak. Gradually, she felt dizzy and was about to lose conscience... Before she fainted, she saw that the driver take off her mask, turned her head and gave her a vicious smile. "You... are..." ...... Clarissa didn't know how long she had been in a coma. She was awakened by a wave of coldness. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a simple cement-built operating room. The iron-gray walls were glowing with cold light, and there was an incandescent lamp above her head. The dazzling light hurt her eyes. Where was here? She gradually thought of something. She wanted to take a taxi to the pottery shop. Later,
"So what do you want to do?" "Humph, don't worry. You are my sister anyhow. I won't really peel off your face and use it to make wine." She suddenly straightened up, took a step back, and pointed to the men behind her. "Do you see that? I prepared them specially for you. I just want to see if Anderson is really so good and loyal to you." "I won't kill you either, but I will take you back when you are disabled and injured after being raped by them. Then I'll see if he will still keep you by his side and spoil you." After Lara finished speaking, she suddenly took out a needle tube from her pocket, drew the blue liquid from another bottle and injected it into Clarissa's body. Clarissa struggled, but it didn't work. She suddenly panicked, "What are you doing?" Lara sneered. "Don't worry. It won't kill you, but it will make you more comfortable later. After all, I want them to cause you disabled, but not rape you to death. It will be so
On the sofa in the living room, Nora and Pattie were sitting there. Nora looked regretful. Clarissa had told her the whole plan, but she didn't expect that she would actually lose sight of Clarissa. Pattie didn't expect that Clarissa would have an accident. The door of the living room was pushed open, and Anderson appeared at the door with an anxious face. "Mr. Jordan!" "Mr. Jordan!" The two immediately stood up together. Anderson glanced at them with sharp eyes coldly, and then walked into the house. "Where are the surveillance videos?" "Mr. Jordan! This is the result that I found out ten minutes ago. Mrs. Jordan should have been taken away by a gray taxi." "Now I have hacked into the surveillance system of the whole city, but I haven't found the car yet." Anderson took the iPad and took a look with aloof eyes. Nora wanted to say something else, but Anderson suddenly got up and walked outside. Her eyelids tw
"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
