Chapter 988 A Life For A Life

Author: Lisa Christiana
All at once, Clarissa had it figured out.

As she thought about it, her expression changed.

Suddenly, she squatted down and examined the back of the dead man's head once more. At this time, she had already concluded the reason for the man's death.

Anderson saw her change in expression and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

As she shook her head, she replied, "Call the police and get the forensic doctor to check it out. Don't worry about calling the police. Aunt Chantel is not responsible for his death."

Her words sent Chantel into a panic.

"Clarissa, you can't call the police. It's a crime to kill someone. If you call the police, I'll be ruined for life."

Even though the Jordan family's power and influence were wide, Chantel could not expect Anderson or her parents to bend the law for her crimes.

Clarissa saw Chantel's reaction and patted her hand to reassure her, "Don't worry. You didn't kill him."

"Really?"

    Soon, the pot of tea was ready. Raylan poured a cup for each person. "Oh, I ran into some trouble and left the research group. It so happened that I have a friend here and came over for a visit. I like the culture and customs here. So, I stayed and started a pub." As Raylan poured the tea, he explained why he was here. However, no one could tell if he was telling the truth. There was no reason for Anderson to dwell further in the matter. Where the both of them were now, they could no longer interact like ordinary people. Pursuing the matter further would not be of benefit but would cause embarrassment. After taking a sip of tea, Clarissa commented with a smile, "What a coincidence that both of you are classmates. And then my Aunt Chantel got into trouble in your pub. Mr. Osborn, I'm sure no one will believe such a coincidence." Raylan stopped what he was doing. Then, he glanced at Clarissa, who just spoke. "This is..." I

    Both Raylan's men and Anderson's bodyguards were keeping a tight watch on the group of boxers to make sure they did not leave. Anderson and Chantel had different bodyguards. The bodyguards for Chantel were ordinary. However, Anderson's bodyguards were specially trained veterans. They emitted an aura that was different from the underground black-boxing practitioners. Their aura was chilling and lethal, was born out of the blood-soaked battlefields, and was something that stayed with them forever. Standing near these bodyguards sent chills down the spine for most people. And they could not even resist—let alone run—when faced with such intimidation. Shortly, Raylan offered a solution to the incident. The group of boxers was Raylan's men, and he did not have the heart to eliminate them. He proposed that the group of boxers apologize to Chantel. All of them would break an arm each so that they could not make a living from black-boxing. Then,

    At this time, Raylan had already done a lot to appease Chantel and the rest. So, she did not want to continue blaming him. Instead, she waved off his apology with an embarrassed smile. "Forget it! Since you put it this way, then I'll be magnanimous. I'll not bicker with you over this matter for now." "But, please remember to watch over those boxers so that they won't act absurdly. Otherwise, I won't let this matter rest." Raylan nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, Miss Jordan. I'll monitor this matter through and make sure that such incidents will never happen again." With Raylan's assurance, Anderson and his group did not say anything further and got ready to leave. Unexpectedly, Raylan stopped them. He smiled and offered, "It was said that it's better to meet by chance than to be invited. I've never expected to meet you all in Ashax country. Since I'm indebted to you, then let me know if you plan to stay here longer. I can be your host a

    The atmosphere was warm, and Anderson's words made Clarissa laugh merrily. Then, she whispered softly, "Thank you." In response, Anderson hugged her and asked, "Why do you thank me all of a sudden?" With her head on Anderson's shoulder, Clarissa whispered, "I was drifting in life like walking in darkness without any hope of finding my path. I thought that was my destiny. Day to day, I plodded on. From the day I met you, you showered me with love and warmth. So here's a big thank you to you, Anderson. Thank you for letting me know that there is true love in this world. Thank you for giving me a warm home." As Anderson listened to her whisperings, his heart felt warmth as well. Then, he hugged her tightly and whispered, "If you want to thank me, then thank me through your whole life." After he said that, he lowered his head and gave her a kiss. Clarissa did not push Anderson away. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this rare moment of warm intimacy.

    "Yes, as long as she's alright, that's good. Don't worry about losing the money. We're not short of money." At this time, Chantel added in some comforting words to console Sierra. Actually, Sierra was not concerned about the money. Over the years, Sierra and Robert had lived in seclusion. Robert was a private person and would shy away from publicity. However, he was a very proficient person and did not lack money. In fact, they also had servants in their secluded hideout, which made living there like living in paradise. Hence, losing this small amount of money was not what bothered Sierra. It's just that the incident frightened Sierra. At the same time, she was also worried about Robert chasing after the snatch thief. Of course, Clarissa was also concerned about the same thing. She turned to look at Anderson, "Go after them. Don't let anything happen to Robert." There were no bodyguards with them as they did not want to attract atte

    Even without Mr. Jenkins' interpretation, the child could read Sierra's expression. However, he remained quiet. Instead, he bowed his head and bit his lips. As Mr. Jenkins watched, he felt uneasy in his heart. With a deep sigh, he explained, "These children are orphans. Ashax is unlike our country. Many of the orphans here are refugees and homeless. They live hungry on the streets. None will offer them jobs, let alone go to school. Only then, Sierra understood the situation, and she showed pain on her face. She thought for a while and opened her handbag. Then, she handed all the money to the child. "Take this. It's not much, but that's all I can do. Take care of yourself, and don't do this again." The youth was taken aback and raised his head to look at her. Seeing the child's hesitation, Mr. Jenkins directed, "What are you waiting for? Take the offer." Quickly, the child reacted and took the money. He then ran off. As he watc

    After all, he was not a rigid person. Although Coby had shown him the way, if there were other options, he would definitely give it a go instead of being controlled by him.  Previously, he had also thought about hiring Robert to treat Emmeline. However, the doctor he already hired was just as good as the Robert. On the other hand, Robert was a strange person and he lived in seclusion in the desert all year round. He had only heard of his reputation, but he had never seen him before, let alone having any relationship with him. It was already difficult to find him, and it would be even more difficult to ask him for help. But now, since he was Clarissa's stepfather, things were different. So, when they first met at the entrance of the theater today, an idea had already formed in his mind.  As it was their first time meeting each other, it was inappropriate to mention it directly. He thought that when they came home, he would talk to Clarissa about

    His words silenced everyone. In the meantime, Jara's expression was extremely awful. It was true that he had promised Coby to look for the Jade of Heaven previously in exchange for medicine that could suppress Emmeline's illness. But he hadn't give up completely. He had been looking for other ways to save her. Now, Robert had completely destroyed his last hope. It was only then that he finally realized that Emmeline's illness was not that simple. With a darkened, Jara asked, "Mr. Lane, do you know the origin of the cells?" In his mind, he thought perhaps he could find the root cause, and found a solution. However, Robert shook his head. "If you want to know the origin of the cells, you have to ask the Marsh family. This disease originates from their family. As long as you are their bloodline, you will definitely have it. It you must look into it, I am afraid you have to trace back to a long time ago." As he spoke, he let out a

    "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
