You only saw the trunk on the surface of the ground, but you couldn't see how deep, dense, and long the roots buried under the ground. And now, if you want to shake the tree, you must be stronger than the wind, but are you? No. I can say that in this world, no one can shake them unless the Icarus Association, the Sapphire family, and the Lost Vanguard join hands. But is it possible for these forces to work together? It was impossible, wasn't it? Lost Vanguard was like an ant in front of the Marsh Family. It's not impossible for an ant to shake a tree. It just needs a plan and an opportunity. This is a very important and rare opportunity. Maybe it can achieve double the result with half the effort. It's impossible for anyone else to give up this opportunity, let alone Jara." After hearing that, Emmeline fell silent. She didn't know that Jara would have to consider this when making the decision. Why didn't he tell her? Clearly, he knew that as lo
However, he was, after all, a very experienced person. Immediately, he put on a straight face and walked over. "Why haven't you slept yet?" He asked in a magnetic and deep voice. On the other hand, Emmeline looked at him and did not answer his question. Instead, she asked, "Have you finished your business?" Obviously, Jara knew what she was asking. Looking at the woman in front of him, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he thought to himself that the way she asked this question, was she still angry at him? With Emmeline's character, he knew that if she was angry, she would never ask him. She wouldn't even bother to talk to him. In fact, it was a common for her to ignore him. In that case, was she not angry anymore? Although Jara didn't know the reason, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart. With a nod, he said, "Yes, it's done." Both of them looked at each other in silence for a moment. As Em
Isaac was accompanied by a few other rich kids. At the sight of Emmeline, everyone's faces were full of amazement. Someone nudged Isaac with his arm and asked with a smile, "Isaac, who is this beauty? I haven't seen her before. Why don't you introduce her to us?" Isaac grew up with them, so how could he not know what these people were thinking? Waving his hand, he pushed the others away. "Go away, don't talk nonsense here. Go get some drinks." Seeing that, everyone couldn't help but laugh. Someone teased. "Isaac, I heard that you invited your sweetheart to come over today. Could it be this beautiful woman?" As soon as the words came out, Isaac blushed in an instant. Glaring at his friend, he shouted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have known her for many years, and she is like my sister. Don't talk nonsense." Originally, his intention was not to let his friends make jokes, so as not to make Emmeline angry. H
"It's much better. The doctor said that I will be completely recovered in a month." Hearing that there was still a month to go, not only did Kamryn not show a relaxed expression, he even frowned. "It must be a very serious injury." IIn response, Emmeline nodded. But, she didn't explain the cause of her injury. Since they had just met, it was not appropriate for Kamryn to ask too much about it. Lest she would think he overstepped the boundary. Therefore, he could only say, "Miss Illington, you have to be careful in the future. I wish you a speedy recovery." With a smile, Emmeline responded, "Thank you." Then, neither of them spoke again. When they arrived at the restroom, Kamryn pointed to the front and said, "It's over there. Miss Illington, you can go there by yourself." Seeing that, Emmeline nodded, and thanked him again before she went in. After using the restroom, she touched up her look in front of the mirror. Then she
Feeling a little flustered, she tried to push him away desperately, but he didn't move at all. As she was still a wounded person, how could she push him away? In the end, she had no strength to resist. It was as if she was enveloped in the tenderness of the water, so much so that she did not even have the urge to resist. Some time had passed. And Jara finally let go of her. At the moment, she was completely relaxed, and there was even a trace of mist in her eyes. Compared to her usual sharp appearance, she looked more delicate and gentle. Reaching out his hand, he stroked the corner of her mouth. Then, he said softly, "Emmeline, have I told you that your matters are my mine too?" Hearing that, Emmeline was stunned. Staring at him blankly, obviously, she didn't quite understand what he meant. As he held her hand, Emmeline could feel the faint calluses in his palm, which ignited a feeling in her. In a deep voice, he asked. "C
It was a fact that Jara was very well-known in this circle, and almost to the point where everyone knew him. In this area, nobody would disrespect him. But the public thought he had a problem, which was that he had never had a woman around him, and he never approach a woman. How exaggerated was this rumor? It was so exaggerated that some people even said he was gay. After all, a man with such a strong background and such great strength had no woman around him. So it was possible that his sexual orientation was questioned. Moreover, when Emmeline and Jara were together at that time, both of them were very low-key. In addition, Emmeline had joined the Salvation Club back then, so it was better to not make it public. Therefore, except for the few people who were extremely close to Jara, no one in the outside world even knew that he had a girlfriend. In this case, it would not be surprising if there were any strange rumors. However, at this
At the moment, Emmeline felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was Isaac's birthday party. When they were eating earlier, Isaac was present too. It was only when he received a phone call that he said he had to pick up someone and left. It took him a long time to come back. Logically speaking, as guests, she and Jara should not leave the table before Isaac came back. Now, the two of them had left ahead of schedule. Hence, it was all too awkward. So she hurriedly explained. "I didn't go anywhere, we were just walking around." After a pause, her eyes fell on the girl behind him. She wore a white short flower print shirt and a pair of tight jeans and carried a small bag on her back. Her hair was tied high into a ponytail and she styled it with a hair clip at the back. Overall, she looked very young and agile. Emmeline couldn't help but smile and ask, "Isaac, this is..." Seeing this, Isaac quickly smiled and introduced them. "This is Esme Romero,
Soon, Emmeline's phone rang again. Knitting her eyebrows, she didn't want to care about it at first, but she couldn't stand his gaze, so she could only pick up the phone. As soon as she opened it, she saw another text message. 'I was wrong.' Seeing that, she was stunned. Following that, her frown deepened. Then, she turned to look at him and saw that he was looking at her seriously. His eyes, which were usually cold and deep, had now lost all the sharpness. He looked at her guiltily, and with his watery eyes like a puppy. Seeing that, Emmeline felt her heart tightened. For some reason, she felt an itch as if she had just been brushed by feathers. She didn't know what he meant. Was he pretending to look guilty? Hmmph. She wouldn't fall for the trap. With the thought in mind, Emmeline put the phone away and pretended to turn a blind eye. Jara took a look at her and realized that this move had no effect. After thinkin
"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
