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
Margot smirked. "My cursed bug is quite obedient. It comes out when I tell it to."Adrian didn't believe her.Margot raised her chin. "Didn't you prepare a few? Bring them all over. It's a good opportunity for my little darling to have a good meal."Margot was like a demon when she said that. The bright smile on her face only helped to send chills down people's spines.Eric gave her a look.Adrian immediately waved his hand, and two of his subordinates walked over and placed their jars on the table.Margot didn't back down. She opened the jar and rested her finger on the edge. Under everyone's gazes, the cursed bugs inside the jars suddenly struggled violently. In just two minutes, the bugs turned into lifeless husks.Everyone watched Margot in shock as if she were a monster.But Margot didn't care at all. "Do you want to continue?"Eric immediately grabbed her hand and hissed coldly, "Why didn't you say this earlier?""What are you talking about?" Margot looked at him in con
How wonderful! Nammu Bay was about to descend into chaos, just as Magot anticipated.Back in the villa, Eric's expression remained gloomy as he headed straight to Andrew's study. On the other hand, Margot returned to her room upstairs. She looked paler than usual.She stared at the squirming bug on her wrist and sighed. "What's going on? Didn't you eat your fill earlier? Do you still want to drink my blood?"However, the bug seemed oblivious to her words and continued sluggishly. She could see the ripples on her skin with each squirm.It was an eerie scene.Margot's brows suddenly furrowed as pain shot up from beneath her skin. It did want to drink her blood.Her expression darkened. It seemed she needed to bring forward her plan, or she might die here.Just then, someone knocked on the door. Margot walked over and opened it. It was Daisy Miles, the maid responsible for her. Daisy spoke with a bowed head, "Miss, Mr. Zimmerman requests your presence in the study.""Got it." Ma
