In the past four years, the Lost Vanguard had been in chaos and had disintegrated along the way. The domestic situation had also become complicated because of the dispute between the Hollands and the Jordans. It must have been really difficult for him all these years, and it was probably very dangerous too. Therefore, if there was such a thing, at least it could really ensure his safety. While Emmeline was thinking about it secretly, suddenly, a warm hand reached out again and quietly held her hand in the dark. As if their hearts were linked, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other again. They could see the moving and affectionate expressions in each other's eyes. Realizing that, Emmeline was stunned. Somehow, at that moment, she felt a warm feeling welling up in her heart. A different kind of emotion sprouted from the bottom of her heart, making her a little flustered. In a hurry, she pulled a
But now, it was presented by the Marsh Family? How... how could this be possible? Upon receiving the news, both of them were shocked. After all, there was no trace of the Marsh Family's involvement in the dispute, so no one would think that the piece of pendant ultimately ended up in their hands. On the surface, it seemed that the dispute was provoked by the traitors of the Salvation Club, but in fact, the Marsh family were the one who was behind it? No, that was impossible! Jara and Luca had always been very close. At that time, there was no competition in their businesses as well, so the relationship between them was even closer. If the Marsh Family really did interfere, Jara must have noticed it. But if they were really not behind the dispute back then, and that object had not fallen into their hands, was it possible that there was a second piece of Jade of Heaven in this world? The sudden thought made Emmeline feel a chill down
Four of them stood outside the hall and chatted for a while. Soon, the second session was about to begin, and the group of people entered the hall again. They returned to their respective seats. It was only after everyone had taken their seats that they began the auction. The items in the second session of the auction were naturally much more valuable than the items in the first session. There were paintings of ancient famous artists, an Imperial seal that had been lost for thousands of years, and a scepter used by the Uqobia royal family. In short, there were all sorts of rare treasures. However, maybe it was getting closer to the last treasure, at this time, everyone was much more cautious. While they stopped looking at the auction items in front of them, all of them were now concentrating, and quietly waiting for the last treasure to appear. Of course, Isaac had heard about the last treasure. He probably shared the same thoughts with Emmelin
Emmeline cast an admiring glance at her. "Esme is still very smart." Suddenly, Isaac was speechless. Why did he feel that he was being looked down upon? However, even though he was complaining, he knew for sure that Jara wasn't really giving up. Rather, he was planning to wait until the last minute to win over the bid. Only then did he feel at ease. Soon, that golden-haired foreigner was defeated. The man sighed helplessly and shook his head in disappointment. Turning around, he made a fist-holding gesture to show his respect to Mr. Payne, then gave up. At that moment, there was a smug look on Mr. Payne's face. This time, Mr. Payne went all in and almost bet all his money. Even if he was not the richest present, he had the highest bidding price. In the end, the bidding price of 80 million yuan was bid up to 1.5 billion dollars by him and the foreigner! At present, the hostess glanced across the hall and said with a smile, "Mr.
So she tugged at him and said, "I'm not feeling well. Can you take me to the restroom?" Isaac turned around and nodded, then he took another look at Mr. Payne and let out a snort. After that, he told Jara and Emmeline to wait for them at the same spot before turning around and went to the bathroom with Esme. After he left, Mr. Payne also left with a gloomy face. This time, he didn't even exchange a greeting with Jara. It was obvious that he wasn't happy about it. However, Jara was not that kind of person who would hold grudges. Not only did he not haggle over it, he greeted him attentively. "Mr. Payne, take care along the way." Hearing that, Mr. Payne almost tripped over as he was about to leave. Emmeline couldn't help but laugh, turning to glare at him angrily. "Why are you making fun of him?" Raising his eyebrows, Jara replied, "I'm not. I worried for him. After all, he's still so ambitious at such an old age. He's not a person t
Emmeline also leaned over. In order to have a better look at it, her whole body leaned to his side, and her head was almost next to his. After a while, she asked in a low voice, "Did you see anything?" Jara handsome brows furrowed slightly as he said in a low voice, "This isn't the same piece from four years ago?" "What?" Upon hearing that, Emmeline was stunned as she looked at him in surprise. Putting down the jade, Jara turned his head, and only to realize that she had already leaned over at some point. The two of them were at a very close proximity. They were so close that he could easily smell the faint scent of lavender on her hair, which it disrupted his breathing. But soon, he acted as if he didn't notice it and hid away his feelings. Silently, he moved closer to her so he'd be closer to her. Raising the jade pendant in his hand, he explained. "Look at the texture on this piece. I have carefully observed the one that appeared four
When Yunne saw this, she quickly nodded. "Then wait for me for a while, I'll go get it." She didn't go out until she got Emmeline's permission. It didn't take long for Yunne to come back. Coming in with a small box in her hand, she placed it on the table. Emmeline looked at it and saw that there were all kinds of tools in it. She couldn't help but laugh, "Wow, seems like you have a full set of equipments." WIth a smile, Yunne said, "Well, It's because I am not skillful enough, so using the equipment would be a plus. Emmeline, lie down on the bed first." Thus, Emmeline complied and lay flat on the bed. Subsequently, Yunne took a cushion stool from the dressing room, and sat down by the bed with her head facing her. After warming her hand, she began to give her a gentle massage. She had to admit that Yunne was being modest when she said that her skill was not good. Because after experimenting it for herself, in fact, Emmeline co
As she thought of this, she felt at ease. However, she felt uneasy when she slept that night. She didn't know what was going on, but somehow she felt a little suffocated as if there was a stone pressing on her heart, which almost made her puked. In the middle of the night, Emmeline was awakened. There was a rush of footsteps outside. She got out of bed and ran to the window to have a look. The whole castle was ablaze with lights. Cars and people were moving around outside, while everyone was in a hurry and panicking. A bad feeling welled up in her heart. As she looked at the time, it was just three o'clock in the morning. At this time, Yunne had probably heard the noise as well, so she rushed into Emmeline's room. Still in her pajamas, she wore a thin jacket to layer herself. When she saw Emmeline glancing out of the window, she asked urgently, "Miss Illington, are you okay?" Then, Emmeline turned to look at her and asked wit
"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
