Sabrina's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Simon. "Why are you doing this, Mr. Dashner? I love you! Our families are even discussing our marriage! Why would you do this to me?"Simon took another drag of his cigarette, a contemptuous sneer forming on his lips. "Many women have spoken about marriage with me. Who do you think you are? Just because you mentioned marriage a few times, you think you have a chance?"Sabrina stared up at him in shock. "Mr. Dashner, you …"Simon walked up to her, cigarette in hand, and pressed it onto her face. "I don't mind you having feelings for me, but I despise people meddling in my life. You shouldn't have touched her."A piercing scream echoed in the room as the cigarette burned Sabrina's face—the smell of burnt flesh filled the air.Simon pushed her face away and carefully took out a tissue to wipe his fingers as if he had touched something dirty.Sabrina screamed in pain and tried to cover her face. But the bodyguards held her hands, l
Camilla widened her eyes in fear and forcefully pushed him away.Simon, surprisingly, didn't attempt to force himself upon her and instead allowed himself to be pushed back. A wicked smile played across his lips as he touched them lightly. "You really do love him."Camilla stood in the corner of the elevator and stared at him cautiously. "Mr. Dashner, from the very beginning, we agreed that I would only be your assistant. You assured me that you wouldn't coerce me into doing things I am uncomfortable with."Simon chuckled, "Yes, I remember."Camilla furrowed her brows. The look on her face says it all. If he remembered, why did he still go for it?Simon seemed to have read her thoughts. His eyes darkened as he remarked, "Camilla, think carefully about why I kept you by my side. Many women would want to be my assistant, yet I agreed to your ridiculous debt repayment method."As the elevator doors opened, Simon turned around and walked out. "Go home."Camilla stepped out of the el
Kylie huffed, "Don't you know that children from wealthy families start receiving education at the age of three? It's normal to hire a tutor for five or six-year-olds. Camilla, I contacted you specifically about this. You get to earn three thousand dollars per hour for two hours a day.""The pay is that high?" Camilla blurted out.Kylie laughed heartedly. "Because the family has three children. Can you handle all three of them at the same time?"Handling three five or six-year-old children was not an easy task for someone without the necessary capabilities.But the thought of earning three thousand dollars per hour, meaning a total of six thousand dollars per day, meant she would be able to quickly repay the five hundred thousand dollars debt."Okay, I'll do it." Camilla nodded and agreed.Kylie smiled to herself. "Then I'll send you the address. You can head over directly. Those three children are quite peculiar. You will need to pass their test if you want to stay. Good luck."
The next day, precisely at 8 am, Camilla stood at the manor's entrance and rang the doorbell. Shortly after, a maid appeared, her face marked by gray hair and the lines of a life well-lived. Nevertheless, her kind smile welcomed the guest. "You must be Ms. Camilla," the maid said, her voice warm and inviting. Camilla nodded in affirmation. "That's correct." The maid's smile widened. "No need for formalities, Ms. Camilla. Just call me Ms. Thompson."Camilla nodded. "Good day, Ms. Thompson."Ms. Thompson nodded and led Camilla into the manor."Ms. Camilla, the children are in their room. You can head directly there," Ms. Thompson informed with a smile, guiding Camilla toward the staircase.Camilla nodded in acknowledgment. "Okay."She then headed upstairs.Upon reaching the top floor, Camilla noticed an open door. She walked over and glanced inside, only to see three familiar children sitting on chairs, whispering to each other."Hello," Camilla knocked on the door and greet
Two hours later, Camilla looked at the three children, and her tone softened. "I've assigned you some homework. I hope you'll have it completed by tomorrow.""Not a problem," Thomas said confidently.Caleb froze slightly but still nodded nevertheless. "I promise to complete the task!"Melanie spoke softly. "I will finish it, Ms. Camilla."Camilla's heart warmed at their responses. She turned and left the room, feeling a sense of satisfaction. As she descended the stairs, Ms. Thompson noticed Camilla and immediately asked, "How did it go, Ms. Camilla?"Camilla smiled, a sense of contentment evident on her face. "It went well."Ms. Thompson nodded with a smile. "The children are actually very well-behaved and won't play tricks on anyone.""I see." Camilla nodded. Then, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Ms. Thompson, why haven't I seen the children's parents?"A flicker of something flashed across Ms. Thompson's eyes. "The children's parents are busy with work. They
Camilla was taken aback. She instinctively wanted to refuse, but the inexplicable sense of familiarity that these children gave her made her want to investigate further."Okay," Camilla nodded and agreed."Yes! That's great! Uncle Jay's … I mean, Ms. Camilla is staying for dinner!" Melanie immediately cheered, almost slipping up.Thomas glanced at Melanie and gently pushed her shoulder. "Go tell Ms. Thompson our tutor is staying over for lunch. She'll surely instruct the chef to prepare some delicious food for us.""Alright," Melanie agreed and quickly went downstairs.However, Camilla had overheard Melanie's slip of the tongue. Questions ran through her head. "Uncle Jay? Who is Melanie referring to? It couldn't be him, right?"Just then, a strange feeling crossed her mind.All of a sudden, she felt someone pulling on her hand. She lowered her gaze and saw Caleb looking up at her.Camilla's heart instantly melted at his expression, and she leaned down. "What's wrong, Caleb?"
Upstairs, Camilla had just finished explaining the problem to Caleb. "How about now? Do you understand?"Caleb nodded. "I understand now. You're amazing, Ms. Camilla."Camilla smiled. Her usually indifferent face brightened up, becoming more radiant and captivating. "Ms. Camilla, you look beautiful when you smile. You should smile more," Caleb said earnestly. The corners of Camilla's lips quirked up. "Mhm. I'll take your advice."She glanced at her watch. "It's time for lunch. Let's head downstairs.""Okay," Caleb agreed. He had successfully distracted Camilla enough for her to forget about Melanie's slip-up.As they were about to go downstairs, Melanie ran up to them."Melly, what's wrong?" Camilla asked softly.Melanie blinked up at her. "Ms. Camilla, have you solved the problem?""Yes." Camilla nodded. "Do you need something?"Melanie came closer and held her hand. "I want to introduce someone to you. If possible, can you teach him too?"Camilla was taken aback. "A f
"Ms. Camilla …" Caleb called out as he watched Camilla leave.However, Camilla was fast, and she had already reached the door. Thomas, Caleb, and Melanie were at a loss. Jayden smiled at them reassuringly. "I'll go and bring her back." "Uncle Jay, please make sure to bring our tutor back," Thomas immediately requested."Alright." Jayden hummed in acknowledgment. Meanwhile, at the doorway, Camilla was about to leave when Ms. Thompson approached her. "Ms. Camilla, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn't we agree to have lunch together?"Something flickered in Camilla's eyes. "I suddenly remembered I have something to take care of. I'll be taking my leave …"Just then, Jayden's low and gentle voice sounded. "Stay for lunch." Camilla's breath caught in her throat, but she didn't look at him. She repeated her words, saying, "I have something …""I know you better than anyone," Jayden said, stepping up beside Camilla. He glanced at Ms. Thompson, who tactfully left the are
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
