SweetTea’s huge reaction was not unwarranted. Eowyn was indeed a very difficult character to master. On a scale of one to ten in terms of difficulty, Eowyn ranked a solid nine.Players who were good at playing as Eowyn would be able to infiltrate the enemy camp whenever they pleased. However, they would be killed very quickly if they did not know how to play the character.After SweetTea said that, the three guys in the team looked over at Tamara doubtfully.Cutie-pie’s live streams were really popular in the world of esports, and the guys had watched her streams before, so they knew how good she was. However, Cutie-pie did not stream very often.No one knew how much she trained to get so skilled.One of the guys said, “Cutie-pie, do you want to switch Eowyn out with some other character? I think Rezart’s pretty good. Why don’t you…”Before he could finish, it was clear to Tamara that her teammates did not trust in her abilities.An indifferent expression appeared on Tamara’s de
”Pentakill!”Playing as Eowyn, Tamara managed a quintuple kill.SweetTea blushed bright red.The three guys in her team looked at Tamara with eyes filled with admiration.“Cutie-pie, you’re so awesome!”“You really live up to your God-like status in the national server! Gosh, you can become a professional gamer at this point!”“That was so cool!”The lobby contained the 16 competing teams. On the wall was a huge LED screen that showed all 16 areas in the game. Each team was given a spot on the screen in order for everyone to stay informed about the game’s proceedings.It had only been eight minutes since the game had started, yet Cutie-pie had managed to get a pentakill already. It shocked everyone at the scene.The working staff looked over at Tamara with naked surprise on their faces.“God, she’s too good!”“To be honest, I thought that she had someone else playing for her in her live streams. I guess I’ve thoroughly been proven wrong!”“Oh my God, her skills are God-tier
”Cutie-pie…” Sebastian mused the name to himself.Suddenly, his thin lips curled into a sinister smirk. Then, he spun on his heel and left the second floor.“Seb, where the hell are you going?”Benjamin asked, puzzled. However, Sebastian did not bother to respond, leaving without another word.“I’m honestly curious about something. How does your best friend even interact with Seb? He’s so cold and stone-faced all the time. Spending so much time with him at home, I’m surprised Tamara hasn’t frozen to death yet,” Benjamin could not help but remark.Margot lowered her eyes and remained quiet. “It’s not like Tammy was with Sebastian out of her own free will! She was forced, and there had been no escape,” she thought.…Ten minutes into the game, Tamara managed to destroy the opponent’s crystal and successfully won the match for her team.The three guys on her team looked over at her and said, “Cutie-pie, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have won this round! You’re too awesome a
Tamara’s face stiffened.The heat of Sebastian’s palm warmed her arm. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not seem to get away.Staying silent would simply prove the man right. If she struggled, it would make whatever Sebastian was saying about her become true.She would end up being the one at fault no matter what she chose to do. Tamara did not know how to handle the situation. Would her identity be revealed at last?“Cutie-pie!”Margot suddenly appeared, rushing over to Tamara. She grabbed her friend’s hand and made her stand behind her.“Young Mr. Lynch, what are you doing? Why are you being so rude to my friend?” Margot’s expression darkened as she glared at Sebastian.“Why is Sebastian always around Tammy? Was fate messing with them?” she wondered.Sebastian’s handsome features turned cold. “I’m really curious about you. Why are all your friends so odd?”Margot stopped breathing for a moment. Then, she hurriedly explained, “Where did you get that idea? Young Mr.
”You!”SweetTea shot Margot a furious glare, yet Margot was not cowed in the slightest. “What could you possibly have to say? You don’t even have any skills to bring to the table! Do you think that I didn’t watch the live stream just now? You picked Yvette right at the beginning! You were hiding behind your teammates the entire time. Why would it be impossible for a girl to be good at playing Eowyn? If anything, you’re just projecting!”Everyone who had just finished competing heard the commotion and looked over.After receiving the scolding from Margot, SweetTea was instantly stunned.Tamara pursed her lips, smiling slightly. She loved Margot to bits, especially that smart mouth of hers.“You’re blatantly disrupting the competition’s proceedings! I can get her kicked out of the game, you know?” SweetTea managed to speak eventually.Margot sneered and said, “Let’s see who ends up getting kicked out later. You, or her? Cutie-pie, let’s go!”Margot pulled Tamara back to her seat.
Margot left the club in a fit of rage. The air inside the establishment felt disgusting to her.“Margot!” Benjamin’s anxious voice rang out from behind her.Margot walked in the direction of her car without looking back.“Margot Zimmerman!”Benjamin got even more anxious as he watched her walk away from him without giving him the chance to explain himself.He did not expect Margot to stumble upon his moment of playfulness, causing such a big misunderstanding.“Mr. Inkling, what are you doing? Why aren’t you spending your time with that new sweetheart of yours?” Margot could not hold it in any longer. She turned to glare at Benjamin.There was a hint of a smile on her exquisite face. However, the smile was tinted with sarcasm.Benjamin explained, “There’s nothing going on between me and her. She pounced on me on purpose! I was just about to push her away when you walked in.”“My, what a huge coincidence! I wonder what made her pounce on you just as I came in.” Margot crossed bo
”Gosh, I didn’t think Cutie-pie and Benjamin Inkling would be involved like that…”“Come on, are you new? There’s a lot of dirty laundry to air in this industry, after all.”“I’ve always looked up to Cutie-pie! Who knew that she could be so shameless?”“Does this mean that someone else played on Cutie-pie’s behalf behind the scenes so that she could gain a fanbase?”Upon hearing that, SweetTea nodded firmly. “That’s right! Someone else from her marketing team had to be controlling her character in the game! There’s no way a girl would be so great at the game! At least, I’m not gullible enough to believe that it could be true!”The three guys on Tamara’s team did not know what to do. One of them eventually spoke up and said, “But Cutie-pie clearly led us to victory just now. The way she played Eowyn was fantastic…”“She just got lucky!”SweetTea followed up quickly, “Luck seems to be on her side. That’s probably how she got to know Mr. Inkling in the first place! If not for that,
”You…”SweetTea glared furiously at Margot. However, after stuttering for a short while, she found that she could not get any words out.Margot crossed her arms, face filled with condescension. “Young Mr. Lynch’s right. If you’re this upset over it, you might as well compete. If you emerge victorious, it’ll mean that everything you’ve said was true. If you end up losing, it’ll prove that you’ve been spreading lies to set her up, which can be classified as slander!”“That’s right! Whether you’ve been telling the truth this whole time will be revealed once you guys compete.”“Yeah! You keep saying that Cutie-pie’s streams were fake, that she was just taking credit for someone else’s skills. Why not compete with her to prove your point? It’s not like it’ll cost you anything.”“I agree. If you refuse to compete, it’ll just prove that everything you said were lies.”Loud booing rang out. Still covering most of her face with both hands, SweetTea looked over the crowd of people and bark
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
