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
Elijah poured everything he had into Tamara so that Tamara would call him her father or even take up his last name. However, Tamara completely ignored him.She had already witnessed her past life through dreams and understood how she had been persecuted by Elijah. It led to a broken family and separation from her children for many years. She had no right to forgive Elijah on behalf of her past self.Jacob looked at her in surprise. "Don't you want to acknowledge your biological father?"Tamara gazed at him seriously. "I only have one father, and that's you."Jacob's eyes widened slightly at this. His face remained indifferent, but he didn't say anything more. He turned and walked out of the study.Tamara followed him downstairs. The atmosphere had eased a bit.Alex and Margot were already seated in the dining room. Seeing them approach, Alex piped up, "What took you so long?"Jacob's gaze immediately softened when he saw her. "I was talking to Tammy about something."Tamara n
"Sebastian, what nonsense are you yapping about?" Tamara hastily interrupted him. She was relieved that no one was around her at the moment, or they would have seen her turning bright red.However, Sebastian's tone remained indifferent. "Am I wrong?"Tamara's jaws fell. What was he talking about?She glanced at the laboratory. "Alright, let's end the call for now. Keep a close eye on Benjamin. Tell me if anything feels wrong."With that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Sebastian to respond.Tamara let out a sigh and relaxed into her seat.It was 8:00 pm when the door to the laboratory opened.Alex looked exhausted. Jacob picked her up and carried her back to the villa as soon as she came out.After witnessing this, Tamara dismissed the idea of asking her mother how it went. She looked directly at Margot. "How do you feel, Margot?"Margot's face was very pale. Extracting the king of the cursed bugs seemed to have put her through immense torture. She shook her head. "I
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
