Back at 1999, Margot was waiting for Tamara in the lobby. It was still morning, and the club hadn't opened yet. The receptionists hadn't even come to work, so the place was quiet.Margot gave her a weird smile. "Last night … where did you two go?"Tamara glanced at her. "Please don't ask questions you already know the answers to."Margot gave her a curious look. "So, what's the status between you two now?"Tamara's expression turned cold. "There's nothing between us. He merely helped me out."Margot exclaimed, "Wow! Tammy, you have the potential to be a heartbreaker."Tamara rolled her eyes at her. "We're practically strangers. Do I need to force a relationship just because of this one incident? I think it's unfair to both of us."Margot shook her head. "No. That's just what you think. I can see that Sebastian had fallen head over heels for you."Tamara remained silent and did not respond to her. It was clear she didn't want to continue the topic.Margot huffed. "Never mind. I
Tamara stared at him in disbelief. While Alex didn't treat him as well, she had never mistreated him. She gave him everything he wanted! Tamara never expected him to harbor resentment for this.Margot huffed. "He's insane. Don't waste your breath on him. Let's think about how to handle him."Tamara stood up.Quentin, seeing this, immediately hissed, "Tamara, what are you going to do? You can't lay your hands on me! I'm your brother and Dad's only son! I'm the sole heir to the Simmons family. If you lay a finger on me, Dad will never let you off!"Tamara turned to Margot. "Where's Anthony?"Margot shrugged. "He's not here. Probably outside the club."Tamara nodded and dialed Anthony's phone."Miss," Anthony's voice quickly came through.Tamara ordered, "Come in."Anthony complied, "Yes."Quentin continued to shout, growing from anger to fear. He watched Tamara. His cries grew weaker. "Tamara, what are you planning to do?"Tamara remained silent.Anthony soon appeared at th
The living room fell silent at Tamara's words. Even the maids froze in their place, all looking at Tamara in shock. They never expected her to do something like this.An angry expression appeared on Jacob's face. He abruptly stood up and walked toward her with an especially grim expression. His gaze on Tamara was fierce. "What did you say? Say it again!"Tamara calmly repeated her words. She stared unwaveringly at Jacob as if she wasn't afraid of his anger.Jacob raised his hand to hit her but froze in mid-air. He stared at Tamara with a furious expression. "Why? He's your brother!"Tamara saw how he had retrained himself, and her heart swirled with emotions. She lowered her gaze. "But he never treated me as his sister. Do you know what he did to me?"Just then, Alex came downstairs and saw Tamara and Jacob confronting each other. It seemed like Jacob was about to strike Tamara. Her expression shifted. "What's happening?"Jacob's hand lowered, and he looked at Tamara with
Alex's expression remained calm, as if Quentin was just a stranger to her.Jacob suddenly stood up and walked over to her. He looked at her blank face. "We've been together for many years. Haven't I ever sparked a feeling in you?"Alex calmly looked at him. "What's with all the demands? Isn't it good enough to live peacefully like we used to?"Jacob was furious and wanted to strangle this woman. But at the same time, he couldn't bear to do it. He had loved her for decades. Even when he knew she cheated on him, he never blamed her. He even raised that man's child. He called her his own and shielded her from ridicule.But now, she claimed she had never cared about their child. It was such a cruel statement. It was like a knife ruthlessly stabbing his heart. The emotions he had ignored for many years suddenly flooded over him.He let out a bitter laugh. "Alex, you are truly a selfish woman."With that, he turned and left.As he brushed past her, a gust of wind struck her fa
"I don't have any free time for the upcoming week," Sebastian's voice came after a pause. He sounded cool and indifferent.Tamara responded, "I see. Call me again when you're free.""Sure." Their conversation ended in a surprisingly normal manner, and they quickly hung up with no intention of interacting further.Tamara suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and turned to head downstairs.…It was nighttime. Margot held a brief meeting at 1999 and waved everyone away. She lounged in her chair, gazing at her office that was identical to her past life, feeling a hint of excitement.The first step was completed.Now, it was time for the second step.She took out her phone and looked at the stored numbers. Her gaze gradually turned cold.Just a bit more time ...It was not the right moment yet. Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Benjamin."Hello?" Margot picked up, and her voice softened.Benjamin's amused voice came through the phone, "Ms. Zimmerman, how are
Margot sighed. "In my past life, something significant happened to the Inkling Corporation during this period. But back then, I was still at the bottom of the food chain, struggling to make ends meet. I didn't pay much attention to what was happening. That's why I'm worried."She paused before continuing, "I'm concerned that this might be related to Lance, so I've been reminding Benjamin to be cautious. However, I still feel uneasy because I don't know where Lance might strike."Tamara nodded understandingly. "Alright, I got it. I'll take care of this."With that, she walked around the desk and sat at the computer. Her finger danced across the keyboard, and a series of codes appeared on the screen. It was confusing, to say the least.Margot couldn't help but marvel, "You're incredible. I can't believe you know something as complicated as this."Tamara shrugged. "I only stumbled upon it by accident and found it interesting. So I studied about it a little. That's how I learned."Ma
"Wow!" Margot gave Tamara a look of amazement. "Your family's genes are something else."However, Tamara shook her head. "It varies from person to person. Quentin is also my mother's son. And look at how he turned out?"Margot immediately waved her hand. "Let's not talk about that asshole on this good day, okay?"Tamara smiled faintly. "Alright."After finishing their ice cream, the two of them went downstairs. Tamara continued to mix the drinks. After preparing three drinks, she and Margot walked around to inspect the club.With the experience from her previous life, Margot didn't panic this time, and she skillfully assigned tasks to different people at various places.Listening to the events of the past two days, Tamara had a smile in her eyes. "After things stabilize here, you can consider opening a branch in Clacton."Margot blinked at her. "Can I just say? I did open a branch in Clacton in my past life. However, both of us started the club together. But I left Clacton not l
Natasha wasn't angry and maintained her smile. "I don't really like Benjamin. Naturally, Margot and I are not rivals."Tamara quirked an eyebrow and glanced at Margot. When had they gotten this close to each other? Natasha was even calling Margot by her name.Margot was also taken aback, not expecting Natasha to be so casual with her. But names were meant to be used, and it would seem unreasonable to forbid Natasha from calling her by her name at this point.Tamara knew what Margot was thinking about and smiled. "What type of men do you prefer, Ms. Gunn?"Natasha replied seriously, "I haven't met one I like yet. I'll let you know when I do."Tamara fell silent. There was no need for that.Tamara's initial wary gradually faded away. From their simple conversation, it was evident that Natasha wasn't the type to approach Margot with ulterior motives.Before long, the waiter brought the drinks.Margot poured three glasses. She put one in front of Tamara and one in front of Natash
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
