"Now, once there is a loss of balance, not only the Lost Vanguard but also the Hampden family will suffer losses. Therefore, I really want to find out who is behind this and find out the murderer. But unfortunately, I haven't found out much." Anderson frowned when he heard that. "Even you couldn't find it out?" Speaking of this, Harrison's expression darkened slightly. "Yes, there will always be someone better than you in this world. For the past few years, I've always thought although our family does not have a monopoly on this territory, we do have a control over it to a certain extent which could not be underestimated. But I didn't expect..." He sighed. Since Harrison had said so, no one doubted him. They looked at each other, and then Anderson said, "Well, you will take charge in this matter. Please update us, if there is any news." Harrison nodded his head. He suddenly looked at Clarissa and smiled. "Now that you're done with y
"It's getting late. We should go." Harrison also stood up and suggested, "Since we are all here today, why don't we have a meal together?" Clarissa refused coldly, "No need, we still have something on." Then, she took the lead and walked out of the room. Her attitude was obviously a little repulsive. Harrison touched his nose, feeling a little disappointed. Anderson glanced at him and did not say anything. They had known each other for quite a long time, therefore, they could reach a tacit understanding at a glance. Harrison smiled and said, "I would have to trouble you to help me to persuade her. Clarissa hates me, but she will listen to you." Anderson pondered for a moment and said, "I will do my best, but I will also respect her decision. No matter what her final decision is, I will not interfere with it." He was effectively turning down Harrison's request without expressly saying so. Harrison had no choice but to nod his head a
Clarissa nodded and looked in the direction of the ward. "How is grandpa?" When it came to this, Gimmy's face instantly became sombre. He sighed. "He doesn't have much time left. You should go in and have a look. Remember to make a long story short." Clarissa nodded. She stepped into the ward. Anderson, Jameson, and the others were waiting outside the door. They did not follow Clarissa into the ward. They knew that at this time, the only person Old Master Levine wanted to see was Clarissa. Therefore, the others had better not disturb them. Clarissa put on her hazmat suit and walked in alone. On the bed, Old Master Levine, who was on the verge of his death, was lying there with his eyes slightly closed. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at her with difficulty. Clarissa stopped in her tracks. She had told herself to be strong, but when she saw Old Master Levine lying there, she co
As Old Master Levine's descendants, Gimmy and others could only follow his will. But despite the simplicity of the funeral, they had been busy with it for a long time. Clarissa didn't attend the Old Master Levine's body donation ceremony. She felt that it was a punishment for the living. After returning home in the evening, she locked herself in the room alone without having dinner. Clarissa was sitting on the big balcony. It would be the new year in two months' time. During the winter in Flaucford, the sky was especially clear. At night, the sky was filled with stars, twinkling in the dark velvet dome. At some point, Anderson had walked behind her. She knew that it was him without turning her head. "Everyone said that after a person dies, he or she will become one of the stars in the sky and always protect the person he wishes to protect. Do you think it's true?" She asked. Anderson who was standing behind her didn't make any response. After a
Following that was an even hotter kiss. They were being peppered on her collarbones and her chest. Clarissa was still in a daze. She vaguely felt that Anderson was acting a little strange today, but she didn't have much time to think about it. After god-knows-how-long, the love affair finally came to an end. Lying in Anderson's embrace, Clarissa was so tired that she couldn't even lift a finger. There was also a thin layer of sweat covering all over her body. At this moment, lying in his strong arms, she slightly raised her eyes and gave him a look. She said discontentedly, "You are not allowed to be in heat during the day in the future." Anderson let out a soft laugh. His slightly calloused fingers caressed her lips as he gently pressed them against hers. His voice was low and hoarse. "Are you destroying the bridge right after you crossed the river? I'm not the only one who was enjoying it just now." His low, magnetic voice made Clarissa's fa
Charmaine showed a gentle and generous smile and said, "I went to see Old Madam Jordan yesterday. I heard that Clarissa was pregnant, so I came specially to see her. Hey? Where is she?" At the mention of Clarissa, the tension in Anderson's eyes eased a little. He said in a gentle voice, "She's upstairs. She'll be coming down soon." "Well, can I go up and see her?" Anderson's gaze paused for a moment. His gaze swept across her delicate and innocent face before rejecting her. "No, that's not necessary. She doesn't like to have outsiders to go up there." As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell silent for a moment. Outsiders... With just a few simple words, Anderson managed to push her away and embarrass her like never before. However, he didn't notice it at all. Charmaine's smile froze for a moment, before she regained her composure. "Well, then I'll wait for her here." Anderson didn't answer her. He turned a
Clarissa was a little helpless. She sat there and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. It was not that she hadn't seen anyone who tried to butter up to her before... but she had never seen someone who had tried so hard... It was really... Lifting her hand to rub her forehead, Clarissa didn't say anything. It didn't take long before Charmaine came out of the kitchen with the soup. "Clarissa, this is specially prepared for you. It is a soup that supplies you with all the necessary nourishment. It is very good for strengthening your health. It is most suitable for pregnant women." Clarissa looked at the bowl of soup in front of her. It was colorful, with a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste. It looked really delicious. She smiled at Charmaine and said, "Thank you. Thank you for your hard work." "You're welcome. It's what I should do." Looking at how hard Charmaine was trying to be close with her, Clarissa curled h
The atmosphere on the table was silent. Clarissa had been quietly eating, with no expression on her face. After a while, she put down the cutlery and said nonchalantly, "I'm full. Please enjoy yourselves." After that, she got up and prepared to leave. However, someone suddenly grabbed her hand. Anderson also put down his cutlery and said, "We'll leave together." Clarissa raised her eyebrows. Charmaine was seated across from them. She had been busy taking care of them, so she hadn't had time to eat. At this time, the two hosts both left their seats, so she felt a little awkward. She didn't know whether she should continue eating or not. Clarissa smiled and said, "Charmaine, I'm sorry. You've been so busy making lunch for us for such a long time and haven't had time to eat. I get tired very easily after I'm pregnant, so I let Anderson accompany me to rest first. You don't mind being here alone, do you?" Charmaine forced a smile and replied,
"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
