Margot tensed. She didn't expect to be caught peeking. She felt embarrassed and quickly said, "I wasn't looking at anything."Sebastian's icy gaze focused on her for a moment before he turned to Benjamin. "Keep your woman in check."With that, he picked up his empty tray and left.Benjamin looked at Margot. "Why were you staring at him just now?"Margot stammered, "I just wanted to introduce him to someone ...""What?" Benjamin looked surprised by her response. He suddenly burst into laughter. "I just said he would have a hard time finding a wife with that personality. Are you trying to set him up because you're afraid he won't find one in the future?"Margot snickered. "I was just joking around. Don't take it seriously, and don't tell him either."Benjamin smiled at her, "You have interesting thoughts.""Forget it." Margot dismissed the idea. She decided to let things unfold naturally. If Tamara didn't want any involvement with Sebastian, forcing them together would only mak
Margot returned home and leaned against the door. She recalled the scene from earlier, and a faint blush crept up on her. She cupped her cheeks in embarrassment. Then, something dawned on her. Was this the joy of teasing a man? Why didn't she flirt with Benjamin earlier in her past life? He was such a fun guy to tease! Benjamin was an experienced player in her previous life, and she couldn't measure up to him. But now, Benjamin was still pure and innocent. Margot was filled with anticipation for the future.She quickly poured herself a glass of water to cool down her racing thoughts. She sat on the couch and took out her phone. She noticed Benjamin had just sent her a text.It read, "Miss you."Margot giggled at this. They had only been apart for a few minutes. Did he have to be so clingy? She suppressed her laughter and sent back a kiss emoji.However, Benjamin didn't immediately reply after she sent the emoji. Margot didn't mind. He was probably driving.She placed h
Alex's face was filled with excitement and happiness. She was the only one whose emotions mirrored Tamara's.Margot calmly withdrew her gaze and said to Tamara, "This is great! You can speak and live a normal life now."She hadn't expected Tamara's recovery to happen so quickly.Tamara nodded. "Thank you, Margot."She didn't have to say anything else. They both knew exactly what she meant.Margot asked, "Didn't you meet your grandmother and uncle? Where are they now?"Tamara smiled. "They are staying at a hotel."Margot nodded. "What's the next move?"Before Tamara could answer, a cold gaze fell on Margot. She shivered unconsciously.Jacob looked at her. "Ms. Zimmerman, are you free right now? I'd like to talk to you in private."Margot felt a hint of hostility coming from him. But she was prepared for this. After she arrived here, Tamara exhibited many strange behaviors, including the sudden recovery of her voice. Jacob was a smart man. He would definitely be suspicious.
Jacob stared at Margot coldly with his sharp gaze.Margot found herself shaking uncontrollably. Jacob exuded an overwhelming sense of power and presence. But at the same time, she couldn't help but feel puzzled. If Jacob was this powerful, how did he end up in such a miserable state in his past life? Why was he driven to the point of suicide?Margot couldn't comprehend it. But, of course, this wasn't the right time to dwell on that.Jacob looked at her for a moment, and his expression suddenly softened. "I don't care what you know. But if you ever hurt my family, I'll hunt you down."It was a stern warning. Yet, Margot breathed a sigh of relief. "I will never hurt Tammy."But Quentin was a different story. He was a jerk.However, this only made her even more confused. Jacob was powerful, and Alex was smart. How did they end up with someone like Quentin? Was he not their biological son?The thought crossed her mind, but she immediately dismissed it.Quentin looked exactly like
"What's wrong?" Margot noticed Tamara's disappointment and asked in confusion.Tamara sighed. "My father won't allow me to go out."Margot huffed. "That was in the past. He used to prevent you from going out because he was afraid someone might take advantage of you. But things are different now. You can speak now! So you won't be mistreated. I'm sure he'll let you go out."Hope sparkled in Tamara's eyes. "Really?"Margot held her hand. "We won't know unless we give it a try."With that, she led Tamara out of the room and headed downstairs."Where are you going?" Just then, Quentin's displeased voice sounded.Tamara froze, and Margot turned to Quentin with an annoyed look. "Why do you care? Why are you so nosy?"Quentin's face fell. "Are you taking her out? We won't allow that. She's mute. Are you trying to embarrass the Simmons family by taking her out?"Margot narrowed her eyes dangerously at him. "You should shut the fuck up if you don't have anything nice to say. Didn't you
Margot was glad to see the smile on Tamara's face. Margot couldn't help but wonder what if none of the events of the past had occurred. In that case, Tamara wouldn't have had to endure so much hardship and could have lived a carefree life. Margot let out a sigh, realizing that they were just "what-ifs.""Margot," just then, a familiar voice rang out. Margot turned around and saw Benjamin standing behind her, with the aloof Sebastian beside him.Margot was surprised. "You're still at school?"Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "Are you not here for me?"Margot suddenly felt guilty and awkwardly scratched her nose. She decided to be honest. "Actually, no."Benjamin's face fell. "So you're not here for me?"He sounded like he would have a breakdown if Margot nodded to his question."Margot." Just then, Tamara walked over. She cast Benjamin a curious look. "Is he your boyfriend?"An idea suddenly occurred to Margot. "I went to Tammy's house this afternoon, and she found out that I w
Not wanting to appear too childish, Benjamin immediately put on a stern face and followed Margot in silence.Sebastian suddenly spoke up, "I'm leaving."Benjamin immediately grabbed him. "Don't go. It will be boring with just me around."Sebastian shrugged. "That's your problem. You can leave too."Benjamin looked at him in disbelief. "Seb, seriously, don't you want a girlfriend?"Sebastian sneered at him. "Why have you become so disgusting after getting into a relationship?"Benjamin was shocked. "Disgusting? Just wait until you're in a relationship. I'll make sure you'll eat your own words."Sebastian scoffed.Benjamin gritted his teeth. "In any case, you can't leave."Sebastian glanced at Benjamin's hand. "Let go."Benjamin, still gritting his teeth, reluctantly released his grip. He sighed in relief when Sebastian made no move to leave.His gaze fell on the two girls ahead. It seemed like they had long forgotten about Benjamin and Sebastian.Benjamin pouted sadly.At t
Tamara let out a soft whimper and quickly stumbled back. She raised her head, only to see a cold face staring at her impatiently.That person was none other than Sebastian.Tamara was startled, and the words Margot had said to her came to mind. Her face immediately flushed bright red."Sorry ..." She quickly lowered her head and hurriedly walked around him.Sebastian frowned, wondering why she was so afraid of him. ...Margot and Benjamin were chatting when they saw Tamara return with her head down, looking extremely embarrassed.Margot immediately asked, "What's wrong, Tammy? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll help you deal with them!"Tamara quickly shook her head. "No."Margot carefully observed her. It was then that she noticed that Sebastian was nowhere to be seen. She gave a knowing smile. "It's getting late. Do you want to go home now?"Tamara nodded. "Okay."Margot stood up. "We'll accompany you back."Tamara shook her head. "There's no need for that. I can go ba
