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
Margot met Andrew's gaze fearlessly.She had the upper hand now and could act as she pleased! She hadn't come here with the intention of getting pushed around. She wanted to turn the island on its head!After a while, Andrew finally spoke, "Go prepare a room for the lady.""Yes." The maid immediately went to carry out the order.Margot smirked, feeling satisfied. She continued, "I don't want to marry him. I'll stay here as long as you agree. And I'll show you my sincerity."Andrew narrowed his eyes. "Don't push your luck, Margot Zimmerman. My patience with you has its limits!"Margot blinked. "But the condition I proposed isn't unreasonable. I just don't want to marry him. I don't understand why you insist on making us marry."Eric suddenly asked, "Do you not want to marry me because of Mr. Inkling?"Margot's face immediately darkened at his words. She took a few steps toward him and grabbed his collar. Her usually gentle eyes now carried a rare fierceness. "I'm warning you, yo
What?Margot was confused. What did Andrew mean? Was he asking her to be the young lady of Nammu Bay's Zimmerman family? Didn't he want the king of cursed bugs? He had previously gone to great lengths to make her and Eric unconscious, thoroughly trapping her in Nammu Bay. What was going on now? It was really confusing!Margot blinked, and a small smile began to form on her face. "Of course, I want to be the young lady. After all, I grew up in the orphanage and never experienced what fatherly love is."Andrew's action paused. His face turned cold, and he looked at Margot with an indescribable expression.With her hands behind her back, Margot continued playfully, "Can I stroll around the Zimmerman family's territory as I please?""Sure," Andrew agreed without hesitation.Margot nodded. "Alright, I'll go play then."She turned and left as if she was on vacation in Nammu Bay.Andrew's eyes grew even colder at her departing figure....Margot did leave as promised. No one stopp
"Absolutely not," Eric immediately refused. "You can make any other requests apart from that."Margot frowned. "But that's the only thing I want.""Then, forget it." Eric turned and left, showing no signs of urgency. "The Zimmerman family doesn't need the king of cursed bugs to win."Margot fell silent."Wait," she piped up helplessly. "Then I'll change my condition."Eric stopped. He spun around with a cold gaze.Margot furrowed her brows in thought. "I haven't figured it out yet. I'll tell you when I do, okay?"Eric huffed. "Anything is acceptable as long as it doesn't involve going out.""Good." Margot nodded.Margot sighed at Eric's departing figure. It was true. Once she set foot on Nammu Bay, it was almost impossible for her to leave. However, the network security on Nammu Bay was not yet perfect. She could easily break through with Tamara's abilities. Margot just needed to stir up some trouble here.Margot's gaze returned to the sea, and the image of Benjamin's charm
"What are you talking about?" Benjamin frowned as he looked at the gloomy man across from him. He didn't understand a word the gloomy man was saying. The man on the other side continued to ignore him. He was still murmuring to himself, and the name "Margot" came up frequently.Benjamin was extremely puzzled. Who was this Margot? Why did the person in his dreams keep mentioning her name? It was as if he was constantly reminding himself not to forget that name.An inexplicable irritation grew in his heart. Benjamin stared at the man opposite him with an annoyed gaze and hissed impatiently, "Enough, stop talking!"He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling. He was still in a state of irritation and anger as he woke up. Realizing he was in an unfamiliar environment, he sat up abruptly.Seeing Benjamin awake, Austin furrowed his brows for a moment before quickly relaxing. He asked with concern, "What happened? Did you have a nightmare?""Yes." Benjamin swallowed hard as th
Benjamin walked along the roadside. The image of that man in his mind gradually faded, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. The restlessness in his chest persisted. There was an intersection ahead.Benjamin pursed his lips. Why didn't he drive here himself? He took Sebastian's car, and now he had to take a taxi back. He felt even more irritated.He continued walking down the sidewalk. Just then, a piercing horn sounded from his side.Benjamin furrowed his brows and saw a truck speeding toward him.It was going so fast. It was as if it wanted to send him flying!Benjamin's eyes widened, and he quickly lunged forward. However, he was still grazed by the truck, and he tumbled to the side of the road. His head hit the edge of the road, and he immediately passed out.When Sebastian received the news, his expression turned dark, and he went straight to the hospital. The lights in the emergency room were on, and Benjamin's assistant, Harris, was at the door."Mr. Lynch," Harris gre
