Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the room. Everyone in the living room turned their heads to the angry Shane."I'm not fucking dead yet, am I? Do you all not have any regard for me?" Shane stared at Trevor and Victoria with a dark look."Dad, you saw how disrespectful Benjamin was with me." Trevor frowned.Victoria also chimed in, "Dad, Benjamin has only recently joined the company. He should be working diligently instead of snatching his brother's project and embarrassing him."Lance looked at Shane. "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I'll show more respect to Benjamin in the future.""Hmph!" Shane snorted. "Don't use this on me. All I want to know is if this was the result of fair competition?"He looked at Trevor.Trevor felt uncomfortable under his gaze. But due to his father's status, he stiffly nodded. "Yes."He added, "But even so, Benjamin shouldn't have used underhanded methods to snatch the project from his brother! After all, he's the older brother."Shane gave him a
Shane turned to the butler. "Is dinner ready?"The butler nodded. "Yes."Shane nodded and turned to Benjamin. "Let's go and have dinner."Benjamin offered a weird smile. "Grandpa, are you sure we will still have a peaceful dinner?"Shane furrowed his brows at Benjamin. "Benjamin, didn't you promise to come back for dinner? Are you going to back out now?"Benjamin smiled cunningly without responding.Margot chimed in, "I'm hungry, Grandpa Shane. Let's have dinner now." Food was the most important thing right now. Despite all that had happened earlier, there was no reason to starve herself. Not to mention, she wasn't the one who lost her cool just now. Her appetite was as good as ever!Shane's expression softened as he said to Margot, "Alright, let's go eat."Margot looked at Benjamin and took his arm. "Let's go have dinner first. We can discuss everything else after the meal.""Alright." Nodding, Benjamin followed Margot to the dining room.Only Trevor, Victoria, and Lance r
Margot smiled at Benjamin and started eating. The atmosphere at the dining table was a mixture of warmth and awkwardness. Margot alternated between giving food to Benjamin and Shane, creating a pleasant and cheerful atmosphere.Shane's attitude toward Margot had improved. After the meal, his stance became even clearer.After dinner, they gathered in the living room. Benjamin was playing with his phone. Shane frowned. "Benjamin."Benjamin looked up at him indifferently.Shane scolded, "Did you come home just to play with your phone?"Benjamin raised an eyebrow. "What else would I do? Argue with you?"Shane was at a loss for words. It was true. They often ended up arguing after just a few words.Shane genuinely cared for Benjamin and hoped to see him succeed, which was why he had made every effort to involve him in Inkling Corporation. Now, with Benjamin's achievements, Shane's expectations for him had grown.Though Benjamin and Lance were brothers, Lance was a bastard son. He
Malicious thoughts began to take root in Lance's heart. He didn't attempt to suppress them. Instead, he allowed them to grow unchecked.…Sitting in the car, Margot turned to Benjamin. "Grandpa Shane still cares a lot about you."Benjamin's hands loosely gripped the steering wheel, and his fingers looked quite attractive. He wore a laid-back expression as he hummed. "So what?"Margot gazed at him. "I was just speaking out loud. You know I grew up in an orphanage without parents, so I don't know what it feels like to be cared for by family."Benjamin glanced at her and held her hand. "From now on, I'm your closest family."Margot smiled. "I'm not telling you this to make you feel sorry for me. I'm just stating a fact and reminding you to cherish the family you have now. Don't regret it after you lose them."Benjamin playfully poked her nose and chuckled. "Your lectures are truly something."Margot huffed. "Of course. Don't forget who I am!"Benjamin laughed heartily.Upon thei
Tamara fell silent. "Because once I accepted them, I realized that I've learned things even the me in the dreams didn't know."Margot quirked an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh? What do you mean?"Tamara glanced at the floor indicator. Soon, the elevator doors opened, and she walked out first.Margot followed her, her curiosity growing with every passing moment.Once they reached the wine cellar, Tamara closed the door behind them. She poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of Margot. "Have a seat and listen."Margot took a seat, her face filled with eagerness. "Stop with the riddles and tell me."Tamara's eyelashes trembled. "We were apart for four years. I found out about his situation and the struggles he faced within the Custry family."Margot listened attentively. She was quite curious. In her previous life, Sebastian took control of Custry Corporation in just four years. Even Hugo and Sandy were afraid of him. His methods were ruthless and relentless. But he barely mention
Tamara hugged Margot for a while before finally letting her go. "Regrets! You just mentioned making up for regrets. I believe that the reason Sebastian and I are dreaming about our past lives is to make up for the regrets we had back then."In the dream world, she and Sebastian had never dated and were forced into a marriage. They had experienced many twists and turns along the way, and their relationship was far from perfect.Margot looked at her. "And I thought it was something serious. So it was this all along."Tamara nodded. "I didn't understand it before, but now I do. Thank you, Margot."Margot laughed. "What are you thanking me for? You figured it out on your own. It has nothing to do with me."Tamara, however, shook her head. "No, I still want to thank you.""Fine." Margot relented. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it. What was important was that Tamara had found peace of mind.Margot had already thought about it before. Tamara's resistance was likely due to th
Margot pushed open the door of the VIP room and was greeted by the intimate scene. Her eyes widened, and she stood frozen in the doorway.As Benjamin pulled Kayla into his embrace, he sensed that something was wrong. He abruptly released her and opened his eyes. It was then he saw Margot entering the room. His breathing hitched, and he immediately stood up to walk toward her. "Margot, let me explain ..." Margot smiled. She had been briefly startled but quickly regained her composure. She walked inside the room. "There's no need to explain. I trust you."She had only been distracted, and some images from their past lives briefly flashed in her mind. She saw scenes of Benjamin and Kayla being together. Her heart ached from the memory, but it was only for a brief moment.Benjamin didn't love Kayla, and she was certain of that.Benjamin anxiously took her hand, observing her expression closely. He seemed to be confirming whether she genuinely believed him.After a while and seeing
Kayla's hands clutched the tray tightly, and her knuckles even turned white from the force. Resentment flashed in her eyes as she left the VIP room.Margot took in Kayla's expression. A cold look flickered in her eyes before it quickly disappeared. "Alright, we'll always be together. Isn't trusting each other the most basic thing to do?" She was struggling to catch her breath as Benjamin continued to hold her.Smiling, Benjamin released her. "What did you and Tamara talk about?"Margot, however, playfully smiled. "Boys shouldn't inquire about girl talk. It's a secret!"Benjamin led her to the couch, where he wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his head on her shoulder. He resembled a big puppy nestled in Margot's embrace."Fine. Hold me. I'm going to take a nap," he said with a muffled voice.Margot nodded. "Sure. Go to sleep."The VIP room had dim lighting. With the soft woman in his arms, Benjamin soon fell asleep. This position seemed to make him comfortable, and h
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
