"Most likely, the Jordan family would suggest that you cooperate with the law enforcement with the investigation and handle it impartially. However, your hands are probably not clean. Even if you are framed by others this time, you must have done a lot of hanky-panky in the past." "If you cooperate with the law enforcement, whatever funny business that you've done in the past will definitely come to light. At that time, your family may find yourself jumping out of the frying pan into the fire and that will be the end for you." "So, you wouldn't dare to find Old Madam Jordan for help, but you also can't be sure if we will help you or not, so you decided to take a shot at Anderson." "Everyone knows that the relationship between Anderson and me is harmonious. If something happens between you and him, even if it's to stop you from spilling the beans, he will still help you to handle this matter." "Perhaps you can use this as evidence against him in the future, and a
Anderson analyzed the situation with Old Madam Jordan on the phone again. Although he said that he would not help the Cole Family, he still had to investigate the matter. After all, Anderson's mother was an immediate relative of the Cole Family. Although she had passed away, the relationship was still there. In case the matter was revealed, they would be affected as well. After hanging up the phone, Anderson's gaze fell back on Clarissa again. He bent over to kiss her on the lips and murmured, "I'm going out in the afternoon. You have a good rest at home. Call me if you need anything. Okay?" Clarissa nodded. After a pause, she was still worried about him, so she said, "Be careful." Anderson smiled and did not say anything. He turned around and left. It was almost evening when Clarissa received a call. Anderson told her that he had found out what happened to the Cole family. It was true that they were not the one who planted something in
Clarissa's face turned red. She tucked the hair behind her ear and smiled sheepishly. "Well... I don't think it's realistic for us to be together eternally, but since you're so sincere, I guess I'll have to promise you first." Anderson curved the corners of his mouth, smiling so big with his eyes. "Well, thank you for your help, Mrs. Jordan." He held her hand and pulled her into an embrace. He gently placed his chin on her head and lowered his head to kiss her forehead again. "I love you, Clarissa." Clarissa reached out to put her arms around his waist. There was constant joyful chattering from the tourists around her, but her heart was warm and calm because of his warm embrace. After they had floated the water lanterns, they walked around the nearby area. When they were ready to go back, it was already twelve o'clock at night. Because it was too late, Anne was still a child after all, hence it was way past her bedtime. So an hour ago, O
Anderson's expression, however, was still very sombre. He didn't answer, nor did he speak. Clarissa curled her lips in grievance. "You're the one who failed to protect me, yet you're still mad at me?" Anderson's eyebrows twitched. A moment later, he said coldly, "It was my fault that I shouldn't have let you wait there alone, but you shouldn't have insisted on saving him." Clarissa choked. She explained patiently, "His combat skill is good. You see, even if he is seriously injured, I was not a match for him at all just now. Don't you want to know who such a powerful person is?"" Anderson slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, as his gaze swept across the person lying in the back seat from the rearview mirror. His slightly open collar was stained with blood, and he had a deep-set of eyes. "Anderson, let's help him, okay? Please." Anderson's gaze fell back on her again as the expression of his face darkened slightly.
Naturally, he remembered who Clarissa was. He sized her up before he took a glance at Anderson's face. "Did you save me?" "Yes, we can't just leave you to die seeing how bad your condition was. We don't know who you are, so we dare not to send you to the hospital. Fortunately, there were just flesh wounds and there should be no big problem after they are being tended to." As Clarissa spoke, something came to her mind as she asked Anderson beside her. "He didn't have a fever last night, did he?" Anderson said indifferently, "No." "That's good. It seems that the medicine he took yesterday is still quite effective." The other side looked at them as they exchanged a few words. His gazed deepened as he saw Anderson and Clarissa seemed to be interacting intimately with each other. "Thank you for helping me. I'm sorry for." As he spoke, he took a bow in front of her. Clarissa smiled and said, "You're welcome. What happened last night
After the ceremony, it was time for the banquet. Although the ceremony was relatively simple, just from the banquet alone, one could tell that the Jordan Family really had put their heart and soul into it. If they couldn't make the wedding ceremony grand and high-key, they would spend efforts in something else. The dishes at the banquet were exquisite and looked appetizing with the perfect combination of color, aroma and taste. Obviously, it was not something that one usually saw. They later learned that it was prepared by the state banquet chef that the Old Madam Jordan had specially hired. Therefore, it was no surprise that it turned out to be perfect. Since the chef was willing to cook for such a small ceremony, one could easily tell that he had spared no effort in preparing for the banquet. After the wedding banquet, Old Madam Jordan then arranged for everyone to leave. Clarissa and Anderson's bridal chamber was still at the Starbay Villa.
"It really is it. I can't believe that it is actually in your possession. It has gone missing for so many years . Is it real?" Obviously, Old Master Jordan recognized what was in the box.He was so excited that his face was flushing. He gently touched the box with his hand, and then his body trembled slightly." Harrison didn't say a word as he stood by the side and watched with a smile. Seeing how excited Old Master Jordan was, Clarissa asked curiously, "Grandpa, do you know what is it?" Old Master Jordan nodded. Then his facial expression changed slightly. "You're right. It's too expensive. We can't accept it." He straightened his back and turned to look at Harrison. The excitement on his face had subsided as his gaze turned sharp. "Tell me! What is your purpose of bringing this here today?" Harrison smiled and picked up his cup to take a sip of tea. He then said slowly, "That's a strange question. My niece is getting married
As Clarissa looked at the lights in the distance, her mind was in a trance. Anderson noticed that something was wrong with her and asked, "What's wrong? What's on your mind?" Clarissa came to herself before she shook her head with a smile. "Nothing. I just remembered that Harrison came to me over and over just to talk me into admitting my identity as a descendant of the Hampden family, but I refused him every time. Moreover, I won't even accept the jade disk he gave to me, even though he had told me that it is my father's relic because I didn't want to have anything to do with the Hampden family. Isn't it a little too heartless of me to do this?" Anderson looked at her in surprise. Clarissa smiled and said, "Do you feel surprised that this is what I thought?" Anderson didn't hide anything and nodded his head honestly. "You hated them very much before, so... it was quite unexpected." Clarissa let out a sigh. A gentle smile appe
