Anthony pressed himself up against Helena's body. His hot breath fanned across her face. "Hellie, I don't want to break up ..."Helena's face darkened. "Anthony, do you want me to say it out loud? Where's your dignity?"Anthony snickered. "Dignity?"Helena's heart trembled. A bitter feeling washed over her, and she shut her eyes tightly. "Let go of me, Anthony."Anthony shook his head, saying, "No. If I let go, you'll be gone."Helena felt a bit helpless, "This is my room. Where else can I go?"Anthony hesitated for a moment before releasing Helena. But he continued to hold her hand as if he was afraid she would leave.Helena turned around and saw how red Anthony's cheeks were. She frowned at him. "I don't talk to drunk people. We'll talk when you're sober."With that, she tried to pull her arm back from Anthony. But Anthony was too strong and had an iron grip on her, so Helena's effort was futile.Helena seethed through her teeth, "Anthony!""I can't let go. If I do, you wil
However, a figure suddenly appeared at the door when Helena entered the shower.The door of the hotel's shower was made from frosted glass, allowing a blurred silhouette to be visible from the other side. Helena's eyes widened, and she immediately yelled, "Anthony! You are not allowed to come in!"Anthony halted in front of the door, pausing for a moment before eventually turning away and walking off.Helena breathed a sigh of relief at this. She was afraid Anthony might barge in. If he really wanted to, the door was no match for him.Helena relaxed and started showering.The sound of water drowned out the noises from outside. Helena had her back to the door and was lathering shower gel on her body. She suddenly sensed something and turned around. She immediately saw Anthony standing by the door, staring at her directly.Helena screamed and tried to find something to wrap herself in. Alas, the bath towel was at the door!"Anthony! Get out!" Helena's face turned red as she loo
Helena jumped back into bed when she saw the figure lying on the floor. She almost pissed herself!"Anthony! Didn't you promise me you wouldn't sneak in? Why didn't you keep your promise?" shrieked Helena.Anthony instantly woke up after being stepped on by Helena. He stared at her pale face and was at a loss for words. He looked at her worriedly. "Hellie ... I'm sorry ... "Helena's frustration and anger reached a breaking point as she grabbed a nearby pillow and hurled it toward Anthony. Clutching her hair in frustration, she confronted him. "Anthony, do you know the type of people I hate the most? Those who don't respect boundaries and break their promises! You kept crossing my limits! Stop making me hate you!"Anthony paled and grew stiff at her words. "I won't disobey you again ... "With that, he turned around and hurriedly left the bedroom.Helena was angry and didn't even look at him the whole time.However, she did see how lost he was, causing her to grow even more irri
Solomon smiled lightly as he explained, "I just came from college."Helena froze at that. "Didn't you say you didn't have class today?""I didn't know my class was canceled until I showed up." Solomon's expression remained faint.Helena was taken aback, but she didn't ask any more questions. After all, this was his privacy. They weren't close enough to pry into each other's personal matters. Helena rose from her seat and offered a subtle smile to Solomon as she suggested, "Since we have time now, let's start." "Sure." Solomon nodded and followed her.However, as they made their way out of the café, Solomon's gaze shifted towards the side. Simultaneously, a figure swiftly ducked out of sight behind the nearby corner.Something flashed across Solomon's eyes, but it disappeared just as quickly.Helena went upstairs to look at some clothes. Solomon trailed behind her the entire time, acting like a human clothes hanger.When Helena laid eyes on an extremely beautiful yet sexy dre
Anthony's brows knitted tightly together.…Helena and Solomon ventured into another clothing store, yet Helena merely browsed their selections without the motivation to actually try anything on.Solomon noticed Helena's distraction and spoke warmly, "I know of a dessert house nearby. Do you want to give it a try?"Helena turned quizzically to face him with her brows furrowed and asked, "How did you know?"Solomon grinned and added, "Many students enjoy going there, and I've heard them mention it a few times as well.""Is that so?" Helena nodded absentmindedly. "Well, then let's go and check it out.""Sure." Solomon opened the door for Helena in a very gentlemanly manner.Helena took the lead and walked out. There was a faint trace of coldness in her eyes.She had a fondness for desserts. While those around her knew about her sweet tooth, she wondered how a stranger she had just met could also know about it. Was it merely a coincidence?Helena pushed back her doubts and got i
"It's all in the past now. I never expected to meet you here; approaching you was just on a whim. If you feel uncomfortable with it, we can end it here."Solomon let out a long sigh, his gaze resting calmly upon Helena. Helena blinked. "Where's your sincerity?""What?" Solomon froze."I was listening to the story with great interest, yet you left me on a cliffhanger. Do you know how despicable you are being?" Helena furrowed her brows at him.Eagerly awaiting for his next words in the story, she was disappointed when he veered off-topic and ceased talking altogether. She couldn't help but wonder if he was simply too afraid to continue. Solomon remained frozen, his frustration building in response to her words. "Are you saying you can't remember what you said yourself?"Helena hesitated. "I've said many things in my life. Are you expecting me to remember every word that ever came out of my mouth?"Solomon let out an exasperated groan, thinking to himself, "Fine, she can afford
Anthony stared at Solomon coldly. "There's more than meets the eye with you. Why did you approach her?"Anthony's eyes bore a frigid chill, and their icy gaze locked on Solomon. Tension etched his face, making it evident that he regarded the latter as his arch-nemesis. Solomon's brow furrowed deeper, feeling as though his arms might crumble under Anthony's grip. But he remained calm. "My purpose? Well, she's pretty," he replied.Anthony gritted his teeth.The atmosphere within the dessert house grew increasingly tense, causing a palpable unease among the staff members. They didn't know how to react.Helena butted in, "Let's bring this outside. You're disrupting their business."Anthony's eyes flickered at her words before he let go of Solomon's arm.The three of them walked out of the dessert house.Although the blazing sun was glaring down at them, the air between them was bone-chilling.Solomon looked at Helena's tightly knitted brows. "Why don't you find a place to rest fo
Solomon fell silent.He laughed helplessly and nodded. "Fine. It's my treat."Helena clapped her hands gleefully and said, "It's a deal. Let's go eat."Solomon smiled at her. There was a new emotion swirling within his gaze. He didn't even realize it himself.After lunch, Helena went back to the hotel to rest. She never planned to stay with Solomon all day.After all, his hourly pay was quite expensive.Back at the hotel, Helena sat on the couch and stared blankly ahead. She was deep in thought.Just then, the doorbell rang.Helena was startled. She walked to the door, looked through the peephole, and saw Anthony standing outside. He was staring at the peephole blankly as if he could see Helena through it.Helena froze. She swung the door open and sighed helplessly at him. "What's the point in pestering me, Anthony? Do I have to make this a nasty breakup?"Anthony's gaze remained fixed on her as he spoke earnestly, "I came here just to check on you. I'm relieved that you're o
The bed was also adorned in striking white. Margot's bridal gown gradually slipped off, and her hair spread out behind her on the bed. Her smooth skin shone beneath the dazzling light.Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, you have to spend the rest of your life making up for your lies.""Okay," Margot agreed without hesitation.The temperature in the room rose, and the night had just begun.It was as Tamara said. Because of their tragic past, the heavens decided to bless them in this life. They lived happily ever after from that day onward.Benjamin successfully inherited the Inkling Corporation. A year later, Margot gave birth to a daughter. She resembled Benjamin and was as beautiful as a doll.Their little girl grew up in a loving family, and the love between Margot and Benjamin only grew with time. They developed Nammu Bay, transforming it into a popular tourist destination.Another year passed, and Tamara and Sebastian got married. The wedding was almost identical to the one fr
The newlywed walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.The wedding hall was also well-decorated. Shane, Trevor, Jacob, and Alex sat in the front row.The host congratulated the couple, and after the couple exchanged rings, the crowd erupted in cheers. The wedding went past quickly. And when Margot was led to her bridal room, she was still very much in a daze.Because of Margot's condition, she had to leave early and let Benjamin deal with the guests alone.As time passed, Margot grew more and more anxious. But she didn't dare move a muscle. Benjamin had told her to keep the veil on and wait for him.Margot had never been this obedient before. But she had no choice. Disobeying wouldn't do. What if her husband ran away?Just then, the door opened. Margot's heart tightened, and she immediately went tense in anticipation.A faint stench of alcohol wafted over, and she saw his shoes from under the veil.He was standing before her but made no move to greet her.Margot couldn't help
When the others saw Benjamin standing still in a daze, they all asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did he stop?""What is he thinking about?""Did he lose his mind because he was too excited to meet his bride?"Someone made a joke, and others burst into laughter.Downstairs, Sebastian exchanged looks with Tamara, who was upstairs. His gaze returned to Benjamin.The wedding had been going on smoothly. But it seemed that Benjamin's memories might be their biggest challenge.Now that Benjamin had recovered his memories, what would he do next?However, Benjamin quickly came back to his senses. He walked forward calmly until he reached the door. As his gaze swept over Tamara and Natasha, a small smile appeared on his face.Tamara piped up, "Mr. Inkling, Nat and I had planned to set up some challenges for you. However, considering the hardships you and Margot have gone through, those challenges seem trivial in front of you. So, I thought, why not give you a clear path that led
"Shit! Isn't that too ruthless?""Leave it to the four Moore brothers to pull this trick!""Stop standing around and start drinking!"Benjamin watched on without any change in expression. He turned to the last row of men and smiled. "I'll leave the first round to you."Those men were all eager to try. They rolled up their sleeves and loosened their ties, their eyes gleaming with excitement.Benjamin made room for them, and they eagerly stepped forward. They picked up the glasses and downed them in one gulp."Let's go!" The cheers that erupted motivated them further. But despite their fierce drinking, they were no match for the abundant alcohol. When they looked up, they found that they were only halfway through. Some of them were already feeling tipsy!Sunlight spilled onto the drinks. A gentle breeze caused ripples on the liquid, resembling scattered stars.The men noticed the entrance was within arm's reach, and they gritted their teeth to endure the torture.Harris was th
The morning sunlight bathed the earth, casting a brilliant glow on every corner of Simmons Residence. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. In the room, the styling team was already in position. They first helped Margot into the wedding gown and began styling her hair.Although Margot never decided on her bridal makeup, she did try each style. To surprise her, Benjamin accompanied her to try out the bridal makeup but kept the final choice from her.Now, dressed in the beautiful wedding gown, Margot remembered the makeup styles she had tried before, and a smile graced her face. Tamara and Natasha also changed into their bridesmaid dresses. The makeup artist was working on them when Alex walked in with a gentle smile. "Have you done your preparation for the challenges?"Tamara gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't let them take your daughter away easily."Alex giggled. "That won't do. We have to see if Margot agrees."Margot immediately exclaimed, "I'm all in favor!"
"You're right!" Tamara exclaimed, and the three women chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.In the Inkling Manor, lights were on, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner. Wealthy young men who knew Benjamin gathered there, celebrating the night.A few people sat on the couch by the pool. There were various drinks on the table. Jack picked up a bottle and praised, "This is a good wine. It's at least 30 years old! You're going all out, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's face carried a contented smile. "It's my big day, so let's all have a good time together."Jack gave him a thumbs up. "You're very generous, Mr. Inkling."The others laughed along.Benjamin turned to Sebastian and suddenly smiled. "Why are you so calm? When we go over tomorrow, I wonder what challenges Tamara has for you."Sebastian calmly muttered, "She'll only cause trouble for you."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "You're quite confident. I can't wait to see you eat your words tomorrow."Sebastian shrugg
Margot responded, "Yes, but I believe he will recover his memory soon."Joseph chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he does recover his memory. He loves you either way."A sweet smile appeared on Margot's face.He was right. Benjamin loved her with or without his memories. Nothing could ever change that.Joseph gazed at Margot for a while before shifting his gaze away. He turned to the night sky outside. "It seems that tonight will be a special one."Margot looked at him. "Do you have any plans for the future, Joseph?"Joseph smiled. "I will work for Moore Corporation. After all, I'm the only one in our family who studied business."Margot's eyes flickered. Joseph's life was still the same as in her past life. He would still manage Moore Corporation while the other brothers shine in their respective fields."That's great! I'll have a powerful backer now. I can just mention your name if someone bullies me. As the cousin of the Moore Corporation's president, no one would dare lay thei
Margot reached out to touch the wedding gown, feeling the expensive fabric. Every stitch and thread carried Benjamin's love for her. She looked up at Tamara. "I'm scared, Tammy."Tamara seemed to know what she was afraid of and hugged her close. "Don't be. This is real. It's really happening.Tears welled up in Margot's eyes. Tamara understood her the best. She feared this was just a dream, an illusion she would wake up from. There was no rebirth, cat-and-mouse games, or Nammu Bay destruction. Everything was just a trick her mind had made up.After all this time, Margot finally felt fear.She held onto Tamara tightly. Even when tears streamed down, Margot didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would return to a cold room if she did, a world without him.Tamara gently stroked her back. "Hold me tight, Margot. I'm real. You've felt the wedding dress. That's real, too. Nothing is an illusion. It was all real."Margot finally calmed down. She suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sorry about
"I do! I do want to be your daughter," Margot hurriedly exclaimed. She looked flustered. "I was just a bit overwhelmed. I never expected this. Aunt Alex, I …"Tamara laughed. "Since you're now her daughter, why aren't you referring to her as your mom?"Margot felt even more embarrassed!She grew up in an orphanage and had little concept of parental love. Although she had fantasized about having a mother like Tamara's, it was just a dream. She didn't have a mother. That was why she felt close to Alex. With Alex officially adopting Margot as her daughter, Margot gained a mother from that point onward.Margot's eyes watered. No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.Seeing this, Alex quickly took out tissues to wipe them away. "Don't cry. You'll get wrinkles if you cry."But the comforting words only made it worse.Margot threw herself into Alex's arms.Alex comforted Margot patiently, her eyes also glossing over.However, Jacob fr
