The head nurse turned and walked away.However, Kara was still glaring at Camilla's retreating figure as she left with the director. Kara thought to herself, "It's not fair! Why is she the one who caught Jayden's attention? Jayden is the noble second son of the Moore family! And Camilla? She's just a nobody! She doesn't deserve Jayden!"Kara clenched her fists tightly by her side. Camilla can't be Jayden's woman. She wouldn't allow it! Jayden was hers and hers alone!… Outside the ward.Stamford smiled at Camilla and said, "This is Mr. Moore's ward, Ms. West. Please, go on in."Camilla nodded and asked, "Why are you helping me?"The director hesitated briefly before answering, "It was an order from the Miss. She ordered us to treat you with the utmost respect whenever you're around and that I must personally receive you. Not to mention, any request you have must be fulfilled unconditionally.""The Miss?" Those two words echoed in Camilla's mind. This hospital belonged to M
"You came just to take care of me?" Jayden stared deep into Camilla's eyes as if trying to read her mind. Camilla was caught off guard by his question. "What do you mean?"The corners of Jayden's lips quirked upwards as he stated, "You're obsessed with money. You must have some ulterior motive in taking care of me, right? I might need to stay in the hospital for a week. How much will it cost for you to take care of me for a week?"Camilla turned pale instantly. She was still inches away from him and could feel his gentle breath brushing against her face. His handsome face was right in front of her.She looked at him in disbelief, the colors gradually draining from her face. "Is that how you view me, Jayden?"Jayden cocked a brow and castigated her. "How else am I supposed to view you? You initially approached me for money, didn't you?"Camilla pressed her lips tightly together and pulled her hand away. She turned, preparing to leave. Jayden's low and gentle voice rang out, "
Camilla completely ignored Kara. She spun around and headed for the train station. However, Kara persisted. "What are you trying to achieve, Camilla? You're better off with someone else. You're simply not worthy of Mr. Moore."Camilla turned around abruptly, her icy gaze fixed on Kara. "Are you done?"Kara stiffened. "You …""If you keep on babbling, I'll shut your mouth for you. Feel free to test me," Camilla spoke coldly. With that, she turned around and walked away briskly.She didn't have the patience to deal with Kara right now. She needed some peace and quiet. She needed to seriously consider her relationship with Jayden. Seeking him out had been a mistake. Emotions shouldn't be her main driving force in life.Since she couldn't simply brush off her feelings for Jayden, she decided to bury them instead. Right now, her younger brother needed money for treatment, and she had to repay Josephine's debt.Camilla sat on the train, her gaze lowered, lost in her thoughts.A v
Camilla bumped into Kara when she returned to the research institute, but neither of them mentioned what happened at the hospital. Camilla didn't want to bring it up, while Kara was afraid of her.Meanwhile, Kara was surrounded by several girls who were asking about Jayden's well-being."Kara, didn't you say you were going to take care of Mr. Moore? Why are you back so early?" One of the girls asked in confusion.Kara's face fell, and she grew defensive. "Do you have any idea who Mr. Moore is? Of course, the Moore family would hire professional caretakers to look after him. It's not like I'm an expert in that area. So, I came back early."The girl narrowed her eyes at Kara with suspicion. "Why do I have a feeling you're lying? Did Mr. Moore chase you away?"Kara's face darkened. "What the fuck are you talking about? Have you never seen how nice Mr. Moore treats me?"She suddenly caught a glimpse of Camilla and sneered sarcastically, "I'm not like a certain someone who shamelessly
Camilla stared at Scott, her mind in a daze. Shouldn't she just give up?She had tried again and again to make a heartfelt connection with Jayden, only to be met with his indifference and heartlessness.Jayden treated her as nothing more than a mere object for pleasure. To him, how could an inanimate thing possess emotions?Camilla withdrew her gaze and responded calmly, "I appreciate your insightful words. However, I have already made up my mind. You are also highly competent yourself. I'll entrust this experiment to you. I have faith in your ability to excel."Scott wanted to argue, but from the look on Camilla's face, he knew she was done with the conversation. Anxiousness clouded his expression.He returned to his seat and promptly sent a text to Jayden, saying, "Mr. Moore, Camilla has just informed the counselor of her intention to leave the research institute. What should we do? She's so talented. If she leaves, it would be a loss for our institute."Scott anxiously wai
Camilla froze. "I'm sorry, I have another part-time job I need to rush to. I'm afraid I can't have dinner with you."Scott was taken aback. He glanced at the time and remarked, "It's almost midnight. What job could you possibly have at this hour?"Camilla snapped, "That's none of your business."Scott grimaced at her reply. But he knew this was just how Camilla was and didn't take it to heart. He sighed pitifully, "Well, okay. But I hope we can have dinner together in the future."Camilla hummed in acknowledgment before she headed for the train station. She called Simon on her way there."Hello? Are you done with your work?" Simon's casual voice came through the phone.Camilla nodded and said, "I'm sorry for coming in late today, Mr. Dashner. Where are you now?"Simon chuckled, "I'll send you my location.""Alright," Camilla responded.After hanging up the phone, Camilla quickly walked towards the train station. Scott, who was behind her, overheard her conversation. He could
The atmosphere in the private lounge grew tense at the man's words.Camilla's face fell as she turned to look at the man who had been gazing at her unabashedly.Panicked swept over her, and she turned to Simon.What would he do?To him, she was just an assistant of no importance. Her fate was in his hands.Would he really agree to it?Simon took a drag of his cigarette and snuffed it out in the ashtray. He chuckled softly and retorted, "Just two establishments? Do you really think she's worth that little?"The man laughed in response. "I can tell how important this woman is to you, Mr. Dashner. But this just makes me even more eager to have her. What are your demands? I'll give you any establishment you want."Camilla's face turned pale, and her lips thinned into a line at Simon. She wanted to defend herself but found herself at a loss for words.She was burdened by a substantial debt, and working as Simon's assistant was merely a means to repay him. He held power over her unt
Camilla was taken aback. "I know how well you've been treating me. Even so, why must I allow you to touch me? Our relationship is strictly professional, after all."Simon grew silent. After a moment, he muttered under his breath, "Fuck this shit!" He lit his cigarette and took a long drag, allowing the strong nicotine to fill his mouth and lungs. It helped ease his restlessness a little. He narrowed his eyes at Camilla. As his gaze swept over her, he suddenly had an idea. He needed to verify something. After all, he, Simon Dashner, had never lost to a woman before!Camilla didn't know what he was thinking, but she didn't think she was wrong. She lowered her gaze and maintained a calm expression.Simon shifted his gaze away and stood up. "Let's go. I have this place that I would like to show you." He pushed open the door of the private lounge and walked out. Camilla trailed behind him even though she didn't actually want to follow him. This place was a nightmare for h
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
