"That's good then. Please keep this a secret for me. I don't want too many people to know about it." "Okay, I understand. Don't worry! If there is any better work, I'll tell you." "Okay, thank you." After hanging up the phone, Evelyn sat there in a daze for a while. Then, she checked the balance in her account on her phone. Looking at the four-digit numbers on the screen she could not help but let out a bitter smile. In this world, probably no one would have thought that a quite famous actress like her, who had won awards had only 3000 dollars left in her bank account. Everyone thought that being a celebrity was a glorious profession. Why was she the only miserable one? Evelyn sighed. At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, her expression suddenly changed. She put her finger on the hang-up button, hesitated for a long time, and finally answered the call. A hoarse male voice came from the other end of
As he spoke, Forbos stood up and was about to leave. Confused for a moment, Evelyn's face immediately darkened when she realized what was on his mind. She stopped him and said, "What are you going to do?" Forbos sneered and said, "It's not too much to ask my son-in-law for a bride token!" Evelyn almost flew into a rage. "Don't you have any shame? I have nothing to do with him at all! We had a few meals together as the main actress and sponsors of the same film. Even if he really likes me, we're not together. You don't have the right to ask for money from him!" Forbos sneered, "That's none of my business. That's yours." "How dare you!" Evelyn was so angry that she felt a throbbing pain in her head. She always knew that her foster father was a scoundrel. These years, she seemed to carefree, but in fact, she had been suffering in silence. Since her father passed away 10 years ago, Evelyn's life seemed to have fallen into hell overnight
A few days later, Forbos called her several times in a row, urging her more for money. Evelyn felt that she was going to be driven crazy. Sometimes, she felt like she couldn't care less about anything anymore. If Forbos wanted to expose her dark past, then he could go ahead! No matter how much she liked acting and wanted to be an actress, it didn't matter if she could not be an actress anymore. She didn't care if she would lose everything she had right now! But as she thought of her mother who was still in the hospital, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. The thought of Evelyn getting into a life-and-death struggle with Forbos subsided. She could not let things fall apart! If she fell, what about her mother? At this moment, she received a call from Marissa. Marissa was a blunt person. She never beat around the bush. As soon as the phone was connected, she asked directly, "Do you really need money? Confused for a moment, Evelyn no
"Kieran, you agreed to bring beautiful women here. Why didn't I see any of them here?" "They're here. I'm sure everyone will have a good time tonight." As he said that, he winked at the girls outside the door. Although some of them were reluctant, there were also those who wanted to try their luck, went in first. Evelyn followed at the end of the group of girls, complaining in her heart for many times. This was not even close to a business event. This was clearly asking them to be the bar girls under the disguise of a business event. Fortunately, there were too many people, so she should be fine. In the meantime, she would have to keep a low profile to get through the night. As Evelyn thought about this, she lowered her neck, trying to make herself look small and insignificant. As soon as she entered the room, Evelyn found that there were a large group of people sitting inside. The room was big, with at least a hundred square meters.
After getting out of the room, Evelyn wanted to call Keiran to ask him where their car was. Before he came, he had said that if it was inconvenient for them to get a ride after the party, they could call him, and he would send a car to pick them up. However, before she could make a phone call, she felt a little dizzy. Evelyn's vision suddenly blurred as her head was spinning. Evelyn closed her eyes and shook her head again. Mr. Harper walked in front of her. Seeing this, he stopped and asked with concern, "Miss Evelyn, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" "Uh... I'm fine. Maybe I drank too much. I'm fine." "I guess you must have drunk too much. You've really drunk a lot tonight. How about this? Where do you live? I'll give you a ride home." As he was saying, he was about to put his arm around her shoulder. Evelyn took a step back and tried to avoid him. She forced a smile and said, "Mr. Harper, you don't need to do that.
The bodyguards were chasing after them, but they didn't expect that they would be stopped halfway. Just when they were confused about what had happened, Mr. Harper caught up with them. "Hey, what are you guys waiting for? Where is she?" The bodyguards were looking at the girl in Marty's arms. Mr. Harper followed the direction of their gaze and was suddenly stunned. Who was that person? Why did he look so familiar? Although Marty had always been high-profile, there were not many people who could really get in touch with him. Everyone could only know about his stuff from the titbits they heard. Besides, it was night-time. The corridor of the hotel was full of colorful lights and dimly-lit. In addition, Mr. Harper had drunk a lot and had been kicked by Evelyn. His eyes became turbid as the alcohol kicked in. At this moment, he could only see a young man who looked familiar holding Evelyn in his arms. He thought he was a second-generation rich kid
Although Evelyn was half-awake when she was at the hotel just now, she still knew that Marty had saved her. As soon as she got into the car, leaning in his arms, she said after regaining some energy, "Thank you." Marty gazed down at her. He was here for a business meeting today. Marty was in a bad mood recently, so he didn't bring any women with him, but he didn't expect to meet her here. She still looked terrible as usual. Wasn't she supposed to be filming? Why was she hanging out with this bunch of sc*mbags? It was not that he did not know the hidden rules in the entertainment circle. He also knew that there was a group of people who liked to dally with some female stars to highlight their presence.. Marty would not intervene as long as both parties consented to such a relationship. Similar things happened in Energence International Corp too. As long as there was mutual consent, everyone usually turned a blind eye to it and no one would
Although an incident had happened in-between, it was said that the money from last night was given to Marissa first, there should be no problem for Evelyn to receive the pay. As for Sergey, he deserved it! In fact, Evelyn didn't know what Marty did to Sergey. Last night, although she didn't completely lose consciousness, she still had a brain fog. So she actually didn't hear clearly what everyone said at that time. Therefore, she didn't know that Marty had closed down the Harper Group in Flaucford. After she dialed Marissa's number, she quickly smiled and said, "Marissa, my pay last night, is it convenient for you to transfer it to me now?" On the other end of the line, Marissa's tone was full of helplessness. "I'm sorry, Evelyn. That money... You might not be able to get them." Evelyn was stunned. "What?" "Alas! Did something happen to you last night? Someone called you today and said that you offended a very important guest.
"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
