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.
David looked at Dylan in bewilderment. "You don't believe me either?"Dylan gazed at him calmly. "I saw you interacting with someone else. I didn't say anything because I thought they were your friends. "However, after hearing what Ms. Zimmerman said, I suddenly realized that the three of us had been together for many years, but I had never seen you around with friends like those."David's expression grew darkened. Dylan continued, "Ms. Zimmerman might still give you another chance if you admit it now. But if the evidence piles up against you, I won't be able to protect you either."David's face became even more gloomy, and his clenched fists trembled with humiliation. He was furious but dared not vent his anger.After a long pause, he finally spoke, "I'm sorry, Ms. Zimmerman. It wasn't Lance who contacted me. It was a bodyguard. He promised to give me a million dollars after the job was done."A million dollars!David had never seen that much money in his entire life! With t
Margot arrived at Inkling Corporation. But instead of getting down, she sent a text to Benjamin. "I'm waiting for you downstairs."She didn't receive an immediate reply. However, she didn't mind waiting. So, she started playing a game on her phone.In her previous life, she was terrible at playing games. However, in this life, as soon as a new game was released, she registered an account and became a veteran player. Even if her skills declined in the future, she could still use some exclusive heroes or skins to impress others.Margot was enjoying the game when her phone rang. She quickly answered, "Please wait a moment. Let me finish this game first."Without waiting for a response, she hung up the call.Fortunately, the game was in its final round. After successfully destroying the opposing team's base, she exited the game and checked the call log.It was from an unknown number.Disappointment flashed in her eyes. She had thought it was Benjamin's call. She dialed the number
