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
There was a sharp pain in her palm. The buckle cut through the skin and stuck in her flesh and blood. Clarissa's face was a little pale, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to ignore the pain. After swinging for more than twenty times, her toes finally touched the rock on the cliff. She quickly made use of the opportunity to cling to the cliff and stand firmly. This was an extremely difficult movement that ordinary people couldn't do. Fortunately, she used to practice fighting for a long time aboard. Although she was somewhat exhausted, she was still skilled and could barely do it. After standing firmly, she observed the topography and found that although the cliff was steep, there were many uneven rocks and weeds on it. It should not be difficult for her to climb up. The only problem she had was that she didn't know what on the cliff was. She didn't want to climb up with difficulty but was caught by Lara's people. Wasn't that so
Clarissa hugged him more tightly and put her head on his shoulder. Feeling her attachment, Anderson held her waist with more strength and said solemnly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here." "Okay." Clarissa nodded and said in a crying tone, "I'm fine." How could she be fine? Her palm had been bedding. Anderson's rough hands were covered by calluses because he exercised with various sports equipment all year around, but hers were different. She had never done such a fierce exercise before, and her hands were very tender. After swinging to the cliff by the rope and climbing such a long way, her hands had got badly mutilated. If her hands didn't get numb due to the pain, she couldn't be able to get here. Anderson understood naturally this, so he felt more distressed. His heart ached so much that he didn't even bear to blame her for acting on her own and being over-confident. Soon, the two reached the ground. Clarissa could no longe
Clarissa was taken aback and looked up at him. However, he saw his intense eyes, serious face, as well as his dark eyes circles. Obviously, he did not sleep well last night, and he had been worried all day, so he looked very tired. Her heart suddenly softened, and she even felt a little guilty. She quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't think about it carefully. I was wrong! I won't be so reckless next time!" Anderson raised his eyebrows, "Will you still do it next time?" Clarissa was speechless. She reached out and tried to pull his sleeve, but her hand was wrapped in gauze and she couldn't touch him at all. She could only rub his hand against his arm. "No, don't be angry." "You promise?" "I promise!" "What if you do it again?" Clarissa thought for a while and said seriously, "If I do it again, you can do whatever you want to punish me, and I will never complain." Only then did his expression ease a bit, and he r
Clarissa didn't know what method he used to persuade those people to keep them from revealing the news that she had been found. But since he had negotiated with the police, she naturally couldn't make any mistake. So, that night, when there was no one in the middle of the night, Clarissa asked Nora to make a simple disguise for her. She took advantage of the darkness, left the hospital quietly and returned to Estdal Manor. Naturally, Anderson had no objection. Clarissa's injuries were not serious, not to mention that there was a doctor at home, and her medical skills were not worse than those in the hospital. After returning home, he sent away most of the servants and gave them a week off, leaving only Pattie and another servant who had been responsible for cooking for a long time. Pattie didn't know their plan, but she was not talkative. Since Anderson didn't say it, she didn't dare to ask. There were many rumors about Clarissa being kidnapped.
Anderson naturally thought of this and said in a deep voice, "Since she has the courage to come forward, she should understand that there will be such consequences. She has done so many bad things to you before, and it's good that she is willing to compensate you like this." Although Clarissa was sympathetic towards Rosie, she knew that Anderson was right, so she didn't say anything more. Rosie's video spread quickly, and soon everyone knew it. Lara naturally saw this video, and she suddenly got surprised and angry! She didn't expect that Rosie was really caught by Clarissa when she disappeared. At the time, when Clarissa was scolded by netizens, she did not take any evidence to prove her innocence, so Lara thought that perhaps Rosie's disappearance had nothing to do with her. It seemed that Clarissa was just waiting for a right time to touch her tender spot. She wanted to completely ruin her life. Lara suddenly felt flustered. The recording wa
"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
