Camilla froze at the news. She gawked at Noah in disbelief. "There must be a mistake."Noah shook his head. "I trust my sources. The license plate does belong to Jayden. But it doesn't necessarily mean he was the one behind your parents' abduction. You should calm down."Camilla's face turned as white as sheets as she stared blankly ahead. She had just gotten off a phone call with Jayden, and he had denied any involvement.Moreover, he was on his way here.Camilla tried to calm herself down and stop her mind from wandering. Jayden would arrive soon. He would surely give her an explanation.Noah's heart ached at Camilla's pale face. "Camilla, no matter what happens, we need to prepare for the worst. After all, your relationship with him is complicated. It's not as simple as a marriage between a couple.""I know." Camilla nodded dazedly.Noah didn't continue.Just then, the maid knocked on the door. "Miss, Mr. Moore has arrived.""Let him in," Camilla ordered."Yes." The maid c
Noah and Camilla exchanged a glance.Jayden grabbed Camilla's hand. "I will look into your parents' disappearance. Now, let's go home."Camilla said nothing, but she didn't struggle. Instead, she looked back at Noah. "Thank you for your help, Noah."Noah shook his head. "They're family. It's only natural that I helped."Jayden sent one last look at Noah before dragging Camilla away.In the car.There was a driver present this time.Camilla withdrew her hand and stared out the window, unable to conceal her worry.Jayden glanced at her. "Camilla, we can't continue like this. Someone has started taking advantage of our situation."Camilla asked, "What do you mean?"Jayden sighed, "Don't you find it too coincidental? Someone is manipulating the situation. Your parents' sudden disappearance and the use of my car placed a huge target on my head. They want to drive a wedge between us."If more misunderstandings were added to the list, their already fragile relationship would break
At night. The people exited the research institute. They noticed the strained tension between Jayden and Camilla and grew oddly quiet. The atmosphere also felt strange because of it.Scott glanced at them and quickly averted his gaze. He took out his phone and sent the prepared email to Camilla. Once Camilla got out of the car, she saw the message from Scott but didn't click open it immediately. Instead, she glanced at Jayden. "Are we going straight for that town?""Yes." Jayden nodded.Camilla nodded in understanding and averted her gaze. It wasn't difficult to find Jackie and Jenna with Jayden's help. Camilla was only worried about Jackie and Jenna's well-being and wondered who had abducted them.The car drove for an hour before stopping in the small town. Jayden's men were already waiting there. When the men saw him, they greeted him respectfully, "Good evening, Mr. Moore."Jayden gave a curt nod. "Where are they?"One of the men replied, "They are in the inn across
Camilla pursed her lips and glanced at the inn, wondering what the situation inside was like. She couldn't make any decisions right now. Since she had chosen to believe Jayden, she would believe him until the bitter end."Alright." Camilla nodded solemnly at Jayden.Jayden turned to his men and nodded. His men immediately dispersed, surrounding the inn.Camilla clenched her hands tightly as she stared at the inn. The curtains were drawn, hiding the view inside.Just then, a gunshot echoed through the air. Everyone froze and watched the inn vigilantly.The staff paled and ran out. They stammered, "She said if you come any closer, she ... she'll kill the hostages!"Camilla grew ghostly pale. She instinctively turned to Jayden.Jayden's brows furrowed as he glanced at the staff. He signaled one of his men over and whispered to him. The man immediately went to carry out the orders.Although Camilla was standing beside Jayden, she couldn't hear what he said. She started anxiou
Camilla stared at him in bewilderment.However, Jayden ignored her and headed straight for the inn. He entered alone. Charlotte had a clear view from the inside and didn't fire the gun.She aimed the gun at the doorway, not missing any movement.The corridor of the inn was carpeted, silencing any footsteps. Charlotte's focus remained fixed on the door.The door was tightly shut, and her breath grew tense.Just then, the doorbell rang.Charlotte's breathing grew heavy, and her hand trembled. Yet, she managed to say, "Jayden, do you remember who I am?"Jayden replied, "I don't recognize your voice. How about you open the door and let me see you? Maybe that will jog my memory.""Jayden Moore! You scumbag! You're just a big liar!" Charlotte's anger flared. "I won't open the door. You'll kill me if I do!"Jayden chuckled. "I'll still kill you even if you don't open the door."Charlotte bit her lip. She changed her mind. "I don't mind dying. But are you willing to let Camilla's p
Charlotte was staring at Jayden calmly when she suddenly burst into laughter. "Jayden Moore, do you think this is the end of it since you caught me? News flash! It's not over yet! You've wronged me and my husband. I'll make you pay!"Jayden's face darkened, and he growled, "What other plans do you have in mind?"Charlotte remained silent."Take her away. Use any method you see fit. Just make her talk," ordered Jayden."Yes." Two men immediately took Charlotte away.Jayden turned to Jackie and Jenna. He walked over, untied the ropes, and removed the tapes from their mouths. He spoke gently, "I'm sorry for scaring you, Uncle Jackie, Aunt Jenna."Jenna's face was pale. "Jayden, thank goodness you are here. Otherwise, we would ...""What nonsense are you spouting? It's because of him that we ended up in this dangerous situation!" Jackie glared at Jenna.Even though Jayden had saved him, Jackie showed no signs of gratitude. If Jayden had divorce Camilla, they wouldn't have ended u
Seeing that her parents have made up their minds, Camilla decided not to say anything more. Jackie and Jenna got back into the car. After the car disappeared from her view, Camilla turned to Jayden. "Thank you."Jayden gazed at her gently. "Sweetheart, we're husband and wife. You don't need to thank me. Besides, you've thanked me many times along the way."Camilla froze, and she didn't say anything else. Instead, she got into the car. Now that the situation was over, a wave of relief washed over Camilla. Thankfully, her parents were safe. But why did Charlotte abduct them?Camilla furrowed her brows at Jayden. "What was Charlotte's motive?" It seemed like Charlotte had been planning something ever since Camilla went to the dessert shop. But how did Charlotte know she would go there? Was Charlotte targeting her or Jayden?Camilla's thoughts were a mess, but she couldn't connect the dots. Jayden smiled gently. "I'll let you know when I get to the bottom of this.""Alrigh
"You don't love me?" Jayden's voice was husky as he stared at Camilla. "You think you can just fall out of love that easily? Camilla, you were the one who seduced me. Did you think I'm just some fling you can toss aside once you had your fill?"Camilla felt amused by his words. "Jayden Moore, did I actually seduce you?"Right from the start, Jayden had treated her with disdain and belittlement. Even though he eventually developed feelings for her, he had never regarded her as an equal.She should have realized this a long time ago. His current hysteria was all because his feelings were not reciprocated. But she was once in his shoes. Yet she had never acted like a spoiled child. All of a sudden, Camilla's heart started aching.Camilla was surprised. She thought she wouldn't be hurt by this. Apparently, she still could.Jayden's chest heaved. He stared at her calm face and suddenly huffed, "Camilla, you have to love me!"With that, Jayden swooped in for a kiss. The ki
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
