When Ms. Thompson walked over, she immediately sensed something was wrong. She observed the confused Tamara and also Sebastian, who was going upstairs. Slowly making her way to Tamara, she asked, “What happened, Young Mrs. Lynch?”Tamara was also in the dark. “I’m not sure.”Sebastian seemed furious.Who angered him?Ms. Thompson suggested, “Maybe you should check up on him, Young Mrs. Lynch. I hope nothing bad happened.”Tamara nodded. Although she wasn’t sure why Sebastian gave her cold shoulders, she was determined to get to the bottom of it.Tamara saw Sebastian entering his study room.Sebastian came home just to work?Tamara walked over. When she opened the door, a low voice sounded, “Don’t you know how to knock?”Tamara blinked with her clear eyes. Upon seeing the stern look on Sebastian’s face, she closed the door and knocked.“Come in,” said Sebastian coldly. Only then did Tamara enter.“What’s up with you?” signed Tamara.Sebastian was leaning against the table. H
Tamara tilted her head. “He’s leaving today?”James told her he was only leaving tomorrow.Sebastian snorted, “Another lie.”Tamara pursed her lips. Her gaze landed on the files. It was too clean to be true.What secrets was James hiding?“Tamara, you’re not the only one affected now. You can’t be thinking only for yourself all the time. Think about our babies.” Sebastian saw the thoughtful look on Tamara’s face and reminded gently.After a moment of silence, Tamara nodded. “I know.”Sebastian reached out to grab her hands, but Tamara had turned to leave.Sebastian’s face fell. “What are you doing?”Tamara didn’t notice Sebastian reaching out for her hand. She wanted to discuss this with Margot. After all, Margot was their middleman back then.Maybe Margot knew something that they didn’t.Tamara swiftly made her way to the room before giving Margot a video call.However, her calls never made it through.Why was that?Realization hit Tamara like a truck. Ever since last ni
Tamara cleared her throat.They really shouldn’t discuss this any further.…Time slipped by. Soon, Tamara was six months into her pregnancy. She decided to go for another checkup. This time, she did so in secret.Thinking about the conversation she heard in her last checkup, Tamara felt nothing but disgust toward Yareli.Even Sebastian was kept in the dark this time.Tamara smiled in relief when the reports came out since everything was okay.Just then, her phone buzzed.Tamara pulled out her phone and saw it was a text from Anthony. “Jocelyn had been hanging out with Janine a lot these days. I dug deeper and discovered that Janine was Eugenia’s younger sister. Jocelyn even bought some aphrodisiac. Her birthday is in three days.”Tamara knitted her brows at the text. She let out a sigh and felt helpless.Jocelyn still hated her.She would even join hands with Eugenia.After a moment of thought, Tamara replied, “Keep an eye out for her.”Anthony complied.…It was Jocely
Janine wasn’t expecting Tamara to call out to her. However, looking at Tamara typing away on her phone, disdain flashed through Janine’s eyes.How could such a person compete with her sister?Eugenia was the one who deserved the title “Young Mrs. Lynch.”“Hello, Aunt Tamara. I’m Janine.” Although Janine thought poorly of Tamara, she plastered on a sweet smile regardless.Something glinted within Tamara’s eyes. She typed, “You must be on very good terms with Jocelyn. I’m sure the both of you help each other out a lot, right?”Jocelyn paused and secretly rolled her eyes at the idea. Who would want to be friends with Jocelyn?However, Jocelyn merely smiled and nodded. “That’s right.”“If that’s the case, I’ll hand this gift to you instead. Think of it as a thank-you gift from me. After all, you’re Jocelyn’s best friend,” typed Tamara. She was smiling ear to ear at Janine.Janine’s eyes widened before she shook her head. “I can’t take it. That’s Jocelyn’s gift for you.”Jocelyn wa
Outside the manor.A cold breeze blew past them. Tamara came back to her senses. She looked around the yard before turning to Jocelyn in confusion. “Where are you bringing me?” Jocelyn didn’t expect Tamara to come back to her senses so soon. She sneered, “I’m sending you away for good!”Tamara was startled and struggled against Jocelyn. However, her limbs didn’t feel like hers, and she was too weak to do anything. She was like a ragdoll being held up by Jocelyn.Very soon, they arrived at the backyard swimming pool. Tamara signed anxiously, looking at the clear water, “You can’t do this. If you kill me, you won’t be able to survive as well.”Jocelyn said darkly, “I’m fine as long as you’re dead. You killed my family. It’s only fair if you die too!”With that, Jocelyn pushed with all her might. Weirdly enough, black smoke surrounded her without warning, leaving her blind.Not long after, a scream cut through the air.The smoke dispersed, and Jocelyn was surprised to find Janine
A certain fierceness was present on Anthony’s stone-cold face. His eyes held depths equivalent to the deepest part of the sea.“You shouldn’t have done that to her,” said Anthony coldly.Jocelyn paused. “Are you lecturing me on behalf of Tamara? I should have known. You always acted as her spokesperson. All she had to do was give you a glance, and you would know what to say. The both of you sure are two peas in a pod. I wonder how you came to know each other so well. Did you perhaps learn to sync up with her when you bedded her?”“Miss Jocelyn!” yelled Anthony to prevent her from continuing her dirty words. “You should know I was brought up with her. I am her bodyguard!”Anthony was brought in by Tamara’s mother to protect Tamara back when they were young. They practically lived together. The only difference was Anthony worked in the dark to serve Tamara. He grew to know her by observing her closely.He would never allow anyone to insult Tamara.Jocelyn snorted, “Why won’t you ad
Downstairs.Sebastian was just entering the kitchen when he heard footsteps shuffling behind him. He turned only to see Tamara making haste down the stairs.Tamara was only six months pregnant, but she was carrying triplets, so her stomach was enormous. She needed to be careful with her steps, but she was practically running at the moment.“Why are you in such a hurry?” Sebastian pulled Tamara to a stop.Tamara looked anxious. “Forget the food. Send me to Margot’s house now! Something’s wrong!”Sebastian cocked his brow. What could possibly happen to Margot?However, seeing Tamara was on edge, Sebastian complied and drove her to Margot’s place after putting on a coat.The security system recognized Tamara’s fingerprint. She immediately entered upon her arrival. The living room was in a mess, and things were scattered around on the floor.Margot was lying on the couch. She was pale and short of breath. All in all, she looked to be in a terrible state.Tamara pounced to check up
Benjamin had been staying at her place for the past few days. No matter how many times Margot chased him away, one wrong move and Benjamin would change her mind with his action.After that, Margot gave up. He was just another mouth to feed and could even serve as a bedwarmer. It was not a bad deal.She was supposed to have a day off. However, when Margot came out from her room, she saw Benjamin standing by the railings with rapidly changing expressions.He appeared angry one moment and sinister the next. His eyes were bloodshot. That caught Margot off guard. She slowly crept up to him and asked, “What’s wrong, Benjamin?”When he heard her voice, Benjamin snapped his head around. He stared at Margot with his bloodshot eyes. His eyes kept switching between a loving look and an angry one. It looked as if two people were fighting to take over his body.“Are you okay, Benjamin? I’ll take you to the hospital.” Margot realized how bad the situation was.She knew the Benjamin she was acq
