The rest of the treasure was all hidden on a map. This map had been kept by Jara for a long time, and he was unable to decipher the code. Coincidentally, when Emmeline was in prison, she managed to figure out something, and that was how she won the opportunity to cooperate with him. At the moment, both of them were silent. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was as silent as grave. After a while, Jara said, "Once the news of the Jade of Heaven broke out, the Salvation Club and the Lost Vanguard, as the two major organizations locally, immediately got into a fight to obtain the treasure. When the two sides were in a tussle, all of a sudden, the deepest secrets of each party were leaked out." "I admit that I used you at that time, but if I didn't do that, the fight had already begun and we would have all died!" "In truth, which party benefited from the tussle? Even though we have won the fight against the Salvation Club, we were severely weakened. Later, the L
Seeing that she was silent, he raised his head and glanced at her. Emmeline pursed her lips, and after a while, she said, "I've made up my mind." Hearing that, Jara didn't change his expression, but a dim light flickered in the depths of his eyes. "What's your decision?" Then, Emmeline said in a low voice, "I admit that four years ago, we were indeed deceived, but you ignored my plea and killed my people. Those were the facts. I can't pretend that it didn't happen." When her words came out, Jara's face darkened. "So, does that mean you have to go against me?" Hearing that, Emmeline was silent for a moment and continued, "In the past, I always thought that when I was released, I must take revenge on you, so that I could live up to their deaths." "But now, I know that everything was fuelled by their greed. It happened because some people had already given up the Salvation Club long ago, and turned to the Icarus Association." "For tha
The only one left was Emmeline. Therefore, Kayla came to her directly without a second thought. But judging from how Emmeline looked now, she was not at all frighten to let Kayla search her room. Did she really not take it? In the meantime, Kayla's thoughts were all over the place. However, since she was already here, she didn't want to waste making the trip for nothing. So she braced himself and said, "I'm searching! Humph." After that, she went into the room with her maid Millay. Throughout the process, the two of them rummaged in the room, and Emmeline sat on the sofa without even looking at them. On the contrary, when Yunne, her personal maid, walked in to bring Emmeline a cup of tea and saw the scene, her eyes widened in shock. "Miss Illington, w—what are they doing?" Seeing that, Yunne was a little anxious. However, Emmeline remained as still as a mountain when she replied in a low voice, "Yunne, don't stop them. Let
As she spoke, the blade moved from Kayla's ears to her neck. The cold blade made her tremble vigorously and she was about to cry. "Emmeline, y—you. If you have something to say, let's talk nicely..." No matter how bold and reckless Kayla was, after all, she was just a pampered young lady who had been raised in a wealthy family since young. She had never been threatened by someone with a knife like this before. Therefore, as soon as she felt the cold blade moving across her skin, she completely gave in. However, Emmeline did not intend to let her go that easily. Her eyes darkened as she continued, "By the way, you don't know what I used to do, do you?" In response, Kayla shook her head, "No, I don't." "Why don't... you make a guess? If you can guess it right, I'll let you go." When Kayla heard this, she was secretly cursing her for being a crazy woman. Nevertheless, she was afraid to say anything and could only muster the courage t
Emmeline didn't think of herself as someone kind-hearted, and she certainly didn't have a good temper. For the first few rounds of provocations, she was williing to dismiss them. Previously, when they were at the golf course, Kayla had deliberately come to look for trouble and splashed water all over her face. Since she gave her a slap in return, she thought they were even. So in general, Kayla actually didn't take any advantage of her. But even so, when facing someone as annoying as Kayla, Emmeline had lost her patience. She disliked this kind of conflict, especially the intrigue between women. Although with her abilities, she was definitely able to handle it. However, she was only annoyed and tired, not wanting to deal with it. For this reason, it was better to give her a lesson and scare her away, so she wouldn't dare to provoke her again in the future. The thought that she would have peace in the future made Emmeline feel a lot
Meanwhile, on the other end. In the study of the main building. Jara was in the middle of an international conference call. The meeting was not about him, but about Holland Group in Flaucford. Although he was not in Sapleusia, he needed to take charge of Holland Group's affairs. As he was still in control of the company, he had to manage and guide the company in the right direction as well as giving out advice. Therefore, Jara was actually very busy. In the meantime, he heard someone knocking at the door. After allowing the person to come in, he looked up and realized it was Isaac. As his eyes moved slightly, he said a few words to the senior leaders in the company in the call before dismissing the meeting and turning off the computer. "Have you talked to her?" Without beating around the bush, he went straight to the point. In response, Isaac nodded. Seeing that, Jara raised his eyebrows. Then, he picked up a cup on the
Of course, Keira could not wait to leave, so she packed up her things and left without thinking. At that moment, she had just moved out of the dormitory when she received a phone call from Emmeline. Immediately, she was excited to meet her. The two of them arranged to meet at foreign restaurant. The well-decorated restaurant was unlike any average foreign restaurant on the main street. Not only the ingredients were delicious, but the atmosphere and decor were also top-notch. It was Keira's first time to dine in a place like this. When she came in, she felt a little uneasy. As the waiter led her to the private room on the second floor, it was not until she saw Emmeline sitting in the room that she was finally able to relax. "Emmeline!" Immediately, she shouted her name and walked over with a smile. When Emmeline looked up and realized it was Keira, she greeted her with a smile. "You're here! Have a seat." Following that, Keira walk
However, after taking a glance at Emmeline, Keira was taken aback. She saw that Emmeline was still leaning on the chair, with a faint smile that was lingering at the corner of her lips. Her eyes were as bright as usual, and she didn't seem angry at all. Stunned, she was confused upon seeing her reaction, and she asked tentatively, "Emmeline, aren't you... angry?" Hearing that, Emmeline raised her eyebrows. "Why should I be angry?" "I..." Keira bit her lip and stopped talking. But Emmeline smiled. Then, she said softly, "You're only worried about me, and you didn't mean to criticize me. The truth is always hard to hear. I understand where you're coming from." Hearing her words, Keira heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she quickly added. "Emmeline, it's good that you understand my intention. Do you still want to leave?" In response, Emmeline nodded. Following that, she poured herself a cup of tea, then leaned forward to fill
"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
