Tamara and Margot turned around and saw Eugenia walking in with another girl.The mocking words came from none other than the girl.“Where the fuck did you come from? Did you learn anything in school? Who gave you the right to spew bullshit everywhere you go?” snapped Margot. She didn’t care who the girl was.The girl’s face fell. “What? Everyone knows she’s mute. Can’t a girl tell the truth?”“I agree. Everyone knows you’re a bitch! Can’t a girl tell the truth?” mocked Margot.The girl stamped her feet in anger. She almost lost control and hit Margot.Tamara smiled. Margot was a fighter through and through.But why did the girl look familiar?A memory sprung up. Tamara remembered. This girl followed Rowena everywhere. If her memory served her right, the girl was called Elina Grand, and she came from a family of upstarts. She was always complimenting Rowena. Since Rowena disappeared, she seemed to have leeched onto someone else.Elina glared harshly at Tamara. “What the fuck a
Tamara couldn’t help but laugh as she entered the fitting room.Elina piped up, “Goddess? Have you looked in the mirror recently? She can’t even talk. Goddess my ass!”Margot rolled her eyes at her. “Was one slap not enough? Who told you a goddess is defined by her voice? Can’t she just be pretty? You seemed reluctant to admit how pretty Tammy is. Are you jealous?”Eugenia nearly exploded in rage. She laughed mockingly as a thought passed through her mind. “You’re right. She’s pretty. How else could she become Young Mrs. Lynch? What a touching tale of rags to riches.”Margot spared a look at Eugenia. “Have you ever tried teaching your dog anything? The Simmons family was once one of Londsville’s wealthy families. At least, they were far better off than some upstart family.”Elina gasped.Margot was not one to hold back.Eugenia smiled gently. “It is as you say. The Simmons family is a thing of the past.”“That’s right!” agreed Elina. She smiled triumphantly at Margot.Margot t
A black card with the word ‘Lynch’ on it? It must be Sebastian’s card.Eugenia had just made fun of Tamara for not having access to the Lynch family’s wealth. Tamara now pulled out a black card. Tamara’s place in the family was as clear as day.Eugenia felt as if she had been hit in the face!Margot smirked at Eugenia. “Some people are completely unaware of where they stand. How could an outsider possibly know what goes on between a husband and wife behind closed doors?”Eugenia fell silent.Margot’s reminder stung.Tamara was only a step ahead of her.If Eugenia had slept with Sebastian, she would be the one in the spotlight instead!Although Eugenia was burning with jealousy, her face remained indifferent. She smiled as she suddenly remembered something. “I’m curious, Young Mrs. Lynch, if Young Mr. Lynch told you about last night? I was in a hotel with him.”Eugenia spared a meaningful look at Tamara before leaving with Elina.Elina looked at Eugenia with wide eyes after th
What a sweet tone Eugenia was using…Tamara’s brows knitted together before she unwittingly turned to Margot.Seeing how disgustingly sweet Eugenia’s tone was, it was apparent something was going on between them. Tamara never knew Benjamin was ‘friends’ with Eugenia.Margot was not oblivious. Her expression shifted before a smirk cut across her face. “So the great Mr. Inkling was gone for a few days because he was accompanying his ‘friend.’”Benjamin smiled. “What business do you have with me?”“You should know why I was looking for you,” Margot growled. She glared harshly at Benjamin before telling Tamara, “Since the great Mr. Inkling has to accompany his’ friend,’ let’s not bother them any further. Come on. I’ll send you home.”Tamara could feel something was up with Margot, but judging from their situation, now was not the time for that.Tamara nodded and allowed Margot to drag her away. The two left the mall.Eugenia watched the two leave victoriously. She was happy to brin
“I just think Ms. Zimmerman seemed to care a lot about you,” explained Eugenia. What was up with Benjamin?Why was he looking at her like that?Benjamin’s smile deepened. “I feel the same way.”Benjamin’s smile softened as he stared at the red sports car.…Meanwhile, back at Skarrowlilt Grove…Tamara got down from the car and signed to Margot, “Do you want to come inside?”Margot waved her hand lazily. “No thanks. I’m a little tired and want to head back for a nap.”Tamara nodded. “Take care.”Margot blew Tamara a kiss and drove off.Tamara entered the house and saw Ms. Thompson working in the kitchen. A maid whispered to her, and she hurried over to Tamara. “Welcome home, Young Mrs. Lynch. Do you have any cravings for today?”Tamara heard Ms. Thompson chuckle as she took out her phone to type. “Young Mrs. Lynch, you no longer have to type your words. I learned sign language.”Tamara was taken aback. Her clear eyes shone in surprise.Ms. Thompson held Tamara’s hands. “You
“Let me think,” said Sebastian. He even put on his thinking face.Tamara felt speechless.She reached out to give him a push. Sebastian was quick to grab her hand, and he pushed her against the lift wall.Tamara’s eyes widened. She couldn’t believe Sebastian would do this. “What are you doing, Sebastian?“A devilish smirk spread across Sebastian’s handsome face. “I know how you can pay me. You have to give me a kiss each time you take the lift.”Tamara’s eyes narrowed. In the next second, Sebastian closed in on her.He kissed her forcefully, not letting her escape.Tamara let out a shaky breath, and her hand unconsciously grabbed Sebastian’s collar.Their breaths melded. Tamara blushed as Sebastian’s pleasant scent enveloped her. Her eyes glazed over as they narrowed into a slit. She looked extremely seductive like this.Sebastian’s breath quickened, and his hands grabbed onto Tamara’s waist. Only then did he realize how slim Tamara’s waist was despite her bulging stomach.
Tamara smiled triumphantly and turned to head upstairs as Sebastian scowled in defeat.She hadn’t lost her appetite; she was simply too full. But she knew she had to act after seeing Sebastian’s piercing gaze.After a moment of silence, Sebastian sighed, and a hint of adoration flashed across his face.…That week was the game competition. Tamara received a video call from Margot informing her of the location and time.“It is still held at ST Club, but the time has changed. The competition will begin at 12 pm instead of 8 am,” informed Margot.Tamara was putting on her makeup. She stopped when she heard this. “Why?”“I’m not sure. It appeared that the rules had changed. It has got to be Benjamin. Who knows what that jerk was thinking.” Margot remained enraged whenever Benjamin got mentioned.Tamara couldn’t help but laugh. “Maybe Benjamin knows how much you love to sleep in?”“What a considerate man,” huffed Margot.Tamara left it at that and continued with her makeup. The co
The donation notifications kept appearing one after the other in the live stream.In shock, Margot exclaimed, “Oh, my! Cutie! When did you gain such a wonderful fan?”Tamara found herself in an awkward situation because of her words. The viewers were in a frenzy.“Cutie’s friend said we’re not fans. Are we just supposed to accept that?”“I’ll show you how many fans are here today!”“We can’t let Cutie down. Hurry! Send in the donations!”“That’s right. I’d rather go broke than make Cutie sad!”The comments went wild. The donations came in thick and fast.This time, the fan from before made nine donations, and the screen got inundated with notifications.“Holy shit, Cutie! Your viewers are insane!” Margot was in awe of the viewers’ wealth. She knew streamers could earn a lot but never knew it could be this much.Tamara was not expecting to see the chaos when she looked away from the match.She wanted to stop them, but her written words were lost in the sea of comments.Tamar
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
