"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
Camilla was instantly stunned. She looked at him incredulously, her eyelashes trembling slightly as she processed his words. Her grip on her spoon tightened."Wow …" Thomas grinned meaningfully at Jayden. "Uncle Jay, how did you know that Ms. Camilla doesn't like fish? Could it be that you two …?"His playful demeanor brought joy to those around him.Jayden chuckled at him. "Seems like you're quite the expert in this area. What's the matter? Do you have a crush on someone?"Thomas immediately put on a serious look. "Uncle Jay, please refrain from making unfounded comments. I'm still young."Jayden laughed heartily. "That means you do, then."Thomas shook his head defensively. "You're making things up. I really don't.""I can testify," Caleb said, raising his hand. "Thomas doesn't have a crush. In fact, the girls in our class dislike him because they think he's not good at studying."Thomas groaned and lamented inwardly, "That hurts, little bro."Jayden couldn't help but laugh
Thomas immediately shut his mouth and gazed up at Jayden with puppy eyes. He looked like he was biting back words.After dinner, the three children gathered in the garden outside the manor, enjoying the cool breeze in the pavilion."What should we do now? There seems to be some conflict between Uncle Jay and Ms. Camilla," Thomas furrowed his brows, expressing his concerns.Caleb pondered for a moment. "I think Uncle Jay might have some misunderstanding about Ms. Camilla."Just then, Melanie chirped in, "Why don't we ask Mommy?""Sounds good." Thomas decisively pulled out his phone and called their mother.They couldn't solve it on their own. They needed help.The call connected quickly, and Tamara's beautiful face appeared on the screen. Her voice was soft, like butter. "Thomas, what's wrong?"Thomas proceeded to explain the current situation and dilemma to Tamara."Mommy, what should we do now? Uncle Jay and Ms. Camilla seem to have a strained relationship." Thomas asked afte
Camilla's brows furrowed. "Mr. Dashner, that's my freedom."Simon hummed thoughtfully, trying to understand why she seemed to be in a bad mood today."Fine." Simon tossed the revealing swimsuit aside and handed her a conservative one-piece swimsuit. "This should be fine, right?"Camilla glanced at it. The one-piece swimsuit had long sleeves and a skirt. It looked very modest. She looked at Simon with surprise.Simon smirked. "I knew you wouldn't wear a bikini, so I prepared this for you. How about it? Isn't your boss considerate?"Camilla hadn't expected him to prepare two sets of swimsuits. She took the modest swimsuit and stuffed it into the bag with an indifferent expression. "Thank you."Simon pointed to a row of swim trunks. "Come, help me decide."Camilla scanned the swim trunks and casually pointed to the one with longer leg coverings. "This one.""Okay, this one it is." Simon took the swim trunks and put them in the bag. "Let's go. We're leaving now.""Okay," Camilla h
Realization washed over Camilla, causing her expression to contort with anger. She turned to look at Dorothy, who was smiling at her."The drink …" Camilla's eyes darted toward the orange juice placed beside her.Dorothy stood up and walked over. "You seem unwell. Let me take you somewhere safer to rest."Dorothy took hold of Camilla's arm as she spoke and supported her as they walked out."Don't … don't touch me!" Camilla struggled, but she was completely weak. She could barely stand with Dorothy's support. Her cheeks turned red, and she looked angry.Dorothy cooed, "Stop struggling. You were brought here by Mr. Dasner. Without his permission, who dares to lay their hands on you?""Simon … Did Simon allow this? Why would he do this?" Camilla questioned herself. Camilla's consciousness gradually blurred, and she could only stand with Dorothy's help. A chill crept down her spine as she thought about that nonchalant, wicked man with a perpetual smirk adorning his face.Initially
Simon did like Camilla, but the woman never appreciated his kindness. He felt like he needed to do something about it. That was why he had agreed to the pool party. Well, it was less of a party and more of a transaction. In the world of fame and fortune, matters that could be solved by using women were straightforward and nice in a wicked sense. Mr. Jacobs's establishment was ripe for the taking, and Simon was not someone who let their prey get away that easily, which was why Simon had brought Camilla here. But there was another reason … Simon looked towards Mr. Jacobs, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He wanted to test how much he truly liked Camilla. Did he like her enough to give up on his prey? If not, then he wouldn't waste any more thoughts on Camilla. But if that was the case, then he would treat her even better until she willingly opened her heart to him. Simon believed that his plan was perfect. But at that moment, Dorothy hurriedly ran over. "Ms. C
"Hello?" A deep and gentle voice came through the phone.Camilla thought she was hallucinating. Why else would she hear Jayden's voice here?Camilla's gaze grew hazy, and she hugged herself tightly, ignoring the voice."Hello?" The voice sounded again. It sounded gentle yet detached."Jayden …" Camilla murmured his name, her voice incredibly weak and hoarse. She gave a bitter smile. "Why are you here?""Camilla? What happened to you?" The man's voice grew serious.Camilla didn't continue. Her mind had succumbed to the drug, leaving only her most primal needs with her.Fortunately, the storage room was small and devoid of light. She wouldn't cause any trouble by staying there.Jayden's voice kept coming through the phone, but he could only hear heavy breathing from her.Jayden held his phone with a grim expression. He glanced at the unfamiliar phone number before swiftly walking to his study to track down the number. He managed to track it, and it wasn't far from here. He hung
At the entrance of the supermarket.The supermarket owner looked at the crowd at the entrance and was immediately frightened. "Who are you people?"Simon asked bluntly, "Did a soaking wet woman come in? She was wearing a swimsuit?"The owner had never been in such a situation before and was scared mindless. "Yes …"The owner pondered, "Who is that woman exactly? First, she called the police. Then, two men came in looking for her. And now, a whole group of people are looking for her. Is she some kind of fugitive?"The supermarket owner began to regret letting Camilla seek refuge at his place. "Where is she?" Simon asked concisely."In the storage room …" the owner stammered.Five minutes ago.Camilla lay on the cold floor, breathing heavily. Her body temperature was abnormal, and she was groping herself as if searching for something out of place.Suddenly, the storage room door opened, and light poured in. Camilla was startled by the sudden light. Her consciousness recovered
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
