Josie smiled faintly. "Of course, you can't find anything wrong with it because it indeed is a bottle of essential oil." "The bottle of miraculous water will not have any effect when no specific person is doing certain things. What's more, the bottle I gave you to check was really a bottle of essential oil, not the other one." Emmeline was shocked. It was only now that she realized she had placed too much trust in Yunne. As a result, even though she had reservations about Yunne, she had entire faith in her when a cursory examination revealed nothing wrong with the bottle. She had no idea Yunne was trying to kill her with the level of trust. Emmeline's eyes grew cold, and Josie didn't care. She just sat there quietly. In fact, she was a completely different person than she had been at the castle, whether it was by her words, deeds, or frigid demeanor. Looking at Emmeline, she raised the bread that hadn't been finished. "Are you
She heard footsteps, and soon, the truck door was opened. "Come down!" A man said to them coldly. Josie stood up, came over to Emmeline's side, and assisted her in getting up. Emmeline smiled as she stared at her bound foot and asked, "Do you expect me to jump off the truck like this?" With a frown, Josie examined the rope that was tied to Emmeline's foot. As she was ready to bend down to help untie the knot, the man at the door stopped her. "That isn't necessary. You can stay inside the truck all night if you think it is inconvenient for you to jump out. In any case, we have no objections." After that, he ignored her and strode away. Emmeline was stunned. She didn't expect the other party to be so difficult to deal with. At the side, Josie straightened her back and looked at Emmeline helplessly. "What do you think? Do you want to stay in the truck, or do you want me to help you jump off the car?" Hearing that, Emm
As a result, Emmeline was not alone when she slept at night. She and Josie were sleeping in the same room while the other four men were guarding outside. Looking at such a guarding line-up, Emmeline could only smile bitterly. She wouldn't be able to escape even if she were a God! Letting out a soft sigh, she then closed her eyes and rested without much thought. The countryside was always quietest at night. Except for the occasional bug chirp, there was almost no sound. Soon, the sound of Josie's breathing came. Through the door, she could still hear the men's earth-shattering snores outside. Emmeline was exhausted, but she didn't know why she couldn't fall asleep. She suddenly thought of something. When she previously escaped from the villa, it was Grayclouds that escorted her away. However, when she woke up in the truck, all she saw was Josie, not Grayclouds. Where did he go? Although Emmeline was terrified
As Jara spoke, he poured himself another cup of tea. "Uncle Poick, send Mr. Mills out," he said after a mouthful of tea. Hearing that, Uncle Poick walked in from outside and looked at Isaac with a conflicted expression. "Mr. Mills, please." Isaac stared at Jara. "Alright. I'll leave now," he responded after a few seconds. After that, he turned around and left. However, he abruptly came to a halt as he approached the door. With his back turned to Jara, he added calmly, "I know I can't help you in this situation, but Emmeline is not only your girlfriend but also my friend. So I'll do everything I can. Don't worry. I'm not going to drag my family into this, and you can't stop me from thinking." After he finished his words, Jara didn't say anything. Only then did Isaac strode away. Jara, on the other hand, remained seated. After a while, he took out his phone and dialed a number. "Maxi, I have something to discuss with
Anne had an inherent beauty; after all, her parents were all really appealing. She wouldn't look too bad no matter what. However, she still began to pay attention to her figure. Clarissa recently found that she had been quietly reducing the amount of food she ate, especially meat. She only ate vegetables and fruits that were low in calories. Hence, Clarissa couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. After all, she knew that adequate nutrition, not appearance, was the most crucial factor for children Anne's age. Therefore, she would make every effort to let Anne to eat more meat at every meal. Anne knew she couldn't avoid it, so she simply ate the meat that was placed in her bowl. "Mommy, who is daddy talking to?" she asked, intrigued. Clarissa gave her a gentle glance and replied, "You kids don't have to know about our matters." Hearing that, Anne responded with a nod. "I'm done eating," she said after she swiftly ate up the food
Anderson hugged Clarissa tightly and said in a low voice, "Silly girl." Reaching out her hands, she also wrapped her arms around his waist and held him tight. Since they had made up their minds, they would not delay any longer. What's more, Jara didn't give them too much time to consider. Therefore, they would fly to Eflium early the next morning once they had made up their minds. Jara's territory was situated at Eflium. This location was in Santianz, and it was quite remote. It was for this reason that it became Jara's territory. It was three o'clock in the afternoon when Clarissa and Anderson arrived in Eflium. In the summer, the scorching sun shone down on them, causing them to sweat excessively. They noticed numerous men in black standing in front of them as soon as they stepped off the plane. The group of men walked toward them as soon as they saw them. "Excuse me, are you Mr. and Mrs. Jordan?" Both of t
After all, this was an important matter that could not be resolved quickly. Later, Anderson said, "Alright. Let me think about it. I'll get back to you later." Jara didn't seem to expect Anderson to be able to make a decision so soon. As a result, he nodded and stated, "I've arranged a room upstairs for you two. You can have a rest after dinner. Let me know if you need any assistance." "Although we have a lot of grievances previously," he said after a brief pause, "please consider it carefully this time for the sake that I saved Clarissa a few times." Hearing this, Anderson gave Jara a glace. There were way too many emotions in that glance. Eventually, they both averted their sight, and Anderson muttered, "Okay." Later, Anderson and Clarissa went upstairs together. Of course, they were going to have dinner in the castle as well. Jara ordered that a variety of delicious meals be served to entertain them. He had also opened two
"Have you made up your mind?" Jara said as he took the towel from the servant next to him, wiped his hands, and walked over. Both of them nodded. "Since that's the case, let's go to the meeting room to chat," Jara suggested, taking a deep look at Clarissa. Only then did the three of them walk into the meeting room. The three of them discussed about it until late that night. No one outside had any idea what they were talking about. They only knew it was the next morning when they came out again, and the sky had already turned bright. At this moment, in a beautiful manor thousands of miles away. In a hushed tone, a guy respectfully lowered his head and reported to the man sitting in the rattan chair, "Anderson and his wife went to Eflium yesterday and spent the entire night talking with Jara. They're rumored to be working together to deal with the Icarus Association." The man lay there with his eyes closed. The warm morning sunshine sprinkl
"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
