Disbelief crossed Victoria's face. What was Margot talking about? Not only had Margot given her the cold shoulder, but she had also outright refused her. Did she realize how many people in Londsville wanted to get on her good side? How could Margot dare to ignore her?Victoria's expression turned ugly. Did Margot somehow figure out what she was planning? How could that be? She only came up with the plan when she learned about Margot. She hadn't even told anyone about it and immediately sought out Margot. She wanted to give her a test.But if that wasn't the case, why would Margot reject her this bluntly?Victoria was puzzled. It looked like she needed to find another way to deal with Margot...."Tammy." Margot quickly walked to Tamara's side in surprise. "Why are you here?"Tamara was also stunned. "I met up with Sebastian. What about you?""Sebastian?" Margot paused and gave a meaningful smile. "What's going on? Are you two planning to get together?""What are you talking
Sebastian soon got back to his senses.What was he thinking? Why should he confront her about this? They were just strangers. If he did go up to her now, with how shy she was, she would surely be frightened by him.After some thinking, Sebastian had a feeling Tamara wasn't as shy as she let on. Yet she had always been shy around him.Sebastian's annoyance grew. He turned and left with a dark look on his face.…Tamara and Margot got into the car.As the driver started for the construction site, they quietly discussed the dreams that Tamara had been having.Tamara grew curious about the future. Margot asked, "Are you sure you want to know? Will knowing the truth change anything?"Tamara smiled. "I'm just curious. It's been bothering me a lot. I don't like the feeling."Margot smiled. "What are you curious about? Just so you know, there are many things I don't know either. I only have a general idea of what went down."Tamara pondered for a moment. "What happened to Quent
Tamara returned home and saw Alex sitting in the living room. She hesitated before deciding to approach her. "Mom, what are you doing?"Alex looked at her with a gentle gaze. "Your grandmother asked us to have dinner with her. I'm preparing some scented tea leaves to help her relax."Tamara watched her deft movements. A new batch of scented tea leaves appeared on the table in no time.Tamara was surprised. "You're really amazing, Mom. Do you have any other secrets I don't know about?"Alex gave her a helpless look. "Do you want to learn all my skills?"Tamara's eyes lit up. "Does that mean you have other skills? Please tell me. What else can you teach me? I want to learn!""Alright." Alex put down the tools in her hand and organized them. "Due to limited space, I'll teach you one thing for now so you won't get hurt in the future."There was a hint of excitement in Tamara's eyes. "Tell me!""Follow me." Alex stood up and said to her. Tamara immediately followed her. The two wa
A sense of relief washed over Margot at the thought. One hour later, Margot got out of the car and walked into the campus. She took out her phone and called Benjamin."Margot?" Just then, a surprised voice sounded. "Why are you here?"Margot turned around and saw Amy standing behind her. She was staring at Margot in disbelief. She couldn't believe her eyes.Margot quirked an eyebrow. She was not expecting to meet an old acquaintance here.Amy approached her. "You also got into this university? When did you pass the entrance exam? Why didn't I know about it?"Margot put down her phone. "Did you stop me just to ask about this?"Amy gritted her teeth. She had always envied Margot's beauty. That was why she always bullied and isolated Margot since she was young. Amy never thought she would see Margot again after she left the orphanage.Amy observed Margot and sneered, "Judging from your looks, you didn't come here to study. Did you get yourself a rich boyfriend? Are you here to
Margot and Benjamin arrived at a small restaurant outside. Benjamin glanced at the menu and furrowed his brows. "Are you sure you want to eat here?"Margot nodded. "This place is pretty good, and it's affordable."Benjamin sighed. "Alright, you can order whatever you like."Margot immediately took the menu and ordered two dishes from the waiter. Then she looked at Benjamin. "What about you?"Benjamin responded, "That should be enough. Let's keep it simple. I'll take you out for a fancy dinner tonight.""Okay!" Margot's eyes lit up.She looked at him. "Victoria came to see me earlier today."Benjamin tensed. "What does she want? Did she give you a hard time?"Margot smiled. "You don't have to be so nervous. Do you think I'm a pushover? Anyway, she didn't give me a hard time. She wanted to befriend me."Benjamin furrowed his brows. "Is she that kind?"Margot stared at him. "Do you remember the dream I told you about?"Benjamin nodded. "Yes."Margot continued, "Victoria also t
When it was about time, Margot left her apartment in the evening just as Benjamin had finished school. The area was sparsely populated, mainly by elderly residents who moved at a leisurely pace.Margot carried a bag of trash downstairs. Just as she threw the trash into the bin, she heard hurried footsteps behind her.She turned slowly. The next moment, Anthony and another man appeared, pinning down the person who had tried to kidnap her.Margot glanced at the unfamiliar man. "Who are you?"The man replied coldly, "My name is Jake. Mr. Lynch sent me to protect you."Jake? Mr. Lynch? As in, Sebastian Lynch?Sebastian sent someone to protect her?Margot stared at the man in shock. "You ... He … Why would he send someone to protect me? Hey! Listen closely! I'm not close with him!"Jake sighed. "It was Mr. Inkling who asked Mr. Lynch to send someone to protect you."Jake wondered about Margot's thoughts. The man who was pinned to the ground hissed, "Hey! Remember me? I'm still he
"Hello?" There was a hint of helplessness in Margot's tone.A hesitant voice came from the other end of the line. "Uh ... I just want to confirm. You will give me double the money, right?"He amused Margot. "Yes."Cole immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I just couldn't believe that such a young girl like you could give me a hundred thousand dollars. A hundred thousand fucking dollars!"Margot hesitated for a moment. "You don't find it weird that I have two bodyguards watching over me?""Oh, right." Cole suddenly had an epiphany. "I'm not worried now. You must be a rich young lady who came to experience what it's like to be poor."Margot fell silent.He really had a vivid imagination.Cole muttered, "Alright then, I'll hang up now. I'll call you after the job is done."Then he hung up the phone.Margot remained silent.She looked at her phone and couldn't help but feel a mixture of amusement and frustration. Could someone with his personality really finish
Shane's tone softened when he noticed Benjamin's silence. "Benjamin, you are my eldest grandson, and I hope you live a good life. I don't want you causing unhappiness within the family like you are now."Benjamin remained silent. He played with the lighter, flipping it with elegant and composed movements.Shane sighed at Benjamin's silence. "I'm doing all this for your own good."After that, he fell silent too.Benjamin couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. What did he mean by this was for his own good? What was Shane planning to do?Benjamin's brows furrowed as he looked out of the window. He didn't recognize where he was but could tell it was some fancy place.Benjamin suppressed his displeasure and waited to see what Shane had in store for him....Margot arrived at the school and saw Patrick coming out. She didn't see Benjamin, so she stopped Patrick and asked, "Where's Benjamin?"Patrick looked surprised when he saw her. "He said he was going to find you."Margot
