Joseph rolled his eyes at Tamara and said, "I'm not going to tell you."Tamara became even more curious. She grinned widely at Joseph's expression. "Alright then. Since you won't tell me, I'll ask Kimberly directly. It just so happens that I have her number."Upon hearing this, Joseph's eyes widened in surprise. "Do you just have everyone's numbers?"Tamara smiled faintly. "There's no way around it. After all, all these people have the potential to become my sisters-in-law."First, there was Camilla, then Kimberly, and later, Natalie.These brothers of hers were something. It never rained; it poured when it came to them, especially when it came to her eldest brother. He even got married behind their backs. Moreover, Jonathan and Cheryl didn't know it yet. The rest of them had yet to formally meet her too. No one knew what Jason was thinking.The corners of Joseph's mouth twitched. "Even if you ask her, you won't be able to dig out any information from her. I'm not interested in h
Refusing to release his hand, Tamara allowed Sebastian to keep his hold on her. His mannerisms showed that he had already ventured deep into his dream state. Tamara couldn't help but smile faintly. This indicated that her newest scented tea leaves were a success. After he wakes up, she could ask him about his experience.As time ticked away, Tamara remained vigilant by Sebastian's bedside, her hand still firmly clasped in his, as she observed the subtle changes in his expression.Suddenly, Sebastian's eyes snapped open."You're awake. How do you feel?" Tamara asked eagerly.Sebastian sat up. His eyes were tinged with a hint of fatigue, but it quickly disappeared.He gazed into Tamara's bright eyes and suddenly sighed."What's wrong?" Tamara became even more puzzled. "What did you dream about?"What was he thinking about before entering the dream?Sebastian's lips curled slightly. "I dreamt that you were wearing the clothes I bought for you.""What?" Tamara became even more c
"You'll know it when you see it," Sebastian smirked. He leaned in, his warm breath fanning against Tamara's ear. "I'd rather see it on you."Tamara's body stiffened. She could guess what was inside that bag. However, she was curious about what Sebastian dreamt about. So, she took the bag and opened it.After taking out the contents, she discovered that it was actually a set of clothes. The corners of Tamara's mouth twitched. Rather than calling them clothes, it was more like a fishing net! There were various holes in the clothes ...Tamara's face flushed red. She grabbed the clothes and threw them back at Sebastian. "Didn't I tell you to get rid of all these things?"Sebastian observed her angry expression and cocked a brow. "You only mentioned getting rid of those uniforms. You didn't say anything about getting rid of this."Tamara's face grew even redder. She spun around and stormed out of the walk-in closet. In fact, she left the manor altogether. The gentle breeze caress
Kimberly froze, not expecting Joseph to say that. She grabbed her skirt. She felt both humiliated and embarrassed. Yet, despite how awkward it was, she refused to leave."Is ... is this really how you feel?" Kimberly's voice trembled. She looked up at Joseph with glistening eyes.Joseph sighed. "Miss Lore, we are all adults here. I don't want to make things uglier than it has to be."He couldn't be any clearer with his feelings.He simply didn't like her.Kimberly bit her lip. She should have known earlier. He had been avoiding her all this time. Wasn't that an explanation in itself?However, there was something she couldn't wrap her head around. Why wasn't she enough? Why didn't he like her?"I want to know ..." Kimberly trailed off. She took a deep breath and forced a sweet smile. "I understand."She didn't want to know.She knew she wouldn't like the answer.She was the daughter of the Lore family, noble and distinguished. Why should she humiliate herself in front of him?
"He's right, Mr. Moore. It's a pleasure to have you here with us tonight!""Please have a seat, Mr. Moore."Everyone in the private lounge stood up and smiled obsequiously at Joseph—all except for one person.Kimberly widened her eyes at Joseph in disbelief. She was not expecting to run into him here.Joseph also noticed her. His brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't comment on it. Where she went had nothing to do with him.Once seated, the individuals in attendance initiated a conversation, discussing a piece of land that had captured the interest of many, and the Moore Corporation was one of them.It seemed that the Lore Corporation had also set its sight on the land, or they wouldn't have sent Kimberly.However, they were in a seedy place. Why did the Lore family send a delicate girl like Kimberly here?Joseph had a bad feeling about this."Mr. Moore, there is a considerable interest in this land from multiple parties. How about we all come together and develop it? We mi
The people in the lounge all turned to Joseph in shock.Joseph stood up and grabbed Kimberly's wrist, pulling her out of the lounge.Holden's angry roars could be heard from behind them, but they faded into silence soon....Outside the hotel.The night breeze felt warm today. Joseph released Kimberly and looked at her strangely. "How desperate is the Lore family that they would send a lady like you to meet up with clients?"Kimberly was still pale, but her eyes were glossy as she stared up at Joseph. "Why did you help me?"Joseph furrowed his brows. "Answer my question!"Kimberly shrank back slightly. "I just wanted to test myself. After all, I'm as clueless as a baby right now."Joseph sneered, "Going out with clients isn't the way to go. You should start from the bottom of the Lore Corporation's hierarchy instead.""But that would take too long … " Kimberly whispered."What did you say?" Joseph couldn't hear her clearly and leaned closer.Their distance suddenly closed.
The marriage between Helena and Anthony had been put on hold for now. Sebastian and Tamara have started preparing to return to Londsville with the Moore family.The three children grew excited after learning that they would be visiting their great-grandmother in Londsville. They hadn't seen her in a long time."Mommy, why does Great-Grandma always live in Londsville?" asked Caleb, who was standing beside Tamara.Melanie also gave Tamara a look of curiosity.Only Thomas sat alone on the couch, engrossed in his phone. "Come on! Push forward! Heal! Heal me! He's about to lose!"Tamara glanced at Thomas and then turned to the other two. "Because your grandmother used to live in Londsville. Grandma is Great-Grandma's daughter, and Great-Grandma misses her, so she now lives in Londsville."Caleb hummed and nodded in understanding.Melanie also nodded and said, "I miss Grandma too."Tamara was taken aback. She pinched Melanie's face. "But you have never met Grandma. Why do you miss he
Only then did Jordan release him. As he looked at Sebastian and Tamara, a gentle smile graced his otherwise cold face. "Isn't it great that Tammy is happy?"Joseph shrugged and replied, "It is, but they've been smothering us with PDA all the time while they were staying over."Jordan stared blankly at Joseph. "Then you should find someone yourself."Joseph paused momentarily before retorting, "I would rather watch whatever they're doing."Jordan sighed. He spun on his heels and returned to his seat.After a three-hour flight, the plane landed safely. They got into the car and headed to the Simmons residence in Londsville. They had informed Old Mrs. Moore of their visit. By the time they arrived, various fruits and snacks had already been prepared for them."Great-Grandma!" The three children greeted in unison when they saw Old Mrs. Moore."Thomas, Caleb, Melly, you've all grown taller." Old Mrs. Moore smiled dotingly at them and patted their heads."Yes, we've all grown ta
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
