Then, she turned to look at the driver who came in with Anne. "What happened on the way?" The driver lowered his head, looking a little guilty. "Nothing happened on the way. But when we came in, we bumped into Ms. Chantel." Upon hearing that, Clarissa frowned. Chantel? Looking up at her, he quickly added, "Ms. Chantel told Miss Anne something." As he spoke, Clarissa's face darkened. Recalling what Anne had said earlier, she already knew what Chantel said to her. Then, she said in a deep voice, "I understand now. You may leave." After the driver left, she went to Anne's room. In the room, Anne was sitting on the bed and was sulking. When she saw Clarissa coming in, she ignored her and turned to look away. Looking at her angry look, Clarissa smiled helplessly. "Tsk. What happened to my little angel? Who has the guts to make her angry?" Clarissa sat down with a smile, turning Anna around to face her and aske
As Clarissa looked at the ribs on her plate, she smiled. "So, you're not angry anymore?" Anne blushed with embarrassment, while Anderson glared at her. "Keep on listening to those nonsense." Hearing that, Clarissa nudged him in his arm, indicating that he should not scare her. Then she picked up the pork ribs and took a bite. "Yum, this piece of rib tastes better than the rest, Anne." When Anne heard that, she laughed happily. Then she picked up a few more pieces for Clarissa. Because of that, Clarissa was so amused by Anne that it put her in a good mood. She even ate more for dinner. After dinner, she called Carlos and Matteo to tell them that Anne would not be going there. However, she didn't tell them the exact reason as she was afraid that they would be worried. Hence, she only said that Anne didn't want to go there, and it was fine for her stay here. If Clarissa couldn't manage, she would hire two more nannies to take care of them.
Although Chantel had always been unreliable, she was famous for being generous her friends. In addition, she had a high status in society as her parents were the founding fathers of the country, and on top of that, her nephew was the head of the richest company in Ascijan—Jordan Group. So in the past few years, although she was divorced, her private life had always been very rich as she had been with several young male partners. Hence, Chantel lived a happy life. Because Matteo did not allow her to intervene with the company's affair, she knew that her mother did not intend to give her a share of the company in the future, so she gave up the idea of having a child. After all, if the child was born, the baby and Anderson would be in the same generation, but there would be a big difference in their status. This was something she could never accept. Therefore, it would be better to not give birth to a baby than to be despised by others when born. That
Chantel snorted arrogantly. "That's more like it." At that moment, Micah happened to come over, so she let him hold her arm as they walked away. Then, Robert and Sierra went to the lounge. As soon as he sat down, Robert asked with concern, "Are you alright? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Shaking her head, Sierra looked up and smile at him. "Robert, I'm so sorry. I've caused trouble for you again." Upon hearing that, Robert frowned, looking a little displeased. "How many times have I told you? We are husband and wife. It's normal for a husband and wife to support each other. What do you mean by causing trouble for me?" With a pause, he then added, "Besides, it's clearly the woman who is being unreasonable, and you still let her walked all over you." In response, Sierra smiled faintly. "Judging from the way she looked and her attitude, she doesn't seemed to be an ordinary person. It's best if we don't cause any trouble since we're ne
"It turns out that they are your friends? I was just wondering why they seemed powerful." With a smile, she turned to look at Tobias. "Which means, you already knew what happened between us in the hall earlier?" Meanwhile, Tobias had no idea what Chantel was up to as he wiped away the sweat from his forehead and replied with a smile, "Yes, but the two of them are my friends. In addition, it was really an accident. Please forgive them..." Before he could finish his words, Chantel raised her hand and interrupted him. Following that, she walked toward Sierra. Seeing that, Robert stood up warily, shielding Sierra behind him and said coldly, "What do you want to do?" Chantel glanced at him as she raised her eyebrows. "It's none of your business. I just want to talk to her." Behind him, Sierra stood up and tugged at the hem of his shirt. "Robert, it's fine. Let me talk to her." Only then did Robert step aside indifferently. Then, C
This batch of jade stones that belonged to Tobias was indeed dug up in a newly found mine. For the time being, no one knew about it, but since the stones had been unearthed, it was only about time that people would find out about it. Therefore, he had been worrying about this for quite a while. Of course, he was reluctant to share this hard-won mine, but he also knew that he could not afford to manage such a large piece of land by himself. So, just when he was trying to solve the problem, Chantel came to him. Hence, after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Miss Jordan, may I ask if this your personal proposal or the family's?" Upon hearing that, Chantel frowned. "What's the difference? What's wrong? You don't believe me or you don't believe my family?" Tobias smiled awkwardly. "It's not that I don't believe you, but... it's a big deal after all, and it takes a lot of money to invest in mines. Miss Jordan, I know you have the money, but for a decision this big,
Needless to ask, if Chantel was to ask for money, she would have to go to Anderson. However, Chantel did not dare to go directly to Anderson. After all, everybody knew her nephew was known to be very good at reasoning, and he would never reason with his aunt. Sometimes, he was so harsh to her that she doubted if he was still the nephew she knew since he was a child. However, it was common for men to behave that way after they got married. It was not surprising for them to forget their own mother after having a wife. Therefore, she couldn't tell Anderson about this matter directly. She had to talk to Clarissa first so she could assess the situation beforehand. So, Chantel made up her mind and drove directly to Energence International Crop. At this time of the day, Clarissa was still at work. Straight away, she dialed Clarissa's number, and as soon as Clarissa picked up, she smiled in a friendly manner and asked, "Clarissa, are you at work?"
Pursing her lips together, she replied in a low voice, "Well, I can promise you, but you have to promise me one thing." Upon receiving the news, Chantel was delighted and quickly asked, "What is it?" "In the future, you are not allowed to say those words to Anne. Aunt Chantel, you knew that I have always regarded Anne as my own daughter. I see her as my biological daughter. I don't want anyone to provoke our relationship, especially our relatives." Suddenly, Chantel's face changed. It turned from panic to anger, and finally to deep shame. With her head lowered slightly, Chantel said remorsefully, "I-I didn't mean it. I was too angry at the time, and I got carried away..." "I don't care what was your reason." Clarissa's voice was cold, with an unprecedented sternness. "Anyway, I don't want this to happen again in the future." "Okay, I promise, I'll never talk nonsense again." Chantel immediately agreed. With a nod, Clarissa then stoo
