"He's not home?" Clarissa looked at the time. It was already 5:30 p.m. It was obviously impossible for Anderson to go to the company at this time. Where did he go? To be honest, Clarissa had already felt a little uneasy after she had come clean to him. When she woke up and found that Anderson was not here with her, she felt a little disappointed. But after all, she was a rational person. She thought that maybe he had something important to do and went out at the last minute. As Clarissa thought about this, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. Because Pattie and the servants were all on holiday today, she had to cook her own dinner. Clarissa turned around and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. At this moment, the door of the kitchen, which had always been closed, opened. Then Clarissa saw a man in an apron standing there with a spatula in his hand, holding a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in his hand.
As the phone was put on speaker, Clarissa also heard Marty's words. In fact, Clarissa had always been very interested in the Sapphire Financial Group. She just had no chance to touch base with it before. Now that she heard it, she naturally wanted to go. Most importantly, as far as she knew, the emblem of the Sapphire Financial Group was a purple and gold flower. She didn't know whether they had anything to do with Mark's death. She blinked her eyes while looking at Anderson. When Anderson saw this, he agreed. The next day, the auction was held in the international hall as scheduled. Because it was an important occasion, Clarissa was wearing a dark evening gown and had styled her hair, which made her look like a fairy. Anderson was also dressed in a white suit. His was short and neat, and he looked well-dressed. Compared to Marty's delicate appearance, Anderson gave people the feeling that he was cold and aloof. Clarissa held his hand as they a
Clarissa glanced at him and muttered, "If I like it, I can buy it myself." She was the same as before anymore. She had made a lot of money through Starlight and filming. Although it couldn't be compared to a tycoon like Anderson, she could still afford things that she liked. Anderson curled his lips and said, "Yeah, you can buy whatever you like." Clarissa was a little surprised. She turned to look at him. Seeing the smile on his face, she just remembered that all his bank cards, title deeds to his property, and shares were all in her hands. That was to say that Clarissa had all Anderson's property in her hand. Even if Anderson wanted to buy anything for her now, he would have to take money from her. For a moment, she could not help but feel her cheeks burning. Her heart swelled as it was filled with happiness. Marty did not know about the arrangements between the two of them so he had stared Anderson in surprise. "Anderson, you can't be
Clarissa felt a little embarrassed. Could she tell Arnie that she was just keeping it as a collection? Anderson said nonchalantly, "You don't have to worry about it, Miss." Arnie was speechless. She didn't expect that the man in front of her would be so persistent. He refused to give in no matter what she said. Clarissa, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed. When Clarissa was about to say something, Arnie sighed and said, "Sir, to tell you the truth, this jade hairpin is actually a birthday gift for my sister. My sister has been ill for many years. On one hand, I heard that wearing a jade ornament could benefit people; on the other hand, my sister has seen a picture of the jade hairpin and she likes it very much. So I'm asking for your help to give to me." Clarissa couldn't help but feel sorry for her. She couldn't bear to turn her down anymore. "After all, it's just a hairpin. I bought it just for fun. It would not be of much use.
Clarissa quickly flipped through the booklet in her hand and saw the introduction to the crescent-shaped diamond earrings. It was a pair of natural crescent-shaped blue diamonds found in a new mine in Marley. They were very rare. After the designer's cutting and polishing, they became what they were now. To be honest, Clarissa was tempted. Not only her, but also the ladies present, at the moment when the earrings were displayed, they could not help but exclaim. Obviously, everyone was amused. It was normal for everyone to love beautiful things. They were too beautiful! Marty was also a little tempted too, but when he saw the expectancy in Clarissa's eyes, he held back his idea. Forget it, as a man, he shouldn't compete with a woman. There were so many women. If he competed against them, he would be hated by many people. Sure enough, soon, some people began to bid. The starting price was ten million dollars. It increased by one milli
Clarissa was pissed. "You can even joke about this kind of thing. Miss Velazquez, your way of dealing with things is probably quite demoralized too." Arnie's expression did not change, or in other words, she had gotten that a lot, so she did not care at all. Her eyes were still fixed on Anderson. "Mr. Jordan, please think about it." Clarissa was so angry that she wanted to scratch her. She gritted her teeth, grabbed Anderson's arm and said, "Honey, I like that pair of earrings." Anderson nodded lovingly. "Alright, I'll buy it for you." Seeing this, Arnie seemed to be a little disappointed. Anderson finally looked at her, but his eyes were cold. He said in a low voice, "Miss Velazquez, I know what you're up to, but I'm sorry, I'm not your prey. For you..." He seemed to think for a moment to find a more apt way of putting it. "I'm not interested in a woman who can be bought with money." Arnie's expression changed slightly.
Clarissa was extremely shocked. She had an awkward expression on her face. She really couldn't understand how Old Master Levine made such an U-turn in his attitude towards her. Marty, who was next to him, was also confused. He didn't know what was going on until Old Master Levine and Gimmy left. He turned to look at Anderson. "Anderson, what are they doing? Why do I feel that Old Master Levine has a rather strange attitude towards Clarissa?" Clarissa didn't say anything. In fact, Marty wasn't the only one who felt that way. She had the same feeling as him. Anderson's eyes darkened slightly. However, Anderson didn't continue this topic. He only said in a deep voice, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's go." After that, he took Clarissa's hand and left. On the way home, Clarissa asked curiously, "What do Old Master Levine and Uncle Gimmy want to tell me?" Anderson lowered his eyes and looked at her. "Do you want to know?" Clarissa
Old Master Levine's face was livid, and his eyes were full of mockery. "What makes you think that we will bring her to you just because you have said so? Not to mention that the child hasn't been found, even if we did find her, it has nothing to do with you! I'm warning you, as long as I am alive, you can forget about it!" Harrison said in a deep voice, "Although she is given birth by Miss Levine, she is also my big brother's blood and bones. She is the heiress of our family. No matter what, we will not give up!" Old Master Levine laughed coldly. He didn't have the strength to argue with him anymore. Seeing this, Harrison bowed to him and said politely, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but I will be back." After that, he turned around and left. After he left, the butler came in and saw Old Master Levine sitting there with an ashen face. Seeing how sickly-looking he was now, the butler rushed forward. "Old Master Levine, how are you? Are you alright?"
"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
