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?"
The content of the will was very simple, but it surprised everyone present. For no other reason, except for Gimmy who would continue to take charge of the Levine's Group, Old Master Levine handed over the Levine Group's crucial 15% shares and many properties and private property under his name to Clarissa! Everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe what they had heard. Clarissa was also confused. She didn't understand Old Master Levine's intention of doing so. She stood up and refused. "Old Master Levine, I'm not a member of the Levine family, and I have nothing to do with it. I don't deserve all these things. It's not appropriate for you to do this. I can't take these shares and property." However, before she could finish her words, Old Master Levine raised his hand and interrupted her. "Clarissa, don't be too quick to turn it down." As he spoke, he looked at her gently and asked, "Do you still remember when you were born?" Clarissa was
Clarissa instantly lost interest to know more. She felt a little numb now. She said softly, "I'll think about it carefully. It's getting late. Old Master Levine, you're not in good health, so you'd better go to bed early." Old Master Levine nodded his head. Only then did Clarissa leave with Anderson and the rest. It was a peaceful conversation. In addition to a few distant relatives of the Levine family who were shocked, the few people who were directly involved in the matter were all surprisingly calm. Naturally, Old Master Jordan and Old Madam Jordan had returned to their mansion. They were just a middleman in this matter. Regardless of whether Clarissa would acknowledge her identity as a member of the Levine family in the end, it didn't matter to them. Anyway, in their eyes, Clarissa was already the best granddaughter-in-law that could ever have. Her background didn't matter. Clarissa, on the other hand, followed Anderson back t
Clarissa nodded. She could feel Old Master Levine's good intentions towards her. No matter how he treated her before, at least after discovering that she was Vivian's children, his attitude towards her took a U-turn. It was just that... Clarissa's eyes deepened as she thought of Mark's death. "Anderson, no matter how complicated the Hampden family is, I want to have a try." Anderson knew what she was thinking. Clarissa had made everything clear to him. Therefore, he could tell what she wanted to do at a glance. Anderson's eyes became deeper, as he drew her closer to him. "Well, go ahead. Don't worry about anything else. I'm here." Clarissa smiled. "Alright." Old Master Levine's health was deteriorating. After announcing the will that night, he fell into a coma the next day. According to the doctor, several of his important organs were failing. If it weren't for the advanced medical treatment they had
This partner could be the offspring of a government official, or the relative of the leader of a large consortium in the world. All in all, they were either rich or noble people. In order to ensure that nothing would go wrong between their marriage, they would inject poison into each other's body when they had just been born once they were assigned with partners. This type of poison left from the previous dynasty was kept by the Hamden family The poison could be broken down into two elements, they lived or died at the same time. One was planted on the woman's body, and the other on the man's body. The effects of the poison could only be reversed when they had intercourse with each other after their marriage. On the contrary, if the two of them did not end up together, the poison would spread in their bodies until they died in great pain. The Hampden family was the descendant of the royal family. Perhaps it was for the sake of the family's prosp
"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
