This incident had caused quite a stir in the local area. After all, Mr. Gill was a well-known person in the village. There weren't any famous people in the village, and the only one was the Gill Family. Everyone knew that the wealth they had was not clean, and some of them even go against principles. In the past few years, the Gill Family had made enough money to pave the road for their hometown, improve their lives, and hire a school teacher for their children. They had done a lot of good deeds. When they judged someone, they not only look at the bad things he had done, but also the good things he did for them. Furthermore, to them, those so-called bad deeds did not harm any of their interests. And as for the deeds Mr. Gill had done, they were all people who truly benefited from it. It was precisely because of this that Mr. Gill's reputation in the local area was very high, to the point where he was even more famous than the village chief. After Mr. Gill's great-gran
"Welcome to the Flaucford," she said with a smile. She then hugged Emmeline with open arms. Emmeline was thrilled as well. On the one hand, she was relieved that clues had come so quickly; on the other hand, she was pleased to see Clarissa. Because Anderson was working at the time, he was unable to pick them up. Fortunately, he had called them in advance. They expressed their understanding and waited for him to return from work so they could discuss the matter. Pattie had already cooked sumptuous dinner when they walked into the house. She had heard of Jara and Emmeline. Clarissa had brought a bunch of local specialties back from Blink City the previous time she visited. Pattie had always been gushing over those things. At this time, she felt that Jara and Emmeline were good-mannered. They were indeed a good match! Then, the group of people sat down to eat in the dining room. Marf and Anne were not at home today since they had classes, wh
With a walking stick, an elderly man with white hair appeared in front of them. He was nearly 90 years old at the time. He was already very old, even if he was in superb health. He had a hunchback and deep wrinkles all over his face. However, when he looked at them, his eyes were sharp. "What's up? What's the matter?" The local explained immediately, "Mr. Gill, these are the nobles from the city. They've come to see you for something. I'll leave now." After that, he bolted away like thunder. Mr. Gill was unconcerned. He only squinted his eyes and glanced at them. "Who are you? What can I do for you?" Anderson took a step forward and said gently, "Mr. Gill, I'm Matteo's grandson. I believe she has informed you that we'll visit you today." Mr. Gill frowned at once. After a long while, he sneered, "Got it. You're here for the thing, correct? Alright, come in." Although he let them in, they could tell he wasn't happy, and his tone
"Hey, the two ladies are working now. So what are you guys doing here? My roof starts to leak when it rains. Do you know how to repair it? Go and help me repair the roof." Anderson's expression was as cold as ice. Clarissa smiled as she tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Don't worry, Mr. Gill. We will get the roof repaired." Taking a careful look at her, Mr. Gill then walked away satisfied. After he left, Jara said in a deep voice, "I believe this old man is sick of living! Emmeline, you don't have to worry about those dirty clothes. I'm sure he'll hand over the item when the knife is put around his neck!" He appeared to be sharpening the knife as he spoke. Seeing this, Clarissa gave him a sidelong glance and rolled her eyes. "Jara, I'm afraid what you've come up with will be of no use to Mr. Gill." "Why?" Anderson frowned. Clarissa sighed. "Well, he has lived for so many years. Besides, he used to travel the world doing antique b
"Hey, take it easy, and don't worry. Although his absence at this time is unusual, it does not necessarily mean that he has escaped. How about this? Let's split up and look for him separately. We'll call each other if there is any news." "I agree." Anderson nodded. Emmeline also raised her hand in agreement. Seeing this, Jara didn't say anything. "If you find him, don't get mad and bring him back first," Clarissa added. He glanced at Clarissa and snorted, but he didn't refute. Following then, the group of people went in two ways. Clarissa and Anderson were on one team, while Emmeline and Jara were on the other. They had done a lot of work during the day. In fact, they were already very exhausted at this time, but the thing was in Mr. Gill's hands. They wouldn't be at ease if they didn't find him tonight. By this time, most of the villagers had already turned off their lights. The four of them looked for quite some time, nearly searc
He sneered, and a trace of mockery was visible on his face. "I never believed in such a thing. All I want is to live a happy and peaceful life. I don't want to think about anything else. I don't care about dying!" As soon as he said this, Jara's face suddenly changed. "Mr. Gill, do you mean you don't want to help us?" Clarissa questioned, frowning. Mr. Gill took a look at her and said with a smile, "I really don't have what you want. I'll give you my life if you want it. I don't care." "Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Before anyone could respond, Jara rushed up and grabbed his collar. Everyone was shocked. "Jara, don't act rashly!" Emmeline snatched his arm and murmured. However, Jara had already tolerated Mr. Gill for far too long. How could he still endure at this time? Jara pulled a gun from his pocket and put it on his head. "Are you trying to challenge me?" he said, gnashing his teeth. Seeing this, Mr. Gill only narrowe
Although she didn't guess all of them correctly, most of them were correct. "Is this God's will?" At the thought of this, he sighed and went silent. He then continued smoking his cigarette. Clarissa locked her gaze on him, and Mr. Gill somewhat looked older. His back was stooped, making him appear pitiful. After sitting for a while, she stood up. "It's late now, and I won't disturb you any longer. Mr. Gill, please consider it. I know you're not a bad person. It's equally immoral if you don't save people from death, even if it's not for any benefit. You can't possibly do it. Besides, your old friend introduced you to us. I'm sure you're hiding something, but I'm not going to force you. I hope you can give it some deep consideration and then come to us. If there's anything you need assistance with, just let us know. We're not going to say no." As she spoke, she bowed slightly to him before turning to leave. Her figure gradually disappeared at the
"Good! Excellent skills!" Clarissa and the others clapped their hands as well. Jara, for the sake of his own reputation, applauded as well. "I knew you were good at martial arts," Anderson stated as he walked over. "But I didn't expect it to be this great!" Mr. Gill was dressed in a practice outfit. "Do you want to practice?" he looked at Anderson and asked. Everyone was taken aback, but Anderson appeared unfazed. "Sure," he answered with a smile. With a sneer, Mr. Gill added, "Anderson, don't blame me if I hurt you." Anderson then responded with a smirk, "Your skills are excellent, but you're getting old. I won't hurt you, but don't blame me if you sprain your waist!" Hearing this, Mr. Gill immediately pulled a long face. He flung his fist over, raising his elbows. They began grappling with each other right away. Clarissa stood aside with Jara and Emmeline, and they were all frightened. How could they have fought in a blink o
"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
