A string of codes appeared rapidly on the computer screen, and Tamara’s fingers moved fast over the keyboard.“My dear Tammy, where on earth did you unearth these hacking skills of yours?” Margot exclaimed after snapping back to her senses.How was Tammy so multi-talented?She could bartend, make tea, game, change her appearance with makeup, and hack into databases!A moment later, Tamara finally stopped typing. As Margot drew nearer to the computer, she noticed that the screen was showing a satellite image.“What’s this?” Margot enquired while appearing lost.“It’s the baby-faced guy’s IP address,” Tamara signed.“You’re so cool!”Margot hugged Tamara and couldn’t help but kiss her on the cheek. Then, she said, “With this, we can finally track him! That’ll teach him for slandering you online! I’ll make sure to ruin his life!”Tamara smiled faintly, then moved her laptop aside.Margot was still curious. “Tell me, when did you get into hacking?”Tamara pondered before signing
Tamara pursed her lips unhappily, but she did not continue to stir up a fuss.When Sebastian noticed, he couldn’t help but frown.Tamara hadn’t been in a good mood since returning from the hospital. She kept sporting a grim look.He deduced that something must have happened in the hospital while she was getting her checkup. He wondered what it could be.Sebastian and Tamara went for a walk around the neighborhood after the meal.There was a park in the middle of the neighborhood. Many people were taking a stroll alongside them around this time.Tamara gazed at the sunset with squinted eyes. Suddenly, someone’s phone rang out.It was Sebastian’s.Tamara signed, “Go ahead and take the call. I’m going to sit over there.”She pointed at a bench nearby.“Alright.”Sebastian nodded.Tamara walked over to the bench, as mentioned.Many kids were running around playing amongst themselves.At this moment, a kid riding a bicycle suddenly rushed toward her.When Tamara realized what
The tension in the air was getting thicker by the minute.“I want to go home. I’m exhausted.” To prevent the situation from worsening, she tugged Sebastian forcefully in the direction of the villa.James’ voice rang out suddenly. “I’m looking forward to your visit, Young Mr. Lynch.”Tamara was rendered speechless.She wanted to drop off the face of the earth at this moment.Sebastian’s lips curled into a cold smirk. Just as he was about to retort, he spotted the frown on Tamara’s face. She looked really uncomfortable.“What’s wrong?”Tamara pushed Sebastian’s hand away from hers and headed toward the villa by herself.Sebastian was taken aback and decided he didn’t want to mess with James any longer. He dashed after Tamara and drew her into his embrace. “All right, let’s head home. Please don’t be angry with me, okay?”Tamara had pretended to put on a straight face on purpose. After hearing that, she decided to drop the facade.…James stared after their receding backs. Th
Tamara felt increasingly guilty. She reached out to take Sebastian’s hand, but he shied away. Then, he walked over to the sofa up ahead and took a seat.Tamara was stunned. Acknowledging the error of her ways, she rushed up to him and took the seat next to him. She signed, “I just wanted to earn some income on the side. You know how my life was when I was still living at the Simmons’ residence. I would have starved to death if I hadn’t found work to support myself.”Although the Simmons family had taken care of most of her needs, she would’ve lived like a canary in a cage if she had idled away without doing anything. If the Simmons family ceased to exist all of a sudden, she would grow vulnerable enough that even a gust of wind could do her in.As such, she worked to better herself.Her mother had taught her to make tea, and Tamara herself had discovered TikTok filming herself. She took an interest in the platform and realized it provided her with an avenue to make money. Therefore
Joanne walked up to Sebastian with a charming smile on her beautiful face.She reached out to wrap her hand around his arm, but Sebastian was quick to dodge her advances.“I’m waiting for my wife,” Sebastian said coldly. He did not even look at Joanne as he spoke, his eyes still pointedly fixed on Tamara at a distance.Joanne followed his gaze and saw that the woman was dressed in a strange costume. It looked like a film set.“What’s Young Mrs. Lynch doing?” Joanne asked, curious.Sebastian ignored her. When he saw that Tamara’s shoot had ended, he walked straight toward her.“Tired?”When Sebastian saw the bead of sweat on Tamara’s forehead, he asked with a frown.Tamara shook her head and signed, “No. It’s just a little hot.”“Sebastian, you have such a good relationship with your wife. I’m so envious,” Joanne said as she walked up to them.Tamara froze when she saw her. She hadn’t expected to see her here.Then, she glanced up at Sebastian with curiosity in her eyes.Wha
After a whole day of filming, the shoot for that one TikTok video finally ended.Upon returning to the Simmons’ residence, they spotted an unexpected yet familiar figure.Old Mr. Lynch was standing at the door with a crutch in hand. His expression darkened when he saw Tamara and Sebastian. “How long are you guys planning to stay here?”Sebastian held Tamara’s hand in hers, his expression cold as he said, “Grandpa, why don’t you come in with us and have a seat?”The old man scoffed. “This isn’t my home. Why the hell would I even step inside? I want you both to come back to Skarrowlilt Grove with me right this instant! It’s unbecoming for the both of you to stay here!”With that, Old Mr. Lynch got into the car he came in. He did not give them any room to protest.Tamara’s eyes were downcast. Her long eyelashes fluttered.“Head inside first. “I’ll be right over,” Sebastian said quietly.Tamara was stunned. She looked up at him and signed, “What are you planning to tell him?”“Don
With that, warm lips suddenly descended upon her.Tamara was rendered speechless.She just knew that Sebastian wouldn’t let her off that easily.…Jocelyn couldn’t stay in the house any longer after she ran into the kissing couple.She headed straight to a bar instead.“Why are you drinking here? Did that bodyguard reject you?” Janine was a frequent customer at the same bar. When she spotted Jocelyn, she walked up to her and asked sardonically.Jocelyn glared at her. “If you have nothing nice to say, shut up. Don’t make me pull your teeth out!”Janine froze. “Why are you so rude? No wonder that bodyguard doesn’t like you! Tamara might be mute, but she’s a proper lady. With her disability, it’s easy for her to gain sympathy from men too.”“Shut up!”Jocelyn was already feeling morose. After hearing what Janine said, she got even more upset.Janine merely sneered. “Jocelyn Simmons, why are you taking your anger out on me? You should be directing your anger at Tamara. Get it in
When Tamara heard that, her beautiful brows furrowed. “You’re getting bullied? By who?”Jocelyn looked as if she couldn’t care less. “Just let me know if you’re willing to lend me Anthony.”Tamara stared at her for a moment. She wanted Jocelyn to show her some proof before agreeing, but what if the young woman was telling the truth?Tamara signed, “Alright.”Jocelyn smiled. “Good. I want Anthony to accompany me to school tomorrow.”After that, she spun on her heel and went upstairs.Staring after Jocelyn’s receding back, she could not shake the feeling that something was off. She took out her phone and sent Anthony a message.Tamara: “Look up who Jocelyn has been interacting with recently. Let me know if you find anything strange.”Anthony: “Understood, miss.”…The kitchen gave off a pleasant aroma. Tamara put down her phone and walked inside, where she discovered Sebastian’s tall figure occupying the kitchen. His slender frame exuded a dignified and cool demeanor. Even thou
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
