The crowd watched on with hearts in their throats.Just as Adira was about to deal a killing blow to Yvette with a set of skills, Yvette unleashed the weakening skill.The skill managed to decrease the damage Adira dealt by half!However, as Adira was too focused on dealing Yvette a blow, the former went straight into the latter’s tower attack range.Eventually, Tamara managed to deal a fatal blow to SweetTea’s character with a normal attack, getting the first kill.SweetTea pursed her lips and said, “You just got lucky!” Her expression had darkened significantly.Tamara had a small smirk on her face. Her eyes were filled with condescension.When the crowd saw what Tamara managed to do, they let out quiet sighs of relief.SweetTea had been too eager to deal damage to Tamara’s character. The calm way Tamara managed to avoid her opponent’s attacks was awe-inspiring.To everyone, Yvette was the weakest character in the game. Anyone who played as her in a one-to-one battle was des
SweetTea’s face filled with horror as she stared at Sebastian. “No way! You don’t have the power to ban me! You simply can’t!”However, no one cared what she had to say.Everyone at the scene was horrified by Sebastian’s cruelty.Since SweetTea was a famed streamer in the gaming community, she earned a living by streaming.Suddenly banning her from the community meant that SweetTea’s income would come to a sudden halt.The crowd stared at Sebastian in awe.Even though they had heard of the man, they had never seen him in real life.After meeting him, everyone thought it would be best if they never encountered him ever again.Sebastian was too terrifying.This man could control life and death with a single command.At the end of the first knockout round, Tamara managed to advance to the next stage without incident.Margot linked her arms with Tamara as they walked out of the club. Margot looked back to find that Sebastian was following closely behind them.Looking a little a
Tamara did not know how to respond. She eyed Sebastian strangely before wiping her makeup away with the wet wipes.A few minutes later, her face was clear of makeup. Upon taking one look at her, the knit between Sebastian’s eyebrows loosened.Sebastian drove them back to Skarrowlilt Grove.A bodyguard came over to open their car doors. Upon getting out of the car, Sebastian walked into the villa without looking back, disregarding Tamara’s existence entirely.Tamara watched his retreating back, unable to hold back a long sigh.She could not believe how short the man’s temper was.She recalled that before having interacted with Sebastian, whenever the news would talk about the man, they would paint him as a cold, unfeeling person. He was known to never show much emotion.Tamara could not understand why the Sebastian she knew was worlds away from the one that was shown on TV.She much preferred the TV version of Sebastian. The TV version of him was cold, unfeeling, and would not g
Tamara was taken aback.It turned out that Sebastian was Y!Surprise flashed in her clear eyes as she regarded the man. However, this only made Sebastian’s expression darken.“What the hell are you staring at? Get to it!”Tamara pressed her lips together tightly, trying her best to contain a laugh.She did as she was asked and accepted the friend request from Y.Without sparing her another look, Sebastian spun on his heel and left.Tamara was rendered speechless.She laughed inwardly at how immature Sebastian was.He had stalled for so long just for this. It turned out that he had only wanted her to accept his friend request.In Tamara’s defense, Sebastian had not clarified that Y was him. How was she to know that Y didn’t have any ulterior motives?A small smile appeared on Tamara’s face, her tense body relaxing.However, after a moment’s thought, her smile instantly fell.“Could he have ulterior motives?” she mused to herself.Tamara felt her heart skip a beat. She hurr
”I didn’t mean to imply anything. I just wanted to chat with you. That woman’s name is Eugenia Cooper. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lynch seem to value her very much,” Ms. Thompson explained hurriedly, then turned and left.Tamara wondered what Ms. Thompson meant when she told her that Yareli and William valued that woman. “Is she trying to hint at something?” she thought.She lowered her gaze and continued to eat. However, her appetite had suddenly disappeared.She got up and left the dining room. Upon noticing her leaving so abruptly, Ms. Thompson was taken aback. “Young Mrs. Lynch, what’s wrong? You didn’t even eat much.”Tamara shook her head, indicating that she did not want to eat anymore, then went straight upstairs.Ms. Thompson let out a soft sigh as she watched Tamara’s retreating figure.She had deliberately thrown Tamara the hint. She just hoped that the younger woman managed to catch her drift.Ms. Thompson knew that Tamara was a good person. However, the older woman was merel
Eugenia eyed Margot curiously. “You’re Young Mrs. Lynch’s friend, aren’t you? I was just inviting her to attend Mrs. Lynch’s birthday party with me.”“Mrs. Lynch? Do you mean Yareli Baiss?” Margot frowned, then decided promptly. “She’s not going!”Eugenia was taken aback. “You’re…”Margot tugged on Tamara’s hand. “We’re not going!”After that, she pulled her out of the shop.Eugenia got up, staring at the women’s retreating figures. The cheery expression on her face disappeared in an instant. She flashed a smug smile in the end.…“What does that wicked witch’s birthday have to do with us? It’s not like we’re dying to go to the party!”Margot could not stand the sight of Yareli. The woman had always acted like she was better than everyone just because she was the wife of ST Corporation’s CEO.Furthermore, knowing how horrible Yareli treated Tamara, Margot despised her even more.When she turned back, she noticed that Tamara looked out of sorts.“Tammy, are you okay?” Margot
Even though she had changed her appearance with makeup, Eugenia had still been able to recognize her!Tamara hurriedly grabbed Margot’s hand.Margot was taken aback. “What’s wrong?”Tamara turned towards her and signed, “I’ve changed my appearance, yet Eugenia was able to recognize me instantly.”Margot was quick to react. She frowned and asked, “What on earth is that woman up to? How did she even recognize you?”Tamara shook her head, indicating that she had no idea either.However, she had a guess.Upon leaving Skarrowlilt Grove that morning, Eugenia had probably known about Tamara’s altered appearance. As such, when they bumped into each other at the shop, the woman identified her as Sebastian’s wife right away without question.Tamara shifted her gaze back towards Eugenia.At that moment, Eugenia was standing next to Yareli, smiling kindly at the older woman as they chatted about something.Their closeness merely added to Tamara’s suspicion of her.Margot moved closer to
Tamara had been put in an extremely embarrassing position.Margot’s face was red with fury. She glared angrily at Eugenia. “Gosh, how dramatic. You keep insisting to everyone that it’s your fault. Well, if that’s the case, why don’t you apologize on bended knee?”Eugenia was taken aback. She looked at Margot innocently and said, “Miss Zimmerman, how can you ask that of me?”Margot shot her a sarcastic look. “Didn’t you just admit that it was all your fault? If you’re truly repentant, you’ll have to prove it.”Margot’s aggression intimidated Eugenia.Yareli glared at Margot with displeasure. “This is my birthday party! An ill-mannered bitch like you can’t make demands like that on my turf! Get the hell out! Tamara, you as well! Get off my property.”Yareli pointed at Tamara, her tone filled with disdain.The crowd watched Tamara’s humiliation take place. She had brought shame to the Lynch family.The birthday party had been going well, yet the damned mute had ruined everything.
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
