Although Clarissa told herself not to be bothered by her words again and again, she still felt a little strange after hearing the same thing a few time. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. Having doubts was just a deep-seated bad habit that humans could not get rid of. She turned to look at Nora. "Nora, let's go back." Nora nodded and got in the driver's seat to start the car engine. While the car was driving on the road, Clarissa was holding the phone, and her mind was wandering. Just then, a "Ding" sound suddenly came from her cell phone. She picked it up and saw a text message. Clarissa frowned. Looking at the sender of the text message, she subconsciously didn't feel like opening it. However, after hesitating for a moment, she still decided to click open it. The text message was sent by Jara. The content was very simple. It was a photo. In the photo, there was a blond, blue-eyed man with
It was a rather aggressive name for a place where wealth and fortune were gathered. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It was said that there were various gambling games inside, including boxing bets and many other exciting entertainments. Not only was it a money squandering den, and it was also the entertainment outlet loved by the rich. Most of the people who came here were rich and powerful people from all over the world. Clarissa got out of the car with Nora and David, threw the key to the valet, before entering the door of the club. It was daytime, so there were only a few people inside. However, she knew that it was just a façade. On the surface, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a pub rock, but in fact, the most exciting bits were located underground. Moreover, as far as she knew, many people from the Lost Vanguard loved to hang out here. If she was right, she might bump into her old acquaintances here! Thinking of this, Claris
With a straight face on, Mick said without emotion, "It is just a decision made by the management. They have their own way of dealing things." "Really? But why did he hand over such a serious matter like assassinating Anderson to Dylan without even telling you? You should be way more qualified than her!" Mick's facial expression changed slightly. "You're just being used as a disposable pawn! You're indeed the person in charge of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon now. But if the secrets come to light one day, judging from Blade Scar's character and taking account of the grudge between Dylan and you, what do you think will happen to you then?" "That's enough!" Mick slammed the table suddenly, stood up, and stared at her coldly from above. "You're trying to sow discord between us! Do you think I'll believe you and betray Blade Scar just because of this little trick? You're too naïve!" Clarissa didn't say anything but just looked at him quietly.
Jack looked up at her and replied politely, "Thank you!" After finishing his words, he couldn't wait to open the gift. It turned out to be a complete set of painting tools. Clarissa smiled and said, "I heard that Jack likes to paint since young. I don't know what to buy, so I just picked a set of painting tools. Hope this is not too shabby for you!" When everyone heard this, they all laughed. The Ethanbez Family was rich and affluent, and they had seen all types of valuable things before. They didn't care about the value of the present. Anderson also handed over the gift he brought. However, he was much more straightforward and gave Jack a black card. When Bowen saw this, he was a little fearful. He said that it was too expensive and refused to accept it. However, he was rebuked by Anderson's words. "Keep it. It's for your marriage in future." When the group of people heard this, they immediately burst into laughter. Seeing th
Behind her, Vans's voice could be heard. "Young Master Jameson is dealing with a few matters. Madam, please sit for a while!" Lauren turned his head and smiled at him. She placed the cake on the table and sat down on the sofa. "What would you like to drink?" "Anything." "Is black tea okay?" "Sounds great!" There was a set of antique tea set on the table. Vans was skillfully making tea for Lauren. She looked at it thoughtfully. Soon, the fragrance of the tea came to the tip of her nose. Vans handed her a cup of brewed tea. She took a small sip. The first sip was slightly bitter, but in the next moment, there was a sweet taste that followed. "I didn't expect you're good at making tea!" Vans smiled and sat down in front of Lauren. "Young Master Jameson likes it! So I took time to learn how to make tea a few days ago. I'm flattered!" Lauren smiled slightly. "It's his blessing to have such a loyal subordinate like you
On the other end of the line, Alex hesitated for a while and said, "I don't have that much in my hands for the time being." "How much do you have now?" "About eight million." "Transfer it to me first. As for the rest, I'll figure it out by myself." "Okay! But..." He paused, a little worried. "Did you get into any trouble? Are you sure you can handle it yourself?" Lauren was stunned for a moment and then laughed. "Don't worry! I'm fine. I'll give you back the money soon." "Oh, you don't have to do that. Take good care of yourself outside. How long has it been? You and dad are still angry with each other! Is Jameson good to you?" Lauren didn't want to talk too much, fearing that she would not be able to hold back her emotions, so she was desperate to end the call. "Good, very good. Alex, you don't have to worry about me." "Well, that's good!" "That's it. I still have something to do. Talk to you later. Bye!" "Bye!"
As soon as the host finished his words, the crowd began to stir. The host showed a satisfied expression and continued to say, "Before the auction begins, we'll have Young Master Tory to say a few words to us." The light suddenly dimmed, and then, when it was turned on again, there was already one more person on the stage. Tory Irving was dressed in black suit. He was so eye-catching under the spotlight. His handsome and gentle features hid his usual sharpness. He was looking even more gracious and elegant. The moment he appeared, it caused the female guests to scream in low voices. Even Lauren had to admit that he was a charming man. Tory's mellow voice came through the sound system and echoed in the large auction hall. "First of all, thank you for coming to today's charity auction. I can see your enthusiasm to take part in the charity. To be honest, I'm just using Jeromia's property to give to charity, so I'm really ashamed to be flattered by you."
Lauren lowered her eyes and looked at the hand he had stretched out. Her lips curled up into a smile. "I already know you, Young Master Tory. Your speech on stage just now was very touching." She didn't reach out her hand. Tory stiffened slightly. Then, he retracted his hand as if nothing had happened and smiled. "You flattered me, Miss Jones. I would like to thank you for your support on the charity cause. With this money, we can give those children with autism a better chance of recovery. It's a wonderful cause." Lauren raised her eyebrows. "So, isn't your contribution even greater?" "You can't say that. After all, we are in the position where it's reasonable for us to dedicate ourselves to the country and the people." Tory turned to Uri and asked, "Do you want to stay and attend the dinner party?" Uri shook her head and said, "I still have something to do tonight, so I won't attend. Do you want to stay?" Tory's eyes dimmed a litt
"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
