"What's wrong?" With a perplexed look on her face, Camilla looked at him and asked quizzically.Scott, grappling with unspoken words, cast a contemplative glance at his phone and then at her. Inevitably, he approached her with a nuanced countenance and uttered, "Camilla, I believe you and Mr. Moore are a perfect match. However, he has betrayed you." As he spoke, he handed his phone over to Camilla.Camilla's gaze landed on the phone, revealing a glimpse of a social media post in her peripheral vision. It was a friend's post, authored by none other than Tanya.The text read, "Thank you, dear Mr. Moore." accompanied by an image that unveiled a grand bouquet of roses and a hand with distinct joints grasping a delicate, lovely hand.The image did not reveal a frontal view, yet Camilla was intimately familiar with that hand.Just last night, that very hand had left tenderly and meticulously traces over her entire body.Camilla's face paled in an instant. She stared at the social med
"Camilla, my dear, we're friends. It's only natural for us to support each other. Wait for me, okay? I'll be there soon," Kylie hurriedly consoled her after hearing the slight quiver in Camilla's voice.Camilla hummed in response before promptly ending the call. She went into the restroom and splashed cold water on her face, trying to make herself more alert. She couldn't afford to break down; she had to find out the truth.Half an hour later, Kylie showed up at the dessert shop. By this time, Camilla had composed herself, though her complexion remained somewhat pale. Nevertheless, she looked much better than before."Camilla, carry on with what you wanted to do. We'll talk once you're done." Kylie didn't immediately question what had happened. Instead, she allowed Camilla to attend to her personal matter first. After all, something serious must have happened for someone as dedicated and diligent as Camilla to abruptly stop working."Okay." Camilla nodded and walked away.The dess
Camilla suddenly found it hard to breathe. It felt like there were daggers down her throat, and every breath seemed excruciatingly painful to her. She closed her eyes and rolled down the window, letting in some fresh air. She was trying to relieve her emotions. Why did it hurt so much?Simon frowned as he looked at her pale face. "Camilla, are you alright?"However, Camilla couldn't hear anything outside of her bubble anymore. The only things on her mind now were that post with the photo and what Jayden had said to her.Was he with Tanya now? Didn't he promise her he wouldn't have anything to do with Tanya anymore?It was only because he had given Camilla his word that she didn't continue interrogating him about this. However, that post felt like a rude slap to her face. It brought her back to reality."Camilla? Camilla!"Simon grabbed Camilla's hands and got her to face him. He kept calling out her name and said, "Camilla, calm down, alright? What's on your mind now? Tell me, and I'l
"Thank you," Camilla thanked Brandon with a lowered gaze before heading toward the lift.Brandon furrowed his brows worriedly. "Are you sure you're okay, Camilla?""I'm fine." Camilla sounded calm. Aside from her pale face, it was hard to discern any other emotions from her. Brandon was still worried and decided to follow after her.The lift brought them to the 12th floor. Once Camilla stepped out from the ride, she sucked in a deep breath and headed for Tanya's ward. Every step felt like she was walking on razor blades. Her fingers curled slightly, and she had to remind herself to stay calm. She couldn't afford to be rash and have a breakdown right now.Soon, she arrived at the dreaded location. Because it was a private hospital, there wasn't any window on the door. She couldn't see what was happening inside.Camilla slowly raised her hand to knock. Right before her fist made contact, Brandon stopped her."Allow me," Brandon said as he gently pushed Camilla aside.Camilla bli
Camilla widened her eyes at Simon. She was surprised by his sudden appearance and was even more baffled by the punch he threw at Jayden. Her heart tightened, and she turned her attention to Jayden anxiously.The corner of Jayden's mouth was bleeding. It was proof of how much strength was packed in Simon's punch. Anger flared within Jayden's usual gentle eyes, and he swung back!After all, still waters run deep.Not to mention, he was Jayden Moore. Second son of the noble Moore family!The two men were aiming for each other's throat. Camilla paled at the violent display. "Stop! Don't fight!"She rushed forward to intercept but was held back by Brandon. "Don't go any closer. You might get caught in the crossfire."Camilla's voice trembled. "Are you saying we should let them tear each other apart?""Jayden!" came a shriek before a figure in white robes rushed between the fight. Simon's fist landed on Tanya's back, and she immediately hissed from the impact.Simon was not holding
Simon sighed helplessly at Camilla's retreating figure. Brandon shifted his gaze to him. "Do you want to get those wounds treated?"Simon dismissed his offer with a wave. "No thanks." He shook his head one last time before he turned around and left.…Camilla approached Jayden and observed him. He had a bruise on his face from the punches Simon gave him earlier. She withdrew her gaze and remained silent, standing there quietly.She felt that she should turn around and leave, that she shouldn't be here. But deep down, she believed in him. As long as he was willing to explain, she would believe him.Her breath was barely audible, but Jayden still noticed her. His glasses had been knocked away; without them, his dark eyes were out on display, adding an aura of fierceness and power to him."Sweetheart," he called hoarsely.Camilla didn't utter a word, nor did she look at him.Jayden held her hand, his fingers gently caressing hers. "Didn't you say you thought up a plan for our wedd
After a while, Jayden finally broke the silence. "Sweetheart, do you really want to do this?"Camilla's eyelashes trembled, her face pale as she looked at him. "What else could I do? Continue to act oblivious? Am I supposed to turn a blind eye when you give her your everything just to make her compliant as a test subject?"Jayden gave her a conflicted look."What's the point of having a marriage like that?" Camilla smiled bitterly. Her fingers curled slightly as she continued, "Jayden, I like you. I would even say I love you. But that's not an excuse for you to lie to me. My heart isn't made out of steel. It will feel pain." "Sweetheart ..." Jayden tried to reach for her hand, but she avoided him. "I'll believe you when you let me join your research." With that, Camilla spun on her heels and left.Watching her retreating figure, Jayden felt the urge to catch up with her. He wanted to explain everything, to clarify the situation so they could live a happy life together.But .
One of Camilla's blood arteries had ruptured due to her extreme emotions. It was why she coughed up blood.But ... how could anyone's artery burst just because of some heightened emotions? Her body was too fragile."Don't worry about it, Camilla. You're fine. You're healthy," Brandon reassured her when he saw her furrowed brow.Camilla nodded. She turned to Brandon. "Thank you."Brandon immediately said, "We're friends. There's no need to thank me."Camilla stood up. "I'll be heading back now. Kylie is still helping me at the shop."Brandon asked, "Are you sure you're okay?""I'll be fine," Camilla replied, heading for the exit.Brandon couldn't bear watching her retreating figure. He took off his white coat and quickly caught up with her. "I'll escort you. I don't feel safe with you walking around in that state."Camilla didn't refuse and said, "Thank you."Brandon wanted to reply but decided to keep his mouth shut upon seeing her pale face. He drove Camilla back to the de
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
