As she said that, she swung the whip fiercely in the air. A crisp sound sounded and Lola was startled. Maybe she was really scared, and maybe she was nervous, but she actually stuttered and forgot the lines. "If you dare hurt them, I..." She forgot what to say next. Lola's face was a little pale, and Freddie frowned in the audience seat. Lara's looked a little unhappy. She had spent a lot of effort to persuade Freddie to let Lola play the role. But they had a contender, and Lola let her down! The reason why she helped Lola was not because she waned to treat her well. It was just because she had been working in the entertainment circle alone all these years, and she was more or less isolated and helpless. Lola was not only her cousin, but she also signed with her studio. Even if Lola became famous, she was under her control. Moreover, Lola was able to deal with many things that she was inconvenient to do. To Lara, Lola was a re
Lara's face was slightly stiff. If she said no, she would be regarded as narrow-minded. Fortunately, she had been acting for so many years, but Clarissa had never acted before, so she thought that Clarissa knew nothing about acting. "Since she wants to invite humiliation, I'll fulfill her wish." Thinking of this, Lara smiled with confidence. "Alright!" Seeing this, Freddie also agreed. He sat back behind the camera and felt a little expectant in his heart. Although he had chosen Lara to play Ava, in fact, Lara was not the perfect candidate in his mind. However, there was no better choice, so he could only make such an arrangement for the time being. As for Clarissa, when he first met her, he was amazed by her beauty. She had calm and unemotional temperament, and she could make people feel scared just by frowning slightly. In his mind, she was just like Ava. However, Clarissa was not an actress, and he had never he
"I did it! But why? Why do you have to destroy my happiness again?" "Do you know how hard it was to become the empress? Do you know how much I have suffered to become the empress dowager?" "Now I'm the most powerful person in this country and I don't need to be looked down upon anymore. Why can't you let me enjoy such a life longer?" Myra was crying and roaring, and tears ran down her face. Ava didn't say anything. She looked at Myra she used to dote on the most and suddenly smiled. "You said that no one likes you? When you were a child, you stole father's jade fan. Who took the blame for you?" "When you fell into the pool at the age of ten, you almost drowned. Who risked her life to save you?" "At the age of fifteen, we were escorted to this country together..." Ava's voice suddenly became a little choked, as if she thought of some extremely unbearable things. Her beautiful and cold eyes were bloodshot, and there were disappo
She thought, "No way!" "This play needs the investment of 400 million dollars! How can he let Clarissa play the leading role? She has no experience in acting!" "Freddie won't do it unless he is crazy!" Lara thought that it was possible. Although Clarissa's performance just now was really good, she thought that it was all because of her. So, she didn't think much. Instead, she said to Freddie in a coquettish tone, "Director Jordan, you keep praising Clarissa and forget me." It was only then that Freddie noticed her. He smiled and said, "Your performance is also good. Oh, what's wrong with your face?" Seeing that he finally noticed her face, Lara forced a smile. "Nothing. Clarissa slapped me just now. I'm... fine." Clarissa looked at her and said with a smile, "I'm sorry. I was too immersed in my acting just now and I slapped you by accident. But in fact, what I did made you generate real empathy better. Lara, am I right?" Clari
Anderson leaned back in his chair and looked at him with a faint smile. "I remember I said that I'm only responsible for investing, and I won't participate in specific choosing actors and shooting." Freddie smiled awkwardly. "I know. But the situation... is special now!" He swallowed, because he was not confidence enough. Anderson let out a lazy laugh. "Oh? Why is it a special situation?" "What I'm thinking now is that since Clarissa is so suitable for playing Ava, we can let her play this role. If Lara is willing, she can play Myra. But in this way, she may withdraw her investment, so..." He smiled awkwardly, and Anderson understood what he meant. He raised his eyebrows. "You want me to invest more money?" Freddie nodded. "Alright!" Anderson pulled open the desk drawer and took out a check. He wrote a few words on it. Then, he put the check in front of Freddie. "I can invest another 50 million do
The servants were all very happy. They thought, "Mr. Jordan and Mrs. Jordan are both good-looking, their child must be very cute!" Clarissa didn't know what they were thinking about. She was thinking about how to mention this matter to Anderson when he returned. At 6:30 p.m., the black Rolls-Royce drove into the yard, and Anderson came back. The servants had already served the dishes on the table. Clarissa changed her clothes and sat at the table obediently, waiting for him. It was the first time Anderson had seen her so obedient. He was a little surprised. When he glanced at the dishes, he found that two of them seemed to be different from before keenly. But he didn't say anything, pretending that he didn't see it. Clarissa greeted him with a smile, "You're back! Sit down and eat!" Anderson nodded. He took the hot towel handed over by the servant and wiped his hands before sitting down. The first dish he ate was stewed
Clarissa was shocked and finally came to sense. She couldn't believe that under the temptation of Anderson, she was actually obsessed with him and kissed him in such an extremely ambiguous and dangerous position! She let out a cry of surprise and wanted to stand up. However, the chair that Anderson was sitting on was very close to his desk. She stood up suddenly, and her waist suddenly hit the corner of the table. She screamed in pain and sat back heavily. Anderson was so worried. He held her in a hurry and reached out to rub the place where she got hurt just now. "Why are you so careless? Does it hurt? Let me have a look." Anderson's big hand was on her waist. She only wore a thin clothes and she could feel the the hot temperature of his palm. Her body became tense instantly. He wanted to check her injury, but she pressed his hand and shook her head. Her eyes glistened with tears because of pain, but she gritted her teeth and
The next day, Clarissa went straight to Energence International Crop. After signing a series of contracts, Starlight really became the cooperative partner of Energence International Crop. Although the top managers in Energence International Crop were all surprised, they didn't dare say anything because it was Anderson's order. After signing the contracts, David took Clarissa to the public relations department and directly announced her identity as the director of the department. In the past two years, Clarissa had a good reputation for herself in Twilight. Even if she kept low profile, most of her peers knew her and approved her ability. When they learned that Anderson actually hired her, they were very happy. Some seniors thought that they could finally have a chance become the director of the department, but they didn't expect that Clarissa would suddenly come, and they felt that she took over their own position. They were a little sati
"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
