Hearing this, Evelyn's body couldn't help but stiffen. She suddenly thought of that night, Marty, and the embarrassing experience she had and she could not help but feel a little guilty in the bottom of her heart. However, she did not express any of her true emotions. Instead, she pouted and said coyly, "If you continue to act so frivolously, I'll ignore you!" Jeffrey leaned his head on Evelyn's shoulders and giggled. Marty had been watching Evelyn not far away. When he saw Evelyn smiling heartily, his expression also became much gentler. But all of this was swept away after he saw Jeffrey appearing behind her. He saw the intimacy between Jeffrey and Evelyn with his own eyes. Marty felt a sharp pang of jealousy welling up in his mind as he saw how close they were. Marty's eyes were red. He quickly downed a glass of wine and strode towards the two of them. Marty didn't have the time to think at this point. He let his anger get
Then, Evelyn held her head with her hand. She looked like she was about to pass out. Her eyes were full of panic. At the same time, Melodie glared at Evelyn with jealousy and hatred. However, neither Marty nor Jeffrey paid any attention to the two girls' reaction. Marty smiled evilly, like a devil who wanted to drag Jeffry into hell. Clenching his sweaty palm tightly, Jeffrey was still in a dilemma. Seeing that Jeffrey did not respond, Marty casually increased the price, "1.5 billion." All the guests present, who were paying attention to this scene, were shocked. No one had expected that Marty would hold Evelyn in such a high regard. He was willing to spend more than a billion dollars just to make her happy. But no one else would be willing to give up 1.5 billion dollars just for a beautiful woman. The price was too high. But Marty didn't care about it at all. He was a man of his words. As long as Jeffrey accepte
Marty looked at Evelyn's tearful face with a pained expression as he reached out to wipe away her tears. Evelyn shivered all of a sudden. In the end, she fought the urge to yank his hand away. What if he raised the price again? In that case, Jeffrey might really accept his offer. Evelyn thought and closed her eyes in despair. Marty quietly looked at Evelyn, looking at her thick and long eyelashes trembling slightly, watching how helpless and despair she was, looking at her weakness, and her everything. His heart suddenly softened. Marty reached out his hand and held Evelyn tightly in his arms. He coaxed her in a low voice, "It's okay. I'll be good to you." It was obvious from his tone that he had already regarded Evelyn as his girlfriend. Evelyn's shuddered. Finally, she couldn't help but push Marty away. Marty was stunned by her push. He looked at her in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?" Evelyn was so angry that her whole body wa
This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to Melodie, whose image was always pure and innocent. Nevertheless, Marty didn't care about this at all. He showed no kindness for women he didn't care about. It didn't matter to him even if Melodie was throwing a tantrum as long as she knew when to stop. He could still forgive her, as she had always been docile to him. However... Did Melodie think that he, Marty, could be slapped by anyone? He tolerated Evelyn for slapping him only because she was the love in his heart, the only woman he yearned for. Why was Melodie so arrogant? Did she think that she could escape unscathed after giving him a slap? Thinking of this, Marty felt ridiculous. But what he didn't know was that when Evelyn heard this, she shuddered in shock. It turned out that she was not his only woman... Evelyn's eyes dimmed a little, but she didn't say anything. She was in no position to dwell on that. More importantly, she
Marty was still able to keep her movements under control, but this time, he leaned closely to her ear and gasped heavily, "Don't ask anything, just come with me first!" As he said that, with fear and surprise in Evelyn's eyes, she was dragged into his car by force. Evelyn was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, whereas Marty also sat in the driver's seat. Stepping on the accelerator of the car, the speed of the car was increased to the limit. The car suddenly vroomed. Evelyn screamed with her eyes closed. "Marty, what the hell are you doing?" Marty didn't answer her question. The only thing that responded to her was the deafening sound of the car engine. Soon, Evelyn was brought to Marty's villa in the suburbs. After dragging Evelyn out of the car, Marty took her hand and strode into the villa. No matter how hard Evelyn struggled to escape, she couldn't really escape from his grip. Evelyn was enveloped by a huge sense of fear.
In order to prove his conjecture, Marty specially retrieved the surveillance video of the villa. As expected, the surveillance video showed that Evelyn left the room at around 8 o'clock this morning and then went out of the villa. That was to say, Evelyn had stayed in his room the whole night. Marty clearly remembered that he was indeed with a woman last night... Marty was very sure of that. Actually, he would be lying if he said that he wasn't over the moon. Marty had done so much for her, but he still couldn't get what he wanted and saw no glimpse of hope in attaining the same. All of this was because he felt that Evelyn didn't love him. But after the incident last night, how could he not believe that Evelyn had no feelings for him? Marty couldn't hold back his excitement at the thought of this. He suddenly thanked the person who drugged him last night. Otherwise, how could he know Evelyn's feelings for him? However, even
Marissa's heart sank when she saw Evelyn. She carefully came to Evelyn's side, for fear of waking her up. But when she walked in, Marissa was surprised to find that Evelyn's face was abnormally ruddy. Even her breathing was a little rapid and hot. Marissa's heart skipped a beat. She immediately put her hand on Evelyn's forehead. As she expected, Evelyn had a fever. It was definitely not a mild fever, judging from her touch just now. "Evelyn, Evelyn, wake up." Marissa hurriedly nudged Evelyn. Although there was a little anxiety in her tone, it was not too loud. She was afraid that if she woke up Evelyn suddenly, she would be jolted awake from the nightmare. Yes, nightmare. At this time, tears were welling up in the corners of Evelyn's eyes, her eyebrows were furrowed, and her expression was painful. Obviously, she was bothered by something. Marissa didn't know what had happened to her, but to her knowledge of Evelyn, Eve
Evelyn nodded weakly. She was no longer as serious and energetic as she was. Lying on the bed, Evelyn felt her whole body heating up. She knew that she was the type of person who would fall sick easily until she remembered what she had done yesterday. After taking a cold shower for such a long time, she didn't even dry her hair and went straight to the bed. It was only logical that she had caught a cold. But she could not say that what she did last night was wrong. After all, she was really in bad shape last night. Thinking of this, Evelyn felt a little dizzy. In a fog, she closed her eyes and was ready to go to sleep. After god-knows-how-long, Evelyn finally managed to recover her energy and woke up. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find Marty by the bed as well. Next to him was Marissa, who seemed to be embarrassed. "Marissa, why is he here?" Evelyn frowned. Her voice was hoarse, with a hint of dissatisf
"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
