"Ms. Winters, the plane is about to take off." A bodyguard approached Barbara.Barbara clenched her phone and turned to the bodyguard. "I want to leave Coastgin. I don't care where it is as long as it's outside Coastgin."The bodyguard nodded. "Understood. I'll make the arrangements."Once on the plane, Barbara powered off her phone. As the plane took off, her heart grew increasingly tense. Even on the plane, she didn't feel entirely safe. She had to leave Coastgin.Barbara had been on edge all this time. Only when the bodyguard informed her that they had left Coastgin's border did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.Thank goodness! She was leaving!If she delayed any longer in Coastgin, Lance would surely come for her. She would then have to face Lance's anger.She didn't mind canceling the engagement. She just didn't want to risk her life!...Benjamin and Niall signed the contract, reaching a five-year cooperation agreement. Once the contract was signed, Niall and his wif
Sebastian glanced at Benjamin coldly with pursed lips, not saying a word.This piqued Benjamin's interest. Turning to Tamara, he flashed her a mischievous smile. "Thank you for picking us up, Ms. Simmons."Tamara smiled. "I came for Margot."Her implication was clear; she wasn't here for him.Benjamin fell silent. He shifted his gaze to Sebastian, who was giving him a mocking smile.Sebastian was even more straightforward. "We're just here to pick up Ms. Zimmerman."This meant that Benjamin was just a tagalong. Sebastian didn't need to say it out loud for Benjamin to understand him.Benjamin's face darkened, and he took Margot's hand. "Margot, we're tired from the flight. Let's go home and rest. I'll cook for you."Margot bit back a smile. "They're just joking. Aren't you and me a package deal?"Her words pleased Benjamin, and his expression softened. "You're right. We're a package deal."Margot nodded. "That's the spirit!"Both Tamara and Sebastian gave them a blank stare.
But Sebastian wasn't sure what happened exactly.However, seeing how close Benjamin and Margot were, he wasn't too worried anymore.If both he and Tamara could start over, why couldn't Margot and Benjamin?Sebastian kept his thoughts to himself while ignoring the puzzled look Benjamin was giving him. He hurriedly caught up with Tamara and Margot.In the private room, Pela came in with a pot of tea."Welcome, Mr. Lynch, Ms. Simmons," Pela greeted them.Sebastian nodded and introduced, "These are my friends, Benjamin Inkling and Margot Zimmerman."Pela turned to them. "Hello, just call me Pela."Benjamin nodded. "Your tea smells good. Did you make it yourself?"Pela smiled and nodded. "That's right, I made it myself. I hope you don't mind."She poured a cup for each of them.Margot took a sip of the tea, and her eyes instantly lit up. "It's delicious!"Tamara commented, "Pela's tea is really good."Pela giggled. "Please wait a moment. I'll go make the food now.""Okay."Th
Benjamin was not convinced! He wanted to see how good Sebastian's photography skills were!Benjamin leaned in closer. Sebastian must have adjusted some camera settings because the subjects in the photos immediately popped up. The background was merely there to enhance the subjects.Sebastian's photography emphasized the subjects. He adjusted the lighting, making Margot and Tamara look especially beautiful.Benjamin fell silent. Very well. He had been humbled.He silently averted his gaze and pretended to look elsewhere. After a while, Sebastian handed his phone back to Benjamin. "Take a closer look."He sounded proud of himself.Benjamin gritted his teeth. How frustrating! But when he saw the photos on the phone, he fell silent. Frustrated? An amateur like him had no right to be mad!"How is it?" Margot leaned over to take a look at Benjamin's phone. When she saw the photos, she turned to Sebastian in surprise. "Wow, Mr. Lynch! Why are your photography skills so good?"Sebast
"By the way, has James ever come looking for you?" Margot asked with a worried look.Tamara shook her head. "No."Margot breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. I'm worried that he'll target you again after you meet him. He's like a venomous snake. The farther away you are from him, the better!"Tamara nodded. Even though she didn't know how things ended, Margot was aware of the future, so she would be on high alert.The food soon arrived. After taking a bite of the food, Margot's eyes instantly lit up. "Delicious!"Benjamin looked at her. "If you like it, we can come here often in the future.""Sure!" Margot nodded. She genuinely loved the food here. She couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't heard of this restaurant in her past life. The restaurant couldn't possibly go unnoticed with how tasty their food was.Margot savored the meal while Benjamin was engrossed in a photography discussion with Sebastian. After the discussion, Benjamin realized there was much more to photogra
Margot sighed. "We're not sure yet. If nothing unexpected happens, it should go smoothly." Margot had made a lot of changes since she came back in time. She wasn't sure if there would be a butterfly effect. If there were, she would no longer be able to predict the future.Margot suppressed her thoughts. "I'm so tired. We should go back and rest."Tamara nodded. "Sure, you two should rest. Let me know if you need anything.""Alright." Margot hugged her before getting into the car with Benjamin. Sitting in the car and looking at the two people at the entrance of Vintage Well, Margot couldn't help but click her tongue. "Fate works in mysterious ways."Benjamin glanced outside. "Didn't you have dreams about the future? Are they together in the future?"Margot nodded. "Yes, they are. And they have three children together."Benjamin's interest faded, and a look of disbelief flicked in his eyes. "What did you say?"Margot didn't notice his reaction. "They'll have triplets. But it's n
This was something Lance had never experienced since returning to the Inkling family!All of this was because of Benjamin!Damn it! Why didn't he get rid of Benjamin earlier?Compared to Lance's frustration, Benjamin remained calm. He continued to mock, "Lance, if you're only here to vent your anger, I can only say you're too incompetent. There are many more things waiting for you. And you won't even be able to vent your anger when that happens."With that, Benjamin hung up the phone. He couldn't be more aware of Lance's thoughts.In the past, he had chosen not to compete. But now, for Margot and their future, he had to take this seriously. Lance must not disappoint him.As he turned to return to Margot, his phone rang again. Benjamin frowned impatiently. But when he saw the incoming call, his sneer deepened. "Grandpa, you're not calling to lecture me, are you? If that's the case, please save your breath. I don't have time for that now." Benjamin answered the call and hissed wi
"Tammy, since we've decided to talk, let's not avoid the issues. Any problems that arise must be resolved promptly, don't you think?" Sebastian's deep voice was as pleasant as always. His tone was gentle with no hint of aggression.Tamara lowered her gaze. "I know."Although she understood this, she was still resistant and angry. However, after two days of reflection, she wasn't as angry as she had been at the beginning. The dreams were continuously updating, and it felt like she was watching a TV show.Sebastian's lips curled into a faint smile. "So, let's calmly exchange information later, okay?"Tamara looked at him in surprise. "Exchange information?""Yes." Sebastian smiled. "In my opinion, we're exchanging information that neither of us knows."Tamara stared at his smile and felt a moment of panic. She quickly withdrew her gaze, trying not to overthink it.The light turned green, and a car behind them honked. Sebastian restarted the car and continued driving ahead.Soon,
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
