The red Ferrari screeched to a sudden stop. Benjamin opened the car door and rushed over to see the unconscious Margot. His face filled with concern.He picked her up and placed her in the passenger seat before returning to the driver's seat. Just then, Patrick and the others arrived in their cars. Patrick asked, "What's going on?"Benjamin looked ahead, but the van had already disappeared. He hissed coldly, "Find that van for me!"Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, Patrick quickly nodded and made a call.Benjamin had already started his car and was heading to the hospital. He was speeding through the streets, running countless red lights along the way.Upon arriving at the hospital, he rushed Margot into the emergency room. He stood outside, agitated and impatient.After a while, a doctor came out and said to him, "The patient doesn't have any major injuries. She just inhaled a large amount of chloroform. She'll be fine once the effect wears off."Benjamin let out a heavy
Margot's face turned cold.At this moment, in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts.Three men were tied up and shivering, huddled in a corner. Patrick held a cigarette in his hand and was talking to his companion.One of them asked, "Who's the woman Mr. Inkling took away? He seemed to care a lot about her."Patrick took a drag of his cigarette before saying, "I'm glad you asked. But you might find the truth hard to believe."Patrick briefly explained how Margot and Benjamin had met. His companions were shocked by the story.They never thought Benjamin would fall for a lunatic.Indeed, Margot's actions were the definition of insanity to them. Who in their right mind would declare someone as their future spouse right as they met?One of the companions piped up, "Was this planned then? We've met many people who would do anything to gain favors from rich folks."Patrick narrowed his eyes and warned, "Don't ever say this in front of Mr. Benjamin."If his hunches were right, Ben
"I was wrong! Please! Spare me! I beg you, please!" The sleazy man howled in pain. Margot sneered in disgust at the man before turning to the quiet man. She waved the stick in her hand. "Where's the hundred thousand dollars?"The quiet man paused. "It's in my pocket."Just as Margot was about to reach for it, Benjamin stopped her. He looked at one of his companions. "You go."The companion nodded and retrieved a card from the quiet man's pocket, handing it to Benjamin.Benjamin examined it carefully and handed it to Patrick. "Find out who paid them.""Okay." Patrick nodded and took the card.Margot raised her hand and struck the quiet man's leg with the stick. "You fucking crossed me! There's more of where that came from! You have two choices in front of you. You can either heed my every command until I forgive you, or I'll send you to prison."She paused before continuing, "Don't think you can ever get out of prison. See this? I have connections! I can make you stay in prison
Benjamin glanced at her. The wind blew against her, and her hair brushed gently across her face from it. Her side profile was gentle, and her eyes narrowed slightly at the corners. She gave off a sense of maturity that was well beyond her years.She was a mystery that kept drawing him closer, enticing him to draw closer to her. Benjamin pursed his lips and stepped on the gas. The sports car's engine roared even louder.Margot quirked an eyebrow at him, but all she saw was his cold profile and perfect jawline. The sight captivated her.She felt her lover was so incredibly handsome.Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Margot's apartment complex. Benjamin opened the car door without a word.Margot hurriedly got out of the car and followed behind him. Why was he acting like he owned the place?A faint smile appeared on Margot's lips, and her mood lifted. Benjamin soon escorted her to her doorstep. She unlocked the door and asked, "Do you want to come in?"Benjamin scoffed,
Yet why was Margot such a mystery to him? Was she actually good at hiding her past from prying eyes?Benjamin sat down in a chair with the file in hand, lost in thought....The next day, Margot endured her pain and arrived at the hotel. When she saw the construction progress, she smiled in satisfaction. Just then, her phone rang. She answered with a smile. "Hello?"Benjamin asked, "Are you awake?"Margot replied, "I've already left home. What's wrong? Are you planning to skip school today?"Benjamin huffed. "I've already drafted the contract. Where are you? I'll come pick you up."Margot's eyes lit up. "No need for that. Just send me the location, and I'll come over."Benjamin hummed in acknowledgment. After ending the call, Margot took the subway and arrived at a law firm. Dylan and his group were already there. Their expressions changed when they saw her—all except for the sleazy man who kept stealing glances at her.A murderous gaze suddenly loomed over him, and the
The skinny man sighed. "My name is Kevan Stoneman."The sleazy man piped up, "I'm David Nickleback."Margot chuckled and waved her hand, leading them toward the subway station as if she were the head of some gang. "Let's go. I'll show you the way home."Dylan and his companions followed her. After a few stops, they stood in front of a run-down hotel.Kevan couldn't help but ask, "What's this place?"David wondered aloud, "Did you inherit this from your parents?"Dylan gave them a look before turning back to Margot.Margot ignored them. She calmly stated, "This place will reopen soon. Once it's open, you'll be my tools. I don't care what you did before, but starting today, you'll have to get rid of all your bad habits. After all, we have laws in place. You can't go around breaking them all day."Dylan and Kevan remained silent.David, on the other hand, chuckled. "Sure thing."Margot gave him a cold glance before heading inside. "You'll be supervising the work here. Remember,
Tamara's face dropped. She nervously grabbed Margot's hand and shook her head repeatedly. It was clear she didn't want that to happen.Margot comforted her, "Don't worry, there's still a chance to change the future. We haven't reached that point yet. We can still make it right."Tamara, reassured by Margot's words, gradually calmed down.Margot thought to herself, "That's right. There's still time."Margot furrowed her brows. "Moreover, I think your mother seems to have found out about it."Tamara nodded. "I think so too."Margot asked, "So, what do you plan to do? Will you wait until tomorrow to talk to her or tell her tonight?"Tamara pursed her lips and hesitated. "I'm not sure. If she knows about it, why didn't she contact Grandma instead? Why would she silently watch as we run around like headless chickens?"Margot paused. She never thought about this before.Tamara continued, "I don't know how to describe my feelings. It's as if my mom knows everything but is just unwill
Quentin was fuming with anger. He glared at Margot.Just then, Tamara walked over. She huffed at him before slamming the door in his face.Quentin was seething with anger. But when he turned around, he saw Alex standing not far away. Her usual gentle smile had disappeared, and she looked at him coldly."Mom ..." Quentin swallowed hard when he saw her.Alex coldly muttered, "Quentin, is this how you treat your sister?"Quentin gritted his teeth. He wanted to say something, but Alex had already walked away, not even sparing him another glance.His hands clenched into fists.His disdain for Tamara wasn't solely due to the secret he held but also because Alex had never once smiled at him. When it came to Tamara, Alex always showered her with affection. He wanted that too, but he had never received it.Why?Why was there such a stark difference even though they were born of the same mother? Was it because they didn't have the same father? Was it because Alex despised his fath
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
