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
Inside the hospital ward, Benjamin opened his eyes and stared at the white ceiling with a blank expression. Sebastian and Tamara entered and quickly approached the bed. Tamara asked, "How are you feeling right now, Mr. Inkling?"Benjamin's gaze fell on Sebastian and Tamara, and he offered them a faint smile. His voice was weak as he mumbled, "Dizzy."Sebastian sighed. "You have a slight concussion, so it's normal to feel dizzy. Take a two-day rest, and you'll be fine."Tamara asked again, "Do you feel anything else besides dizziness?"Benjamin groaned, "Pain."Tamara fell silent.She observed Benjamin's pale face closely. She couldn't tell which personality had taken over with just these two answers alone.Tamara glanced at Sebastian, but the latter calmly instructed, "Although you weren't hit by the truck, you were still hurt from dodging it. You even have a few fractures. Just rest for the time being."Benjamin hummed weakly and closed his eyes. "Thank you for your trouble.
"Oh my, it's quite cute." Margot sneered. She suddenly felt movement on her wrist and glanced down before she reached into the jar."What are you doing?" Adrian immediately stepped forward to stop her. "Who are you? Has the Zimmerman family decided to disregard the rules? Don't you know that people aren't allowed to touch the cursed bugs during competitions?"Adrian scowled as he turned to Eric. "What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to disregard the rule?"Eric hadn't expected Margot to reach into the jar suddenly, so he was as surprised as the next person. He rushed forward. "What are you doing?"Margot blinked. "I just wanted to take a look since it looks so pretty. Is that not allowed?""No, it's not," Eric hissed."Alright, fine." Margot didn't insist. She pulled her hand out and placed her fingers on the edge of the jar.Adrian looked at the small bug inside the jar. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Margot hadn't killed it.He glared at Eric. "What the
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
