She had a premonition that something bad was going to happen. As expected, after Issac hung up the phone, he walked towards her with an evil face. "Mrs. Jordan, you're being too self-deprecating if you said that you are not worth one billion dollars. Anderson is going to reach here soon, and I will take you out for some fresh air now. By the way, I will show you how the president of the Jordan Group begs me like a dog under my feet! Haha!" After finishing his words, Issac took out a rag from nowhere and stuffed it in her mouth. Then he lifted her up and walked out of the room. Clarissa's mouth was stuffed so she couldn't speak. She could only make a whining sound while struggling desperately. However, her physical strength could not be compared to Issac at all. He grabbed her and hung her up on the mast with a rope. Her whole body was like a flag, rising into the air. "Boohoo... Boohoo... " Issac raised his head and looked at Clarissa who was s
Soon, Clarissa was descended onto the deck. Issac reached out and grabbed her, as he quickly pointed the gun at her head. On the small boat, Anderson calmly watched this scene. In his earpiece, David's was briefly reporting to him. "Mr. Jordan, team one is ready, team two is ready, team three is ready, and we can take action." Anderson's eyes were so cold that there wasn't a trace of warmth in them. He opened his lips lightly. "Be careful and don't hurt her." "Yes sir!" On the fishing boat, Clarissa didn't know what was going on at all. Suddenly, a gun was pointed at her head. Issac didn't look like he was in his right mind. She was so scared that she screamed, "Issac! Are you crazy?" "You're right. I'm crazy! Oh! D*mn it! How dare you lie to me! Is there an ambush? Let's see who will win tonight!" Clarissa's face was pale, and her neck was locked from behind. She almost couldn't breathe. "Calm down. There is no ambush! There is no one here exc
Right at this moment. Bang! There was a loud gunshot and everyone was shocked. They all turned around to look and saw Issac's eyes wide open. There was a hole in his forehead where fresh blood flowed out. He was dead. David was the fastest to react. He immediately took out his gun and stood in front of Anderson and Clarissa, looking around vigilantly. This gunshot also alarmed the other bodyguards not far away, and they were all on the alert. After a long time. There was no more movement. Anderson slightly frowned and said, "Don't look, it was a sniper. The person should have already run away." David was shocked. However, Anderson no longer had any expression. He held Clarissa in his arms, while the fishing boat was already driven ashore. After getting off the boat, they saw several police cars parked on the shore. Behind Jameson, a large group of fully armed police boarded the fishing boat with guns. A fat middle-aged
Anderson didn't want to explain too much to her. He only patted her head and said in a deep voice, "In short, no matter where you go in the future, you must bring bodyguards with you." Clarissa's brows furrowed. However, this time, she was not repulsed by the idea. She only said softly, "When Nora arrives, I will let her follow me. She will be by my side 24/7 and I will never go out alone in the future." Only then did Anderson nod his head. "Clarissa!" Anderson suddenly called out to her. His voice was low, it sounded as if he was sighing. Clarissa responded to him, "Yeah." "If one day you find out that I'm hiding something from you, and you will have to be in danger all the time when you're with me, will you be afraid of that and leave me? You know there is no way for me to guarantee for you to be safe and sound all the time, even if I have tried my best to keep you safe." Clarissa was slightly stunned. She did not know what Anders
After the examination, it was confirmed that everything was fine with Clarissa. The bruise caused by the rope and the impact from hitting against the wall would be healed in two days' time. As for the baby, he was safe. However, in order to prevent accidents from happening, Amy still prescribed her some medicine to stabilize her uterus lining. She told Clarissa to stay in the hospital for the time being and not to go anywhere to avoid accidents. After that, David came in to invite Amy for tea. Amy knew that the couple must have something to say to each other, so she was obliged to not to be the third wheel and went out happily. Anderson helped Clarissa onto the bed and tucked her in. He said in a deep voice, "Take a rest to stabilize your condition the next few days. You're not allowed to go anywhere." Clarissa nodded, took his hand and asked him to sit down. "You should take a rest too. Also, let Amy treat your wounds." Anderson nodded.
"After you killed Issac, you pushed the blame to someone who did not even exist! Because of your social standing, the police naturally sided with you! Clarissa! You killed my husband, and I'm going to fight you to the death!" After that, Lia rushed toward Clarissa, desperately trying to tear her clothes apart. Clarissa was shocked. She quickly took a step back, and with Nora and Yasmin pulling her away in time, Clarissa was able to avoid Lia's attack. "How dare you!" Elicia was so angry that she slapped her in the face. "Lia, are you out of your mind?" Lia was stunned by her slap. She looked at Elicia in a daze and couldn't believe it. After all, she was Elicia's only daughter and she was the most favored and trusted one by Elicia over the years. "Mom, I didn't do anything wrong. They are the one who had committed a murder! It was them who killed Issac..." As Lia spoke, she began to cry. Elicia bellowed angrily, "Shut up! They didn'
However, Issac didn't say a word to LIa. Even if he lost all the valuable things at home, he didn't say a word. Every time he saw her, he was all smiles. Later, Lia learned that every time the other party came to him for an explanation, he would slap himself. He wouldn't stop until the other party stopped pursuing the matter. At that time, he said that when he had money in the future, he would retaliate against those people who had made him suffer before. At that time, she was very touched by Issac's gesture. Perhaps no one in this world would be this kind to her apart from Issac. So she tried her best to get the permission of the family to let Issac marry into the Ethanbez Family. In the end, Elicia could not withstand her stubbornness and agreed in the end. After getting married, he really went to those people and beat all of them up one by one, basking in the glory of the Ethanbez family. At that time, they got into an argume
At that time, both of them were still very young and naive. Since Clarissa had been saved by Jara, she didn't know a single person in the team. Facing a completely new and unfamiliar environment. She was terrified and even a little afraid. At that time, Clarissa had a pair of dead, lifeless looking eyes. She was like a pitiful hedgehog, hiding in the corner alone. Jara felt that it wasn't right for her to be left in such a state, so one day, he gathered all the people on the team. Everyone gathered around and looked at her as if they were looking at a rare beast. Everyone was a little shy when Jara asked if anyone was willing to be friends with her. It was Dylan who took the initiative to step forward. At that time, her smile was so bright and beautiful. Dylan was like the sun, bringing warmth and light into Clarissa's world. She stretched out her hand and said to her with a smile, "Hello, my name is Dylan. Let's be friends." Cla
"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
