Margot felt helpless.Benjamin held her hand. When he saw her deadpan look, his smile deepened. "Margot is quite weak right now. We need to wait until she gets better."Shane asked, "What's wrong with Ms. Zimmerman's health?" Margot was still a lively brat before. Why did she suddenly become so weak?Margot responded, "I just feel a little sick. I'll be fine after some rest."Shane narrowed his eyes. "Will it affect the next generation? If it does, I think ...""Grandpa," Benjamin's stern voice sounded. "I didn't marry Margot because I wanted kids."Shane glanced at him. "What's this? I showed you some leverage, yet you're still overstepping my boundaries. Can I not have an opinion?"Benjamin fell silent.Shane snorted and left for the other room. He was furious.Margot couldn't help but smile. When Benjamin saw this, he asked, "Aren't you angry?""Not at all." Margot shook her head. "Grandpa Shane is quite cute."Benjamin widened his eyes slightly. "You think he's cute ev
Benjamin shrugged lazily. "It's not up to you to decide if I can take over the company.""You!" Trevor was infuriated. "Show some respect, Benjamin! I'm your father!"Benjamin sneered. "Oh, so you remember that you're my father. I almost thought you only remember having one son—Lance."Trevor stared at him. "Lancey has given up competing with you. Why are you still trying to hold this against him?"Benjamin snorted. "If you called me here to ask why I married Margot, I'll give you a firm answer. It's because I love her and can't live without her. Don't even try to stop me."Trevor's face darkened. "Benjamin, do you think you can do whatever you want just because your grandpa adores you?"Benjamin gave him a cold look. "That's all you can ever think about. Have you seen the contributions I made to the company? Trevor Inkling, don't erase my efforts because of your prejudice. You don't have to hold the Inkling Corporation over my head. I want Margot, and I want the company. You can
Shane snorted. "He only has two sons, but the love he showers them with is worlds apart. How dare he scold you?"Benjamin looked at him in surprise. Shane wouldn't speak like this in the past. After all, Trevor was his son, and Shane always urged Benjamin to endure and respect his father, Trevor. Why would he be saying this now?Benjamin narrowed his eyes suspiciously. This sense of weirdness seemed to have started when he woke up from his coma. Things had been changing drastically, and this feeling of discord made him uncomfortable. He felt his situation shouldn't be as messed up as it was now."What's on your mind?" Margot curiously asked when she noticed him in a daze."Nothing." Benjamin regained his focus. Although it felt strange, things were developing normally. It was unlike before, when he and his father had a strained relationship.Benjamin and Margot returned home after spending the morning at the Inkling Manor. Benjamin left for the company while Margot rested at hom
Solomon gave Abigail a blank look. "Do you need something?"Abigail quirked a brow. "Uncle's family came to visit. I heard their family is facing some difficulties recently. You know how Dad is. He will definitely help them. But Kayla is being unreasonable. She's asking us to fund her studies abroad! Who does she think she is?"Solomon's expression turned unpleasant. His dad and uncle, being half-brothers, had separated a long time ago. Their grandmother decided to divide the family assets equally, and she chose to follow her younger son. She even gave all her jewelry pieces to her younger son as well. From that point on, the two brothers had cut all ties with each other.His uncle's family used to be a big deal in Londsville. Everyone in town had always respected them. However, his uncle's company suddenly went downhill some time ago, forcing them to sell all their assets to alleviate the urgent situation.They had come to Solomon's family for help many times and were rejected eac
Upon hearing this, Kayla realized that Solomon and Margot were not close at all. She relaxed instantly. "Yes, we're very close. I'll talk to her. She would come if she doesn't have anything going on."Solomon's eyes lit up. "Really?"Kayla nodded. "Of course. I will do my best for the sake of your future happiness."A gentle smile appeared on Solomon's face. "If you can invite her to Grandma's birthday banquet, I will help with your family's issues."Kayla smiled at this. "Alright, leave it to me!"Solomon nodded. "Okay."Kayla left Colleen Manor. She held her phone tightly while she thought of a plan. How could she get Margot to come over?She felt a bit resentful. Why did every man she knew fall for Margot? First, it was Benjamin. And now, Solomon.Kayla snorted. It didn't matter. Once Margot came over and did something with Solomon, Benjamin would surely hate her.A malicious smile appeared on Kayla's face, and her eyes shone cunningly. She turned and left.…The next day
For a while, only silence filled the air. Kayla felt anxious, but her voice remained calm. "Don't you think you're holding yourself too highly, Margot? Do you think Benjamin will still like you even if he lost his memory?"Margot remained silent for a moment. "What did he leave with you?"Kayla replied, "You'll know when you see it. Just come over. You don't have to worry about me hurting you. Who would bring someone home to harm them?"Margot snorted, obviously not believing what Kayla said.Kayla continued, "Margot, this is probably the last time we'll meet. After I return Benjamin's stuff, I'm going abroad for further studies. I won't come between you two anymore. You must be happy, right?"Going abroad for further studies? Didn't the Cooper family go bankrupt?Although Margot was puzzled, her tone didn't betray her emotions. "Fine, I want to see what you're up to."With that, she ended the call. Kayla sighed in relief. She didn't have anything belonging to Benjamin. It was
Numerous individuals from Londsville were invited to attend Teresa Norton's birthday banquet at the Colleen Manor. Teresa was Solomon's grandmother, and among the guests were quite a few individuals with prestigious backgrounds. The Inkling family was not invited, and Benjamin was away on a business trip, so Margot came to the Colleen Manor alone. She stepped out of the car and observed the beautifully decorated courtyard, a perfect smile playing on her lips.A gentle voice rang out, saying, "Margot, you really came." Solomon walked up to her. He had been waiting at the door. When he saw Margot, his eyes instantly lit up.Margot was puzzled. "What do you mean?"Kayla walked over. "I didn't lie to you, did I, Solomon? Margot and I are friends. She agreed to come when I told her about Grandma's birthday."As Kayla spoke, she affectionately hooked her arm around Margot's.Margot narrowed her eyes slightly as countless thoughts flashed through her mind. In the end, she simply pull
Solomon turned and left to entertain the other guests. Kayla, on the other hand, had a dark look on her face."You can't do this, Solomon. You promised." Kayla stepped forward to try to persuade him.However, Solomon shot her a warning look. "If you cause more trouble, I'll have someone throw you out. Consequently, your family's reputation would be ruined. If that happened, I wonder who would agree to cooperate with your family."His words frightened Kayla, and she refrained from stirring up trouble....After leaving, Margot received a call from Natasha. They agreed to meet at a café.Natasha soon arrived. "Why aren't you at home?"Margot explained the situation. Natasha blinked. "Don't you know? Kayla is Solomon's cousin."Margot shrugged. "I only found out today that they were related."Natasha looked amused. "So, what's your deal with her? Is it because of a man?"Margot nodded. "It is."Natasha shook her head while clicking her tongue. "What's the point of fighting over
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
