Lara's eyes widened in shock. "You mean…" Erin sneered. "What people hate most is the collusion among powerful and rich people. What if Anderson supports Clarissa? The better Anderson treats her, the more people will think that the rich can do whatever they want." "In this way, people will start to hate her. Do you really think that the Jordan Family has no enemies in Flaucford? Ha! Someone has coveted its status for a long time." "If the Jordan Group is under pressure because of the public opinion, the Jordan family will definitely put pressure on Anderson. At that time, family interests and a woman, which one do you think Anderson will choose?" Lara was stunned. After a moment, she reacted and smiled with joy. "I see! Erin, so the most important we should do is to find Clarissa?" "Yeah, we must prove that she was not kidnapped, so that everyone can believe that what happened is just her lie!" Lara nodded. "Okay, I see
Clarissa nodded. "That's not right." Matteo frowned, "Since Lara and her mother had come to your house and your mother knew that she would have an accident, it was impossible for her to only leave a necklace for you." "Grandma, you mean that..." "Listen. If I were your mother, and I knew that they came to my house not only for your father, but also for the properties." "In this case, I would definitely transfer part of the properties to your name in advance. In this way, even if something bad happened to me in the future, you would not be bullied. Am I right?" Clarissa was slightly stunned. In fact, she had felt puzzled about this matter indeed, but her mother had passed away, so it didn't make much sense to think about it. As far as she knew, when her mother was still alive, many of the properties of the Campos Group had been taken away by Gianni and Chloe. Her mother Sierra was indifferent to fame, and she didn't like competing with oth
Anne thought happily in her heart. Clarissa didn't know her thoughts, but felt more grieved when she looked at her well-behaved appearance. Clarissa hugged Anne for a while and then let go of her. She was worried that Anne would be hungry, so she wanted to feed her, but Anderson stopped her in a deep voice. He said with a serious face, "Don't spoil her. Let her eat by herself." Clarissa was taken aback, and subconsciously wanted to say that Anne was still small. Unexpectedly, Anne suddenly took the small spoon by herself and ate a mouthful of food. She puffed up her cheeks and said while eating, "Mommy, I've grown up, and I can eat by myself, so I don't need others to feed me." Clarissa laughed as she looked at Anne. She felt warm in heart and tapped Anne on her nose lightly. "Okay, you're the best." Anne smiled happily. Opposite them, Matteo smiled in relief as she watched such a harmonious scene. After eating, they returned
Hearing Erin's words, Lara reacted. She murmured, "Yes, as long as I am Elliot's wife and the daughter-in-law of the Duncan family, they won't leave me alone. Erin, call Elliot for me." Erin nodded and walked out. It didn't take long before she hung up. She walked in and said to Lara, "Mr. Duncan and his father are on the way here. They must have heard the news that you were arrested. When I called him, he said that he was about to get here." Lara breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Fortunately, she was still Mrs. Duncan. Even if Elliot no longer loved her, he would save her for the sake of the reputation of the Duncan family. Erin waited with Lara for a while, and Elliot and Conner arrived soon. When Lara saw them, she suddenly felt that the endless grievances she had in heart all burst out at this moment. She wanted to cry. Her eyes blurred with tears as she said, "Dad! Elliot." Conner still looked neither c
Halfway through, Lara suddenly stopped. She turned to look at one of the policemen and said solemnly, "I want to make another call." The policeman looked at her impatiently, "How many phone calls have you made today? Do you really think someone will come to rescue you? Stop thinking about it and stay there. Thinking about it carefully and confessing your crime honestly is the only right way. Understand?" Lara sneered coldly. She moved a step aside, and suddenly slammed her head against the wall. The two policemen were startled and quickly pulled her. "Are you crazy? What do you want to do?" "I want to make a phone call!" Two policemen were speechless. Finally, one of them waved his hand helplessly. "Alright, give it to her! She is really insane." Lara got the phone as her wish. She held the phone, only to feel that her fingertips were shaking. She said that she didn't want her privacy to be violated, and she
The next day, Clarissa received a phone call from Millie. The news that Lara was taken away by the police caused a stir, so the Chapman family naturally knew about it. Last night, they got the news earlier than Elliot, but they wanted to see what the Duncan family would do, so they didn't take action. However, Elliot and Conner not only didn't put up bail for Lara but also said that she had committed a crime and she asked for it. The Duncan family was implicated by her. The board of directors became highly unstable. The endorsement had been canceled and they had spent a lot of money in vain. They hadn't got even with Lara because of these problems. So why should they find a way to put up bail for Lara? Conner even said that if Lara was released, that would be good. If she really committed a crime, the Duncan family would never cover for her. At that time, Elliot must divorce her. People in the Chapman family went berserk. Chloe was so an
Her tone was sad. Gianni said in a mad tone, "Should we really tell her the truth five years ago?" Chloe said, "Although Clarissa said so, I have thought about it. Since she is all right, she can't hide for a lifetime. Now she is just threatening us, and maybe she hasn't learned all the truth yet." "As long as we don't do anything, she can do nothing about us. As for Lara, I will send someone to take care of her." "She can only be wronged for the time being, but her status is special, so she won't suffer too much. As long as she resists the pressure and does not admit it, there might be no problem." Hearing this, Lena couldn't believe it as if she had heard a joke. "Mom, even you can't make sure what will happen to Lara! It means that she might confess her crime if she can't stand it. Lara hasn't suffered much since she was a child. How can she stay in such a place?" Chloe looked at her impatiently. "Didn't I send someone to arrange it? She cau
The atmosphere immediately became awkward. Matteo hurriedly pulled Angara and smiled with embarrassment. "Anne just likes to talk nonsense! Ha-ha, Gabriela, don't take it to heart. Children just say what they like!" Gabriela sneered in heart. Children and fools spoke the truth. Gabriela really got angry. She always maintained a very thin figure, because she used to be a model. Although she was not as perfectly proportioned Clarissa, she was not ugly! Moreover, it was well-known that she had a remarkable temperament. Although her facial features were not particularly outstanding, her whole face looked very pleasant to the eye. Therefore, she had a very famous title "Snow White" in the entertainment circle. The reason why she was called "Snow White" was not that she really looked like Snow White, but her skin was particularly white, and she was slender and had an excellent temperament. When she stood there, she looked lofty and proud,
"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
