Sneering, Forbos replied, "Of course, I like the most valuable item. Do you really think I'm collecting it for fun?" With a smile, Evelyn said, "Well, it's very simple. Things like jade pendants, or paintings are quite valuable, and it's easy to carry. You can have a look by then." Suddenly, Forbos felt that today's Evelyn was a little strange. She was being too obedient. She was obedient that it made him feel slightly unreal. But it was also true that because of the current situation, Evelyn might not dare to disobey him. However, she was so active in telling him where her collection was, and even invited him to take it. She also asked him what he preferred and suggested he should take something lighter. She must be out of her mind! Looking at Evelyn again, Forbos had become more suspicious. However, it seemed that Evelyn didn't notice it at all. She was so focused on driving, as if she was just giving a casual suggestion and did
No matter what he chose, it was equivalent to losing his long-term moneymaker—Evelyn. So, if Forbos had the choice, he certainly would not choose either of them. To maintain the current status and to get some money from Evelyn from time to time was actually the most advantageous way for him. However, those people were very tough. If he didn't do as they say, they might kill him on the spot. Those people had a strong background. He couldn't afford to offend them, so he could only do as he was told. However, when he was in the factory in the afternoon, and heard from Evelyn that there were a lot of jewelry and antiques at her home, he was attracted to it at once. With so much money, how wonderful would it be if he was to have it all to himself? Back then, he was afraid to offend those people who bullied him and asked him to return the money, as he was penniless and powerless. But with such a large sum of money, they wouldn't be afraid of
How much would he get from selling so many things? The set of jewelry alone was worth tens of millions of dollars, and not to mention that there were so many calligraphy paintings here. There might be several billion here! He really made a fortune, really made a fortune! As he realized the enormous surprises and wealth, Forbos was so excited that his face turned red. Evelyn, on the other hand, was tied up in the bedroom, and she could not move her hands and feet. Only the sound of Forbos scavenging over the boxes and cabinets could be heard in another room. There was a hanging clock on the wall, ticking away. She looked up feebly, and it had been four minutes since she entered the house. Although there were a lot of things, they were all placed neatly, so it was not difficult to pack them up. A few minutes was enough! Therefore, he might not be able to make it in time. Even when she had put in so much effort and think of every pos
At the moment, Marty had no idea that Forbos had killed so many people, as he thought Evelyn was scared because she had been kidnapped. Hence, with a nod, he reached out to hold her hand to comfort her. Then, he turned to Aria and ordered coldly, "Take him away and call the police. When they arrive, ask them to lock him up first and I will deal with everything later." Upon hearing the order, Aria nodded. "Yes." With that, he escorted the group of people away. While being escorted away, Forbos wanted to say something, but Aria immediately stuffed his mouth so he couldn't speak. As Marty looked back at Evelyn again, he asked with concern, "How do you feel now? Is there any injury on your body?" Hearing that, Evelyn shook her head. "I'm fine. He didn't hurt me." Except for the discomfort caused by her hands and feet being tied up for a long time, she was not injured at all. After knowing she was fine, Marty was relieved and ord
After Marty left, Evelyn went to take a bath. When she came out of the shower, Carrie had already prepared the food for her. After suffering for over a day, in truth, she was completely exhausted both physically and mentally, and she had no energy to do anything. Because Marty had thought of that, he told her to rest at home while he went to find out more about the situation. Everything should wait until tomorrow after she had a good rest. Indeed, Evelyn was hungry at that moment. When she saw the delicious food, she picked up her chopsticks without hesitation and began to eat. When Carrie knew that she had returned safely, she was very happy. So during dinner, Carrie kept talking to her, trying to help relieve the boredom. At this moment, Carrie's cell phone rang suddenly. Evelyn's cell phone had been taken away by Forbos, and when they caught him, they hadn't had time to find it, so she didn't have a phone with her now. Tak
"Evelyn, how are you? Are you alright?" As soon as Jeffrey was released, he immediately ran to Evelyn. Knitting her brows slightly, she took a step back subconsciously when it came to facing Jeffrey's enthusiasm. In an instant, Jeffrey's hands, which were about were about to reach out to hug her, were left hanging in the air. Looking at him, Evelyn pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Upon hearing her alienated tone, it made Jeffrey's body stiffen a little. As if realizing something, he slowly put his hands down, and after a moment, he forced a smile. "It's good to know that you're alright. I was just worried about you, so I came over to check on you." Hearing that, Evelyn nodded. Then, they stopped talking. The atmosphere was very awkward. They used to be good friends who talked to each other about everything, but now they had nothing to talk about anymore. Even though she had so ma
The atmosphere in the car fell into silence. And no one spoke again. When the car stopped in front of the Lavender villa, Evelyn was about to ask Marty to get off the car, but she turned her head and realized that Marty's head was leaning against the car window. Somehow, he had already fallen asleep. Slightly stunned and surprised, she looked at the faint dark circles under his eyes, and felt sorry. Meanwhile, the driver didn't know that Marty was asleep, so he wanted to call him, but was stopped by Evelyn. Putting a finger to her lips, she shushed him. Seeing this, the driver quickly covered his mouth. Then, Evelyn shoved a pillow gently under his head, and asked the driver to bring her a clean shirt to put it over his body. After that, she got out of the car and said to the driver, "Let him sleep for a while. Don't disturb him." The driver glanced at Evelyn, then looked at Marty, who fast asleep in the car, and felt helpless.
Pursing her lips, Evelyn comforted. "This has nothing to do with you, mom. There are so many douchebags in this world. We can't expect ourselves to be lucky all the time and not meet any of them, right? Furthermore, now that he has been arrested, it will not happen again. Don't blame yourself any more." Only then did her mother respond with a peace of mind. Then, Evelyn hung up the phone after telling her what she should look out for when signing the divorce agreement. At nine o'clock in the evening, Marty came back. Meanwhile, Evelyn was sending away Carrie, who had come to deliver some things. Before she entered the house, she noticed a familiar car approaching. So she came to a halt and waited for the car to approach her, after which she curled her lips slightly. When Marty got out of the car, Aria was following behind. Besides, Aria brought over a suitcase. Afterward, Marty explained, "I heard from Carrie that she was going to bring
"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
