Tamara and Sebastian continued to give the host a blank look.It was Margot's turn to laugh. "Holy shit! Is the electric stove worth that much?"Benjamin couldn't help but laugh along. "This is the first time I've seen Seb like this. Look at how angry he is! But he can't direct his anger anywhere!"Margot began recording with her phone. "I have to capture this moment!"She was sure the two would still be embarrassed by this even years later.Meanwhile, back on stage.Tamara was very embarrassed. She looked at the host and asked, "Can I skip this task?"The host smiled and shook his head. "I'm afraid not. To claim the prize, you must complete the task. You and this gentleman are a couple, right? It's just ten seconds of eye contact. It might even enhance your relationship."Tamara sighed to herself. They weren't a couple. But explaining now would probably make it even more awkward.Just then, a hand grabbed her by the shoulder and forced her to turn around.Tamara was startled
Tamara gave Margot a helpless look.Sebastian's cold gaze fell on Margot, and she immediately felt a chill running down her spine. She promptly stopped laughing and sat up straight."I'm bored. Let's find a spot for the meteor shower," Margot said to Benjamin.Benjamin smiled. "You backed down quickly."Margot pinched his waist playfully. But she was met with solid muscles. There was nothing she could hold on to.Benjamin held her hand. "Let's go."Margot looked at Tamara. "Come on, let's go watch the meteor shower."Tamara nodded and stood up to follow them.She couldn't wait to leave this place.However, Sebastian suddenly called out to her. "Tamara.""Yes?" Tamara turned to look at him.Sebastian handed the electric stove to her. "Don't you want this?"The corners of Tamara's mouth twitched. "You can have it. I don't need it."With that, she ran away.Sebastian looked at the electric stove in his hand and then at her retreating figure. His heart unexpectedly skipped a
Margot turned to Tamara. "Isn't that right?"Tamara giggled. "You're right."Margot raised her chin, looking quite pleased with herself."It's here." Just then, Sebastian, who was standing behind them, suddenly spoke up.Everyone immediately looked up and saw stars shooting across the sky.Margot immediately clasped her hands together. "Make a wish! Make a wish!"She closed her eyes. She hoped for a peaceful life, for Benjamin to be safe, and for them to be together forever.At the same time, Tamara, who was gazing at the meteor shower, felt a burst of white light rushing toward her. She instinctively reached out to block it. But in the blink of an eye, the white light disappeared."Did you see something?" Just then, Sebastian's voice sounded beside her.Tamara looked at him hesitantly, "I saw a streak of white light."Sebastian pursed his lips.He had also seen a ball of white light rushing toward them before disappearing. He had also seen Tamara's instinctive reaction to d
Margot furrowed her brows. "You must escort Tamara home safely."Benjamin hesitated. Margot was the most important person to him, and Tamara was still a stranger.Tamara quickly interjected, "Stop it. The public transport is still operating at this hour. I'll just hop on a bus and go home. The bus should be filled with people at this hour, so I won't be in any danger. Besides, I have a bodyguard secretly protecting me."Margot was stunned, and she suddenly remembered about Anthony.She pursed her lips, realizing that it wasn't the right time to discuss this. She nodded. "Alright, your bodyguard can take care of you."Tamara smiled and nodded. "You go attend to your business. Let me know once everything is resolved over there. Call me if you need my help.""Alright." Margot nodded.The group continued walking toward the exit. Half an hour later, they arrived at the parking lot.Benjamin suddenly said to Sebastian, "Seb, you have a car, right? Why don't you take Ms. Tamara home?"
Soon, they arrived at the Simmons' residence.Tamara unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to Sebastian. "Thank you."Sebastian glanced at her and hummed coldly.Tamara didn't feel awkward by his response. She had come to understand that he was a cold and aloof person. It was good enough that he wasn't ignoring her.She opened the car door and got out. She swiftly entered the manor.Sebastian didn't leave immediately but watched her silhouette disappear behind the gate. Only then did he retract his gaze.Since seeing that ball of white light, strange emotions started bubbling up within him.It was bizarre.Sebastian placed his hand on his chest and drove away.Inside the manor's living room. Alex and Jacob were sitting on the couch. Both of them had a grim look on their faces. When they saw Tamara walk in, Alex immediately stood up and carefully examined her. Only after confirming that she was unharmed did she finally relax."Tammy, please inform us when you're going out in t
Tamara hugged Alex. "Good night, Mom.""Good night." Alex made sure Tamara returned to her room before going back to hers. She had already finished her evening routine and was waiting for Tamara to come back.Her expression turned cold when she saw Jacob. She pulled open the covers and got under it.Jacob immediately put the book down and turned off the lights. He came over to hold her."Don't touch me." Alex's voice was tired and cold.Jacob paused, but he still forcibly hugged her. His breath fell on her neck.Alex's voice grew even colder. "You're getting old, Jacob. Why can't you control yourself better?"Jacob chuckled. "How else am I supposed to satisfy you?"Alex frowned. "Why didn't you believe Tammy?"Jacob tightened his hold on her. "Alex, I already made my compromise."Alex's breath hitched.Jacob turned her around and gazed into her eyes. "Stop thinking about him."Alex stared back at him and silently relented.…Once Tamara was done with her nightly routine,
Dylan, Kevan, and David stood in front of the ruins, each with a guilty look on their faces."We're sorry, Ms. Zimmerman. It's our fault for not keeping watch better." Dylan avoided Margot's gaze.Margot's hand clenched into a fist as she gazed at the hotel, now reduced to ruins. The firefighters had already left, and the hard work of the past half month had gone to waste.Benjamin also wore a grim expression. He called Harris. "Find out who set the fire tonight!"Harris realized the gravity of the situation and immediately went to investigate.Benjamin hugged Margot. "I will get to the bottom of this. That person won't get away with it."He already had a few suspects in mind.Margot closed her eyes briefly before looking up at him. "Benjamin, what I'm about to say may sound unbelievable, but I hope you can trust me."Benjamin saw how serious Margot was and nodded. "Alright. Tell me. I'll believe you."His determined gaze was enough to warm Margot's heart.She mumbled, "Let's
Margot pursed her lips. She knew that it would be difficult for him to believe her story. It was just too far-fetched. Who would believe in a dream?She took another sip of water, preparing herself for the worst possibility. She could always earn more if she ran out of money. But the club had to reopen!"Margot." Just then, Benjamin spoke up."Yes?" Margot put on a calm façade as she looked at him.Benjamin held her hand. "I have a way to prevent Kayla from leaving the country. As for that island, please tell me more about it."Margot let out a breath of relief and smiled. "You're not powerful enough right now to deal with the island. Let's deal with them after you inherit the Inkling Corporation."They still have more immediate crises to deal with. They couldn't afford to waste their time on the island.Benjamin's brows furrowed. Indeed, he wasn't powerful enough. Lance had been eyeing him, and Margot's situation might be connected to him in some way."Alright, then I'll becom
