Tamara turned to meet Jocelyn’s eye and signed, “You can’t imagine how many more surprises I have up my sleeve.”Jocelyn was dumbfounded. Margot eventually made her way out and noticed them chatting. She ran to them excitedly and said, “The pissed-off look on that old hag makes me so happy. I want to anger her to death!”Tamara nodded in agreement.She had always adhered to the principle of minding one’s own business. However, if anyone dared provoke her, she would return the favor tenfold.Yareli might not have planned today’s incident, but she kept adding fuel to the fire. Since the older woman insisted on going against her, Tamara wasn’t going to let Yareli off easy.“That old hag must have changed her opinion of you after this. She’s definitely going to suck up to you from now on,” Margot said.Tamara didn’t want to think or talk about Yareli anymore. She pointed to a nearby café and signed, “Let’s sit over there.”“Sure.”Upon entering the cafe, they requested a privat
“Just like how you sealed my parents’ fates, huh?” Jocelyn mocked.Tamara had a calm expression on her delicate, fair face. “You can try and find out.”Who would be foolish enough to take Tamara up on that offer?Jocelyn ended up agreeing to Tamara’s terms submissively. Everything that followed went smooth sailing.Tamara contacted the university to discuss Jocelyn’s case. After that, she bid farewell to Margot and returned to Skarrowlilt Grove.At this moment, Yareli and William were chatting with Old Mr. Lynch in the living room.Upon Tamara’s return, Yareli smiled at her and said, “Tamara, you’re finally home! Did you enjoy shopping?”Tamara returned Yareli’s gaze with an emotionless one.It turned out that Tamara had overestimated this woman.The appearance of Carlos and Sam had rendered Yareli into a suck-up. Tamara wondered if the woman would end up capitulating before her if she knew about her other respectable identities.Yareli called Tamara over, “Why are you just s
Sebastian had suddenly…kissed her!Tamara’s face blushed bright red as she hurriedly shied away from the man’s kiss.“Finally awake, are you?”Sebastian’s gaze remained fixed on her. In the darkness, she could not make out the expression on his face. However, Tamara could tell from his hot, heavy breathing that Sebastian seemed to be experiencing a turmoil of emotions.Tamara struggled to get up, but he pinned her back down.“I’m not done kissing you yet. Why are you so eager to escape?” His handsome face moved closer to hers by a couple of inches.Tamara was getting pissed off.What did he even mean by that? Did he even ask her for her consent? He just came onto her out of nowhere!Sebastian reached out to turn on the lights. When the light came on, he was met with the sight of a blushing woman beneath him. Her eyes seemed to glisten as she looked up at him. She looked so pure that it made Sebastian’s heart flutter.Tamara managed to sign, “Get up.”Sebastian was still stari
It wasn’t Yareli?Things were starting to get interesting.Tamara’s fingers glided over the screen as she typed out a reply.Tamara: “Do whatever it takes to get that hotel manager talking.”Anthony: “Understood, Miss Simmons.”…Tamara had begun to speculate following the vase incident. After all, it was too coincidental that the person who got blamed for it was Jocelyn, while Tamara was also present. Whoever it was had intended to extort money from her and taint her public image so that she could not show her face among Londsville’s upper social class.It was clear that someone had done a background check on her.After all, the only person who knew about her identity and background at the time was Yareli.As such, her first suspect was Yareli, but it turned out that the woman had nothing to do with it.If it hadn’t been her, who else could it be?Tamara contemplated deeply. She did not notice the handsome yet devious man had walked down the stairs and was staring at her in
Tamara was speechless for a moment before continuing to sign, “If you really don’t want to hear it, I’ll just not tell you, then.”Sebastian grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. “Where are you going?”Tamara pursed her lips, then talked to Sebastian about William and Yareli’s request for her to attend the charity auction with Sebastian.Sebastian’s expression darkened at that, and his thin lips pursed into a line.William and Yareli couldn’t have made their intentions any more apparent.Could it be that they were anxious over Sebastian’s long-standing hold over ST Corporation and felt threatened by him?He nearly scoffed out loud.Tamara had no idea what was running through his mind at that moment. However, she could feel that Sebastian was exerting more force on her fingers as he played with them. Even so, it didn’t hurt.“Do you want to go?” Sebastian shifted his gaze over to Tamara’s face.Tamara honestly didn’t want to. However, Sebastian’s parents had cordially
Tamara thought it over before signing, “This idea of yours is pretty good, but how do you propose we film it?”James smiled. “I’ve got a pretty good idea on that. You’re going to play a goddess in the video. You can act as the Goddess of Justice or a punisher from hell. Whichever you choose, as long as you play the role of a judge, I’m sure everyone will enjoy it.”Tamara and Margot shared a glance, their eyes brightening up at the idea.“A goddess, you say? You’ll look so angelic and beautiful,” Margot piped up from beside Tamara while imagining her friend in a beautiful, billowing dress.Tamara shook her head. “I don’t want to reveal my face. You know I’ve always used makeup to change my appearance when I filmed my TikTok videos, right?”James looked at her appraisingly and said, “I don’t think I got the chance to tell you just how amazing you are at that. Your makeup skills are awesome!”Tamara smiled. “Thank you.”James was able to read her signing. Suddenly, he asked, “Have
Tamara honestly had no idea what happened to the phone. Either way, she couldn’t find it when she went looking.Margot said while driving, “Tammy, you’ve changed.”Tamara looked at Margot curiously. “How so?” she thought.Margot smiled and elaborated without further prompting, “You blush a lot easier now. Furthermore, when that husband of yours gets mentioned in conversations, your eyes seem to sparkle. You’ve fallen in love with him, haven’t you?”When Tamara heard that, her eyes suddenly lit up with emotion. She looked out the window and admired the beautiful scenery. Margot’s laughter, however, soon disturbed her peace.“Look at you. You’re blushing again! But judging by the look on Sebastian’s face, I think he might feel the same for you,” Margot said, her smile turning a little coy near the end.Tamara wanted to shut her up by stuffing something into her mouth. However, Margot was driving, so she could not do anything about it.Margot continued, “But Tammy, my dear, you’ll
The woman scrutinized Margot briefly, looking pissed off. “Who the hell are you?”The woman neither admitted nor denied the accusation. It didn’t appear that Benjamin had requested this woman’s services at all.Margot smiled after piecing together what she had heard. “It doesn’t matter who I am to you. What’s troubling is that you drugged the man currently in that room. You do realize you’ve committed a crime?”The woman froze. “What nonsense are you spouting? I have no idea what you’re talking about!”The woman was trying to cover up.Margot stormed up to the woman and snatched the key card away. “I’m Benjamin Inkling’s friend. He called and told me that he wasn’t feeling well. Isn’t it odd that I found you lingering outside his room door just as I was about to check up on him? You were even talking about drugging someone through the phone! I wonder what would happen if I called the police right now.”The woman panicked. “This is slander! I would never drug anyone!”With that,
