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
However, it was obvious that he was not to let her go so easily. So, even when he found out that she had been knocked down, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned the car around and tried to hit her again. As Emmeline noticed Keira, who was also stumbling and running toward her like crazy, her eyes turned cold. When the car was about a meter away from her, she suddenly jumped up and slammed onto the top of the car with a 'bang.' At that moment, everyone froze. Even the man in the car was shocked. Although he had thought of thousands of possibilities, he didn't expect that she would survive after two hits. In the end, she even climbed onto the top of his car. While feeling a little flustered, he quickly calmed down and made a decision. Then, he drifted the car in an instant, intending to throw her off the car. However, Emmeline was no ordinary woman. Even though she had been heavily injured and her life was at stake at this cri
Since the matter had come to such an urgent state, Uncle Poick also came along. Knowing that something had happened to Emmeline, he too was worried, and he would be even more anxious if he stayed in the castle. At the moment, he was worried sick seeing this situation. Hence, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Holland, should we send someone to search for her too?" Hearing that, Jara nodded, "Call Quan and ask him to bring a group of people over to search along downstream." "Okay" It only took a few minutes for the police to arrive after the accident. While the car and the driver were found, Emmeline was nowhere to be seen. If she was really knocked out or something happened to her, she would only be carried downstream. After Uncle Poick finished the arrangements, he walked back to Jara. Meanwhile, Jara was looking at the car parked not far away, which was salvaged from the river. He then shifted his gaze at the driver who had just been take
"Let's go! They're still looking for her. For now, they can't trace us. However, Jara is a smart person. If he couldn't salvage her after a while, he would definitely guess that someone had taken her away. When he caught up to us and we are no match for him." Someone reminded him. Another person said, "Yes, we have spent so much effort and sacrificed a person to get this woman out. We must not let him take her away again. Come on, quick. In another two hours, we will make it over this mountain and reach our destination. When we get there, someone will come to rescue us." With that, the rest of them walked faster. At the same time, someone asked doubtfully, "I wonder what secrets does this woman holds that our boss wants her so badly!" Another person said, "Who knows? We'd better not ask or care about it. But since she is quite good-looking, perhaps she is boss' lover?" Someone sneered, "His lover? Someone who was hit by a car, and was now half-alive?
Suddenly, he felt that everything went black in front of him, then fell down directly. Along with him, Emmeline fell to the ground as well. After all, she was still seriously injured. After falling to the ground, she stumbled and rolled down the steps. At that moment, Emmeline only protected her head, but her body was hitting on the stone steps heavily. She felt an excruciating pain to the point where she was about to collapse. However, in the face of the enemy, even if it hurt, she did not dare to linger for a moment. Suppressing the pain, she immediately got up and ran in another direction. Little did she know that even though they were in the middle of a fight, they were still looking at her from the corner of their eyes. Seeing that she was about to make a run, two of them kicked away the people in front of them and chased after her in spite of everything. At that moment, Emmeline had completely exhausted her energy. No matter how
Back then, Emmeline turned out as they had expected, becoming the person that incited the fight between the Salvation Club and the Lost Vanguard, and caused the two biggest underground forces to exhaust each other to the point where they crumbled. But now, she was all alone. To them, she should be completely useless and no longer posed a threat. Why were they still chasing after her and even sent out so many people to kill her? For that, Emmeline was puzzled. In fact, it wasn't just her, even Jara had the same doubt. It was only then that they realized that things were far more complicated than they had imagined. Seeing that she had finished reading the information, he walked over to a chair next to her and sat down since he was not in a hurry. Then, he asked her, "What do you have in mind?" Hearing that, Emmeline turned around and looked at him. Her mind was still in a mess, and she couldn't figure it out, but she felt a little uneasy.
Uncle Poick was a great wheeler-dealer. Knowing that it was not the right time to create more troubles, he quickly sent away Skyler. As for the matter of money, Jara had always been generous. So, as long as Uncle Poick could shut Skyler's mouth and stop him from causing any trouble for Emmeline, it would be worth it regardless of the amount of money. After he was taken away by Uncle Poick, Jara then carried Emmeline and walked towards Tower B where Keira was placed. As the incident happened too quickly, after Keira's accident, her body was supposed to be taken away by the police. However, Jara knew Emmeline had a good relationship with her, and he also knew that she died for Emmeline. Therefore, he sent his men to stop the police at the time. There was no need to investigate the nature of this matter as it was already quite obvious. Knowing that they were Keira's family members and the police knew Jara personally, they were not afraid
"After the test, it was found that he had tucked the poison in his mouth in advance. The moment realized something went wrong, he committed suicide immediately. It was obvious that he was a professional killer who came well-prepared." When Emmeline heard the explanation, her face was getting gloomier. In her mind, she pictured the man driving a car and coming at her in desperation. When Jara noticed her expression, he reminded her. "The person who killed Keira was the former. His background is still not clear to us at the moment, and it takes time to investigate. If you go out now, no matter how skillful you are, it will be difficult for you to fight against all of them. You might get caught right away." "By that time, it won't be a big deal if you die, but who will avenge Keira? Do you want her to die in vain?" After Emmeline heard Jara's words, she was surprised. Lifting her head, she looked at him with her confused gaze. "What should I do
"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
