"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
