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
Benjamin had been friends with Sebastian for many years now. Sebastian knew why Benjamin did what he did.However, Sebastian also took note of Benjamin’s changes.“Benjamin is not in Londsville. I don’t know where he went,” informed Sebastian.Tamara narrowed her eyes. “How could he do that?”Even if he was having an argument with Margot, he shouldn’t have laid his hands on her.Sebastian saw Tamara’s rage and took her by the hand. “We’ll have to wait for his return to find out exactly what happened. All you have to do now is worry about yourself, okay?”Tamara twitched at that. Margot was her friend. How could she not worry?Tamara couldn’t help but giggle as she stared at the blatantly envious Sebastian.Sebastian pecked the corners of her lips. “What are you laughing at?”Tamara shook her head and said nothing.If she were to mention it, Sebastian would keep his emotions in check the next time.She liked seeing him like this.…Back at the Simmons residence, Anthony was
Tamara stopped in her tracks. She lowered her gaze to the grass. A black box had fallen near her feet. She curiously lifted her skirt and bent down. Anthony walked over and drew Tamara aside by her arm.“Allow me to check what’s inside,” said Anthony.Tamara’s clear eyes shone with worry. “Be careful.”It seemed strange that a box would suddenly appear out of nowhere.She couldn’t help but think back to the murderous gaze she had felt earlier.What exactly was inside the box?Anthony nodded before cautiously approaching. He gave it a kick. The box jolted, indicating that it contained nothing heavy.Tamara sighed in relief. If there were a bomb inside, the box wouldn’t have moved from the kick.Anthony let his guard down and bent down to pick the box up.The box was the size of both his palm.Anthony found the opening to the box and pulled it open. Something dropped out.When Tamara saw the thing, she gagged and rushed to the bathroom.It was a dead rat!The rat was covered
Jerome smiled in amusement at the crowd’s failed attempt to keep their curiosity in check.That was just one video call. He had witnessed more intimate scenes between the couple before!Jerome snickered at the crowd. What a bunch of losers.…At the Simmons residence.Anthony was quick in his investigation. He came over to knock on Tamara’s room door just as she hung up the phone.Tamara went to open the door, and Anthony handed the laptop over to her.The footage from the surveillance camera was displayed on the screen. A person was seen hiding in the corner a few minutes before the box was thrown. That person was constantly peering inside.That person was also the one who had thrown the box.“Find and capture that person,” ordered Tamara coldly. She needed to know what the person’s intention was.Anthony nodded before leaving.When Sebastian returned home in the evening, he noticed Tamara lounging on the couch. Her hand was placed over her bulging stomach, and her gaze was
When the man heard James’ name, his eyes instinctively lit up in recognition. Sebastian snorted, “Why did he send you?”“I don’t know who you’re talking about. No one sent me,” the man said obstinately.Tamara’s beautiful brows knitted together. “How could you suspect James? He has no reason to hurt me.”Sebastian’s face turned cold when he heard that. “How can you be certain?”Sebastian’s question dumbfounded Tamara. “You have a biased view of him. Also, he’s not even in Londsville.”Sebastian frowned at her. “I won’t let a single suspect off. He reacted to James’ name. That could only mean one thing. James was the one behind this.”Tamara couldn’t believe her ears. “You’re putting the blame on James just because of this? You are too quick to judge, Sebastian!”Sebastian watched as Tamara flew into a fit. He tightened his jaw before returning his gaze to the man. “Use the scented tea leaves on him!”The guard nodded and crinkled the leaves. He pressed them against the suspec
