Instantly, the coldness in Jara's eyes grew even more intense. Then, he rebuked coldly, "Are you threatening me?" Hearing that, Emmeline sighed. Shaking her head, she walked to his side. "Oh my god, how can you say that? I'm just analyzing the pros and cons for you. If you refuse to cooperate with me, that's fine. I heard that the Sapphire family was also eyeing this map recently. They must be very interested!" "Since you turn down this opportunity, I'll find them. After all, I've met Seven several times, and I like her a lot." "I heard that she's from the Sapphire family, and after all, we are close. So, instead of giving someone else, I think it's better to give goodies like this to the people I like." "Yeap, I think this is the best way. With that, I can finally reminisce about the old days with her. Anyhow, I really miss her after not seeing her for a few years." The more she spoke, the darker Jara's face became. Finally, when she fin
After hesitating for a moment, Emmeline explained, "I went outside the city today." Upon hearing this, Keira was stunned. Confused, she asked, "What were you doing outside the city?" Emmeline didn't want Keira to know about everything, so she chose not to tell the truth. Therefore, she answered perfunctorily, "I was there to do something." After that, she immediately changed the subject. "If you are free for the next few days, we should hang out together. I'm thinking of buying two sets of clothes tomorrow, and I'll pay you back two days later." Hearing Emmeline's words, Keira nodded. "Sure! Actually, I have asked for leave to accompany you these two days. As for the money, you may use it first, and we'll talk about it later." In fact, Keira knew that Emmeline didn't have much money now, and she wouldn't tell everything. On the other hand, Emmeline knew what Keira was thinking, but at this moment, explaining couldn't help much, so she cou
In Jara's arms, there was a gorgeous woman who wore a wine-red dress with a slit opened up to her thigh. With one slight move, what was underneath her dress could be easily exposed. At that moment, she was snuggling up in Jara's arms. In fact, she had a deep cleavage. As long as it was a normal man, he would probably not be able to refrain from groping her breasts. As for Jara, he was leaning leisurely, with one hand placing on her waist and the other propping his head, looking like a hooligan. Meanwhile, the sudden arrival of Emmeline had ruined the amorous atmosphere between the two of them. With his eyes narrowed, Jara looked up at Emmeline. Despite being disturbed, he didn't show a single hint of annoyance. On the contrary, the woman exclaimed and quickly covered her high slit. "Who are you? How can you barge in just like that? Don't you know that we're busy?" Busy? Busy with what? Having sex? As Emmeline was thinki
Thus, he didn't have to inform Jara of such a matter. Uncle Poick went straight to his study and transferred one hundred thousand dollars from the castle's business account to a bank card. Then, he took the bank card and went to find Emmeline. Unfortunately, the moment he left the tower, he bumped into Kayla, who had just returned from the main building. Basically, this castle was huge. Aside from the main building, it had four more towers. Jara lived in the main building while Kayla lived in Tower B. As for the remaining three towers, they were all empty. Initially, when Emmeline came over, Uncle Poick thought that Jara would arrange for her to stay in one of the empty towers. However, Jara let her stay in the same building as Kayla. Besides, he even said that there were not many servants in the castle. So, if she stayed too far, it would be inconvenient to take care of her. Actually, Uncle Poick knew very well that there were dozens of servan
Raya was puzzled. Although she didn't want to admit it, she agreed that both of Mrs. Holland's sons were indeed not as good as Jara. So, after hesitating for a while, she finally told the truth, "No... they can't." Hearing that, Mrs. Holland chuckled nonchalantly. Then, she sighed, "You are right. They can't win against Jara. Besides, Claus is not young anymore, and everyone knows that Jara will eventually take over the Holland family in the future. As his stepmother, I never raised him, nor did I live with him. I'm sure that his only affection toward me is even lesser than a random servant here." "So if one day, Claus dies of old age, how will my sons and I spend the rest of our lives?" Upon hearing Mrs. Holland's words, Raya was bewildered. With that, she realized that she had only judged a situation from the surface and was dissatisfied with Jara's attitude toward Mrs. Holland. She should've thought deeper about it. Once again, Mrs. Ho
Since the food and accommodation were covered, and she didn't need to spend at all, so it was only reasonable to hand her the money to act as an investment. It was only then that Keira was relieved from her doubts and worries as she took the money with peace of mind. After that, Emmeline didn't stay at her place for long before she left. When she came back, she found a strange car parked outside. Raising her eyebrows, she got out of the car, and right away, she heard a woman roaring before even entering the house. "Who allowed you to let her in? She was banned from stepping into the Holland Residence a long time ago. Don't you know that?" Hearing that the woman was roaring in undisguised anger, Emmeline turned to look at Uncle Poick, who was standing next to her respectfully and quietly. However, she noticed he had his head down as if he had not heard anything. A sudden look of understanding flashed across her eyes as Emmeline squinted and th
Just when everyone thought that today's scene would end with Emmeline being thrown out mercilessly by the Holland family, suddenly, a cold and mellow voice was heard coming from the door. "What are you doing?" A tall and slender figure came in sight along with a clear and crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on the marble floor. As the man stood by the door against the light, everyone in the living room couldn't have a good look at his face clearly, but from his deep voice, they could tell that he was a little unhappy. The presence of the man was like a pebble that suddenly fell into the bottom of the lake, immediately stirring up ripples in everyone's heart. Only, the ripples were of different intensities. In an instant, Mrs. Holland's face turned pale while Raya's hand froze in mid-air; the other servants and Uncle Poick had their heads lowered. However, Uncle Poick shifted his hands that were previously clasped in front of his body respectfully, signa
In fact, when Emmeline and Jara were still getting along back then, she already knew that there were guards nearby. It was just that at that time, they were guarding openly, but now they were doing it in secret It was obvious that Jara had significantly raised the level of security in the castle. As a professional killer, she was used to getting familiar with her surroundings in the first place. However, she hadn't put too much thought into the presence of the guards. After all, Jara's identity was special. Furthermore, the Holland family was very rich! The riches were usually afraid to die. So surely they ought to hire a few people who were actually capable of protecting them every day, lest someone lost their minds and decided to rob them with guns and cannons one day. There were many psychotic people in this world who despised the rich. Although that was the case, Emmeline still kept an eye on them. Taking advantage of a dark and windy night, s
"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
