Back in the hospital ward, Margot noticed that a few more people had entered the room. When Solomon saw her, he asked, "So what did the doctor say?""I'm fine." Margot shook her head.Solomon relaxed and introduced, "This is my eldest sister, Abigail, and my younger sister, Janine. She's Margot Zimmerman, my friend."Margot nodded at them. "Hello."Abigail smiled. "Hello, Ms. Zimmerman. Solomon told me about you. It's nice to finally meet you."Margot remained composed.Janine looked relatively young, seemingly still in high school. With a lollipop in her mouth, she glanced at Margot. "Hello, are you my brother's girlfriend?"She was pretty blunt, catching Solomon off guard. He immediately said, "Enough, Janine. She's just a friend."Janine quirked a brow. "You would go to such lengths for a friend? I've never seen you like this with your other friends.""Janine!" Solomon's expression hardened. Janine snorted but decided to keep her mouth shut.Abigail sighed. "Please don't
Solomon looked at Abigail. "What do you mean?"Abigail shrugged. "I said what I said. I can help you if you want to. Of course, this conversation never happened if you don't want to."Solomon had a weird look on his face. He observed Abigail's calm look and thought about his feelings for Margot.After some hesitation, he suddenly snickered. "Forget it."Abigail looked at him in surprise. "You thought it over so quickly?"Solomon nodded. "Yes. She likes Benjamin. She wouldn't fall for me even if I snatched her away. She might even hate me. Instead of that, I'd rather we remain friends."At least he could still stay by Margot's side as a friend. If he hurt her, he might lose her forever. And he didn't want that.Abigail grew confused. "You've changed."Solomon closed his eyes. "I'm tired. You should go back."Abigail sighed. "Okay, rest well."With that, she left....Margot was unaware of their conversation. Otherwise, she would surely find it amusing. She and Solomon had on
"What do you want to eat?" Natasha pulled Margot to their table and handed her the menu with a grin.Margot slowly browsed the menu and asked, "Why does the restaurant feel strange?"Natasha was caught off guard by her question. However, she quickly composed herself and said, "Strange? But I don't feel anything different. Maybe there's some event going on."Margot quirked a brow. "Is that so?"Natasha replied, "Maybe we've just stumbled upon it. Anyway, just order your food.""Alright." Margot selected a few dishes. "What about you?"Natasha shrugged. "I'll go with whatever you're having.""Sure." Margot handed the menu back to the waiter. The waiter took the menu and handed her a red rose. "Miss, you are our 100th customer. You get a rose as a special gift. We hope you enjoy your meal!"Margot accepted it. "Thank you." She brought the rose to her nose, taking in the faint fragrance. A smile appeared on her face.Natasha took out her phone and took several pictures of her.
Natasha had left the dining table. Margot held the diamond ring in her hand and stared at it excitedly.A romantic melody started playing. Soon, a man holding a large bouquet of red roses walked toward her. With each step, the ground beneath his feet lit up as if he were walking on a bridge of light.Margot's eyes watered at the approaching figure. The man was tall, and he was dressed in a black suit. His handsome face, paired with his charming eyes, was staring adoringly at her.He walked up to Margot with the bouquet of roses in his hand. A small smile played on his lips. "Ms. Margot Zimmerman, please forgive my intrusion, but there is a confession I must make. Since I first laid my eyes upon you, I have been having thoughts about you."The crowd had to suppress their cheers at the man's word. They didn't want to ruin the romantic atmosphere. However, they also couldn't stop themselves from laughing.Margot silently gazed at him. Benjamin continued, "I am a lucky man to have bag
Margot noticed Benjamin was in a daze and grew worried. "What's wrong, Benjamin?"Benjamin, however, didn't react.Seeing this, Tamara and Sebastian walked over. Tamara grabbed Benjamin's wrist and carefully checked his condition.After a while, she let go. "He's fine."Margot was confused. "Then why isn't he responding?""I'm fine." Just then, Benjamin suddenly spoke. His voice was a bit hoarse, and he reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose. "I just zoned out for a moment. I was probably too excited."Those scenes flickering in his mind disappeared before he could react. But he was certain they were his memories—memories he had long forgotten.Margot said, "You must be tired. Let's go home and rest."Benjamin nodded. "Okay."The romantic atmosphere soon faded. The lights brightened, and the curtains were drawn back again. As the sunlight streamed in, the people all fell into a daze.The crowd soon dispersed.…Tamara frowned in the car. Sebastian held her hand. "What
After the proposal, Benjamin began to prepare for the wedding.Shane was furious when he received the news. He felt that Benjamin had overstepped his boundary! How could Benjamin decide on such a big matter without consulting him first? Did Benjamin have experience with proposing? He had never done it before! That fucking brat!Shane was angry beyond words. But despite his anger, he still called Benjamin back to discuss the wedding arrangements."I won't stop you since you've made up your mind. However, you have to think this through. Once the wedding is held, the entire Londsville will know about your marriage, and Margot's identity will be exposed. By then, the two of you may have to endure the rumors and gossip. Even the company will be affected by this. So, Benjamin, are you ready to bear the risk?"Shane was tired, and his wrinkled face reflected his old age. He had given his all to ensure the Inkling Corporation's success. And now he would have to go through the trials and
Tamara observed Margot closely. "What are you worried about?"Margot remained silent for a while. "I don't think Benjamin and Sebastian will agree."Tamara asserted, "Sebastian will."Margot sighed. "But I'm not sure if Benjamin will."Tamara pondered for a moment. "That's true. He lost his memories of us. If he didn't, I'm sure he will agree."It was tough to say now.Margot nodded. "So let's forget about it. You can be my bridesmaid first, and then I'll be your bridesmaid next.""Okay," Tamara agreed.It was just an idea. And it was up to Margot to decide on her wedding.In the following days, Benjamin showed Margot numerous wedding plans. Each one was made to be the wedding of the century, one that could leave the world in awe.However, Margot didn't like such ceremonies. She felt they were too extravagant. It didn't fit her idea of a wedding.Margot desired a wedding that was uncomplicated and went off without a hitch. She was fine even if there wasn't a ceremony to begi
Surprise flashed across Margot's face. "You're willing to give me your savings? Are you trying to get me to help with some shady businesses?"Andrew closed his eyes, annoyed by her words. Margot shook her head. "No, thanks."Andrew looked at her. "But you're marrying into the Inkling family. Without a good family background or some insane amount of dowry, the Inkling family would not treat you well."Margot sneered. "I don't care about them. I'm marrying Benjamin, not them."Andrew gave her a solemn look. Seeing her determination, he nodded. "Fine, I won't insist since you've decided."He stood up to leave.Margot watched his retreating figure. Suddenly, she asked, "My mother … have you ever looked for her?"Age was starting to catch up to Andrew. He remained silent for a while before leaving.Margot lowered her gaze, a ghost of a sneer appearing on her face.What difference would it make if Andrew did look for Gwenda? It had been years since Gwenda's death.When Margot exi
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
