Cheryl turned to Jonathan. "How did you give birth to such a mentally disturbed child?"Jonathan stared at her blankly. "Weren't you the one who gave birth to him?""Would I have a son like that if it wasn't for you?" Cheryl glared at him. "What should we do now? I thought I could enjoy a peaceful life after my sons got married. Now look what happened! They brought me so much trouble!"Cheryl was infuriated. Her expression suddenly became serious as she turned to Jonathan and said, "Jason, Jordan, and Joseph aren't like that, right?"Jonathan fell silent.How could she say such things about her own sons? But thinking of the mess Jayden had caused, Jonathan didn't want to acknowledge him as his son either."What should we do now?" Cheryl felt helpless.Jonathan sighed. "We should find him first. We'll figure out the rest later."Cheryl sighed as well. "I guess that's the only thing we can do now."...At the manor on the hill.Night fell.Jayden came out of the study room
Camilla felt weak, and her vision danced before her eyes. She steadied herself with the wall and headed for the stairs. When she reached the stairs, she held the handrail and slowly descended.She suddenly felt dizzy and missed a step. She immediately fell forward.Camilla's eyes widened in horror. She thought she was about to fall down the stairs. Just then, an arm snaked around her waist, pulling her into their embrace.She clung to the person tightly. She was breathing heavily and looked terrified."Camilla, are you okay?" Jayden's voice rang in her ears.Only then did Camilla realize it was Jayden who caught her.She looked up shakily and saw Jayden looking at her with concern. She wanted to push him away but couldn't muster up any strength. The impact from the fall left her even more dizzy, and she was completely drained.Jayden noticed her pale face and immediately carried her. He headed upstairs with her in his arms.The maid from earlier rushed over in a hurry. She was
Austin gave Camilla an injection. Camilla shuddered when the needle pierced her skin. Austin felt surprised by her reaction and frowned. "Does it hurt that much?" Jayden hugged Camilla and pecked her forehead. He whispered reassuringly, "It's alright."Austin didn't want to see their lovey-dovey acts. He kept his medical kit and instructed, "Keep a close eye on her temperature. You should check it every half an hour. She should be fine if her temperature drops. But if it doesn't, you should take her to the hospital immediately.""Okay," Jayden hummed.Austin mumbled, "Then, I'll be leaving now.""Thank you." Jayden saw him off.Jayden's gaze returned to Camilla. He worried she might feel uncomfortable lying in his arms for too long. He carefully placed her on the bed. He sat by her side, keeping a close watch on her condition.Camilla felt like her head was about to explode due to the fever. Drowsiness washed over her, and she drifted in and out of sleep. During this time,
Camilla closed her eyes. Her lashes trembled uncontrollably, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. All in all, she couldn't control her emotions anymore. Jayden remained by her side. He kept a close watch. He didn't want her to slip down the bathtub in case she lost consciousness and drowned. "I want to get out," Camilla mumbled hoarsely after ten minutes."Okay. I'll carry you out." Jayden picked up a towel and wrapped her up before leaving the bathroom. Due to the steam, a faint blush appeared on Camilla's face. She seemed to be in much better condition.Yet, her demeanor remained indifferent."Are you hungry?" Jayden asked as he wiped her body.Camilla didn't answer. She had no strength and could only watch as Jayden wiped her dry.After a while, he brought new clothes and helped her put them on. He touched her forehead and felt relieved to find her temperature had gone down."Jayden," Camilla called out hoarsely."I'm here," Jayden hummed."I don't want to see you,"
Camilla stared at the messages. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. Nathan knew about her situation and was coming to rescue her. But how could she let Nathan take such a risk?Simon had only told her about Tanya, and Jayden retaliated against him. If Nathan came to rescue her, she didn't know what crazy things Jayden might do. Nathan was her little brother. He had been with her for years. She couldn't let anything happen to him.Camilla wrote, "Nathan, listen to me. I'm fine. He hasn't harmed me. He's just afraid of me leaving him. He treats me well."She sent another text. "I'm safe. There's no need for me to leave. It'll only enrage him if I left. Nathan, please listen to me, okay?"When she didn't receive a reply, she sent another text. "Nathan?"Nathan didn't reply to any of her messages.Camilla grew anxious. She tried calling Nathan, but like before, the call couldn't go through.She attempted to message the others, but her text wouldn't deliver either. She didn
Camilla nodded and got into the car. She watched the confrontation between Jackie and Cheryl through the car's window.Cheryl began, "My dear in-law, now that we've found Camilla, don't you think it's time we talk this out?""Talk this out? Let me give it to you straight. My daughter will divorce Jayden. I won't allow that demon to hurt my daughter again!" Jackie stated.Cheryl frowned. "We can discuss this. We're still a family, after all, right?""Hmph!" Jackie sneered. "I never intended to associate with the Moore family!"With that, he got into the car and drove off.Cheryl's face fell. But their family was in the wrong. Jackie had every right to be angry. Now, she had to figure out what Jayden was thinking!Camilla watched as the manor disappeared from her view. The past two days felt like a dream. Camilla withdrew her gaze.While driving, Jackie glanced at her and comforted, "I'm here, Camilla. I'll protect you."Camilla hummed and nodded. Her heart warmed, melting away
Camilla returned to the Bass manor. The manor was brightly lit. Jenna was anxiously pacing inside."Mom," Camilla called out as soon as she entered. Her eyes watered."Camilla!" Jenna lit up with joy when she saw Camilla. She scanned Camilla from head to toe, checking for injuries."Mom, I'm fine. I'm okay." Camilla quickly reassured her and hugged Jenna tightly."I'm glad you're fine." Jenna let out a sigh of relief. She turned to Jackie and noticed the dark look on his face. Nevertheless, Camilla was back. At least, they had one less problem now."Camilla, you should go upstairs and rest. We'll leave Clacton once you're fully rested," Jackie said.Camilla nodded and suddenly remembered something. "Mom, Dad, let's bring Nathan along too. If not for him, I wouldn't have been able to escape.""Of course," Jenna said, "We'll treat him as our own."The couple ran a background check on Camilla after the three reunited. They found out she had a younger brother who she was close wi
The atmosphere in the living room tensed at Tamara's words.Joseph widened his eyes in shock while Jonathan's expression turned ugly.Cheryl pointed an accusing finger at Jayden, but she couldn't find the right words to say. Jayden's actions had angered everyone.Jayden stood up without warning. "I'm going to find her."He headed straight for the door.The others exchanged looks, not knowing what to do. Should they stop him? Could they even stop him? But if they didn't, who knew what outrageous things Jayden would do?They were caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to handle the situation.It was pitch black outside when Jayden left the manor. Dark clouds covered the sky, and not a single star was in sight. Jayden took out his phone and made a call. "Bring Nathan to me."…The next day. Camilla was up early. Despite being at home, Camilla still found herself unable to be at peace. Anxiousness ate at her, and she felt something bad was about to happen. When Camilla e
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
