However, Tamara was sharp and could discern what was happening. Her expression froze. Tamara explained, "The waitress came to deliver their drinks, and Mr. Graymore seemed to have gotten drunk. "He mistook the waitress for a hostess. Then, the waitress accidentally hurt him. So, I came over to handle the situation."Sebastian's cold gaze fell on Lucas. "You made her drink to compensate?"By then, Lucas had sobered up and stammered, "I ... I apologize, Mr. Lynch. I didn't know she was your woman. I ..."Sebastian gave Jerome a cold glance, who immediately kicked Lucas, causing the man to fall to the ground.Jerome huffed. "That lady is the daughter of the Simmons family! Open your eyes and see clearly for yourself!"Lucas fell into a pit of despair and immediately apologized, "I was blind, Ms. Simmons. I'm sorry. I know now that I was wrong ..."Tamara looked at Sebastian. "Are you free today, Mr. Lynch?"The others might not have understood her words, but Sebastian did. A da
"You!" Tamara never expected Sebastian to be so insistent. She flushed a deep red and even felt her ears heating up.Sebastian stared at her in amusement. "What's wrong? Is Ms. Simmons planning to go back on her words?"Tamara pursed her lips. She urged herself to dismiss the matter. It was just a kiss! They had already gone to the next level. A kiss was nothing compared to that. Besides, she was the one who promised to take responsibility for him. Moreover, she was never one to break her promise.She would cut all ties with him once she found the cure for his tastebuds.Tamara took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally before approaching Sebastian.The man cocked an eyebrow and gave her a weird smile.Tamara felt the urge to back out under his intense gaze. But she quickly ground herself and clutched to his shirt, standing on her tiptoes to kiss him.His lips were soft, and his unique scent washed over her.Tamara closed her eyes, feeling her lashes fluttering from ner
Benjamin asked, "Have you had enough rest? Would you like to go for a walk?""Yes." Margot immediately perked up. She hooked her arms around his neck and kissed him again.Benjamin smiled and deepened the kiss.The two of them left the manor. It was already 2:00 pm. Margot wore a sun hat and a stylish dress, radiating a cheery and gentle presence. Her red lips were the cherry on top."Shall we go horseback riding?" Benjamin stared at her with warm and tender eyes."Sure." Margot nodded. "I've never ridden a horse before. You'll have to teach me.""Of course." Benjamin agreed. They got into the car and headed straight to the horse arena.The place was large. On the way there, Margot saw a water park, a zoo, a sauna, and an array of recreational facilities.Margot felt that she and Benjamin had come to the right place.The car stopped at the entrance of the arena. Benjamin held Margot's hand as they walked in. The person in charge of the place was already waiting at the entrance
"I knew it. Someone from a humble background surely won't make it big. They can't even ride a horse. How could they have the courage to enter the arena?" Just then, Lance's mocking voice rang out. It was full of disdain for Margot.Benjamin's face fell. He was about to retort when Margot interjected, "Even someone like you who lacks common sense can be here. And I just don't know how to ride a horse. Why can't I be here?"Lance snorted., "It seems my brother really dotes on you. How dare you speak to me with that tone?"Margot gave him a cold look. "Who do you think you are? Why should I be polite to you?"Lance's expression darkened. No one had ever used that tone on him. To make matters worse, she was a woman.Benjamin snickered. "Let's go, Margot."Margot nodded. "Alright, I do want to leave. I don't want my brain to degenerate by being with an idiot!"Lance's face was extremely grim, and he glared at their retreating figures coldly.Barbara walked over and whispered, "Don't
Margot cocked an eyebrow. "Your apology won't suffice. He should be the one apologizing instead."Her attitude took Barbara aback, and her expression grew even more embarrassed.Margot glanced at her. "This has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it."With that, she continued changing her clothes, paying no further attention to Barbara.As she struggled with the zipper of her dress, Barbara noticed and offered, "Let me help you with that."Margot agreed, "Sure, thank you."Barbara smiled. "You're welcome."She carefully zipped up the dress and adjusted the back of the skirt.Margot put on her hat and grabbed her bag before leaving the dressing room.Barbara seemed to be in a daze. Shortly after, she quickly gathered her things.A minute later, a panicked voice rang out. "Where's my ring? My ring is missing!"Barbara rushed out in a panic and called for a staff member. "Excuse me!"Immediately, a staff member approached. "What happened, Ms. Winters?"Barbara panicked. "
Benjamin paused as he looked at her cunning demeanor. He seemed to understand her intentions and smiled. "Alright, let's play along."The two of them returned to the dressing room. A small crowd had gathered there, curious to watch the drama.Lance had a dark look on his face, and Barbara stood by his side, not daring to utter a word.Seeing their return, Lance snorted at Benjamin. "Your girlfriend stole my fiancée's belongings. How do you explain this?"Benjamin narrowed his eyes closely. "Accusing someone without evidence? Didn't anyone teach you any manners?"Lance's expression grew gloomy. "Only she and Barbara were in the dressing room. The ring went missing after she left. Are you saying that this has nothing to do with her?"He gave Margot a mocking sneer. "Ms. Zimmerman, I know you came from an orphanage, and it was my brother who helped you with the club. "He treated you well and bought you anything you wanted. So, why would you steal my fiancée's ring? Don't you know
Everyone was taken aback by Margot's reaction. Margot took out her bag. "Since you want to go through it, go ahead."Lance suddenly felt a sense of uncertainty due to her calm demeanor. He knew something was going on. However, he only shared the plan with Barbara. No one else could have known about it. Margot couldn't have foreseen it.Lance composed himself and glanced at the bodyguards, who immediately moved forward to take Margot's bag.However, Margot swiftly pulled back her hand and looked at Lance with a weird smile. "Lance, what will you do if I'm proven innocent?"Lance scoffed. How was that possible? He was certain the ring was in her bag. She was in deep trouble!"I will apologize to you, Ms. Zimmerman," Lance coldly replied.Margot's smile gradually faded. "But a mere apology won't suffice. I insist that you publicly admit your mistake, acknowledge that you baselessly accused me, and declare yourself a blind fool. "My reputation has been tarnished, and being un
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Margot. She bent down and picked up her phone. "Why is my phone here? I couldn't find it earlier. How did it accidentally start recording?"While speaking, she switched on her phone. "I hope I didn't record anything I shouldn't have."However, the moment she unlocked her phone, the recorded video began to play. It was her conversation with Barbara, ending with Barbara offering to help with the zipper. The video showed a hand placing the ring into the bag. The angle of the video clearly showed Barbara's face.Margot covered her mouth in shock. Then she looked at the manager. "Can you display this video on the big screen?"The manager hesitated and glanced at Benjamin and Lance. Lance's face had already become very gloomy.Benjamin huffed. "Play it."The manager wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took Margot's phone to project the video on the big screen.Soon, everyone in the room saw the footage. Barbara's face turned pa
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
