Margot went straight back home. She kept pondering over the look Benjamin gave her.There was definitely more than meets the eye.She knew that gaze well. But she still needed to think of her next move. She was just a friend right now and couldn't confess her feelings yet. Or Benjamin would surely react negatively.Margot couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of this.She carefully considered the Inkling family's history. She was aware that his family seemed to care a lot about family backgrounds.She had nothing to her name as of now. Moreover, Benjamin was fighting over the Inkling Corporation with his half-brother. If he were to marry a useless woman, he would surely lose to Lance.Margot didn't want her man to lose. She could never accept that. So, she had to make sure her club grew at a fast rate.Fortunately, she still had her past life's experience. Operating a club should be a walk in the park for her.Once Margot returned home, she sat on the couch with a glass of j
"Why ... Why did you kidnap me?" Kayla asked with a trembling voice. She dared not admit that she had sent them to find Margot, fearing they might be recording her words. If words got out, her life would be over!The man sneered. "Didn't I tell you? You seem pretty well-off. So, what do you say? Will you give us a hundred thousand dollars? If not, we might have to consider other options."His hand landed on Kayla's face. She felt disgusted and gagged immediately. But she was pinned down and couldn't move at all.Kayla sobbed, "I'll pay you. My card is in my bag, and exactly a hundred thousand dollars is in it. Just take it and let me go, please ..."The van was driving down the road when several cars appeared, blocking them off.The van screeched to a halt, and the people inside froze."What the hell? What's going on?""Some cars have surrounded us."The men exchanged confused looks.They had been ordered to scare Kayla, so why were there other people involved? What was goin
After finishing her game, Margot went to freshen up. When she came out, she noticed a new message from Benjamin.Benjamin wrote, "Don't contact me in the future."Margot was confused. What was going on? Why would he suddenly message her this?Margot immediately called him, but the call never went through. She realized she had been blocked.Margot was perplexed.She had been thinking about her next move. But he had blocked her! What happened?Margot sat on the edge of her bed, feeling uneasy. However, she understood that Benjamin must have had his reasons for doing this.In the afternoon, she noticed a change in how he looked at her. And now he had suddenly blocked her. Something must have happened.Margot sighed. It was really frustrating. If something really had happened, couldn't he at least inform her? They were friends, after all.With a heavy heart, Margot lay down on her bed and soon fell asleep. In her dreams, she once again revisited her past life. Memories played out
Margot sneered at him in disgust before she retracted her gaze. She waved her hand dismissively. "I must have been out of my mind to ask you two. You guys don't understand a thing."Both Dylan and David fell silent.Margot reminded them to focus on their work and left the hotel. She still needed to find Benjamin and get to the bottom of this.She had gone to the university both in the afternoon and evening but still hadn't seen any sign of Benjamin—instead, she ran into Patrick.She stopped Patrick. "Where's Benjamin? Is he not in school today?"Patrick hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Yes, he's absent today."Margot squinted her eyes and easily saw through Patrick's poor acting. "Bring Benjamin here right now. I have something to tell him."Patrick quickly argued, "He's not in school today. And I heard that the Inkling family is preparing to send him abroad for further studies. He must be getting ready for that."Margot gave him a skeptical look.Patrick felt chills ru
Kayla smiled shyly and glanced at Benjamin. He had sent someone to save her. That must mean that he liked her, right? Maybe he was treating her coldly before because they still didn't know each other well. Once they went abroad together, they would have plenty of time to get to know each other better. She was sure Benjamin would fall for her when that happened.Benjamin, on the other hand, snorted."What are you talking about, old man? Are you trying to set me up with someone?" Benjamin asked bluntly. He inspected Kayla and sneered disdainfully. "I'm not a scrap collection site."Both Kayla and Shane froze at his words.Shane furrowed his brows. "Watch your tongue, Benjamin."Benjamin sat on the couch and smirked deviously. "I am watching my tongue. Do you need me to become even more blunt? What do you take me for, Grandpa? "Do you think I'm an object that you can just give away? Don't you know I have standards? I'm quite picky with my woman."Kayla bit her lips sadly. Sh
Benjamin sneered and rested his elbow on the car door. He gave Kayla a weird smile. "What? Are you planning to accuse me of hitting you with my car?"Kayla shook her head and approached him. "That's not why I'm here. I just have a few questions for you."Benjamin checked the time on his expensive watch. "Speak."He sounded impatient.Kayla bit her lip sadly. "Benjamin, why did you save me that night?""What?" Benjamin furrowed his brows in confusion. He didn't know what she was talking about.Kayla couldn't find the right words to say. But her curiosity got the best of her, and she asked, "When I was being kidnapped, my rescuer claimed to be from the Inkling family. And the only person I know is you."She spoke with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, hoping that he would remember and treat her differently.Benjamin pondered for a moment. "I remember now. I did order someone to kidnap you that night."Kayla felt as if she had been struck by lightning. "What?"She stared at him in
Margot sighed. "Alright, don't think too much about it. Follow your plan, and things will turn out fine."Tamara nodded before hanging up the phone.Margot reluctantly glanced at the café before she turned to leave. She didn't deserve to buy a cup of expensive tea now.She headed straight home. It was already dinner time, and she needed to figure out what to eat.Just as she was waiting at the bus stop, a cup of tea appeared before her. She paused and looked up, only to find Benjamin standing there.Margot's face lit up. "Weren't you avoiding me all this time? Why did you suddenly appear?"Benjamin shifted around awkwardly before sitting down beside her. "Do you not want it?""Of course I do. It's free, after all." Margot immediately took the cup and drank it.It was her favorite tea!A mischievous smile tugged at Benjamin's lips when he saw how satisfied she was. He tapped his chin and muttered, "I have my reason for avoiding you.""I know." Margot nodded.Benjamin froze. "
Margot returned home. The dark cloud that hung heavy over her had disappeared following Benjamin's appearance. She could read his emotions like an open book, but she didn't expose him. But he would definitely ponder over her words. It was clear that they could never be just friends.She grew excited thinking of her next move. She had never done this before.Well, where should she start? What did boys like?She drifted into sleep with this thought in mind.The next day. After waking up and freshening up, Margot inspected the hotel out of habit. As she walked out, she noticed two cars parked right in front of her.She grew alert. She knew that as she got closer to Benjamin, people would definitely start to notice her.Did they find her already?She quietly took out her phone, preparing to call the police.Just then, Harris got out of one of the cars and looked at her. He calmly stated, "Ms. Zimmerman, Mr. Inkling has prepared this car for you. You won't have to take the sub
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
