As Lara spoke, she began to burst into tears. "I'm sorry, grandpa. I really didn't expect it to end up like this. It's all my fault. I had embarrassed you and offended the whole of the Jordan Family, I'm sorry." Lara apologized again and again, although she had said it countless times tonight. But she knew that in front of Old Master Levine, she must keep a low profile and played the victim. At least, she couldn't let Old Master Levine to be completely disappointed in her and gave up on her. As expected, he glanced at her before he said coldly, "Do you know what's the biggest mistake you made tonight?" Lara was stunned. Staring at him blankly, she shook her head. "Your biggest mistake is that, since you have already made your move, you should have struck a deadly blow on your opponent, rather than leaving the space for him to breathe and the chance to get back at you." He sighed and said in a low voice, "Luckily, Anne is just a kid
Gillee glanced at her again in disdain. He said in a low voice, "Do you know that just because of what happened today, the Holland family has reneged on the arranged marriage between you and Jaden." Lara shuddered in shock. Lara looked up at him in disbelief as her expression changed slightly. "Why?" Gillee sneered. "Humph, what else could it be? They don't want Jaden to marry a troublesome person. Look what you've done tonight. Do you think anyone from the upper class of Flaucford would want to marry you?" Lara was speechless. She bit her lip. Lara clenched her fist tight as she felt the humiliation boil up inside her. Gillee sighed. "That's enough. We'll talk about the arranged marriage next time. It's getting late. You should go back now. Remember to be careful so that they will not be suspicious of you." Lara nodded, and then turned around to leave. However, before she reached the door, Lara were stopped by Gillee again.
Lara was stunned as she turned around. Gabriela quickly smiled to cover up her deliberateness. Lara raised her eyebrows as she immediately caught the undertone of her question. Lara then explained, "Did you mean the butterfly birthmark on the back? It existed when I was a child. Later, it gradually disappeared when I grew up." She answered in a nonchalant tone, and did not sound nervous or guilty at all. It was as if she was talking about something ordinary. Gabriela pursed her lips. "I see. I didn't know the birthmark can disappear by itself, it's so magical." Lara smiled and said, "Yes, but it's not impossible. After all, it's just a pigment in skin. It's a common occurrence in medicine." Gabriela nodded. "I see." The two of them didn't share any common topics to talk about. After eating, they didn't go back to the hot spring pools. After resting for a while, they went back home. When Old Master Levine heard that they went o
Upon hearing this, Old Master Levine suddenly flew into a rage. "What did you say? I dare you to say it again!" Gabriela stiffened her neck. She got really angry too and said, "I said, I don't agree!" "How dare you!" Clutching his chest, Old Master Levine's face was flushed with anger. Seeing this, Gabriela felt her heart tighten and hurried to get the medicine for him. "Grandpa, are you okay? Hurry up and take the medicine!" Old Master Levine slapped her away and said angrily, "Why do you still care if I live or not when you don't even listen to me? Won't you be happy if I died? No one will force you to do anything in the future." Gabriela's heart ached. Looking at how he looked now, she did not have the heart to argue with him. She said sadly, "Grandpa, I don't like Jaden and I don't want to marry him. I'm just speaking my mind. In your heart, isn't your grandchildren's happiness more important than power and interests?" Old Maste
After all, the day before yesterday, Old Master Levine still seemed to be protective of Lara. He was very dissatisfied with Clarissa forcing Lara to apologize. "Why is he acting like a different person today?" Clarissa felt that there was something off about it, so she turned down his invitation without thinking. However, just after she rejected Old Master Levine, Quinne called her again. Clarissa was not familiar with Quinne, but because Clarissa was close to Gimmy, Quinne was Gimmy's wife, so their relationship, naturally, was not too bad. Quinne called her to ask her to do a spa together. This time, Clarissa was even more surprised. From their conversation, she learned that Quinne owned a chain beauty center. Recently, the store had introduced a new massage technique. It was said that one would feel very comfortable after massage and it was particularly good for female care. However, it was a strange timing for Quinne to invite her at
The next day, Clarissa returned to shooting a series. Recently, she had taken up a role in a period drama, set in wartime. Although the theme was not very popular, Clarissa liked it very much after reading the script. So even though she was not the female lead, she still agreed to take part in it. Today, Clarissa had a fighting scene with the second male lead. In order to ensure that the scene looked real enough, the director did not choose to film it indoors and edit it afterward. Instead, he chose to do the shooting at the real venue. The site chosen by the crew was located on a famous mountain on the outskirts of the Flaucford city. This mountain was famous because there was a lighthouse on top of the mountain. The scenery on the mountain was beautiful, covered with green. It just happened that today was a sunny day. Standing on the mountain, one would feel relaxed and happy. Before filming, the crew had already cleared up the venue and set up th
Heavy drops of water did not stop falling from the sky Clarissa squatted down on the ground, trembling all over. The director and a group of staff immediately gathered around and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?" Clarissa nodded. "Your hand is injured? Hurry up! Send Clarissa to the hospital immediately!" Clarissa had very little memory of what happened next. She didn't know what was going on either. She just felt dizzy and heavy-headed. Everyone was helping her to bandage the wound using strips of cloth, but it did not stop the wound from bleeding profusely. It didn't take long for her to lose consciousness. At the same time, on the other side. The Levine family's old mansion. Old Master Levine met Albetine. They had already run a paternity test on the two strands of hair and the results were out. This result, however, surprised everyone. Not only was Clarissa the daughter of Vivian, but al
Old Master Levine's persistence was unusual. Since he already said that, although Anderson suspected him, he knew in his heart that the possibility of this being true was very small. Firstly, for a person of a social standing like Old Master Levine, there was not necessary for him to deal with Clarissa for such a trivial thing. Besides, the ploy engaged was execrable, it didn't seem to be his doing. Thus, after a few seconds of stalemate, Anderson still made way. Old Master Levine hurried into the room. Clarissa hadn't woken up yet. Her treatment would require anesthetics and she had just had a high fever, so she was sleeping e. He looked at her from a distance and saw that half of her pale face was buried in the pillow. She looked so fragile and pitiful. His eyes could not help but turn red. "How are her injuries? Will she be fine?" Anderson's eyebrows furrowed deeper. He couldn't fathom out Old Master Levine's behavior now.
"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
