Trevor and Victora immediately stepped forward. Shane was still in a semi-conscious state. He was being wheeled out, wearing an oxygen mask."Doctor, how is my father?" Trevor asked.The doctor nodded. "He's doing fine. We have treated his heart problem. He should avoid any stress and have plenty of rest for the time being.""Alright." The group then proceeded to the hospital room. After a while, Shane slowly regained consciousness."Father, how are you feeling now?" Trevor asked.Shane blinked slowly. "I feel like I'm still alive."Trevor frowned. "Father, now is not the time for jokes. Please let us know if you have any wishes. We'll make sure to fulfill them."Shane looked at him. "Really?"Trevor fell silent.Victoria chimed in, "Father, I've arranged for maids to take care of you. You should focus on your recovery. Don't worry about the company. We'll handle everything."However, Shane muttered, "Let Benjamin join the company."Trevor furrowed his brows. "No, he hasn't
Shane glanced at her and hoarsely asked, "Who are you really?"Margot smiled. "I am Margot Zimmerman, Benjamin's future wife. I will always stand by his side and protect him."Shane fell silent and cast her a complex expression. Margot could understand his doubts. Her behavior and demeanor were far from that of a typical 20-year-old girl. How could a 20-year-old be this far-sighted? How did she acquire such consideration and insight? Her gaze was resolute, and the maturity she displayed was well beyond her age.Margot continued, "I know you have your concerns. How about we make a bet? Give me two years. Within these two years, Benjamin and I won't get married. "I will do everything I can to stand by his side. And if I am still the same as I am today, I'll leave him for good."Shane wanted to scoff, but he lacked the strength. He croaked, "You are quite bold."Margot remained calm. "I'm just stating a condition that will be fair to both of us. Besides, it's only two years
Benjamin looked at her with confusion. "What do you mean?"Margot ended up telling him about the little agreement she had with Shane. After all, if she didn't, this would weigh on his mind, and he would definitely ask Shane about it. And that would only worsen Shane's health. She didn't want Benjamin to lose a family member, especially since he didn't have many to begin with.Benjamin remained silent on their way out of the hospital. He suddenly grabbed Margot's wrist and pulled her close when they got into the car.Margot was startled by his actions and smiled. "What are you doing?"Benjamin mumbled solemnly, "Margot, you're too good, and that highlights just how useless I am."Margot grew serious. "Nonsense! How could you say that you're useless? You're the heir of the Inkling family and the future president of the Inkling Corporation!"She continued with a smile, "Of course, I'll be your future wife. Just thinking about it feels wonderful."Benjamin chuckled softly. "Alrigh
Margot was puzzled. "Why are you asking about this?"Natasha pondered for a moment. "I'm just curious. Benjamin mentioned that your initial meeting was quite unusual and left a deep impression on him. I was curious about what kind of encounter could make such a lasting impression on him."Margot blinked. "He told you about this?"Natasha nodded and smiled. "Truth be told, it was his way of rejecting me. He said that being with you left a deep impression on him. You have etched yourself into his entire being and made a home in his heart, leaving no space for anyone else."Margot's heart fluttered at this. That sounded exactly like something Benjamin would say.Margot shrugged. "It wasn't actually that unusual. I've known him for a long time, and our meeting back then was just a coincidence ..."She briefly recounted the story of how they had met before she looked back at Natasha. "Ms. Gunn, do you have feelings for Benjamin?"Natasha fell silent for a moment before nodding. "Yes,
Natasha immediately smiled brightly.It wasn't until Natasha left the private room that Margot realized what she had just said. Her mind brimmed with thoughts.Was it okay to meet up with a woman who had the hots for her man?Margot quickly took a sip of her coffee to calm herself down.Just then, her phone rang. She checked it and saw that it was a call from Tamara. "Hello, Tammy."Tamara lazily asked, "What are you doing?"Margot hesitated for a moment. "I just met my love rival."Tamara perked up. "What happened? Did she cause trouble for you?"Margot cleared her throat. "No, she didn't. I don't know how to explain the situation."Tamara's tone grew serious. "Did she threaten you? Is she trying to harm you?"Margot sighed and recounted the entire incident in great detail.After listening, Tamara remained silent for a long time.Margot didn't rush her and sipped her coffee slowly.After a while, Tamara's hesitant voice finally came through. "So, she ... wants to be fri
Margot proudly lifted her chin. "You have a good eye."Benjamin held her hand and placed it against his cheek, rubbing against it gently. He looked at her with reddened eyes. "You'll always be by my side, won't you?"Margot's heart softened. "Yes."Benjamin smiled happily, like a child. He suddenly looked at her seriously. "Actually, this question has been bothering me for a while."Margot blinked. "And what's that?"Benjamin gazed at her. "Why did you call yourself my future wife as soon as you saw me? It's like you had your eyes set on me for a long time."Margot was amused by him. "You're right. I did have my eyes on you for some time now. Don't you remember? We've met before."Benjamin was taken aback. "Really?"Margot nodded. "Yes. I won't lie to you. I was the one who discovered you sneaking a cigarette for the first time."Benjamin was stunned by this. He seemed bewildered, and after a while, he mumbled, "So, you're the one from back then."Margot looked at him in pl
Margot nodded. "Sigh ... Ms. Gunn seems to be deeply infatuated with you. She even came specifically to inquire about how we met."She glanced at Benjamin and continued, "I wonder if she'll continue pursuing you or switch her focus to me."Benjamin immediately huffed. "She won't be able to win me over. And if she hurts you, I'll make her life a living hell."Despite him saying it casually, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.Margot smirked. "I was just joking around. I don't think she'll do anything to me. In fact, she might give up on you."Benjamin raised an eyebrow. "What makes you say that?""Between a man who doesn't like her and a friend she can get along with, which one do you think she would choose?" Margot asked.Benjamin was silent for a moment. "What do you think?"Margot burst into laughter. "I think she would choose the latter. After all, she thinks she can get any man she wants."Benjamin clicked his tongue. "I'm not like other men.""Look at that proud sm
Margot called Kevan over. "David said he lost something in the basement. Please go help him find it."Kevan was puzzled. "What did he lose?"Margot shook her head. "I don't know either."Kevan didn't question it and headed straight for the basement.Meanwhile, Margot sat on the couch in the lobby and summoned Jake.Jake had a piece of weed in his mouth as he calmly said, "Lance has bribed David. He wants to lock you in the basement and stage a fire."Margot looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect him to already know about this. "If you knew, why didn't you tell me earlier?"Jake shrugged. "Didn't you already sense that something was wrong?"Margot fell silent.Jake continued, "I've fixed the damaged wiring that he tampered with. There wouldn't be a fire even if you went to the basement."Margot remained silent. Jake was something else. He had thought of everything, which was why he didn't bother to warn her.Time passed, but Kevan still hadn't come up from the basement.
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
