Both Margot and Tamara fell silent at this.Sebastian was sneering at Margot.Margot felt shivers down her spine.“That’s not what I meant, Young Mr. Lynch. I wish to have some girl talk with Tamara. Can you… give us some privacy?” Margot said tactfully.If Sebastian still refused to give Tamara some privacy, it would mean he really was a clingy bitch.The president of ST Corporation and the top dog of Londsville was being a clingy bitch? That would be breaking news!As expected, Sebastian’s face fell at this. He gave one last glare to Margot before taking his leave.Margot froze. She felt a murderous undertone behind the glare.Scary…Tamara waited until Sebastian left the room before retracting her gaze. She had to hold herself back from laughing. “How daring of you.”Margot was the only one who had the guts to speak with Sebastian in such a manner.Margot rubbed her neck. “Tammy, it felt as if I was about to have my head chopped off. I’m terrified!”Tamara composed herse
Anthony was not expecting Sebastian. His head snapped toward Tamara.Tamara gave him a smile to show that everything was fine.Anthony relaxed at this.Sebastian observed the interaction between the two, and his gaze turned cold.Anthony pushed open the door, and the sight of the tied-up man who attacked Tamara back at the manor entered their eyes.The house was big but undecorated, and the cement floor was dirty. And so was the man after being left on the floor.Sebastian’s face darkened when he saw the man. He gave the man a murderous glare.Tamara frowned at the man. A cold glint glimmered within her eyes.“He refuses to talk,” informed Anthony.The man immediately smiled mockingly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I have never met you, yet you decided to kidnap me. I won’t let you off!”The man still had a backbone despite the situation he was in.Tamara took out a box from her backpack. Sebastian cocked an eyebrow when he saw the box.Tamara took out her scente
Sebastian’s expression darkened. He shifted his gaze onto Tamara and found her with knitted eyebrows.Anthony glanced at Tamara and watched as she took the cure from her bag and passed it to him.Anthony put the cure under the man’s nose. Once the man had a whiff of it, his painful itches faded away.The man couldn’t help but sigh in relief.He observed Tamara. He never thought a fragile-looking thing like Tamara would be so ruthless.The torture was etched into his bones, and he was in constant pain.Something sinister flashed across his eyes before it disappeared without a trace.…The couple came out of the house. Tamara looked at Sebastian from the corner of her eyes. She never thought Yareli was part of this scheme as well.On second thought, Yareli hated Tamara. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise if she had a hand in this.Tamara’s only concern was Sebastian’s next course of action.Sebastian noticed her stare and said coldly, “I’ll make sure she won’t be able to hurt
Tamara took the statement and scanned through it. Her eyebrows knitted at the content.“The employee said they were bribed into letting the man in, but they refused to give us the name of the person who bribed them,” explained the guard.Sebastian’s face fell. “Have you checked their bank account for any transactions?”“We did, but we found nothing suspicious. They must have taken the bribery in cash,” said the guard.Sebastian snorted, “What a careful person.”The guard felt shivers going down his spine. He looked at the employee. “If you don’t spit it out, you might just lose your life.”The employee shut their eyes and refused to talk.“How stubborn.” Sebastian stared coldly at the employee.Tamara took out the scented tea from her back and passed it to the guard.Sebastian glanced at the item before his gaze landed on Tamara. “Why do you bring that everywhere?”Tamara signed, “It’s for self-defense.”Sebastian’s eyes darkened as he stared at Tamara’s smile.Tamara sucke
Sebastian had good intentions. He merely wanted to protect Tamara. However, Tamara disliked the idea of having someone watching over her.“There’s no need. I have someone who could protect me. I’ll be fine,” signed Tamara.Sebastian’s face fell. “You have someone to protect you? If that were true, the incident back at the manor wouldn’t have happened.”Tamara fell silent.That was true.Tamara bit her lips and gave an embarrassed look at Sebastian.Her eyes were pure, and she looked innocent.Sebastian furrowed his brows and turned to stare at the cliff below. “I really feel like throwing you off the cliff, Tamara. I really can’t catch a break with you around.”Tamara smiled when she heard this.That meant Sebastian was willing to fulfill her wish.Tamara came closer to Sebastian before going on her tip-toe to kiss Sebastian on the cheek.Once she got what she wanted, she turned to escape.However, Sebastian caught her by the arm and pulled her into his embrace. “A kiss on
“How dare you?” replied Jocelyn.Tamara could sense Jocelyn’s frustration just by reading her text.Tamara couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows at this. She knew how spoiled Jocelyn was. She just didn’t think it was to this extent.Jocelyn was only 18 years old. Even so, she lived outstation for some time, so how did she end up like this?Tamara was still deep in thought, when a message popped in: “I don’t care. You are my aunt, so you have to take care of me. If you don’t, I’ll take you to court.”This little brat didn’t know when to back down.What a rude girl!Tamara replied: “It seemed that you’re dead set on leeching off of me, Jocelyn Simmons.”Jocelyn replied: “I’m merely telling the truth. I don’t want to be wasting any more time on you, Tamara. Hurry up and give me some money. I want a million dollars!”Tamara's frown deepened. She typed: “Why do you need a million dollars?”Jocelyn replied: “Just shut up and give me the money.”Tamara replied: “I’m not giving you
Eugenia’s face fell. “I wonder what Young Mrs. Lynch meant by that?”Tamara smiled faintly, but there was something intimidating behind her eyes. One look at her will send shivers down anyone’s spine. “What I meant was no one is perfect. Some people are just know-it-alls. You have some piano skills, while I know sign language. It’s normal to not be able to play the piano, just like how it’s normal to not know sign language. I hope I have said it in a way that Miss Cooper could understand?” Eugenia was offended. She never thought Tamara would take the chance to teach her a lesson.Who did Tamara think she was?“You jest, Young Mrs. Lynch. The reason why I can’t understand sign language is that I’m not mute. Unlike you, I can still communicate with others without signing my words,” mocked Eugenia.Tamara’s eyes turned cold. Eugenia continued, “Sorry, I take that back. Even if you knew sign language, you still wouldn’t be able to communicate with anyone, since everyone around is lik
Tamara hid her smile behind her hand. Ms. Thompson hurriedly handed the food over. “Here you go. Since you’re going there, you might as well have your dinner with Young Mr. Lynch.”After handing the food over, Ms. Thomspon practically ran away. It was as if she was afraid of what Tamara would say.Tamara touched her face. Did she look scary?…The driver was already waiting at the front door. Tamara changed out of her home clothes before getting in the car.The evening sky was dyed a beautiful pink. It looked like a scene straight out of a fairytale.When she arrived at ST Corporation, Tamara was greeted by the front desk lady in the lobby. “Hello, miss. Do you have an appointment?”This was the first time Tamara came to ST Corporation. No one here knew who she was.Tamara gave a faint smile. Just when she was about to pull her phone out, the door to the lift opened, and out came Jerome. “Young Mrs. Lynch, Young Mr. Lynch had asked me to bring you up.”Tamara nodded.Jerome t
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
