Margot took out her phone and called Tamara. The call was answered almost immediately. It was clear that Tamara had been waiting for her."I'm done on my end, Tammy. I went through everything that needed to be said." Margot smiled.Tamara breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. I'm glad everything went smoothly."Margot huffed. "Why wouldn't it when I'm the one doing the talking?""Yes, yes, you're the best." Tamara couldn't help but laugh.Margot giggled. "Will you come to the club later?"Tamara hummed. "I can't. Sebastian asked me out.""You're forgetting all about me once you're in a relationship." Margot feigned sadness, but she quickly changed her tone. "But I won't delay you and Sebastian from falling in love. You should enjoy your time together."Tamara clicked her tongue. "You and that silver tongue of yours. Alright, call me if there's anything else.""Sure." After chatting, the two hung up the phone. Margot played with her phone, her gaze falling on Benjamin's name.She
Margot suddenly tensed. Dylan stood by her side and glanced at the two people. "Which floor?""The sixth," one of them said.Margot couldn't tell if it was her imagination, but after that person spoke, he glanced at her for a moment. His gaze was fleeting before he averted his eyes. Margot lowered her eyes, trying to appear calm.Alex hadn't finished refining the cursed bugs, so she couldn't act recklessly now. These people from Nammu Bay might have cursed bugs hidden on their bodies. People of their status would likely possess powerful ones.The elevator ride went on quickly. Soon, they arrived on the first floor. Margot exited the elevator without looking back and headed toward the entrance.She couldn't wait for Benjamin to get off work. She needed to see him now! The gaze that was fixed on her felt like it might bore through her. It sent shivers down her spine. It wasn't until the elevator door closed that the feeling disappeared.Margot went outside and took a deep before
After giving the driver the destination, Benjamin turned to Margot. He keenly sensed that something was off with her. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"Margot nodded. "A little."Benjamin immediately grew concerned. "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" He anxiously examined her, not missing any of her expressions.Margot suddenly giggled. "It's almost that time of the month, so I'm not feeling well."Benjamin fell silent. A suspicious blush tinged his ear as he cleared his throat. He instructed the driver, "Pull over at the supermarket ahead."The driver complied. "Yes."Margot was puzzled. "Why are we stopping?"Benjamin looked at her. "If you're uncomfortable sitting down, you can lie down on my lap."Margot blinked. Although she didn't quite understand, she still reclined.Since he offered, how could she refuse?His hand gently touched her face. "You can take a nap if you want."Margot huffed. "I'm not sleepy."Benjamin hummed.Even though it was evening, the sum
"Thank you, sweetheart!" Margot smiled at him and took a sip of the hot chocolate.Benjamin's breath hitched, and his charming eyes sparkled with a hint of joy. He liked it when she called him that!Back in the car, he asked, "Do you want me to accompany you to the club now?"Margot shook her head. "No, let's go home first. I want to spend some time with you, just the two of us." She winked at him.Benjamin nodded. "Okay." He instructed the driver, "Back to Windsong Mansion."The driver complied. Soon, the car arrived at their destination and stopped at the underground parking lot. Margot and Benjamin got out of the car.Back in their house, Margot immediately hugged Benjamin and kissed his neck. However, Benjamin huffed. "Don't fool around. You're not feeling well. Go lie down on the bed.""Will you stay with me?" Margot clung to him and gazed up at him lovingly.Benjamin's breath grew heavier, and he carried her to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed and lay down besi
Benjamin felt helpless. He always had a soft spot for her."Just this once." He pecked her forehead.Margot nodded. "I knew you were the best!"Benjamin was smitten.As time passed, night fell, and the city came alive with the glow of lights as the bustling nightlife began.When the room was bathed in the neon light from outside, Margot's phone rang. She looked at the caller ID, and her expression shifted. She answered the call. Benjamin, noticing her reaction, also looked at her.It was the manager from the sixth floor. He said softly, "Ms. Zimmerman, the guest surnamed Zimmerman has arrived.""I see." Margot hummed and promptly hung up.She turned around and went to Benjamin, giving him one last kiss. "I have to go. Stay home and wait for me."Benjamin, however, held her by the neck and deepened the kiss. After a passionate moment, their breaths grew erratic."I'll escort you there," he said hoarsely. He couldn't bear to let her go alone.Margot hesitated but nodded. "Alri
Margot stared at the familiar face, and her breath hitched. She still remembered how he had looked when he died in her past life. His death had led to Andrew's anger. Eventually, Benjamin was the one who had to bear all the consequences.A suppressed feeling of hatred surged from the depths of her heart. She had to use all her strength to push down her emotions.Margot smiled. "Hello, Mr. Zimmerman. I'm Margot Zimmerman."Eric's gaze was icy as he looked at her. He coldly hissed, "Sit."Margot didn't hesitate and sat down on the couch opposite him. "Mr. Zimmerman, did you come from the island?"She was straight to the point.Eric gave her a surprise glance. "You seem to know quite a bit about that place."Margot shook her head. "Certainly not as much as you do."He gave her a cold look. "Tell me, how do you know about Gwenda?"Margot offered a small smile. "I have my sources. But I'm curious why Andrew hung up on me."Eric's expression hardened, making the scar on his face lo
Andrew knew Gwenda well, but why would he abandon her just because of some scheme? Did he know how difficult Gwenda's life had become since he left?At that moment, Margot changed her mind. She didn't want to reunite with Andrew anymore. She decided to approach Nammu Bay differently."Mr. Zimmerman, if I wasn't close to her, how could I possibly know about her?" Margot said nonchalantly.Andrew remained silent for a moment. "What do you know?"Margot scoffed. "Do you doubt my words? Then, let me tell you one thing. When you escaped to Londsville, it was Gwenda who saved you. She brought you home to heal your injuries. "Later, when you found out she was a performer at some bar, you asked her to resign and leave with you, but she didn't agree …""That's enough!" Andrew interrupted her before she could finish. These events were all true!Who was this woman? And how did she know these details? After Gwenda betrayed him all those years ago, he killed everyone she knew. He had even
Margot didn't wait for his response. "I have the king of cursed bugs."Andrew grew even more shocked! The king of cursed bugs!It was an existence that could make all cursed bugs worship it. With the king of cursed bugs, one would be invulnerable to all poisons. With the king of cursed bugs in hand, the Lane family would be nothing. They could easily defeat them!After a while, Andrew's voice came through. "How did you get it, Ms. Zimmerman?"Margot huffed. "I need to keep that a secret. What if you find out and decide to silence me?"She was blunt. Even though they were only talking on the phone, Andrew's expression stiffened. Lucky for him, Margot couldn't see his reaction.Nevertheless, he was seriously considering Margot's proposal.As long as he had full control of Nammu Bay, he could do whatever he pleased.Margot asked, "So, Mr. Zimmerman, do you think I'm qualified?"Andrew stated, "You're welcome to join us. But, I have to warn you, Ms. Zimmerman. Nammu Bay is very di
