All of a sudden, someone fired a shot. It hit Eric's arm!Eric grunted in pain, and the hand holding the gun trembled.Margot seized the opportunity and pushed Eric away before she ran toward the crowd."Protect me, and I will help you with the cursed bugs!" she shouted while running.The people immediately surrounded her!Eric's expression turned extremely ugly. He glared at Margot, but she quickly disappeared into the crowd. He couldn't shoot her even if he wanted to.Adrian's expression also turned unpleasant. "Who fired the shot?"He looked around angrily.Not far away, Benjamin lowered the sniper rifle. The mask reflected cooly under the sunlight.He glanced at Margot, who had already hidden herself in the crowd, and smirked.Margot was free now. Both Eric and Adrian were no longer threats!Margot walked to the back of the crowd. She needed to find Benjamin now.There were too many people here, and she couldn't squeeze through no matter how hard she tried.So annoying
Benjamin sensed that something was off with Margot's emotions and held her tightly in his arms. "Okay, we'll do it your way."Steven walked in and saw the two hugging. He felt awkward and quickly turned to leave. But Benjamin had already noticed him."Is everything ready?" Benjamin asked. He didn't release his hold on Margot.Steven paused and nodded. "Yes, everything is ready."Margot said, "Let's begin."She had a plan. She couldn't help everyone at once. What if chaos broke out because of it? These people had been on the island for a long time and had become lawless. Therefore, she decided to cure them in batches. She would help 30 people each day, and they would be sent off the island afterward. Once everyone left, those cursed bugs would be permanently eradicated.Steven nodded. "Okay."Margot walked outside, and Benjamin followed closely behind. His gaze was fixed on her as if he was trying to figure out her next move."By the way, have all the cursed bugs from the Zimm
Surprise flashed across Steven's face when he witnessed this scene. Just then, Felice walked over. "Stop staring. We shouldn't get involved in the young lady's affairs."Steven regained his composure and looked at her, "I'm just curious when the young lady became acquainted with him."Felice shrugged. "Instead of that, why not consider the possibility that they knew each other before they came to Nammu Bay?"Steven was taken aback. He observed Felice's calm face and suddenly realized that Felice was right.Felice withdrew her gaze and walked away. The tasks assigned by Margot have not been completed yet. They couldn't slack off now....Benjamin pulled Margot into the room she used to live in. After closing the door, he pressed her against it forcefully.He stared at her, his eyes holding a hint of thin anger in them. Margot was frightened by this. It had been a long time since she had seen the angry side of his alternate personality."Don't be so mean. Can't we talk this out?"
She had previously used her dreams as an excuse, and Benjamin believed it. However, she didn't know if the current Benjamin would believe it.Well … he probably would, right?Margot looked calm on the outside, but she was thinking about how to fool him if he didn't believe her.After a while, Benjamin still hummed indifferently.Margot blinked. "Uh ... What does that mean?"Did he believe her?Benjamin stared at her intently, and a faint smile played on his lips. "Why are you looking at me like that?""Nothing." Margot quickly averted her gaze. She couldn't continue staring at him. Otherwise, she would mess things up on her own before he even asked anything.Something flashed in Benjamin's eyes. He held her waist, absentmindedly caressing it. "Alright, you have one month. You must leave with me after that, no matter what state Nammu Bay is in.""Okay," Margot readily agreed. If everything went according to plan, she could destroy all the cursed bugs on Nammu Bay within a month
Andrew looked confused. "What do you mean?"Margot muttered, "You're digging your own grave.""You!" Andrew was infuriated and slammed the table in anger. The wrinkles on his face creased.Margot smiled. "You must feel angry, right? You want to tear me apart?"Andrew glared at her. "Who are you?"Margot had completely lost the previous casualness. Now, she exuded a demonic presence, like a cruel beast radiating endless malice.Margot's smile deepened. This was a familiar feeling. After all, this was what she had been through in her past life.She was helpless against his coercion and cursed bugs, only able to watch her beloved person die.That pain, that hatred, she wanted Andrew to experience them!Margot stood up and walked straight for the exit. "I will become the person you hate the most. But you can't help but feel helpless since you can't kill me."The door closed again, and Andrew's furious roar echoed behind her.But it was futile.The sunlight fell on Margot, dispe
The hospital ward was flooded with the strong scent of disinfectant. The man on the hospital bed looked fragile yet handsome. His face was pale as he remained unconscious. Margot sat by his bedside, staring at him intently. Fear swelled within her. Why did he faint? There seemed to be nothing wrong with his body, so why did he pass out? Could he have been implanted with a cursed bug? However, the king of cursed bugs in her showed no signs of activity, indicating no cursed bugs in his body. What could be the reason? Margot was anxious, scared out of her mind. Yet all she could do was wait.Tamara and Sebastian stood silently by the side, not wanting to disturb the quietness of the hospital ward. A knife could easily slice through the thick silence.Suddenly, the unconscious man twitched before he slowly opened his eyes."Benjamin?" Margot's eyes widened, and she quickly grabbed his hand. Her voice was trembling. Tamara and Sebastian also stepped closer, both watching Benjamin
He had forgotten. Oh, right, his amnesia was caused by her. Margot had planned to pursue Benjamin again once she had sorted out the matters on Nammu Bay. However, it was still painful to see it happening in person. Margot closed her eyes. "I understand."Tamara looked at her with concern. "Are you okay, Margot?""Why wouldn't I be?" Margot smiled at her. "I don't have any worries left once I've settled the issue with Nammu Bay. It's just pursuing a man. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeves."Tamara fell silent. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. All in all, everything was progressing in a positive direction. The potential threats had all been dealt with. Margot recollected herself and returned to the hospital ward, where she saw a confused Benjamin sitting on the hospital bed.Tamara was puzzled. "What's wrong?"Sebastian sighed. "He can't accept the fact that he had been unconscious for a month after being hit by a car."Tamara, Benjamin, and Margot gave him a blank lo
Alex's face lit up with pleasant surprise. "Tammy? Why are you back?"Her gaze then fell on Margot, and she looked even more astonished. "Margot! Have you sorted out your matters?"Margot nodded. "I did, Aunt Alex."Alex walked over and shook her hand. "Did everything go smoothly?""It did," Margot uttered."That's good." Alex smiled.Tamara hooked her arm around Alex's. "You and Dad seem so cozy. I almost didn't have it in me to disturb you."Jacob's gentle face turned cold the moment he saw them. He merely glanced at her indifferently when he heard her.Alex chuckled. "You and your honeyed words."Tamara smiled. "Let's go in. I also haven't heard about what happened on Nammu Bay since Margot returned. We can catch up now."Margot nodded. "Sure."The group entered the villa, and the maids promptly served them tea and snacks.Jacob said to Alex, "Go ahead without me. I'll be in the study."Alex nodded. "Sure."Jacob turned and left, leaving only the ladies in the living r
