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
Joanne stood at the workshop entrance, her gaze fixed on Tamara.Margot inched closer to Tamara. “She definitely has bad intentions.”Tamara smiled and signed, “Don’t worry, I’ll only be a minute.”“Go ahead. I’ll keep an eye out for you from here.” Margot nodded.Tamara got up and walked up to Joanne. She raised her phone to show her a line of text which read, “Miss Custry, to what do I owe this pleasure?”Joanne swept her eyes over Tamara, her eyes flashing with disdain. Then, she said, “Let’s talk in the café downstairs.”Tamara nodded.Aside from the soft music playing in the background, the café was relatively quiet.“Young Mrs. Lynch. Sorry, I mean Miss Simmons. Let me tell you something. You are not worthy of Sebastian,” Joanne went straight to the point. Her arms were crossed as she glared down at Tamara, looking like she thought she was infinitely superior.Tamara blinked at the woman. She did not expect Joanne to be this straightforward.Her slender fingers began to
“What? She invited you to her party? What for? Is she provoking you on purpose?” Margot was surprised. “Are you going?”Tamara signed, “I’m still considering it.”Margot sneered. “She really did declare war just like that! How foolishly daring of her.”Tamara did not respond.After returning to the workshop, they started to film.Tamara was already used to the entire process and had mastered the techniques. As such, the shoot went by smoothly.Everything got completed by the afternoon.Margot drove Tamara home. She watched as her friend unbuckled the seatbelt and asked, “So, what do you plan to do?”“I’m going to see what all the fuss is about,” Tamara replied.Margot nodded. “Alright. I’ll keep you company.”Tamara nodded, then got out of the car and went inside to nap.She was exhausted. She needed rest.…When Tamara arrived at 1999 in the evening, she spotted a familiar car.It was Sebastian’s.He was indeed here.Tamara had no idea why, but a strange feeling welled
Margot, on the other hand, had already been dragged away by Benjamin, who had appeared out of nowhere. The man hadn’t even said hello to Tamara.Tamara could only watch as Tamara got dragged away. She reached out a hand but was unable to grab Margot’s hand.She felt waves of heat fill her body. She was starting to get dizzy.She couldn’t stay here any longer. She had to get out.She looked up and noticed Sebastian, who was a short distance away, had his eyes downcast. He appeared to be looking at his phone.Tamara forced her body to move in his direction.As long as she made it to Sebastian, she knew everything would be okay.They were neither too close nor too far apart. However, since the room was so crowded, the distance between them seemed to stretch indefinitely.Tamara squeezed her way through, bit by bit. She was only a few steps away from Sebastian. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of her, blocking her path.“Tamara, are you okay?”Hearing a familiar voice, Tamara
James stood up after casting a glance at Tamara as Sebastian was carrying her off. As he ran a hand over his shirt to smooth it out, he said, “Sorry, but I can’t agree with what you’re telling me to do.”When Sebastian and Joanne arrived, they discovered an unconscious Tamara lying on the couch while James talked to her.They didn’t seem to react to the scene.Sebastian had an icy look on his face because Tamara was ill, yet James made no move to bring her to the hospital.That was very suspicious.Joanne stared coldly at James. “Do you wish to call off your engagement with Jessica?”A look of indifference replaced James’ usual gentle face. “Will I be able to marry her if I follow through?”“You!” Joanne was angry that James did not do as she said.But the plan failed, and nothing could change that.Joanne stomped off, leaving James alone in the room.James stood rooted to his spot. His gaze lowered, and there was a faint look on his face.In the end, he couldn’t bring himse
Tamara thought she’d been thrown into another nightmare.She was glad it was Sebastian and not anyone else.Something primal within him stirred when Sebastian saw Tamara in her birthday suit. “What’s wrong?” he asked, grabbing Tamara’s shoulders.Tamara looked up and signed, “Last night, I thought it was…”Before she finished, an odd feeling washed over her.Tamara slowly looked down and discovered her chest was exposed. In fact, she was standing naked.Tamara’s face became as red as a tomato. She grabbed the blanket quickly and wrapped it around herself. Her bright, clear eyes did not dare to meet Sebastian’s.Oh, my God!What was she doing?Tamara couldn’t believe she had conversed with Sebastian in the nude. She even rushed over to hug him!Tamara wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and hide inside it.Sebastian chuckled lowly. He walked over and sat on the bed. He observed Tamara’s blushing face and said huskily, “This isn’t the first time I saw you in this state.”T
Tamara turned to Sebastian in suspicion. “What are you planning to do?”Sebastian’s face turned stern. “Did she think she could escape from all the wrongdoings she did? Dream on!”Hearing this, Tamara knew Sebastian was going to deal with Joanne.However, Joanne was part of Clacton’s Custry family. It wasn’t a good idea to go against them, right?Sebastian observed Tamara’s worries. His lips curled into a devilish smirk. “Are you worried for me?”Tamara nodded. “I don’t want to cause you trouble.”After all, when one was at a disadvantage, it wouldn’t be wise to go against their opponents head-on. Instead, they should lay low and look for the right opportunity before giving the winning blow.Sebastian pulled Tamara into his embrace and kissed her on the top of her head. He whispered, “Don’t worry. We’ll be fine.”Tamara’s doubts were chased away when she saw the stern look on Sebastian’s face and the kingly aura he was giving off. She nodded at his words.Jerome, who was stand
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
