Although the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer, tears kept rolling down her cheeks uncontrollably. "Stop pretending to be kind and upright, Jara. There isn't once you choose to believe in me. Clearly, I am not the culprit, and yet you still insist that I tried to murder her." "As long as I stay here, I will be a stumbling block for your relationship with Kayla, right? Fine! I will leave, but Jara, don't forget that you owe me this for the rest of your life! From now on, no matter how down and out I am, I will never come back to you again, and we shall not cross paths for the rest of my life!" As soon as she finished her words, she saw the shock in Jara's eyes. Then, he burst out laughing. "For the rest of your life? Okay! Remember what you said, Emmeline. Since that's what you wish for, get out of my sight and never come back!" After that, he hurled the nearest flower stand and strode away without looking back. Even though he had left
When Yunne saw that, she forced a smile. "Didn't he find out that you are the initial target of the poisoning? Why did he suddenly think that it was you who poisoned Kayla?" Upon hearing this, Emmeline pretended to have a headache and rubbed her forehead. With that, she muttered, "Perhaps... he was blinded by love. Instead of believing the evidence in front of him, he chose to trust Kayla's one-sided argument. What can I do?" As she spoke, she let out a sigh. "I should've given up on him long ago. From the drowning incident and the falling incident, I should've known that he would blame me no matter what." "So, the truth isn't everything. For him, the most important thing is to hurt my feelings." Speaking of this, she smiled sadly. "Well, I don't want to be entangled with him anymore. After I leave here, you should take good care of yourself. Kayla hates me, and since you have been serving me for such a long time, she may vent her anger o
The corpse was fished out from a river. In fact, the course of events was simple. Usually, many locals would make a living by fishing at the huge river at the edge of this town. When they fished, they generally cast a net in the morning and waited till evening to close the net. As for today, due to some matters, the net collection was delayed for two hours. At first, the fishermen thought that the fish probably escaped after eating the bait, so they might not gain anything today. However, when they pulled the net, they noticed that it was heavy. At that moment, everyone was delighted as they thought that there would be a big catch today. Even so, as they pulled the net up, they felt that something wasn't right. Instead of fish, what came out of the water was a person's hand. Upon seeing that, everyone was frightened. Then, one of them quickly lodged a police report. At the same time, the rest of the fishermen joined hands and
Emmeline thanked him and sat in the wheelchair. Later, although the young policeman didn't say anything, she could sense a hint of pity in his eyes. It might be because he noticed her stiff legs. Besides, he probably would've imagined all sorts of tragic stories that could happen to her. However, Emmeline couldn't bother to explain her actual situation to him. After seeing him off, she went into the yard with her suitcase, which she left at the corner of the door. For a long time, this old house had not been inhabited. The yard was overgrown with weeds, and a few spider webs were hanging around the corner of the walls. Moreover, the tree that was once towering and spectacular had become bare. It seemed like someone had damaged it. While controlling the wheelchair, Emmeline moved forward. Fortunately, there were no steps in front of the door. Thus, she wouldn't have any problem entering with her wheelchair. After she moved toward the door, she
From the beginning to the end, she was just their pawn. A pawn for dealing with Jara, the original Salvation Club, and the entire underground organization. When she thought of this, her eyes turned cold. As if Skylar did not sense her emotions, he said smilingly, "You don't seem to welcome me. Did I offend you or something?" Emmeline sneered. "Well, what do you think?" Hearing that, Skylar raised his eyebrows. Actually, except for his evil aura, he could charm a large number of women just by his gentle-looking face. But of course, Emmeline was not like the other women. With a faint smile, he uttered, "It seems that you are blaming me for all the things that happened to you, but you know what? After knowing that you are out of prison, I eagerly come to meet you. So, you shouldn't think of me this way." At the sight of his calm face, Emmeline could feel her blood boiling. With her eyes slightly lowered, she glanced backwar
Emmeline's heart was beating like a drum. She had no idea if Jara had actually left in the nick of time after encountering some trouble. Or he was just temporarily distracted, resulting in him not being able to turn up in time. No matter what, she would never allow herself to fall into Skylar's hands. As she thought about this, her gaze turned cold. "Skylar, we've known each other for so many years, but you haven't seen my dart skills, have you?" Hearing that, Skylar narrowed his eyes and before he could say anything, he heard a "whoosh". A dart was thrown at him. Instantaneously, his face turned cold, and he quickly spun his body to evade the attack. However, those darts were flying in the direction of his movement as if they could sense him. At the same time, Emmeline reversed her wheelchair to the door. Realizing her intention, he smiled coldly. "Where do you think you are going?" As he spoke, he had successfull
From the very beginning, all of the warmth and friendship between them were just a clever plan of theirs. While everyone knew that those emotions were fake, she was the only one who strived to protect their relationship and sacrificed for them. As she delved into her thoughts, she suddenly fell silent. Even though Jara roughly knew what she was thinking, he did not disturb her. He thought that no matter what, she would have to face the truth one day. Because by facing it, she could make a wiser decision. Moments later, the car safely arrived at the castle. After getting out of the car, Jara did not carry her again this time. Instead, he placed her in her wheelchair and let her move on her own. When the servants saw her return, they were dumbfounded. What was going on? Wasn't Emmeline being chased out for poisoning Kayla? Why was she here again? However, Kayla was not surprised. Although Jara did not explicitly spea
Those information turned out to be Lilly's. Instantaneously, Emmeline opened her eyes wide in shock. "Lilly? How could it be her?" Jara sneered, "Yeah, I was surprised as well. If the poisoning took place at Tower B's kitchen, she, as a cook, would be highly suspected. So, at first, I assumed that she wouldn't do anything stupid that put herself into trouble." "But perhaps, she knew this, so she wanted to take this to her advantage, fool everyone, and free herself from suspicion. Unfortunately, her means were a little clumsy. I sent someone to search her room, and we found some leftover arsenic." Upon hearing that, Emmeline was dumbstruck. Then, she looked up at him. "Did she admit it?" Jara nodded, "Yes, she did." At once, Emmeline's mood became complicated. Back then, when she saw Kayla threatening and framing Lilly, she stood up for Lilly. However, it didn't occur to her that Lilly would attempt to poison her right af
"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
