This was Margot’s office, and it looked as if Tamara was familiar with this place.

Hadn’t she been hidden away from the world by her family? Yet, she was familiar with a place like this…

Sebastian was frozen in his spot and watched as the numbers on the elevator went down. He wanted to see which floor the elevator would stop at.

“What are you doing here, Sebastian?”

Benjamin had just walked out of Margot’s office when he saw Sebastian standing by the elevator.

Sebastian turned to him. “Did you manage to get anything out of her?”

Benjamin smiled softly. “Not really. But I do know that the mixologist is a married woman.”

Sebastian fell silent.

Benjamin noticed his silence and said, “How’s that? Pretty good, right?”

Sebastian turned his gaze to the lift. It had reached the lowest floor.

Why did Tamara head there?

Benjamin noticed Sebastian’s gaze and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Sebastian pressed for the elevator and the door next to him opened. He walked in and gave Benja

    “Damn it! I don’t understand sign language!” Darkness marred Sebastian’s features as he shot an unfriendly scowl at Tamara.However, the latter refused to waste her breath on him anymore. She turned on her heels and headed upstairs. “Did I say you could leave?” Sebastian’s arm instantly shot forward to grab her wrist. With a forceful yank, he pulled her into his arms.Tamara’s back crashed against Sebastian’s firm and warm chest. Once they made contact, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked a little panicked as she struggled to break free.“Know your place, Tamara! You’re here for one purpose—to birth my child! You have no authority to throw a tantrum!” Sebastian snarled icily while tightening his iron-like grip on her wrist.Rage seethed from Tamara, who glared viciously at him and thought, “Let go of me!”Only after noticing her anxious state did Sebastian finally release her.Tamara then searched the place, eventually finding a pen and some paper atop a nearby cabinet.

    Tamara sat on the floor in her room upstairs. Several tools were piled up beside her while a pair of safety goggles shielded her eyes. With tweezers, she gingerly placed the last scented tea leaf into a jar before letting out a long, relieved sigh. She exclaimed in her heart, “It’s finally done!” Suddenly, the door swung open, causing Tamara’s head to whip around. Her gaze immediately landed on Sebastian, who stood at the door.His presence caused her expression to darken as she stood and signed at him, “Why didn’t you knock?”Sebastian flashed a prickly look while thundering, “Type whatever you’re saying!”Tamara recalled that Sebastian did not understand sign language, so she frowned while taking out her phone to reiterate her question. She typed: “Why didn’t you knock?”“This is my home,” Sebastian replied with a dangerously low tone.Tamara’s reply was: “But this is my room!” Seeing how aggravated she was, Sebastian felt inexplicably pleased. His dark eyes were fixated on

    Tamara handed the bank card to Scarface.He then passed it to his subordinate to run some verifications. It did not take long before the latter leaned closer to his ear and whispered, “There’s indeed 1.5 million dollars in here.”Scarface’s eyes narrowed as he alertly examined Tamara, who stood before him. It shocked him that she actually managed to gather that much money. Amused, something malicious flickered in his smug gaze as he said, “Little lady, my subordinate just checked, and it seems the money in your card is running a little short.”Tamara froze as her well-groomed brows drew close. It took a moment before she typed: “That’s impossible. There’s 1.5 million dollars on this card!”“Indeed. However, the 1.5 million dollars is only what your family owes. It doesn’t include the interest on your debt for the past three days,” Scarface rebuked.“This bastard! Is he trying to get more money out of me?” thought Tamara. She scowled frostily and typed: “But we agreed that you woul

    Watching the scene play out in a car from a distance was Rowena, who had worn a hat to disguise herself. A pleased yet almost psychotic emotion flickered in her eyes while she mused, “Burn in hell, Tamara Simmons!”“Young Mr. Lynch, Ms. Simmons is in danger!” Jerome received news about Tamara from his subordinates and hurriedly informed Sebastian.At that moment, Sebastian was sorting through documents in his office. His features darkened to coal once he heard those words. “What happened?”Jerome promptly showed the video his subordinates recorded to Sebastian. The latter lowered his gaze onto the screen and saw Tamara standing before several burly men. Her tiny frame seemed to shrink by the minute. On top of that, it was evident from first sight that the men were up to no good.“Get the car!” Sebastian boomed, enraged at how Tamara always got into trouble. Worrying and vexing thoughts swirled in his mind like a hurricane as he thought, “Although it’s unclear what’s going on in t

    When they arrived at the hospital, Sebastian got out of the car, walked to the passenger’s seat, opened the door, and carried Tamara out bridal style. The gesture shocked Tamara, whose instinct was to wriggle out of his grasp.“Stop moving!” Sebastian’s arrogant and domineering growl sounded as he brought her into the hospital.Fearing she would fall, Tamara wrapped her arms around Sebastian’s neck. She then blinked while taking in every inch of his handsome face, wondering, “W—Why is he doing this?”Before she could contemplate his actions, Sebastian arranged for her to go through a series of check-ups. Only after receiving the examination results and confirming the safety of Tamara’s baby did his thin-lipped frown ease up.He stood in the hospital lobby, his eyes boring holes into Tamara as he spoke frostily, “I don’t want anything like today’s events to happen again, Tamara Simmons. Do you understand?”Tamara pursed her lips and nodded. Even she had to admit the events today

    Tamara’s smile stiffened then and there.“Yeah.” Sebastian nodded. “She’s mute, but she’s pregnant with my child.”One could tell Old Mr. Lynch was displeased by the entire ordeal. After that, he only spoke with Sebastian and completely ignored Tamara, not sparing her even a single glance.Tamara maintained the same humble posture while standing aside. Sometime later, Sebastian’s gaze swept past his wife. A complex emotion swirled in his dark orbs as he said, “Grandpa, you’ve just recovered, so you should get some rest.”Old Mr. Lynch naturally understood the intention behind his grandson’s words. He shot a quick look at Tamara before nodding. “Alright. You can head home now and visit me tomorrow.”“Okay,” replied a nodding Sebastian, who headed toward the door. Tamara awkwardly blinked twice, flashed a polite smile at Old Mr. Lynch, then turned to leave with her husband. Alas, before she could, the ward’s door flung open to reveal Yareli and Rowena.“What are you doing here,

    “Y—You!” Yareli stuttered. Never did she picture Tamara as someone capable of arrogance. Now that it happened, she wondered if the latter intended to stay in the Lynch family forever.With her nose scrunched into a sneer, Yareli hissed. “With your social status, all you’re worthy of is birthing the Lynch family’s grandchild. As for anything else to do with our family, you can forget about it, Tamara!” At that point, the elevator door had opened, and Yareli let out a scoff before storming out.Tamara, on the other hand, was devoid of emotion. It seemed like she was not the slightest bit offended by the former’s ridicule or threat. Still, one should know that Tamara had never cared about joining the Lynch family, so it was only natural that she reacted indifferently. Contrary to Yareli’s accusations, Tamara was more eager than anyone else to be free of this family that tied her up like chains.It took about ten minutes of waiting in the hospital’s lobby before Sebastian came downst

    Tamara snapped back to her senses and saw Sebastian’s eyes fixating on her. Danger seemed to lurk deep within his pitch-black gaze. Right away, she set her glass on the coffee table and picked up some pen and paper to write: “It’s late. Why aren’t you asleep yet? Can’t sleep?”After reading the message, Sebastian narrowed his eyes. “How does that concern you?” “I was only worried. Does he have to be so mean?” Tamara complained in her heart. A frown marred her face as she crumpled the paper, dumped it in the bin, and marched upstairs with her glass of water.Sebastian watched her withdrawing figure leave before whipping around and opening a window. Soon, a breeze gushed into the living space, cooling down Sebastian’s fiery lust.…Tamara tossed and turned in her bed. Flashbacks of Sebastian’s reddened eyes plagued her mind. She knew it was a result of long-term insomnia. At the same time, she felt his foul temper was also to blame. The thought of Sebastian’s nasty behavior irri

    "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.

    "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.

    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.

"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.

    "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.

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.
