For now, Camilla's schedule was so packed with activities that there was barely any downtime between her tasks. Her fitness class lasted one and a half hours, and it was around 10 pm when it ended.As she emerged from the studio, Camilla looked up at the night sky and let out a tired sigh. Just then, her phone started ringing. When she pulled it out, she realized Jayden was calling. In an instant, her tired body was enveloped in a blanket of warmth. She answered the call with a relatively cheerful and bubbly tone. "Hello, Jayden." "Hey, where did you go?" His deep voice was like music to her ears. "I got bored, so I came out for a walk. Are you done with work?" Camilla asked, deliberately hiding the fact that she was attending classes. She wanted to achieve a complete makeover and surprise Jayden. "Yeah. You weren't at home when I came back. I missed you." Thus began Jayden's barrage of affection.Camilla blushed slightly at those words. She noticed the last bus approaching a
"You bitch! I'll fucking kill you!" The man was not expecting Camilla to fight back. He dug the knife deeper into her skin. If he wanted to, he could slice Camilla's throat and let her bleed out right there and then. Camilla could not see the man's face clearly. But she sure as hell could smell the disgusting stench wafting off of him. "If you let me go now, the police will only lock you up for a few days at most. But if you decide to take me as a hostage, things will not end well for you." The man spat, "Shut the fuck up and open the damn door now! Or I'll make sure to slice that pretty neck of yours!" He turned to roar at the driver, "Open the door!"The driver paled at the scene and quickly stopped the bus."Don't do it!" someone yelled. The driver froze. The man was taken aback as well. He gritted his teeth and decided to see through his threat. Just then, a hand suddenly grabbed the man's arm and twisted it. With a sickening crack, the man's arm was broken. He immediately
Ronan and Noah exchanged looks. They didn't expect an outright rejection from Camilla. When Ronan saw how similar Camilla looked to his aunt, Jenna, he attempted to request Camilla's help again. "Ms. Camilla …""It's late, so I'll be going home. Thanks for today," Camilla cut him off and left.Ronan was lost for words, while Noah sighed and said, "I have to say, her personality is similar to Aunt Jenna."Ronan frowned and asked, "Why do I feel like she's in denial?"Noah said, "It's the same for everyone. Would you be happy if someone suddenly told you your father isn't actually your father?"Ronan was rendered speechless by Noah's reply. He looked at Camilla, who was already walking away, and said with a frown, "This won't do. I can't give up. I must investigate her background. If she really is Aunt Jenna's daughter, Aunt Jenna will be cured of her long-standing anxiety." "Yes, let's investigate her together."…It was already 1 am when Camilla returned to the Moore Manor.
A man was lying motionless inside the pit. His face was pale, and he was no longer breathing. The man was the one who harassed Camilla on the bus last night, and he was dead.Camilla's face went pale, and she subconsciously took a step backward.Jayden approached Camilla and wrapped his arms around her waist. Looking at her pale face, he murmured gently, "Why didn't you tell me about what happened last night?" Camilla was startled, and she looked at Jayden. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you." However, he still found out and punished the other man by killing him. Jayden frowned. "Are you upset that I found out about this?""No." Camilla shook her head.Jayden hugged her and said gently, "I won't forgive anyone who has hurt you, Camilla. I will protect you."Camilla was touched and looked at Jayden. Under the morning sun, his handsome face exuded warmth and charm. However, the way he dealt with things was so cruel, unlike anything she had ever witnessed. It
"Fine." Scott chuckled wryly because he knew Camilla did not want to say more and tried to change the subject. "Camilla, did you just get off work? Why don't we have dinner together?" Camilla shook her head and said, "No, thanks. I still have things to do. Let's do that another day."Scott was disappointed. "Alright, let's have a meal when you are free."Camilla acknowledged what he said and walked toward the bus stop without noticing his disappointment. Scott watched her retreating figure with narrowed eyes and murmured, "What is she going to do in the future if such little stimulation can shake her up so much?" …When Camilla returned after her studies, she saw Jayden sitting on the couch in the living room. It seemed like he was having a chat with the three children. It piqued her interest. She looked at them and asked, "What are you talking about?""Ms. Camilla, I made a present for you!" Melanie was so happy to see Camilla. She ran toward Camilla with a smile on her face
After taking a few-minute break, Camilla went to teach the triplets. It was already 8 pm when the lesson ended. Jayden was still working in his brightly-lit study. Whenever he was busy, he would keep himself holed up in the research institute, but he has been coming home every night recently because of Camilla. Camilla looked at the time and decided not to find Jayden since she still had lessons to attend later. She went downstairs and ate something hurriedly before leaving. "Ms. Camilla, are you still going out so late at night?" Ms. Thompson asked worriedly when she saw Camilla leaving. "Yes. I still have something to do," Camilla said and left. Ms. Thompson sighed and wondered why Camilla would be busier than Jayden....Camilla always had to make time for a break. Since Charlotte gave her the weekend off, she wanted to spend one of the days studying. However, her phone rang as soon as she woke up. It was Tamara. "Tamara." Camilla was a little confused as she answered
"Maybe a little." Tamara didn't hide her feelings. "After all, you know how Jayden used to be. But seeing how much he spoils you these days, I always felt like there's something behind it." Camilla couldn't help but laugh. "When he confessed to me, he said he wanted to marry me immediately."Tamara widened her eyes in astonishment at the news. "I knew it! He definitely has ulterior motives. He's so eager to marry you—he must be in a hurry to have children with you!"Camilla blushed at her words. "Alright, let's stop. We've arrived," she quickly reminded Tamara.Tamara shifted her gaze and noticed a door slightly ajar, obviously left for her. She cleared her throat and entered the room with Camilla. "Master, I'm here!" "I could hear your voice as soon as you got out of the lift." George came out of the room and smiled at her.Tamara smiled brightly. "Master, this is my future sister-in-law, Camilla West." She turned to Camilla. "And this is my master, George Checkers." "Hello,
"Goodbye, Master!" Tamara bid farewell to George and left with Camilla.…Most shops were preparing to welcome the lunch crowd, so the two quickly ordered a light meal. Inside the restaurant, Tamara drank her milk and blinked at Camilla. "I have a question. But it might be a bit presumptuous." "Go ahead." Camilla calmly ate her food and glanced at Tamara.After a moment of contemplation, Tamara asked, "Has your mother been causing you any trouble recently?"Camilla paused for a moment before shaking her head. "No.""Oh, alright then." A strange glimmer flashed across Tamara's eyes. But she didn't pursue the topic further.Camilla observed her. "Why did you suddenly ask about her?""Please don't get angry. But to be completely honest, I feel like she doesn't act like a mother. The way she looks at you is cold and devoid of warmth, just like my father." Whenever Tamara thought of Jacob, his cold and emotionless gaze always came to her mind.Since she was young, Jacob never li
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
