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
Her heavy footsteps were as if a hammer was steadily hitting on one's heart. It was not painful, but one could feel her darkness and sorrow. As soon as Emmeline disappeared into her bedroom, the door of the study was quietly opened. With a cup in his hand, Jara happened to see her door being closed up, Then, he raised his eyebrows. Suddenly, a man was heard laughing at Jara through his earpiece. "Boss, Ma'am has already taken the initiative to come to you in the middle of the night. Why didn't you show some love?" The man was teasing him over the earpiece. Meanwhile, Jara's lips were pressed into a thin line, as the scene two minutes ago appeared in this mind, where Emmeline was in her maroon-colored pajamas, lazily leaning against the door of his study. Then, his eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "It seems like you're pretty free recently. Should I call Sumo here to train with you?" "Ah! No, no!" Immediately, the man took back his words. "Bo
In the living room of the main building. Jara had already changed his clothes and was waiting there. Today, he wore a white casual outfit. Without his usual solemn temperament, he looked bright and handsome as if he had time-traveled back to his college years. Sitting next to him was a man who looked ruffled, leaning on the sofa and eating grapes. "Say, Jara, did you suddenly change your personality? Didn't you say that you will never wait for a woman? Now, which beauty are you waiting for today?" Isaac had arrived since early in the morning, so he had been sitting there for a while. In the meantime, Jara was browsing through the news on his iPad when he gave Isaac a look. His expression was as cold as ice. "If you're impatient, you can leave first." When Isaac heard the response, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly added. "Hey, don't take it seriously. I'm just joking with you." As he spoke, his body relaxed and
Along with Kayla, Jara got into the Rolls-Royce. On the other hand, Emmeline was standing there for a few seconds before Isaac caught up behind. He was a shrewd and sharp-witted person, so when he saw Jara and Kayla getting into the first car, he couldn't bear to see Emmeline feeling awkward. Immediately, he walked up to her with a smile and said, "Miss Illington, if you don't mind, can I take a car with you?" While Emmeline didn't present any expression on her face, she opened the door of the Lexus and stepped into the car. At the same time, she replied, "Whatever." Again, Isaac was stumped. He felt as if Jara and Emmeline were a couple in a quarrel, and he was sandwiched in the middle, acting as a punching bag. But as he thought of the immense feud between them, he shook his head and didn't bother too much about it. Instead, he walked over to the other side and got into the car. The golf course was not far away from the castle and it w
Being pushed back by the force, Jara failed to hit the ball. Right away, Emmeline took the most advantageous position and prepared to swing when all of a sudden, her club was entangled with Jara's club. At that moment, it was as if her arm was pulled by a huge force, raising in the air, and once again, she lost her chance. Now, Emmeline became a little angry. At this point, the two of them had a good understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses, so they did not dare to act rashly again. Slightly bending her body, Emmeline glared at Jara who was also in the same posture on alert. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're definitely going to lose today!" Hearing that, Jara sneered, "You're so confident?" "Of course!" As soon as she finished her words, she moved her right arm and suddenly went right under his armpit. Immediately, Jara narrowed his eyes, but before he could react, she had already grasped his club in her hand. Following tha
In the end, he lowered his head embarrassedly and said, "Okay, but as a friend, I still don't want any of you to be injured. Four years ago, I stood by him because of the situation, not because I had any malice against you. Emmeline, I hope you can understand." Upon hearing that, Emmeline didn't say anything. She looked incredibly calm, but in fact, there was a slight fluctuation in the depths of her eyes. Then, she answered in a low voice, "It's all in the past." That was right, it was all in the past! She could ignore those injuries she had suffered; she could forget all the pain she had endured, and she could forgive all those who had betrayed her. But there was only one thing that she could not ignore, forget, nor forgive. It was her subordinates who had died because of her. They knew the relationship between her and Jara, but they were still willing to believe her and the promises she made; they were willing to believe that she would not b
"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
