"Take her down. She is not allowed to leave the room without my permission," Andrew instructed his men, ignoring Margot completely.The two men immediately turned their attention to Margot. "This way, please, Ms. Zimmerman."Margot looked at Andrew in surprise, not expecting his reaction. Instead of agreeing to a paternity test or expressing his anger, he decided to lock her up instead. What was the reason behind this?Fortunately, her life was spared. She left the study and returned to her room. The guards at the door were vigilant, making it impossible for her to leave without Andrew's permission.Margot sat down on the couch and began pondering about life. Things didn't unfold as she had envisioned, and she found herself in a peculiar situation.Margot let out a sigh. Three days later, a knock finally came on her door. The voice of one of Andrew's men reached her ears, "Please prepare yourself, Ms. Zimmerman. The master wants to take you off the island."Margot was stunned,
Andrew remained indifferent and didn't even glance at her. He simply ignored her. Margot sighed. "Why are you acting like this, Mr. Zimmerman? The test results will come out sooner or later. You'll eventually know that I am your daughter. "I won't accept you if you only decide to treat me well after the confirmation. You might not know, but I'm someone who holds grudges. I remember those who treat me poorly."Andrew's eyes twitched. Seeing his stubbornness, Margot continued, "I don't know what happened between you and my mom, but her giving birth to me means she loved you. She even let me carry your last name. Would my mom forgive you if she knew you treated me like this?"Andrew remained silent.The bodyguards were still, not daring to glance in this direction. But they were secretly listening in to the conversation. After all, this young girl who suddenly appeared might be the daughter of the Zimmerman family. Her status on Nammu Bay would then be something else. Listeni
Eric came to Andrew's side and asked respectfully, "Father, how do you intend to deal with Margot?"Andrew's face was icy, and his eyes were devoid of warmth. "What do you suggest?"Eric paused. The scars on his face gave him a fierce appearance, radiating a threatening presence. "You brought her to Nammu Bay for the king of cursed bugs, right? There's no need to be swayed by her sweet words. We can get the king of cursed bugs and throw her into the sea," Eric calmly suggested, as that was how Andrew had dealt with things in the past.Andrew looked at Eric coldly and suddenly patted his shoulder. "That is a good idea."Eric straightened up from being praised. "However, I don't want to do it that way." Andrew changed the topic and retracted his hand. "You must have heard, right? She is my daughter."Eric was surprised before he slowly nodded. "Yes, I know. But, even though that's the case, we can't ignore the fact that she came to Nammu Bay with a purpose. So far, we still don'
The maid nodded with a pale face.Margot glanced at the measuring tool in her hand. "Are you taking my measurements to sew me some clothes?"The maid nodded again.Margot asked again, "A dress?"The maid nodded once more.Margot squinted and couldn't help but shiver when she recalled Andrew's previous words. What was going on? She had been confirmed as his daughter, so why would he want her to marry Eric? Did this guy have some strange fetish?Margot cringed. "Has the preparations outside started?"The maid looked at her strangely and nodded slowly.A solemn expression appeared on Margot's face. If the preparations had already begun, it meant the wedding would take place soon.No, she couldn't marry Eric!Margot stood up. "Alright, take my measurements and make me a beautiful dress. I like things that look pretty."The maid stood up with her. "Yes."She took Margot's measurements while Margot contemplated what to do next.That bastard. It was one thing not to want a daug
"What rules are you talking about? I've been locked up here since I arrived. Is that your so-called rules?" Margot glared at him.Eric returned with a cold glance. "That's correct."Margot felt speechless. She raised her chin. "I want to go out and take a stroll. I need to familiarize myself with the surroundings to follow your rules better, right?"Eric huffed, "You can take as many strolls as you want once we're married.""Are you out of your mind?" Margot stared at him, dumbfounded. She seemed to have come to terms with it after a while. "Fine. We're getting married, right? Where will the wedding be held? I don't even know the flow of the ceremony. The least you could do is to run it through with me, right?"Eric observed Margot's frustration, and his expression softened ever so slightly. He nodded. "Sure, I'll take you there."Margot rolled her eyes at him. "This is insane. Siblings getting married. Your whole family is fucked up."Eric furrowed his brows. "You are also a
Margot was in no hurry. She stood in place, casually playing with the bracelet on her wrist with an indifferent look on her face.Eric coldly remarked, "You can't enter now. But you can after we get married."Why was waiting until after the marriage necessary? Did Andrew really think he could restrain her through marriage? What a joke!Margot retorted, "What if the king of cursed bugs dies?""What did you say?" Eric's expression shifted, and his eyes were fixed on Margot.Margot shrugged. "The king of cursed bugs also needs to eat. It needs to feed on the cursed bugs, or it will die of starvation."Eric's expression turned ugly. He stared at Margot for a long time before hissing coldly, "Wait here!"He ordered the two bodyguards to keep watch over Margot before he marched away. Margot knew he had gone to seek Andrew's approval.Margot snickered. Her gaze fell on the closed gate. People on Nammu Bay were arrogant because they controlled cursed bugs. These bugs could manipulate p
Margot inhaled sharply. A small wound abruptly manifested at the tip of her index finger, and droplets of blood began to form. Accompanying the blood beads was a delicate, transparent thread.Margot brought her finger close to the edge of the jar, and the thread spread into it. Soon, the cursed bugs inside started to struggle around.Margot felt goosebumps forming all over her.She had imagined how the king of cursed bugs would look like when it was feeding, but she hadn't expected it to be like this. Moreover, that disgusting thing was inside her body.Margot pursed her lips and diverted her gaze.After about ten minutes, the commotion inside the jar ceased, and she also sensed movement at her fingertip. Although it was just a slight movement, she still felt it.Was it ... full?Margot's gaze fell on her fingertip. She saw the tiny object slowly wriggling back and returning to her wrist, tightly hugging her blood vessel and staying still.Margot fell silent. She was afraid tha
The king of cursed bugs didn't have such remarkable abilities. All it could do was make Margot immune to poisons. However, who would know if she never mentioned this?Alex had taken the king of cursed bugs away long before cursed bugs were discovered on Nammu Bay. There was no chance for anyone to know the king of cursed bugs's abilities.She just had to make shit up.Margot appeared very serious, successfully deceiving Eric.He frowned at her intently for a while. "Fine, I'll take you to see my father."Margot secretly smirked to herself. "Lead the way."Eric walked ahead, quickly turning into a familiar path. At the end of this road was the cliffside villa.Memories of Margot's past life suddenly came to her mind. All those events occurred at the cliffside villa. The memories made Margot's face darkened.As they reached the villa's entrance, the bodyguards stepped forward to check if they were carrying weapons.Margot sneered. "Even his own son needs to be checked before he
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
