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
"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
