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
Natasha's expression froze, and she immediately shook her head. "No."Tamara seemed to have seen right through her. She smirked and didn't say anything further.Natasha stood up abruptly. "Margot, you don't need to arrange transport for me. My driver is waiting outside."Margot turned to her. "Really?"Natasha nodded. "Yes, I'll be on my way. Let's meet another day."With that, she hurried out.Margot couldn't help but frown at her departing figure. "What's going on? Why does it look like she's running away?"Tamara patted her arm and warned, "Margot, you should keep your distance from her."Margot tilted her head. "Did you figure something out?"Tamara nodded. Her face was flushed, and her eyes seemed a bit dazed. But her words brought Margot back to her senses immediately. "Natasha likes you."Margot widened her eyes in disbelief. "Are you serious? She likes me?"How was that even possible? She had lived two lifetimes and had never encountered such a thing!Tamara closed
The barbecue restaurant came alive at night, and it was packed like sardines inside. Margot and Benjamin chose the seat in the corner. The air here was thick with the aroma from the barbecue, making one's mouth water. The waiter brought the menu. "Please write down your order." With that, the waiter rushed off to attend to other tables.Margot took the menu and looked through it carefully. When she looked up, she saw Benjamin gazing intently at her, his charming eyes filled with affection. She felt butterflies in her stomach. It felt like a dream, a beautiful fairytale, making people yearn for them. Margot's gaze softened at him. "What's up?"Benjamin smiled. "I really like our current life." He was extremely content to spend his days by her side, making her smile.Margot, however, huffed. "It's fine if you enjoy it, but don't get too addicted to it. Barbecue isn't something you can eat every day. It's not good for your health."Benjamin fell silent.He was trying to fli
Margot was caught off guard. Nevertheless, she clung to his arm and whined, "It's still three days away. I really want to have some now."Benjamin remained firm. "No."Margot blinked, trying to look pitiful, but it didn't work. She deflated like a balloon and pouted.Benjamin glanced at her, and his heart softened. But he forcibly averted his gaze. For her well-being, he had to make her quit ice cream.They returned to Windsong Mansion 15 minutes later. Margot went to her room to take a shower. When she came out, she saw Benjamin standing on the balcony, talking on the phone and giving instructions.Margot walked over quietly and embraced him from behind.Benjamin held her hand and spoke into the phone, "That's all for now."After hanging up, he pulled her in front of him and leaned down to kiss her. "What's wrong?" Margot asked, "What was the call about?"Benjamin smirked. "I've just checked the contents of the USB drive. Lance has been in contact with a foreign business par
