Mr. Gill, on the other hand, discovered that his grandson and in-law were friendly and well-liked by everyone after checking with everyone they knew. Even their business rivals applauded them highly. They couldn't possibly offend anyone. It seemed even more unlikely that they would have enemies who would raise such a commotion to kill them. It wasn't until then that he felt a chill on his back. As a result, he'd devised a strategy. However, at that time, he was only suspicious and lacked solid evidence. It was until he discovered the car repair shop. His grandson went to a car repair shop three days before the accident to have his car repaired. Devon was the person in charge of repairing the car for them at the time. Devon was about fifty years old that year. Because of his extraordinary repairing skills, he was very close to some of the customers. Everyone was eager to have him fix the car. Therefore, his grandson and in-law went to Devo
Narrowing his eyes, Mr. Gill turned to look at her. "What is it?" Clarissa said in a low voice, "We won't force you to hand over the item now, but you'll have to follow our instructions and comply with our actions. We'll assist you in saving Lily. But after Lily returns, you must hand us Jade of Heaven, okay?" Mr. Gill pursed his lips. Anderson also agreed and said, "I promise to save Lily. Mr. Gill, we're in Ascijan. Who else do you think can save her if we can't? Furthermore, are you certain that when you give him the jade, he will really let go of Lily? If he doesn't, won't we lose both the goods and the people?" It wasn't that Mr. Gill didn't understand what he was saying. It was just because he didn't want to believe them previously and hoped they'd leave shortly. Now that he thought about it, this seemed to be the safest option. "Are you sure you can save Lily?" he questioned, looking Anderson in the eyes. "I swear on my life." Ande
Mr. Gill nodded and motioned for him to sit down. He then asked, "So, can you tell me your plan on saving Lily now?" They exchanged glances before explaining in full what idea they had come up with. At this time, on the other side. A young girl sat on the bed in a dark and shabby hut. Her wrists and feet were tied, and she had a handkerchief stuffed in her mouth. Her entire face was pale, looking pitiful. Outside, there were distinct footsteps. A young man walked in shortly after the door was opened from the outside. With a cold face, he removed his coat, tossed it aside, and walked over. The girl felt chilled by the aura on him and moved back slightly. Standing by the bed, the man stared down at her. After a while, he bent down and looked into her eyes. "Lily, where did your great-grandfather hide that item?" His voice was low and cold, like a deadly snake. Lily shook her head and couldn't utter anything. The man
With a cold face, he turned to Lily and asked, "Hey, is that thing in the coffin?" Tied to a tree, Lily neither shook her head nor nodded at his question. In fact, because she didn't know anything about Jade of Heaven, she wasn't sure if Mr. Gill had come to bury it that night. But when he heard Sean's words, she was reminded of how strange his great-grandfather had acted recently. That was why she'd brought him here. Hence, she couldn't help but be perplexed when she heard him ask this question at this point. How could she possibly know if he had buried something in the coffin? Seeing that she didn't respond, Sean couldn't bear waiting any longer. He took up his iron shovel and started prying open the coffin. Although he was young and bold, she had nevertheless been dead for decades, so he was a little scared inside. After prying for some time, he finally managed to open the lid of the coffin. He took a few steps back as an awful r
Lily didn't want to squander any more time. She sprung to her feet and dashed down the slope. Seeing that she had fled, Sean directly chased after her. However, he did hurt his eyes and groin, after all. That was why he couldn't run as fast as he used to. In addition, the mountain path was steep. Lily grew up in this area and was so familiar with it that she could stroll around with her eyes closed. So, how could Sean possibly catch up to her when she ran away like a puff of smoke? Realizing this, Sean stopped in his tracks. He glared aggressively at Lily's back before abruptly drawing a gun. Bang! Stone and soil splashed immediately under Lily's feet. She was so horrified that she came to a halt and turned around to gaze at Sean in disbelief. Sean was now a completely different guy than he had been before. His entire person had a gloomy, menacing aura. He raised his gun and pointed it at Lily. In a cold voice, he said, "I'll
"Great-grandpa!" As soon as Lily entered the door, she threw herself into her great-grandfather's arm. Seeing that, Mr.Gill stood up shakily and caught her. He couldn't help but burst into tears. "My dear granddaughter, you are finally back!" Lily buried her head in his chest and both of them burst into tears of joy. After they were done crying, Mr.Gill held her face and looked at her as if she was a precious treasure. "Let me have a good look at you. Are you hurt?" Hearing that, Lily shook her head. "I'm fine. Great-grandpa, they saved me." As she spoke, she turned around and pointed at Jara and Anderson. Mr.Gill smiled with relief and said, "I know. They are my friends, and I asked them to save you." When she heard that, Lily looked at them gratefully. At this moment, Sean, who had been silent, shouted angrily. "Gill! You were the reason my grandparents died miserably, and you also killed my father. I swear I will never for
Anderson's eyes darkened slightly as he nodded. "Alright." The two of them walked all the way to the end of the corridor. On this side, the screams in the room could not be heard anymore. As she looked out of the window, she asked softly, "What exactly is Sean's background?" Anderson casually played with her soft fingers. "He is from the Icarus Association." When Clarissa heard that, she was stunned. "The Icarus Association? Didn't they..." Before she could finish his words, she stopped. Looking at herm Anderson said faintly, "Although the Icarus Association had fallen, some smaller groups were still around. My guess is that Sean could be one of their core figures. They had probably heard that the Marsh family wanted to collect this treasure, so they wanted to strike a deal with them." Clarissa nodded. As she recalled the incident last night, she was still a little frightened. "Fortunately, we got the item earlier than him. Otherwise, if
The news of Clarissa's pregnancy soon spread. Of course, Anderson's family knew about it, and after the news began to spread, the Leonard family heard about it too. Hence, Aidan especially took time to see her. It had been a while since Aiden caught up with his niece—Clarissa. Therefore, when they saw each other, they chatted for a long time. At noon, Clarissa originally wanted to invite him for lunch, but Aidan refused. Looking at her lovingly, he explained with a smile, "I just took time to come see you. I am having lunch with a friend at noon, so I won't be eating here. Take care, and be more careful with the baby. Don't be too tired. Call me if you need anything." As he finished his sentence, Clarissa nodded and didn't force him to stay. It was only after she sent him out that she went back into the house. Unexpectedly, it was only a moment after she went back in, Carlos, Matteo, and Anderson's aunt, Chantel, had come to visit as well. As
"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
