At Rastone, inside the manor, Lance seemed confident in sealing the deal since the movie and would often take Barbara to visit the Stark couple.On the other hand, Margot and Benjamin didn't appear to be there for business talks. It was more like they were on vacation.Margot put on the ice skates inside the ice rink and tightly gripped the railings. Her face was painted with nervousness and fear, and she dared not let go.Benjamin smoothly glided over to her. Upon seeing her like this, he couldn't help but smile devilishly. "I didn't expect you to ever be afraid."Margot glared at him angrily. "There are plenty of things I'm afraid of!"Benjamin extended his hand to her. "Give me your hand. I'll teach you."Margot shook her head. "I don't dare to." She was afraid of pain and had never done ice skating. Falling down must hurt a lot!Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, believe me. I won't let you get hurt."He gave her a reassuring gaze. Margot couldn't help but swallow nervous
A hint of surprise and amusement flashed in Margot's eyes when she saw Barbara. "What happened, Ms. Winters?"However, Benjamin paid no attention to Barbara and went straight upstairs.His cold indifference made Barbara feel awkward, but when she thought of her plan, she immediately turned to Margot."Ms Zimmerman, you should be aware of what happened to me. I tried to resist, but ..." Barbara's words were cut short as tears welled up in her eyes. Her face grew pale, and a trace of fear began to show.Margot sighed. "Calm down. Sit down and tell me slowly."She immediately instructed a maid to bring tea."Thank you." Barbara gave her a slight smile. She took a sip of the tea and continued, "Lance is a bastard. He's inviting Mr. Stark for dinner tomorrow night and wants me to accompany him, to take advantage of the opportunity and ..."Barbara didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was clear.Margot gave her a surprised look. "Ms. Winters, even if you tell me all this, I ca
Margot smiled. It only added to her natural charms and allure. "Since she came to me, how can the show go on if I don't participate?"However, Benjamin argued, "You don't have to go. They will find a way to continue the show."Margot playfully blinked at him. "But it won't be any fun if I'm not involved, will it?"Benjamin sighed helplessly. Why hadn't he noticed that she was so mischievous before? Seeing the eager look on her face, he eventually compromised. "Fine, you can go. But you must stay in touch with me at all times.""I will." Margot nodded immediately. She sipped her tea, her eyes sparkling with excitement.The next day, at noon, Barbara anxiously awaited Margot's messages. Lance's patience was wearing thin."Are you sure she's willing to help you?" Lance gave Barbara a doubtful look.Barbara's eyes flickered. "I don't know for sure, but I have a feeling she'll help. Besides, she's just a young girl, and her saintly heart is bursting with the desire to help when she
As time passed, night gradually descended. The entire manor was lit, and the castle at the center had its lights turned on. It looked majestic underneath the night sky!Lance had invited Niall to his manor to discuss their business deal. After some interaction, Niall's attitude remained ambiguous. Lance was growing increasingly impatient, which was why he had sent Barbara to get close to Margot.The success of tonight's plan rested solely on Barbara.Lance firmly believed that Niall was likely dissatisfied with Barbara, which was why he hadn't revealed much about their collaboration. He found it hard to believe that Niall would remain unaffected when faced with a beauty like Margot!As the night grew, Lance managed to get Niall quite drunk. Barbara was with them, and Lance had also consumed some alcohol and had a flushed face. When he saw Niall's condition, he gestured to Barbara.Barbara paused and immediately leaned toward Niall. "Mr. Stark, you've had too much to drink. Let me
Margot flashed a sly smile. "I have a plan, but it may require Mr. Stark's cooperation."Niall cocked an eyebrow in confusion. "What plan?"Margot stepped closer and whispered to him. Jake, who had been listening, originally had a neutral expression. But now his brows furrowed in puzzlement, and he glanced strangely at her. Could this plan really come from a young girl?"Very well!" Niall immediately agreed, and he stared at Margot in approval. "What do you need me to do?"Margot said, "Please contact Lance.""Alright." Niall promptly dialed Lance's number. He recomposed himself while waiting for the all to connect."Hello, Mr. Stark?" Lance answered the call with a tone of surprise. What's going on? Wasn't Niall supposed to be drunk? How could he sober up so quickly? Were all foreigners this special?Though he was filled with curiosity, Lance remained respectful. "Mr. Stark, have you sobered up? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"However, Niall angrily barked, "Mr. Lance,
When Lance woke up, he immediately smelled a pungent odor. He furrowed his brows and covered his nose. But in the next second, the stench grew stronger.He began to vomit. What was this place?He got up, and his eyes finally adjusted to the surroundings. Upon seeing where he was, his expression turned grim.This was a pig pen!A large white pig was approaching him, sniffing the air around him as if detecting his scent.Lance's temples throbbed, and he immediately looked for an exit. He didn't want to stay in this awful place for a second longer.However, he failed to notice that someone had already put away a phone, pinching their nose in disgust as they left the vicinity.…Back at the villa, Margot spotted Benjamin coming down from upstairs. Seeing her triumphant smile, he asked, "What have you done?"Margot rushed into his arms and laughed loudly.Benjamin stroked her back gently and waited until she was done. "What exactly did you do?"Margot finally calmed down and show
Margot furrowed her brows. She had been reborn for over a year and had been paying close attention to Benjamin's health. She and Benjamin were practically inseparable, yet she had never noticed any issues with his body. It was strange. Very strange.According to her previous life, Benjamin's alter ego should have appeared much earlier, but it only manifested after the incident involving Kayla. Was it possible that his alter ego had always existed but hadn't been triggered yet?Margot couldn't understand this, so she decided to let it go for the time being. Tiredness began to overwhelm her, and she closed her eyes and fell asleep before Benjamin even came out.…The next day morning, a strange atmosphere befell the entire manor. Everyone had received a text message containing one single photo. Those who saw the photo were shocked.How was this possible? Someone had actually been sleeping with a pig in the pig pen? It was utterly unbelievable!The Inkling family owned the manor
Everything was going as planned. Margot's phone was switched off not to avoid Barbara but because she was having dinner with Benjamin, entertaining Niall and Olivia.The older couple had not received the message. After all, they were business partners. Deliberately tarnishing a competitor's image would be seen as unethical.Margot wasn't dumb.The meal was very enjoyable. Olivia chatted with Margot while Benjamin and Niall engaged in a pleasant conversation. After everyone left, Margot asked, "Has Lance left?"Benjamin responded, "He left overnight."Margot smiled mischievously, and a sly glint flashed through her eyes. "Did he think by leaving Rastone, he wouldn't die by embarrassment?"Benjamin gave her a confused look. "You can die by embarassement?"Margot smiled. "People can die in various ways. But the most agonizing one is death from embarrassment."Benjamin understood, and a hint of a smile appeared on his charming face. He took out his phone and sent a message to Sebas
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
