"Okay," Kylie whimpered.After ending the call, Camilla instructed the maids to prepare some snacks and fruits. She knew Kylie would probably want to have some.About half an hour later, the sound of a car engine roared at the villa's entrance. Before the car's engine even stopped, Kylie's wailing cries reached her ears.Camilla's brows twitched, and she hurried out to meet her. As soon as she stepped outside, Kylie rushed into her arms."Camilla, Simon is such a scumbag! I knew he was a playboy all along! But I thought he'd change after meeting you! It turns out I was too naive!" Kylie cried, painting Simon as a villain with her words.Camilla patiently listened to Kylie as she guided her into the living room. She led Kylie to the couch and allowed her to continue her rant. After a while, Kylie's tears gradually subsided."Do you want some ice cream?" Camilla picked up an ice cream cone and offered it to her."Yes, please," Kylie sniffled. She took the ice cream and took a big
Kylie pouted and continued, "I really like Simon. But he's a stupid player. I've decided not to like him anymore."Camilla nodded indifferently. "I agree."Kylie suddenly turned to her. "Camilla, do you think Simon still likes you?"Camilla paused. She observed Kylie closely before admitting, "I don't know, and I don't care."Kylie squished the pillow she was holding, looking utterly disappointed. She didn't speak again after that. Instead, she only hugged the pillow closer and wept to herself.Camilla sighed. She knew how Kylie felt. Falling out of love wasn't that easy.Just then, Camilla's phone buzzed. Brandon had arrived. She got up and brought Brandon inside.When he saw the dazed Kylie on the couch, Brandon scolded her irritably, "Get a grip!"Camilla muttered, "Kylie is very emotional right now. Don't take anything she says to heart.""I know." Brandon kept his eyes on Kylie. He gently nudged her. "Kylie, do you want to play some games together?"Kylie's eyes flicke
Brandon's expression darkened. He turned around and started taking off his shirt. He seized her up with a hungry gaze."You're asking for it!" he growled.Kylie challenged him, "You wouldn't dare!"With that, Brandon pounced.Clothes were thrown, and their breaths were mixed together.Brandon kissed her almost frantically, igniting a fire within her."Remember this well, Kylie. You asked for it! Don't think you can get rid of me so soon!" Brandon panted.Kylie's breath quickened. "Enough talking!"She couldn't quite explain the feeling inside her. It was a mixture of bitterness and sadness, yet it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be.Suddenly, the moments she shared with Brandon flashed across her mind.He had always been with her. Maybe she had grown accustomed to him. That was why she had never paid much attention to him. But today, she finally gave him a good look, and her heart fluttered.She never felt this way when she was with Simon.So, how did she feel about S
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the manor. Simon opened the car door and got out. He said to Camilla, "Wait for me here."Camilla nodded hesitantly. "Alright."She watched as Simon entered the manor before taking out her phone. She sent a message to Jayden. "The antidote will be ready soon. It looks like you can step down now!"Jayden replied, "Alright, you can be the director from now on."Camilla smiled and sent back a grinning emoji.She put away her phone and looked at the sky outside. She noticed how nice it was and decided to get out of the car.The manor was located in the suburbs and was surrounded by dense forests. The trees swayed, and light seeped through the gaps in the leaves, creating patterns on the ground.Camilla squinted her eyes and enjoyed the moment. She started to fantasize about the day when Jayden would be cured. They could live a good life together then. Suddenly, footsteps sounded behind her. Thinking it was Simon, Camilla didn't feel alert
Scott's tone was incredibly calm. It was as if he were discussing something trivial.Camilla's expression darkened as her suspicions were confirmed. But why? What had Jayden done to make Scott hate him so much?She didn't understand.Scott glanced at her and smiled. "You're quite remarkable, Camilla. If you didn't like Jayden, I wouldn't have used you. Yet, you've gone so far as to hurt and torture yourself for his sake. You're a foolish woman."Camilla didn't say anything.She couldn't say anything. Even if she could, she didn't know what to say.Scott led her up the mountain path. The branches cut her skin, leaving shallow and deep wounds all over her face and arms.The pain woke Camilla up.After what felt like a long time, Scott stopped.Camilla saw that they were surrounded by dense bushes ahead, with hardly any gaps to crawl through. If they tried to pass through, they would undoubtedly end up with all sorts of wounds on their body.Scott hummed. "Alright, let's wait
Camilla immediately shook her head, signaling for Jayden not to come any closer. Simon also piped up, "I can smell gasoline."Jayden's footsteps halted, but his gaze remained fixed on Camilla. Seeing that she only had some minor injuries, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Scott. "I'm the one you're after. Let her go."Scott played with the lighter in his hand. His eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at Jayden. "What do you think is a fate worse than death? I've been asking myself the same question over and over again. "Finally, it struck me. Watching your lover burn to death right before you ought to hurt more than the flame licking at your skin."Simon furrowed his brows. "Have you gone mad?""You're right!" Scott roared. "I'm mad! I went insane the day you sent me my mother's corpse!"Jayden gave him an indifferent look. "I don't know who your mother is.""Haha ... Of course, as the second son of the Moore family, you wouldn't remember such an ins
While Camilla was still confused, a gunshot suddenly rang out.Immediately, she saw Jayden's body go stiff. Veins popped on his forehead, and he twitched. He clutched her shoulders tightly. "Don't be afraid ..."However, a mouthful of blood spilled from his lips as he spoke, and he turned pale."Jayden!" Camilla shrieked....The place was in chaos as Jayden was rushed into the operating room. Simon stood by Camilla's side and gave her a complicated look. "Don't worry. He'll be fine."Camilla's hands shook uncontrollably, her face drained of any color. She stared at the doors of the operating room and refused to leave.Helplessness flickered in Simon's eyes, and he withdrew his gaze."Camilla!" Just then, Nathan rushed over anxiously. Seeing that Camilla was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you okay?"Camilla's lips moved.Simon butted in, "She's fine. But Jayden is still unconscious after being shot."Nathan froze, and confusion washed over him. After learning abo
The police officer nodded and said, "Yes, we will proceed according to the procedures." Camilla breathed a sigh of relief and nodded back. She turned to leave.Just then, another officer approached her. "Scott wants to see you."Camilla's brows furrowed. She had no intention of meeting him. But she suddenly recalled Jayden's words when he rushed in front of her.His words were, "Promise me you won't be afraid." What did he mean exactly?Camilla followed the officer into the room where Scott was being held. She stood outside the iron bars, looking at the bruises on his face."Camilla." Scott's voice was hoarse. He sounded different than usual.Camilla looked at him coldly and didn't say a word.Scott knew her well. After what had happened, she definitely didn't have a good impression of him. Hell, she probably wanted him dead."I was already pinned to the ground back then. How did I manage to get a gun?" Scott lowered his eyes and mumbled.Camilla finally reacted. Her brows
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
