Lola subconsciously wanted to refute, but Carson raised his hand to stop her. He frowned, looked around at the crowd, and finally looked at Lauren. "Lauren, tell me what has happened." Lauren told the truth honestly. With so many people present, she said objectively and impartially, neither exaggerating the details, nor falsifying the facts. Carson frowned after hearing that. "So, Lara, you thought that Clarissa stole the original manuscript of your design five years ago, and wanted to improve her innocence tonight and frame you, so you sent Lola here to steal the manuscript?" Lara was stunned. After a while, she took a deep breath. She knew that it was useless for her to quibble at this time. She could only say, "I admit that I did mention to Lola accidentally that Clarissa took away my original manuscript, and it was very likely that she would use this to frame me, but I did not ask her to steal it for me. "I didn't ex
Elliot's face changed. Lara grabbed his arm and said in a trembling voice, "Elliot, I didn't..." Lauren sneered, "You can continue to pretend!" Lara was speechless. More and more people suspected her, and she couldn't stand it anymore. Looking sadly at Clarissa, she said in a trembling voice, "Clarissa, I didn't expect you to say this under the circumstances! Well, since you insist that I framed you, I have nothing to say. But you can't prove your innocence just by saying this!" One of Lara's admirers couldn't bear to see her being so sad and fragile. He spoke for her, "Yes, you didn't explain it five years ago. It has been so long, and now you say that you were wronged. How can you prove it? Lauren was stunned. She had been following Clarissa's plan, but she did not expect that things would become like this. Hearing this, she squinted at Clarissa. Clarissa sneered and was about to speak. "Who said that she can't p
Clarissa did not speak, only smiling while holding the milk tea. Anderson said a few words. Looking at her smiling face, he couldn't complain anymore and smiled with her. "Tell me! Have you already had a plan?" Clarissa nodded. Although she was surprised to see Anderson here, it was similar to what she had originally planned. She had wanted to competed with Lara again. But it would be easier and fairer to hold the competition if it was proposed by Anderson. Anderson seemed to have thought of this. He smiled warmly, "It seems that I shouldn't have said that." Clarissa shook her head in a hurry. "No, it's nice that you came here." She didn't say that although she had had a plan in her heart before she came here, she was a little diffident in her heart. She... didn't dare to believe anyone in the Richardson family anymore. It was Carson who personally confirmed her crime five years ago. Even if she could compete
Lara stood there and said proudly, "I took a lot of hard work to paint the draft five years ago, so I remember it very deeply. Clarissa, you had seen my design and you may remember it vaguely, but you can't remember it more clearly than me. So you'd better give up. Your draft can't be better than mine." Clarissa smiled, "Is that so?" "Of course. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Richardson." "Mr. Richardson, is she right?" Carson looked at Clarissa in shock, and the expression on his face was complicated. Lara thought that she was right. She thought, "Clarissa is really an idiot! She has forgotten her design draft five years ago. Otherwise, how could she think of such a stupid way of drawing it again to remember it?" "According to the principal's expression, he must have found that Clarissa's draft was completely different from the design five years ago!" Thinking of this, Lara felt even more proud. Anderson said blandly, "Alright, Announ
Lliana stepped forward quickly and stood in front of her. Clarissa frowned slightly. "What's the matter?" "How dare you ask me? Tell me! What did you do to Lara? She is in the hospital now!" About the result of the competition, Carson promised that he would announce the truth to people to improve her innocence. However, the doctor said that Lara was in poor health and she couldn't be stimulated any more. Otherwise, her life would be in danger. Although Clarissa didn't care whether she would die or not, she didn't want to be charged with murder, so she could only agree to postpone the time. Therefore, until this moment, Lliana still didn't know the truth. She only knew that the reason why Lara became like this was all because of Clarissa. When she saw Clarissa, her heart was full of hatred. Clarissa smiled lightly. She looked at Lliana, as if she was looking at an idiot. "Lliana, you know what? Being stupid is a kin
Clarissa's expression suddenly became fierce. She was really angry, and she really couldn't understand how could Elliot have the confidence to say such words to her! "Elliot, I think you have overestimated yourself. Do you think I will stay single forever and cherish the memory of those days we were together for a man like you? How can you be so shameless to dream like this?" Being ridiculed by her several times, Elliot became a little irritable. "Clarissa, don't consider my kindness as evil inention! Do you know what kind of person Anderson is? Do you know him? Since that woman can be related to the Jordan Group by marriage, her family background can't be simple. Have you ever thought about what will happen to you when she knows the relationship between you and Anderson?" Clarissa smiled faintly. "Whether I know him or not, it has nothing to do with you. Although we knew each other not long ago, I think that I have known him enough. At least I know
Clarissa's face changed. It was Lliana's voice. D*mn it! The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they were about to come in. Clarissa rushed forward quickly and locked the door from inside. Then, she quickly took out her mobile phone and dialed a number. "Oh, why can't I open the door?" "What? Let me see." There was a sound of opening the door from outside. The door couldn't be opened without a key, because it was locked from inside. Lliana immediately understood. "Ha! It seems that the b*tch has known this. Does she think that she can stop me with the door? You are too naive!" As she said this, she took out her mobile phone and called someone. "Brody, bring me the key to box 8823 immediately! Don't talk nonsense! If you dare tell others about it, you will be fired tomorrow!" Listening to the arrogant voice outside, Clarissa suddenly remembered that this hotel seemed to owned by the Duncan Group. Sh
David knew the seriousness of this matter and replied quickly, "Mr. Jordan, we will get there in thirteen minutes at top speed." Usually, it took an hour from the airport to Deluge Hotel. They had driven for a while, and even the remaining distance would take at least forty minutes. David had done his best to get there in thirteen minutes. After all, a car was not an airplane. No matter how good its performance was, it cannot fly there. Anderson understood this reason. He pursed his lips and didn't speak any more. At this moment, Conner received a call from one of his subordinates and frowned. "I see. I'll ask about it now." After he hung up, he called Elliot first. "Elliot, are you at Deluge Hotel today?" Elliot didn't know what was going on, so he replied with some doubts, "Yes, what's the matter?" "Do you know who is in the room 8828?" "8828?" Elliot was stunned, and then he suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"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
