Sebastian rushed over to support Tamara before kicking Rowena to the ground.“Ouch!” Rowena cried out in pain. When she saw the cold look on Sebastian’s face, she was engulfed by fear. “Mr. Lynch, I didn’t mean it. I merely touched her…”Sebastian’s gaze sent shivers down her spine. It was like he wanted to kill her.Sebastian retracted his gaze and looked at the frightened Tamara in his arms. He asked in a lowered voice, “Are you alright?”Tamara shook her head and looked on in gratitude. She never thought he would save her.Sebastian stated blankly, “I’m just taking care of my child. I wouldn’t have helped otherwise.”Tamara sighed. It was because of the child.She stole a glance at Rowena and noticed the hatred in her eyes.This got Tamara worried, and she instinctively put a hand over her stomach.Sebastian pulled her back to reality. “What are you waiting for?”Tamara snapped back to her senses and followed Sebastian inside.Rowena’s face soured when she saw Sebastian p
That was the only thing her mother had left for her!Her mother had gifted it to her last year on her birthday. It was a beautiful pendant.Tamara rushed to snatch it back but was pushed back by the man. “Scram!”Tamara steadied herself against the wall. She paled and hurriedly typed on her phone, “That was given to me by my mother. Give it back.”The man, however, merely chuckled cruelly. “Are you mute? Do you want it back? Pay up!”Tamara stared deeply at the man and bit her lip. She turned to Quentin and signed, “How much do you owe them?”Quentin had been following her with his eyes. After all, she was the only person who could save the Simmons family.“1.5 million dollars. Tammy, my dear sister, you have to save our family. And that pendant. It was given to you by our mother!”Tamara closed her eyes and sucked in a deep breath. She did not have that much money saved up! Never would she have thought that her family would be so deep in debt!Scarface watched the two closely
Tamara smiled. This person had contacted her a month ago to buy some scented tea to help with their insomnia. This scented tea was the newest product and was able to treat one’s insomnia.It had just been announced, and people were already trying to buy the product. However, something had happened, and she stopped making tea.Tamara walked to her room with her phone in hand. She replied: “We do. How much do you need?”At the same time, in the president’s office of ST Corporation, Sebastian was at his desk doing some paperwork.There was a sudden knock on his door.“Come in.”Sebastian’s personal assistant, Jerome Crowe, came in with a bright smile on his face. “Mr. Lynch, the tea barista responded. They’re asking how much scented tea we’d like to order.”Sebastian paused. He hinted for Jerome to pass him the tablet.Jerome sighed. “I thought the tea barista had stopped making tea. If it weren’t for the Simmons family, you’ve bought a lot more scented tea much earlier.”Sebast
When Tamara arrived at 1999, Margot was already waiting for her by the door. When she saw Tamara, she took her hand. “What’s wrong, Tammy?”Tamara nodded and explained, “My mother’s gift was taken away by a bunch of debt collectors. My family owes them 1.5 million dollars. I don’t have enough to pay them off. That’s why I came asking for your help.”“It’s okay. We’ll think of something. Come, let’s head in first.” Margot felt pity for her and brought Tamara inside.Just as the two entered, Sebastian’s car came to a stop. Looking at the place, he furrowed his eyebrows.Why was she here so late?Was she looking for her friend again?Sebastian was irritated and thought Tamara was irresponsible. She was pregnant, yet she still frequented a place like this. She did not care about him at all.Sebastian got out of the car and walked in.Margot brought Tamara to her office and gestured for her to have a seat. She observed Tamara closely. “How did your family fall into this much debt to
This was Margot’s office, and it looked as if Tamara was familiar with this place.Hadn’t she been hidden away from the world by her family? Yet, she was familiar with a place like this…Sebastian was frozen in his spot and watched as the numbers on the elevator went down. He wanted to see which floor the elevator would stop at.“What are you doing here, Sebastian?”Benjamin had just walked out of Margot’s office when he saw Sebastian standing by the elevator.Sebastian turned to him. “Did you manage to get anything out of her?”Benjamin smiled softly. “Not really. But I do know that the mixologist is a married woman.”Sebastian fell silent.Benjamin noticed his silence and said, “How’s that? Pretty good, right?”Sebastian turned his gaze to the lift. It had reached the lowest floor.Why did Tamara head there?Benjamin noticed Sebastian’s gaze and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”Sebastian pressed for the elevator and the door next to him opened. He walked in and gave Benja
“Damn it! I don’t understand sign language!” Darkness marred Sebastian’s features as he shot an unfriendly scowl at Tamara.However, the latter refused to waste her breath on him anymore. She turned on her heels and headed upstairs. “Did I say you could leave?” Sebastian’s arm instantly shot forward to grab her wrist. With a forceful yank, he pulled her into his arms.Tamara’s back crashed against Sebastian’s firm and warm chest. Once they made contact, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked a little panicked as she struggled to break free.“Know your place, Tamara! You’re here for one purpose—to birth my child! You have no authority to throw a tantrum!” Sebastian snarled icily while tightening his iron-like grip on her wrist.Rage seethed from Tamara, who glared viciously at him and thought, “Let go of me!”Only after noticing her anxious state did Sebastian finally release her.Tamara then searched the place, eventually finding a pen and some paper atop a nearby cabinet. Sh
Tamara sat on the floor in her room upstairs. Several tools were piled up beside her while a pair of safety goggles shielded her eyes. With tweezers, she gingerly placed the last scented tea leaf into a jar before letting out a long, relieved sigh. She exclaimed in her heart, “It’s finally done!” Suddenly, the door swung open, causing Tamara’s head to whip around. Her gaze immediately landed on Sebastian, who stood at the door.His presence caused her expression to darken as she stood and signed at him, “Why didn’t you knock?”Sebastian flashed a prickly look while thundering, “Type whatever you’re saying!”Tamara recalled that Sebastian did not understand sign language, so she frowned while taking out her phone to reiterate her question. She typed: “Why didn’t you knock?”“This is my home,” Sebastian replied with a dangerously low tone.Tamara’s reply was: “But this is my room!” Seeing how aggravated she was, Sebastian felt inexplicably pleased. His dark eyes were fixated on
Tamara handed the bank card to Scarface.He then passed it to his subordinate to run some verifications. It did not take long before the latter leaned closer to his ear and whispered, “There’s indeed 1.5 million dollars in here.”Scarface’s eyes narrowed as he alertly examined Tamara, who stood before him. It shocked him that she actually managed to gather that much money. Amused, something malicious flickered in his smug gaze as he said, “Little lady, my subordinate just checked, and it seems the money in your card is running a little short.”Tamara froze as her well-groomed brows drew close. It took a moment before she typed: “That’s impossible. There’s 1.5 million dollars on this card!”“Indeed. However, the 1.5 million dollars is only what your family owes. It doesn’t include the interest on your debt for the past three days,” Scarface rebuked.“This bastard! Is he trying to get more money out of me?” thought Tamara. She scowled frostily and typed: “But we agreed that you woul
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
